Apply these widely prevalent laws to dominant man and his recessive
alleged brute ancestor. The simian characteristics would appear in
some generations, if not in many. We would expect many offspring _to
have the recessive character of the ape_, and we ought not to be
surprised, if some recessive stock became permanent.

This reveals that the author has no idea what "recessive" means, or why
recessive alleles are recessive. Nor, of course, does McCoy.

Actually I do. The author is merely pointing out the facts of
genetics, namely that characteristics are inherited from the parents.
The traits are fixed.

Curiously, no geneticist seems to "know" this. Are you seriously
suggesting that no mutations happen?

Evolutionists merely takes the outward
evidence of this change and projects it into their idea speculating
that since evolution happened and is observed ("I tawt I taw a pink pea
plant arise from a white and red pea plant"

Which statement merely affirms any suspicion that you are clueless
regarding evolution. While gene shuffling and drift can make a
contribution to evolution, obviously nothing dramatic is going to
happen to a species without mutation.

What happens when evolution is observed in action (or induced from the
evidence) is that a beneficial mutation occurs, and environmental
conditions favor the reproduction of the individual expressing that
gene. It spreads thru the genepool because on the average, the
individual organisms expressing that gene (and therefore carrying it)
reproduce faster than those that do not.

therefore: "evolution is
true because there is a change" and thereby pontificate: "we came from
apes."

We *are apes, remember? Evolution is true because it happens, and it is
not the crossbreeding of minor variant genepools; it is the selection
of advantageous mutations by the environment. We don't have to
pontificate; that's a tool for those who have neither reasoned
discourse nor evidence to support their assertions. (Altho it's true
that your use of the Tweety Bird voice nearly won me over. Could you do
a whole post like that for us sometime?)

The *evidence points ot our being descended from other apes. What else
would we be descended from?
