I've always been amazed at the time and effort Dr. Pitman puts into
the creationist cause. Lately I noticed a section of his website
devoted to Ken Miller. How he rips Miller's arguments to shreds!

I pointed it out to Dr. Miller who was also impressed:

...wow.... am I flattered!

I'm delighted that I seem to have caused them so much trouble
that they need to "take care" of me in such a special way.

Later this week, my review of Michael Behe's new book
will be published in NATURE. I suspect that they will then
have even more things to say about me.

No doubt, although the book has been reviewed plenty already. But Dr.
Miller usually states his case so well!

LOL, Pitman concedes the evolutionary origin of the 2,4-DNT
degradation cascade, a seven-enzyme cascade that was assembled after
humans started putting the xenobiotic compound 2,4-DNT
(dinitrotoluene, closely related to explosives production with TNT)
into the environment in the 1930s.

He doesn't mention this, but it was assembled from bits and pieces of
3 separate ancestral pathways.

Yep, evolution sure has strict limits Sean...
