Taxacom: Belief is not science

Ken notes that "Yes, thankfully most workers still recognize a paraphyletic
Class Reptilia, a paraphyletic Class Amphibia, a paraphyletic Class
Crustacea, etc."

Apparently about 37% of USA folk believe in Creationism. Perhaps we should
be thankful that only 10% believe the Earth is flat.

I believe we are more likely descended from a last common ancestor with
orangutans. I believe that panbiogeography is more right about evolution
than wrong.

These are just beliefs. Belief is not science. Should be my Epitaph.

Cheers, John Grehan
