[Platt]
I agree that for all intents and purposes, evolution currently at the
biological level has little significance if indeed it is occuring at all.
The free force of life now operates through individaul human beings
responding to it. The last 500 years has seen more evolutionary progress
than in all the millions of years before, thanks to Galileo, Newton,
Faraday, Ampere, Helmholtz, Curie, Plank, Einstein and other individual
giants in the arts and sciences.

[Case]
You really should take some time to study a bit about evolution before
commenting on it. To say that "evolution currently at the biological level
has little significance if indeed it is occurring at all" evinces a real
lack of understanding. Evolution operates at a different time scale. What
you suggest would be like watching a clock where it takes several thousand
tears for the second hand to tick and claiming the watch has stopped. You
should also know that the rapid pace of technological progress in recent
times is a direct function of the accumulation of collective human
knowledge. You are arguing against your own point and very effectively I
should add.
