Denyse styles herself an observer and reporter of sciency-sounding thingies, so in her universe that means she knows everything about all kinds of science. So of course she’s fallen for the supreme pseudoscience of intelligent design creationism, and happily parrots all manner of stuff she hears from other pseudoscience experts like Casey Luskin.

Comment over at Uncommon Descent, this time from the mathematician Granville Sewell:

No one has even mentioned the most important difference between dog breeding and Darwin’s mechanism. Breeders don’t rely on mutations, ie, accidents, they select traits already present in the gene pool.

Granville, Granville, Granville. Where do you think those traits came from? You know, the ones that differentiate a wolf from a, oh I don't know, wolfhound.

Comment over at Uncommon Descent:

But seriously, those greyhounds look so dainty, I wouldn’t count on one being able to dispatch anything larger than a fieldmouse.

Yes – not all wild canids eat bison – or even deer.
