Merge or not to merge

Seeing as how we can expect that there will be many more HAR genes, I'd vote not to merge. In the end, these genes will most likely have a lot more to be said about them! InvictaHOG 10:12, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Seems there are 202 HARs now instead of 49

Darwin's Theory of Evolution?

This makes no sense from the article standpoint because it is implying darwin's theory of evolution is fact via usage of the word "evolution"...evolution is a theory, not a fact. It's not the end all be all, and this article, of all, should portray such an element as separate. Why not state there would have to have been 18 out of 83 gene mutations, instead of saying that we magically evolved in 6 million years from stuff that didn't evolve for 300 million years. I am definitely not a scientist, but you can't post facts without putting it into perspective of all potential theories or none at all. We don't have enough facts to turn evolution into a law. I pose a request for people to stop using it (and other theories) as a law to describe other things which are facts. Theories can never be used to define laws or truths (ok, maybe this might work somewhere, but definitely not here). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.108.3.103 (talk) 06:51, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

This sort of question has been dealt with in detail many times elsewhere, eg. here. --Paul (talk) 18:58, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
