Odd arrangements and funny solutions are the proof of evolution - paths that a sensible God would never tread but that a natural process, constrained by history, follows perforce.

I can envision observations and experiments that would disprove any evolutionary theory I know.

Misunderstanding of probability may be the greatest of all impediments to scientific literacy.
