[Jerry Coyne] refers to [Charles Darwin]'s Earth-shattering realization that all life on Earth has evolved over time as "the greatest idea that anyone ever had," but notes that natural selection, the mechanism of that evolution, is "the most misunderstood part of Darwinism.
Evolution is a fact," Coyne writes, and "scientists have as much confidence in Darwinism as they do in the existence of atoms, or in microorganisms as the cause of infectious disease."
There are abundant holes in our knowledge, but certainly no need to resort to the "realm of the supernatural," or to what the late Stephen Jay Gould referred to as the "God of the gaps."

Every dry cleaner in Manitoba is using PERC (perchlorethylene/tetrachlorethylene) except us," said [Shane Johnston]. "It is taking off like crazy in the U.S. I just don't see any negatives.
Johnston said as well as the environmental benefits of DrySolv -- it requires less hot water (therefore less energy) to operate effectively, it is not an ozone-depleter, does not produce hazardous waste and is not a carcinogen -- it also isn't expensive to switch from one chemical to another. (It is likely to cost the company a little more than $3,000 to convert its three main dry cleaning units.)
Much of the PERC that gets into water or soil evaporates into the air. Microorganisms can break down some of the PERC in soil or underground water. In the air, it is broken down by sunlight into other ch...

Only 13 per cent of microorganisms in the water could have come from the digestive tract," [Denis Krause] said, which suggests agriculture is not a major contributor to the development of antibiotic resistance.
"There's some really good research being done here," said Juergen Schoppe, who runs a cattle and hay farm near Poplar Point with his wife Levina Cunningham.
