But one commentator, criticising the rest of the media for missing
‘the most basic, the most important consequence
of mapping out all of our genes’
wrote under the headline of ‘Darwin vindicated!’:
‘The genome reveals, indisputably and beyond any serious doubt,
that Darwin was right --
mankind evolved over a long period of time from primitive animal ancestors.’
And just to make sure that no-one would miss his real message, he continued:
‘Our genes show that scientific creationism cannot be true.
The response to all those who thump their bible [sic]
and say there is no proof, no test and no evidence in support of evolution is,
“The proof is right here, in our genes.”
There is, as the scientists who cracked the genome all agreed,
no other possible explanation.
The theory of evolution is the only way to explain the arrangement
of the 30,000 genes and three billion letters that constitute our genetic code.
Those who dismiss evolution as myth,
who insist that evolution has no place in biology textbooks
and our children’s classrooms, are wrong.’
