"I believe the time has come for ID proponents to be actively contributing to important research areas."
Ralph SeelkeB.S. from Clemson University, 1973. Graduate school at the U. of Minnesota and the Mayo Graduate School of Medicine, with a Ph.D. in microbiology in 1981. His research currently focuses on putting evolutionary theory on a firmer experimental footing. To do this, he have taken advantage of the most well-studied organism on earth - the colon bacterium Escherichia coli. His objective is to follow the evolution of E. coli for thousands of generations, asking very specific questions about its ability to evolve new functions. In the lab he grows this bacteria each day, and then transfers 1% of the population to new growth medium the following day. In this manner, he can observe 6.64 generations of evolution each day, over 46 generations per week, almost 200 generations per month, and over 2,400 generations in a year. In 10 years, using this method, he has been able to follow the evolution of a culture for over 20,000 generations, the human equivalent of over 600,000 years of evolution.Home page at UW Superior (now retired) - see attached DOC files for his views
