...work of Dr. Lars Olov Bygren in epigenetics referenced in your article would seem to nullify one of the icons of Darwinian evolution, Darwin's finches. Darwin noted that the bill length of finches changed depending on environmental conditions. Darwin explained this by natural selection. Other scientists have noticed that the bill lengths of those finches return to normal when conditions return to normal. Sounds like epigenetics and not Darwinian evolution. Darwin skeptics tend to agree that organisms can adapt (or evolve) within certain boundaries, but such organisms do not evolve into new species. Bygren's study of epigenetics would...

Other important developments in prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment also occurred in the 1980s, says Dr. Nicholas Vogelzang, chair and medical director of developmental therapeutics at US Oncology, a cancer-services company. Better biopsy techniques and drug treatments emerged, making castration and use of estrogens, the most common therapies for prostate tumors, almost obsolete. Such advances may have contributed to the drop off in suicides seen in the post-PSA era.

In fact, there is no “elementary, my dear Watson” moment in this film. Though Holmes is clearly ahead of the intellectual curve, Watson is self-confident and able to hold...
