Controversial article

Why is his article on chemical terrorism considered controversial? Is it because some people said it gives away too much information to potential terrorists? The point of controversy should be mentioned in the article. Thanks. Steve Dufour 17:04, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Most probably the title: "Better Killing Through Chemistry" either led some to believe he was advocating chemical warfare, ot that he was being insensitive. Unfortunately this statement is unsourced, so we can't find out. Hrafn42 17:38, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Micro-Evolution and Macro-Evolution

The article states:

Tour's field of organic chemistry is unrelated to evolutionary biology.

The field of organic chemistry is related to micro-evolution. Darwin's mechanism applies to macro-evolution (descent with modification of living species). The parallel field of micro-evolution applies to processes operating at the molecular level by which organic molecules change. Darwin's mechanism assumes and depends on micro-evolution, but doesn't encompass or subsume it, model it, or explain it. Moulton 22:50, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
