She said that most people she knows who accept the Theory of Evolution ignore "large holes" in it. Now, that may be, and those holes may exist. However, in my experience, most "large holes" mentioned are not, actually, large holes at all - or rather, they're holes in the knowledge of the questioner.
I'm hardly a biologist. However, if you post any complaints you have with evolutionary theory, with one exception... no, two exceptions, I'll gladly start running around to see if I can find answers. Or maybe one of my other friends can answer the problem.
The two exceptions are as follows:
1. I'm not answering that damn chicken or egg question, or any transparent version of it.
2. I'm not answering any question that has to do with the creation of the universe, or the beginning of life. If you say "See, this means there must be a designer", I'll quietly sigh, because the only response to that is "Well, who designed the designer", and before you know it we're having the second-silliest flamefest in history. There might very well have been some sort of original creator(s) or designer(s). I don't know, I don't care, that's onen puzzle we're never getting to the bottom of.

Btw, I don't find the term "Jew" offensive-sounding. It may be a matter of in which contexts you most often hear it.
