I looked up the slice bread ban thing, apparently it only lasted 3 months, and they justified it by saying sliced loaves needed thicker packaging to keep from drying out than whole loaves. It got to the point where they were threatening to take action against bakeries that had their own bread slicers, but they dropped the ban when they realized 1- this was causing needless hardship to people who had to slice over 20 pieces of bread in a hurry for families of 4 who needed breakfast toast and lunch sandwiches. 2- they weren’t really saving significant materials after all. and 3- this was a really stupid thing to try and enforce considering how thin they were stretched already.
In the past, it was believed falcons were more closely related to hawks and eagles. But the proliferation of DNA testing has resulted in many reclassifications and reassessments of how species are related, including now understanding that falcons are genetically related more closely to parrots. We can now use the same precise technology that establishes or refutes claims of paternity and exonerates or convicts the guilty to prove the relationships of species that confirm the reality of evolution as we see the long train of relationships from fish to amphibians to reptiles and birds and mammals.
This knowledge of genetics was unknown to Charles Darwin when he developed what was, originally, a brilliant hypothesis that explained observed phenomena (now proven fact by DNA, transitional fossils unknown to Darwin and laboratory controlled observations of mutations). Even Gregor Mendel’s famous studies of plant genetics at his Austrian monastery was not widely distributed until long after Darwin’s theory was first published.
It may seem brilliant to you but more and more scientist are rejecting evolution because it doesn’t align with the facts. Read Douglas Axe’s book, Undeniable
Sorry @Viperfuel60 but, no, I am not going to go chasing down every nonsensical rabbit hole. There are people today who are seriously denying even the most solidly-established scientific FACTS such as the spherical earth, heliocentric solar system, etc.
Douglas Axe is NOT a biochemist or even a biology. He is a CHEMICAL engineer with a degree from Cal Tech. It is not a place that does research in the life sciences; it is a tech center.
He is a FRAUD and he is utterly repudiated by serious biochemists who actually do real research in DNA evidence with utterly and totally proves evolution. He has a PRE-DETERMINED conclusion and looks for cherry-picked “evidence” to support his preconceptions rooted in theistic bias.
He does not “cast a huge shadow over evolution.” No shadow at all, except to those hiding from the light of science in the darkness of closets of their own making.

Was sliced bread banned because of the knife-making metal used to make ammunition and what-not?

But slicing the bread a home caused more problems than it solved – knife slipping, uneven slices etc.
