There entire shtick consists of arguments such as the one you present that mutations + natural selection and/or random genetic drift are inadequate to explain the diversity of life that we observe. This is nothing but an argument from ignorance. All the proponents of this nonsense have a religious agenda. The real scientists who do research on evolution have no such agenda regardless if they are atheists like Prof. Moran or theists like Ken Miller.<br /><br />The history of the scientific revolution demonstrates conclusively what Laplace said 200+ years ago. He had no need of the god hypothesis to explain the stability of the Solar System and evolutionary biologists have no need of the god hypothesis to explain the diversity of life.<br /><br />colnago80https://www.blogger.com/profile/02640567775340860582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37148773.post-60932663895036762912016-11-21T15:26:27.947-05:002016-11-21T15:26:27.947-05:00the experts i take reference of refute the claim t...<i>the experts i take reference of refute the claim that mere aleatorial mutations, and natural selection, explain biodiversity.</i><br /><br />That's because the people you take to be "experts" are only slighly less ignorant and stupid than you are.

I know I am. <br /><br />From what I gather the RSM neither provided an extension to Neo-Darwinian theory of evolution nor any novelty (mechanism) by which macroevolution could be explained. What are your thoughts on that? I'm very curious of your opinion as you seem to be one of very few people I know of who neither favours Darwinism nor creationism. <br />Please provide us with your feedback, if you can. <br /><br />Thanks. <br /><br />BTW: I have heard that one thing was establish amongst the majority @RSM; no God or gods are going to be implemented into the "Third Way Philosophy" shall we call it.Jasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00012083978513644307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37148773.post-51191844058585851782016-11-11T15:49:50.104-05:002016-11-11T15:49:50.104-05:00The last day marks the appropriate anthropic advan...The last day marks the appropriate anthropic advance over 'just naturalism'.

Physicists know who he is but he's almost unknown to the wider public. Even on the streets of Edinburgh (as the documentary demonstrated). In 1865 he published "A Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field". This predicted the existence of an electromagnetic field and electromagnetic waves. His equations actually predicted the speed of propagation of the electromagnetic field - 300,000 km/s. This matched the speed of light (which was known) and he concluded that light was an electromagnetic wave. It was twenty years later (after Maxwell's death) that Hertz detected electromagnetic waves outside the spectrum of light.<br />Einstein said he was the greatest physicist after Newton.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18245824732239901064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37148773.post-89354580226404301892016-10-25T21:00:35.732-04:002016-10-25T21:00:35.732-04:00Hoping you got my email too.
