g- You are being dim. (That’s OK, please read on) Life forms have evolved. I can prove it. I am reasonably certain that humans have not been around since the beginning of life forms- I like humans- evolution is good. I have not questioned the fact of evolution, or if it is good or bad, I am saying that the observed instances of evolution do not fit well with the current theory as espoused by Dennett, Dawkins and Eliezer in this post. (Or any other current theory that I am aware of...)
Dennett claims that “gradualism” (which is the logical premise behind the TOE that he is espousing) is “the universal solvent” In otherwords it can be used to solve any problem.
Check the web address I gave TGGP- the book Quantum Evolution by Joejohn Mcfadden has the simplest and most direct explanation of the problem that TB evolution poses for both neo-darwinism and mankind.
By the way, the existence of ‘competent cells’ has been recognized for years. To say they evolve by random mutation is to not recognize their existence. To say their existence is due to natural selection is not compatable with the data. Gradual is not how they mutate when presented with a stessor- that’s where the competent comes from in the name.
To suggest that this phenomena occurs in multi-cellular life forms as well as single celled organisms...that’s my prediction. (I’m unaware if this has been observed yet) Wanta bet I’m right? How much?
