Entry: What's So Scary About Evolution?--For Both Left and Right, a Lot Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/whats_so_scarry_about_evolution#27223 Post contents: @Derb Good stuff, don't mind the fascists and the theocons in the comments. You didn't write for them anyway. Sid is wrong, and so is Theodore van Osbree "Mr. Cundiff is quite correct.Darwinism is a pre-modern scientific theory advanced in a state of fundamental ignorance. For instance, the staggering complexity of the cell was completely unknown to Darwin. Yeah, but without Darwin, I doubt Watson & Crick would have come very far. Actually, watch EO Wilson & Watson discuss this very issue at Charley Rose here. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6927851714963534233 "Furthermore, Darwinism is irrelevant to most sciences - the empirical work of science would continue regadless of the philosophical assumptions of its practitioners." Completely false. Darwin's notion 'survival of the fittest' even left a mark on economics. Sid, I like your passion, but there are times when you sound like one of the least enlightened people on the planet -- and no, that's not a complement. Your sense of selfrighteousness is completely over-the-top. My mother always told me this: don't talk too much about stuff you feel too strongly about, it makes you say stupid things. Wise woman.
