...Try to wrap your mind around the concept that evolvability evolves by natural selection. On second thought, don’t. It’s not conducive to mental health. Valuing charity, I try to approach...
The Stuff Happens Law enters quantum physics, where it also achieves nothing worth knowing The Stuff Happens Law (our term for Natural Selection, Charley Darwin’s prize vacuity) is the...
...came back, “Yes, that’s correct. Without genetic variation that affects survival and reproduction, there can be no evolution by natural selection, as there’s nothing for natural selection to act upon.”[5]...

...selection: i.e., prolonging the lives of those with genetic defects is harming the species. Judson points out that “…well, more natural selection equals more death, which is hardly something to...
...Nature Genetics. There is too much play and too little known to assert the conclusion. Each step has to provide a survival advantage for natural selection to preserve a change....
...reproducing “after their kind.” For another thing, CET criticizes natural selection as a mystical idea. Finally, the CET model is built on intelligent design and on Genesis. Adaptation was part...

...and complexity of life are unquestionable. Natural selection, however, is not a powerful force. It is not a force at all. Whoever believes natural selection can create life and evolve...
...about what “must have been” is not science. Do either of you have any idea of how many lucky mutations it would take to “evolve” a dinosaur by natural selection?...
...There is no intelligence or power in mutations or natural selection to organize thousands of left-handed amino acids in the precise order required to produce biological steel, let alone to...

...burning coal. This is not natural selection; it is old-fashioned artificial selection, like dog breeding, to accentuate characters through intelligent design. Using the phrase survival of the fittest is misleading...
