Well, if it's not creationism, it's at least teleology, which isn't very far.

The main arguments George Olshevsky puts up front for his theory are that a ground-based evolution is "unlikely" and that he "doesn't believe" it's possible on any time scale (I am grossly paraphrasing and simplifying).

There is no real positive, evidence-supported claims for his reasoning. At best he is trying to open the way to a new classification system, based on nothing solid whatsoever. At worst, he's a closet creationist.

One way or the other, the only thing he's achieving right now is feeding the AIG nonsense.

I don't call that science...
