I am — and have long been — very aware that darwinian evolutionism, from the beginning in 1859, speaks to chance variation [of various kinds] and environmental, probabilistically filtered culling of existing competing sub-populations [aka natural selection, etc]. |
IOW: "Yes, I've heard of selection."
But then, immediately thereafter (after a brief ad hominem detour): | Quote | | For, until one has a functional body plan — from the first one on — which is capable of self-replication, one cannot have competing populations. |
IOW: "I don't understand it at all, though."

Again "how much". I don't think that's a good way to be quantitative.-- gpuccio
