Quote (N.Wells @ Jan. 20 2016,20:05) | Gary, I'm assuming you like that statement ("The theory of intelligent design holds that certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause, not an undirected process such as natural selection") in part because you don't like natural selection. |
FYI: http://www.kurzweilai.net/forums....earning Quote | The "natural selection" generalization muddled their theory (natural selection produces nothing, only the genetic system produces biological designs) but they are on the right track. |
I might need to add a reply stating that from what I could read of the closed-access paper the authors did not include "natural selection" in the statement that the article paraphrased.
Relying on "natural selection" might still be popular with science news reporters and people like you but that's because you are unable to be specific, must instead generalize.
