| Quote (VMartin @ July 13 2007,17:41) | Behe obviously doesn't believe in random mutation as the source of evolutionary novelties. If he believes in frontloading I don't know. But what may be of interest is John Davison's comment about the latest Dawkins critique of Behe's book in the New York Times.

Columnist Richard Dawkins published his view on evolution and Behe's book in the NYT.
I am surprised by Dawkins arguments - Darwinism is a science because of "Ronald Fisher, Sewall Wright, J. B. S. Haldane, Theodosius Dobzhansky, Richard Lewontin, John Maynard Smith and hundreds of their talented co-workers and intellectual descendants." But Fisher's arguments against Punnet's conception of saltationism of butterfly mimicry he didn't mention. Somebody could check them, you know.
Dawkins picked up dogs to show that random mutation is responsible for their diversity. I would like to see if Dawkins is able to domesticate also lizards or tigers, hehe. Obviously in those species is random mutation somehow frozen. |
VMartin, could you tell us why evolution stopped and who stopped it?
Otherwise, go away. The grownups are trying to have a conversation.
