OK ... ENOUGH FUNNY STUFF ... BACK TO BUSINESS
Russell ... | Quote | Afdave seems to assume a model where ...
the Transmitter = God,
the Message = an hypothetical original "uncorrupted" genetic sequence
the Communication Channel = multiple rounds of replication, and
the Receiver = modern existing organisms
These assumptions are not shared by modern science, or anyone on this board, so far as I can tell. |
Yup. That's pretty much it. I will note that this view WAS shared by most of the founders of modern science, IS shared by a significant and growing minority of current scientists, and (if AIG's explosive growth is any indicator) WILL BE shared my a majority of scientists in 10 years? 20 years? 50 years?
Now, just so we are all on the same page (ha ha), let us lay out the ToE model in the same format ...
the Transmitter = The Blind Gunman ... er, sorry ... Watchmaker
the Message = "Survive, baby! Reproduce! Get more complex if you can!" (help me out here, guys)
the Communication Channel = multiple rounds of replication, and
the Receiver = modern existing organisms
I'm quite sure I don't have this quite right and far be it from me to misrepresent ToE, so please ... help me out here.
See you tomorrow for some more fun and games!
