Sorry, I don’t follow this – how does information cause creatures to come into existence? “In the Beginning was the Word, and the Word was Information”?
Sorry, I got carried away. Anyway, I’m afraid I don’t understand what you mean by information being a sufficient explanation – something very different to what I was thinking?
The point is that we should let the fossil record itself speak to its own completeness, rather than using Darwinism to tell us what is missing.
Here is a nice post that provides a back-of-an-envelope calculation which suggests that there might still be a lot of fossils to find. It doesn’t use any evolutionary theory. |
Is that a reference to logos theory I see there?
