| Quote (Constant Mews @ Oct. 13 2009,19:51) | It might be more accurate to say that evolutionary theory specifies no measurable teleological goal. Given perfect information, we could predict precisely what evolution would produce.
Even the use of terminology like "purpose" and "goal" confuses the issue; by direct measurement, most evolution has no testable teleological component (we must exclude stock-keeping and breeding from this consideration, though these are also examples of evolution). |
One of the issues that I think makes evolution so difficult is that there are so many "moving parts" to it. Not only would we need perfect information, we'd also need to control all the variables in the natural selection process.
What I'd like to see from a creationist is them to describe the exact path and the groves it creates in the sand when they pour water down a sandy embankment. After all, it's simple fluid dynamics, gravity and particle dynamics, right? With that, they should be able to predict how the water flows and the grooves left in the sand, right?
