Keeping for posterity, from the "Gene duplication not usually a source of biochemical innovation?" post.
Neil Rickert
| Quote | Let me see if I understand this.
James Shapiro refutes Darwinism, with his novel approach to evolution based on natural genetic engineering. And gene duplication is part of the evidence Shapiro uses to support his ideas of natural engineering.
Bozorgmehr says that gene duplication doesn’t do anything useful, and that refutes Darwinism.
It seems that if gene duplication is important, then Darwinism is refuted, whereas if it isn’t important, then Darwinism is refuted. Maybe you can have your cake and eat it too.
