Appeal to the failure of Windows 8 to improve itself.

"if you have information that is copied with variation and selection then you must get (as Dan Dennett p50 puts it) 'Design out of chaos without the aid of mind'."

This, I see, as the first tenet of neo-Darwinism. If this statement is true, then neo-Darwinism is very credible. If this statement is false, then neo-Darwinism is, well, wrong.

As a software developer, I would love to see software that results from a world where this statement is true. We have information. Every time a piece of data is loaded off of a hard drive, and into active memory, we have duplication. All too often we have computers making copy errors — much more so 30 years ago than today. We even have selection, it is called "operators cursing computers". Yet with these three principles plugged together, the only improvement we have seen is that the intelligent designers have worked really hard to reduce copy errors.



Stick that in your analogy pipe and smoke it, evolutionists!

Fucking software developers. (Hang on, I'm a software developer!). Tierra? Avida? Eureka? What in hell are they then, if not successfully replicated with random errors? I hope he's not really entitled to use 'Dr' - it would be twattish in the extreme to include it in a webbyname if so.

I hope he's really a moose.

A Møøse once bit my sister...

I've heard those can be pretty nasti...

Who trained the moose?

FTK: I Didn't answer your questions because it beats the hell out of me.

PaV: I suppose for me to be pried away from what I do to focus long and hard on that particular problem would take, quite honestly, hundreds of thousands of dollars to begin to pique my interest.
