Otangelo, do you agree with everything that gordo (kairosfocus) said on that page? Do you agree with everything that he says on his other pages on his blogs and at UD? If there is anything that you disagree with, what is it? |
what i have posted, is all i have read of his website. |

ah, i have read this as well, which i fully agree with :
For a working biological system to be built by exaptation , the five following conditions would all have to be met:
C1: Availability. Among the parts available for recruitment to form the system, there would need to be ones capable of performing the highly specialized tasks of individual parts, even though all of these items serve some other function or no function.
C2: Synchronization. The availability of these parts would have to be synchronized so that at some point, either individually or in combination, they are all available at the same time.
C3: Localization. The selected parts must all be made available at the same ‘construction site,’ perhaps not simultaneously but certainly at the time they are needed.
C4: Coordination. The parts must be coordinated in just the right way: even if all of the parts of a system are available at the right time, it is clear that the majority of ways of assembling them will be non-functional or irrelevant.
C5: Interface compatibility. The parts must be mutually compatible, that is, ‘well-matched’ and capable of properly ‘interacting’: even if sub systems or parts are put together in the right order, they also need to interface correctly.

this is a major problem for proponents of macro evolution
