Kristine you are witty.

Anyway there is no need for John Davison to explain his view outlined in Manifesto.
All that he has written there seems to be correct. First I was struck by his claim (or better his citation of Broom) that evolution is finished. Brooms claim:
| Quote |
In Eocene times -- say between 50,000,000 and 30,000,000 years ago -- small primitive mammals rather suddenly gave rise to over a dozen very different Orders -- hoofed animals, odd-toed and even-toed, elephants, carnivores, whales, rodents, bats and monkeys. And after this there were no more Orders of mammals ever evolved. There were great varieties of evolution in the Orders that had appeared, but strangely enough Nature seemed incapable of forming any more new Orders...
(1951), page 107

I checked it in modern sources and I found this:
| Quote |
"..i.e., euprimates: lemurs, tarsiers, monkeys, and apes) and Perissodactyla (odd-toed ungulates such as horses, tapirs, and rhinos)-also appeared abruptly and in abundance in early Eocene Holarctic deposits, with little indication of their ancestry."
|
Darwinists to defend their views use a claim that "the mammalian Orders" is a human invention and in fact such division does not exist in Nature (its btw old philosophical dispute between nominalism vs. realism). Anyway its hardly to believe that mammalian families are also the human invention. Yet:
| Quote |
"A number of mammal orders show peaks of family diversityaround the Eocene-Oligocene boundary, such as Soricomorpha, Rodentia, Primates, Artiodactyla and Proboscidea."
|
| Quote |
The great diversity of Holarctic primates during the
Eocene indicates that at least 90% of modern diversity
would already have been reached by the Middle Eocene.
|
| Quote |
Perissodactyls were once much more diverse...Only seventeen species of perissodactyls remain on the Earth today, a shadow of the group's former glory.

and much much more that supports Brooms and John Davisons conclusion that evolution is finished.
John Davison need not search sources that support his claims. Internet is full of them. Just check it yourself.

And you as a perfect woman might know that according Heidegger poets are pillars on which the history stands. So I would not ridicule prominent writers as Nietzsche or Nabokov who ridiculed darwinism. Their views have certainly more to do with intuition but good Art is much more closed to the truth as science.
I am only surprised that the greatest writer of modern era Fyodor Dostoevsky did not adressed problem of darwinism. He as a pneumatolog (he was no way "psycholog" as is common view) adressed atheistic and communist thinking in his novel The Possessed.
Why he did not addressed darwinism at all I do not know.

Since you seem to be so tight with JAD (sorta like Bruce Wayne is to Batman) maybe you can post this over at ISCID for me.
