PrincipleOfNaturalSelection1a

  • Humphreys: "... NS is a conjuring trick..."
  • Gould: ".... the mind consists of illusions ..."
  • Timberwoof: "... NS is a handy label ... and refuse to proceed to any deeper understanding..."
  • Harshman1:"... NS is a cause ...."
  • Harshman2:".... NS is an effect ...."
  • Harshman3:".... NS can be both a cause or an effect...."
  • Harshman4:".... ToE is difficult to define ...."
  • Dawkins: "... NS produced everything in the universe and precedes design but I can't prove it but believe it ..."
  • Chomsky1: "... saying that NS produces something is extremely sloppy language...."
  • Chomsky2: " .... NS can't explain where language came from ...."
  • Pinker: ".... NS is all we have what other explanation could there be ...."
  • Darwin:"... NS is a force incessantly ready for action ....."
  • ChrisColbyPragmatics: "... NS can only be an effect ..." What is the cause then ?
  • Wilkins:".... ordinary language is not suited to discussing selection in evolution ..."
  • BerlinskiPragmatics: "... NS as some sort of universal mechanism is just as impossible as a single differential equation explaining all of physics...."
  • JerryCoynePragmatics: "....Humans are the product of non-random NS ...."
  • Coyne1: ".... NS produces order ...."
  • Fox priest Johnathin:".... NS is random ...."
  • GordonRattrayTaylorPragmatics:"... NS is random ..."
  • KingsolverOnNaturalSelection: ".... it explains everything ..."
  • BerlinksiPragmatics: ".... theories that explain everything explain nothing, their control of the facts is an illusion..."
  • KennethMillerPragmatics: "....with natural selection pushing or pulling or splitting, species can change over time. ...." Thus NS actually does something and it is a cause ?
  • Miller2: "....natural selection does have to work gradually.." Is NS a cause or an effect ?
  • Miller3: "...NS is blind...." Why is NS never stupid ?
  • WilliamProvinePragmatics:"...Natural selection does not act on anything..."
  • Williamprovine1:"...It doesn't select for or against nor pull or push anything. Natural selection does nothing..."
  • SparkNotesPragmatics:"...As far as NS is concerned survival alone isn't enough..." Says who ?
  • MarcelSchtutz:"....stability is a necessary condition for the existence of NS ..."
  • PzMyersPragmatics:"..We are not dealing with "Darwin's theory" anymore....It was a preliminary proposal published in 1859.."
  • KermitPragmatics:"...Current ideas do not depend on how Darwin used or defined terms...."
  • HersheyPragmatics:"... RS2-RS1 = NS ..."
  • KampisPragmatics:".... Darwinism is not defined ...."
  • RusePragmatics:".... Darwinism is the mechanism accepted by 90% of evolutionists ...."
