I don't want to get into the thick of this because
it's not my favorite topic but here goes my big
mouth:
Morphology- remember that word. This is the great
unexplored region of life's development that will
one day explode in the collective faces of both
creationists and evolutionists. There is no
concrete, coherent explanation for how things
grow and develop - not a million years ago, I
mean right now! Why an arm out of your shoulder
and not a leg? Why an arm at all?
Read all of Rupert Sheldrake's books. Scientists
have treated this problem like it was an ice cube
when the reality is an ICEBERG.
For creationists it means looking at God as a
great machine, a miracle producing mechanism.
For evolutionists, it means giving up trying to
reduce life's development down to simple, local
rules, with randomness pushing the whole thing
along.
The current ideas about life's origins are too
simplistic and silly to survive very long into
the next century.
