It is in this sense guided by the environment, also a fact that is obvious to anyone working on evolution. That natural selection needs to be guided by anything beyond the environment and the resulting "selection pressure" to explain convergent evolution is just a product of your fantasy(March 14, 2014 at 11:04 am)Alex K Wrote: Are you joking? You think that similar circumstances leading to similar looking results of natural selection is somehow at odds with an atheistic worldview? That's wrong, and your charge that there is anything to hide is ridiculous.
Dawkins showed that an intellect can use evolution as a means to a specific end. He then called his demonstration a cheat. Why?
A)He believes natural evolution isn't guided by anything and thus not homing in on anything(which is clearly a blunder because it sometimes does home in on particular forms).
Quote:B)He realizes evolution is guided by a fitness paradigm but was concerned people would conclude God used this as a means of creation(contrary to an atheistic world view).How about no? You sound like a broken record. Your objection is unjustified.
