In the book - = “The Blind Watchmaker” Richard Dawkins demonstrated that natural selection requires intelligence; thereby completely invalidating the theory.
He uses a computer program to generate the Shakespeare phase “Me thinks it is like a weasel” to simulate how random mutations and natural selection could generate new functional information. His method: 1) randomized the generation of English letter sets (strings). 2) compare each string to the target phase “me think….”. 3) kept the strings that most closely resembled the target (usually, at this stage not exactly the target). 4) have the program generate variant version of the newly selected strings (so now the selected strings are closer to the target strings). 5) process is repeated until the selected strings match the target strings.
So in the end, he shows us that in his simulation that an intelligence is guiding towards an end point using preplanned incremental steps and instructions, and employing newly acquired information to reach a predetermined target. But of course natural selection by definition is neither guided nor given information about a desired outcome to be generated in the future.
Have you noticed that after God ‘rested’ from creation that anatomically modern homo sapient (AMHS)- Adam type- hasn’t “evol-nated”?
