Darwinian Fundamentalism
"A self-styled form of Darwinian fundamentalism has risen to some prominence in a variety of fields, from the English biological heartland of John Maynard Smith to the uncompromising ideology (albeit in graceful prose) of his compatriot Richard Dawkins, to the equally narrow and more ponderous writing of the American philosopher Daniel Dennett . . . . - Stephen Jay Gould, "Darwinian Fundamentalism," The New York Review of Books.

About Me
- Name: Lawrence Selden
I am a macroevolution agnostic. I used to accept evolutionary theory. Then I looked at the evidence. It became clear to me that macroevolutionary theory is built more on a priori philosophical assumptions than on evidence. Microevolution, on the other hand, is supported by the evidence. The distinction between the two is critical and is largely ignored, or not understood, by the mainstream media and general public.

Eloquent!
Tom,
Thanks! One of my best posts ever, I think, if I do say so myself!
Lawrence,
Next time, please use a spell checker. Your article is filled with mistakes! Clearly, you haven't evolved far enough.
I've heard of an emperor who has no clothes, but who ever heard of a news article that has no words or pictures?
Is this the article that Cornelia Dean wrote about the denial of tenure to Gonzalez?
Some origin-of-life researchers told me that this blog entry would evolve into a Tolstoy book if the conditions were just right and we waited long enough.
Waiting...
Waiting...
(etc.)
Where is the post? I don't see it...
