<<Second, he cites evolutionary biologist Theodore Dobzhansky on the weird way mutations seem to occur before they are actually needed by the Darwinian process: What this suggests is a kind of preadaptation, with the species being armed far in advance for some crisis it will meet in the future….But this is the kind of providence that might suggest to our total awareness an inscrutable purpose.>> Actually, that's exactly what "EVO-DEVO" is all about: Message 26578823 I've posted about 5 books on the topic over the past couple years... they ALL deal with the EXACT issue noted by the author might want to get one... and forward it to him :)) The THIRD objection is REAL interesting (even if unimportant to the issue he claimed... let me now if you understand why it obviates evolution?) and is delt with by ANOTHER source that you and SPECIFICALLY "Pope Greg" refuses to read about and seem totally ignorant of: <<Third, as an “insuperable” obstacle to believing in Darwinism, he notes “the mystery of the origin of language.” Human language is inescapably metaphorical, whereby things are designated by verbal symbols. But the intervening symbol “detaches the word from the thing.” How could a naturalistic evolutionary scheme, that can get a grip only on physical things, produce a language of non-material symbols and metaphors?>> ""The Tao that can be named is not the eternal Tao. The Name that can be named is not the eternal name. The nameless is the beginning of Heaven and Earth. the named is the mother of all things." This topic sent Pope Greg into one of his famous "circular mental patterns"... LOL! DAK
