A quiet classic exposing darwinism nearly a generation ago in the 90’s: this book must leave us with the suspicion that biologists already know the ‘Paradigm’ is bunk but conform …

This is a good example of the way darwinian assumptions confuse scientists and lead to wrong conclusions. The statistical problems of natural selection have long since discredited straight darwinism, and we have grounds for rejecting that theory, concluding nothing on that score about intelligent life in the universe.
It would seem suspicious: intelligent life is abundant in the universe because life in emergence is not random.
It is almost incredible that this kind of nonsense goes unchallenged: most scientists are too intimidated to speak out
Humans evolved through a series of highly unlikely events – so finding another intelligence like us would be like winning the lottery many times over.

The front lines of the evolution debate lie in the schools, but just here the whole confusion of darwinism and natural selection enters to compromise the confrontation with creationists and the large public that finds ‘evolution’ a stumbling block. As far as can be determined from this article the standard darwinian scenarios is preached with darwinism and evolution collated.
There is a simple way out here: simply teach the factual and empirical history of evolution but remain open about the mechanisms and skip trying to sneak in natural selection.
The fallacies of natural selection have confused generations of students whose grasp of statistics is compromised for good. Hardly educational…
The challenge to darwinism has been there all along buried by the establishment writers and academics. The question is confused by the issue of intelligent design, but its proponents have at least produced a lot of criticism of darwinism that is sometimes useful. Continue reading ” Dissent over darwinism is entering mainstream…so long to marxism’s darwin dogma, natural selection and class struggle, etc…”
It is puzzling to see how propaganda so easily ensnared the left on the subject of ‘evolution’. Debriefing natural selection is actually so easy that the result has been the demolition of darwinism by amateurs, while the darwin establishment continues in ignorance, or knowing deception…
That natural selection not only can’t produce ‘evolution’ but can actually ‘undo’ it by degrading complexity (if that is what Behe is saying in his new book) should be…
Source: How is it biologists let the religious right eat their lunch?? – Darwiniana
The religious right has taken over the older critique of darwinism but turned it into a subtle form of apologetics, although the ID camp as such has tried to observe a scientific neutrality.
This critique of darwinism, which was originally a scientific one (cf. figures such as Fred Hoyle), focused on the issue of natural selection has become football for the religious right.
In the process, notably here, the whole range of issues is scrambled with right wind climate denial, a stance that throws the whole scientific pretense of these groups in doubt.
Time for the left to take over the critique of darwinism, exposing its social darwinist ideology, and freeing it from any nonsense of about other conservative issues, e.g. climate change which has nothing whatsoever to do with the evolution issue.
Noone has as yet produced a true theory of evolution, so an empirical study set with critiques would do the left nicely…

We have repeatedly tried to expose the foundation of the social darwinist ideology at the core of darwinism. The left has consistently hedged here by blaming social darwinism on something else than the basic theory of natural selection. We need hardly wonder why the debate over evolution has been so protracted: powerful economic interests maintain the ideological illusion of darwinism…(as the left fumbles the ball in compliance) Continue reading ” Persistent darwinism? an ideology of the elites…”
