> DAVID: [i]It is best to abandon Darwin's theory of evolution, because staying with his presumptions slows real research.[/i] > > dhw: [i]It is best not to abandon a whole theory because you disagree with a part of that theory. I agree that it is best to abandon Darwin’s theory that evolution only proceeds gradually and nature does not make jumps. Even his "bulldog" Huxley disagreed with him, so what's new?[/i] > > DAVID: [i]All that is left of Darwin is some form of common descent, and Tony disagrees with that.[/i] > > And you disagree with Tony, because you also believe in common descent. The dispute concerns how evolution works. You believe in a divine 3.8-billion-year-old computer programme plus dabbling; Darwin believed in random mutations and gradualism; Huxley rejected gradualism and Gould proposed punctuated equilibrium; I hypothesize cellular intelligence. None of us have abandoned the bedrock of Darwin’s theory, which is common descent.
