Re: Design Detection
Do you mean by "prove", proof in the mathematical sense? What if teleonomy* gave a logical structure that matched a cellullar automata class statistically ruled first by things NOT biologically subect to natural selection and enabled a human to construct an axiom system that futhermore logically connected the form of both the math(s) and the sorting of alternative alleles??

Teleonomy would not be a branch of the study of evolution. Its first concern with biological phenomenon would be to answer the question: "What is its function?"
