Re: Not stopping, but slowing.
But errors in replication are the fundamental tool needed to evolve.
Errors are tools ?
Of course you are not using "tool" to mean its understood definition.
WK:
Isn't the age of the Earth really based upon the time needed for all the "errors" to produce what is seen today ? Of course you have no evidence of RM outside of logic asserting it must of happened or how else did everything get here.
As long as you have a system which imperfectly replicates with heritable traits you should see some form of natural selection working to favour those traits which improve replication frequency.
How does NS know to improve if it is not intelligent ?
Isn't NS simply the naturalist god ?
Isn't NS simply a euphemism for God ?
