Richard Lewontin is mentioned in the article. From reading the wiki-link, he makes an interesting point I have often considered in discussions here, particularly on the lack of new phyla emerging, which is the idea that niches are not somehow a limited set but rather a dynamic creation, assuming common descent of course (which I do not but for sake of discussion).
This is pure nonsense. Lewontin does not claim problems with evolution because of lack new phyla emerging. This was explained to you months ago.
The article (along with the debate between science) talks about what degree evolutionary processes play in evolution.

Personally, I don't object to some aspects of evolution on religious grounds but simply because it's not factual.
You are clearly unqualified to object to any aspects of evolution as you can't seem to even wrap your head around why "new phyla aren't emerging". Let's face it, you have no idea what you are talking about and your rejection of evolution is clearly not on scientific grounds.

Should new evidence or improved insight emerge from this meeting, I assume that scientists will adjust theory in whatever ways necessary to keep it congruent with our new understanding of reality.
None of the evidences talked about in the article are new. I think the possible restructuring of evolutionary theory is not to incorporate new ideas as it is so much to reorder the role played by already known ideas.
