I unreservedly second the nomination! Exceptionally well done, Heinrik! Good form! A very-much-needed reminder to all of us.

Re: Heinrik

Re: Heinrik
I concur with Heinrik. I don't think she means what you think she means with that post.

A nice series of messages about looking for teleology (ID?) in evolution. That is, looking for an adaption that anticipated the need rather than an adaption that was a response to a need.
Maybe (IMO) contenders for Posts of the Year!

He brings up the question of how a God could be proposed without the use of religious texts.
Maybe there are better posts, but this one grabbed my attention for some reason.

Re: Quetzal on Problems with Mutation
Seconded. I'd put through a link to a Matt Ridley article on the Red Queen hypothesis earlier in the thread yesterday, so it was fresh in my memory. Quetzal, in the spirit of EvC, explains it very well in his own words. Good informative post.
