Richard Dawkins writes:
It is absolutely safe to say that, if you meet somebody who claims not to believe in evolution, that person is ignorant, stupid or insane (or wicked, but I'd rather not consider that).
Natural selection allowed cognitive selection to emerge.
Cognitive selection has applications outside and beyond that of just biology.
Science itself and the gathering of knowledge "evolves" by descent with modification and by means of cognitive selection.
It is a fact that we pass on down through generations more than just our genes.
The process of science evolving and the process of Darwinian/biological evolution are both related, both types of ''evolution'' operating on different levels.
Natural selection, nature doing the choosing is largely unconscious subconscious.
Cognitive selection, consciously choosing.
So. If 'Cognitive selection' is related to 'Natural selection' and selection itself moves, advances, evolves then IMO Darwinian/biological evolution = fact. [albeit through the sidedoor.]
Paul.
If the bb started a single process, and that single process = "evolution" then "selection" has moved from the non-conscious to the unconscious, subconscious, conscious state.
