Re: Punctuated Equilibrium according to Darwin and Falconer
quote:
The matter being discussed was whether PE introduction itself was evidence that the whole matter is a subject of history and not a subject controled by the scientific method. And so not science. Very different.
Eh? Do you mean that something is not science if new data arises?
That makes no sense. any given theory exists in a real world in whcih time necessarily passes and new data becomes available. The incorporation of new data, or the falsification of historical data by new data, is not outside the bounds of the sicentific method.
