After we've disposed of your "mechanism", NS, [that is,either you make science out of it, or you discard it as a load of pretentious bafflegab, or you quit in frustration]then maybe I'll tell you my mechanism. Hint-- lamarckism was its scientific ancestor, and its philosophical roots go all the way back to Heraklitus. And that is all I'm going to say until you deal satisfactorily [as far as I'm concerned] with "NS". That is, when you demonstrate reasonably that natural selection is more than an inane 'catch-phrase'--the 'scientific' equivalent of a bumper-sticker.
Please let the moderators handle moderation issues while you devote your energies to engaging the topic. If you feel the
Forum Guidelines are being in some way violated please post to the
General Discussion Of Moderation Procedures 14.0 thread.
While you declare that you've "disposed of your 'mechanism', NS", it appears to this moderator that this thread is still in mid-discussion. Requests that you introduce your counterproposal seem reasonable.
