I told you so

Thu, 11 Dec 1997 10:51:20 -0600I told you so about David Berlinski (DB). Every evolutionist feels compelled
to reply to his writings, looking for faults, for inconsistencies, for things
they can tore apart, etc, etc, etc. His writings are that good, as I said
yesterday, they have a way to the intellect and to the heart. I predict more
and more criticism forthcoming in this list until something else pops up
(which I predict it will be soon), something like the fossil record apparent
but very embarrasing incompleteness, or the moths evolving colors because of
L.A. smog, or a "new" phyla in the mouths of lobsters, or the discovery of a
new universe with a three-dimensional time frame and a one-dimensional space
frame, or something on the evolution of tensegritical biological structures
and buckyballs in microbiology, or about the new "antifractal" _deterministic_
Constructual Theory that explains tree-branching-like networks (this latter
would be an incredible and much needed improvement in topic). To make matters
more frivolous now somebody have decided to publish in the web a
paragraph-by-paragraph critique of DB's article (The Denying Darwin?) that
appeared in Commentary, if it were not enough with the 55+ pages of the
mano-a-mano of DB and his critics, published by the same magazine, and which
can also be found on the web. I can only take so much sugar in my coffee.
The reality is, well, I have to say, depressing --- we are all gonna be well
dead by the time all this nonsense comes to an end, if ever.
