With Ted I also read Aristotle as holding the fixity of species. I've not
had a chance to challenge a YEC like Gary Parker when he claims that "The
Greeks believed in evolution."
Ted comments:
Well, some Greeks (and Romans) did propose an evolutionary scheme, in some
cases strikingly similar to Darwin's ideas. Empedocles is an example.
Lucretius affirmed a purely random, naturalistic way to produce living
things by natural selection. Darwin had nothing on him except more
evidence.
