Life On Earth Is More Like A

To Me, The Human Move To Take Responsibility For The Living Earth Is Laughable - The Rhetoric Of The Powerless. The Planet Takes Care Of Us, Not We Of It.

Neo-darwinian Language And Conceptual Structure Itself Ensures Scientific Failure: Major Questions Posed By Zoologists Cannot Be Answered From Inside The Neo-darwinian Straitjacket. Such Questions Include, For Example, 'how Do New Structures Arise In Evolution?' 'why, Given So Much Environmental Change, Is Stasis So Prevalent In Evolution As Seen In The Fossil Record?' 'how Did One Group Of Organisms Or Set Of Macromolecules Evolve From Another?' The Importance Of These Questions Is Not At Issue; It Is Just That Neo-darwinians, Restricted By Their Resuppositions, Cannot Answer Them.
