Stephen Jay Gould agentsevolutionkeys The consciousness of lucid dreaming is a cultural evolution. It's something that we are talking about and learning about, not biological evolution. Stephen LaBerge evolutiondreamtalking Creationist critics often charge that evolution cannot be tested, and therefore cannot be viewed as a properly scientific subject at all. This claim is rhetorical nonsense. Stephen Jay Gould nonsenseevolutionreligion For Dawkins, evolution is a battle among genes, each seeking to make more copies of itself. Bodies are merely the places where genes aggregate for a time. Stephen Jay Gould battleevolutionbody The proof of evolution lies in those adaptations that arise from improbable foundations. Stephen Jay Gould foundationevolutionlying Darwin's principle of natural selection leads to the prediction that the proper way to analyze any evolutionary development is to see the new features as adaptive to environments. And that's a perfectly good principle. The problem is that there are many evolutionary biologists who view everything that happens in evolution as directly evolved for adaptive benefit. And that just doesn't work. Whenever you build a structure for adaptive reasons, the structure is going to exhibit properties that have nothing to do with adaptation. They're just side consequences.

Stephen Jay Gould observationevolutiontheory Our creationist detractors charge that evolution is an unproved and unprovable charade — a secular religion masquerading as science. They claim, above all, that evolution generates no predictions, never exposes itself to test, and therefore stands as dogma rather than disprovable science. This claim is nonsense. Stephen Jay Gould dogmatestsevolution An old paleontological in joke proclaims that mammalian evolution is a tale told by teeth mating to produce slightly altered descendant teeth. Stephen Jay Gould talesteethevolution Each worldview was a cultural product, but evolution is true and separate creation is not. [...] Worldviews are social constructions, and they channel the search for facts. But facts are found and knowledge progresses, however fitfully. Fact and theory are intertwined, and all great scientists understand the interaction. Stephen Jay Gould progressevolutionfacts It [AI] would take off on its own and redesign itself at an ever increasing rate. Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution, couldn't compete and would be superseded. Stephen Hawking programmingevolutionwould-be«1920212223242526272829»
