Do you realise that the first assumption I listed was the Descartian one? You haven't disproved Darwin's theory, and it is falsifiable (meaning that if it was wrong you could show it was wrong) so you have actually nothing to say about it that has any relevance. In fact the one thing that has shown through strongly is that you are entirely…[Read more]

Quote (seekingtruth @ July 28 2011,23:04)The process assumes equilibrium through out history.
