good post. Lamarck is indeed back.

we get yet another confirmation of how wrong the bankrupt, anti-God, mechanistic philosophy of macro evolution (new species creation via direct genetic mutation over vast time periods) is. it’s adherents continue running themselves further on to the reef of failed human ideas, because it creates nothing and properly predicts nothing we see in experiments at the cellular level (the real world). it really is easier to think of the vast cell proteome consulting a persistent genomic database as it goes about adapting to it’s environment. it is also creating it’s environment as it goes along. life is a infinite feedback loop, each cell can do it’s own thing (uh oh, cancer). now, experiment proves the cell can store hard data in it’s own local copy of the genome. voila, it’s Lamarck (us believers never left him).

so questions: so How did the cell create itself without self-replication. and What then is restricting, channeling all this massive action? how is this incredible activity regulated and directed? how could it have designed itself based on environment when it is reacting denovo to new situations? crazy huh. still no answers or experimental proof yet from Dawkins and his crew (and there never will be because they don’t want to see anything new).

the apparent options the simple the cell has available to deal with in it’s environments is incredibly vast, basically infinite. good thing too because the universe that life can explore is potentially infinite, too, like it’s Creator. very cool. God is amazing!

Lamarck is just as much a “ bankrupt, anti-God, mechanistic philosophy.”

Dawkins and Noble are not in actual disagreement about Darwinian evolution, and Noble's version of "Lamarckianism" - q.v. "tubulins" - is a far cry from that which Lamarck, himself, ever espoused. And to twist Noble's words into some sort of an endorsement of "Intelligent Design" would be dishonest. This is all more like a "tempest in a teapot."

I think that you are reading a little too much into this article.
