Can't wait. This ought to be good. From a Marxist egenist to a Goethe-spouting monist and everything in between, hosted by an institute named after a Nazi race hygienist who was mentored by eugenist Julian Huxley. Beware of biologists who babble about Goethe, the way Haeckel used to.

These guys are going to raise the issue of "form" and catch all kinds of heck from evolutionists who reject any notion that "form" or "kind" has any possible relevance.
You'll see the biological sciences faculty at the top 100 universities forming a posse to take these guys out and burn them at the stake.
Should be quite a show.
(This meeting also means that even though "evolution" is supposed to be foundational to an understanding of biology, all the teachers of all the biological sciences are going to have to abandon everything they knew and go back to school to learn the new stuff)
(Guess the "evolution" that was being taught wasn't all that foundational).

You can believe in evolution or in modern mathematics and probability theory one or the other but not both: the two are mutually exclusive.

How come in the public eye, some scientists say that
evolution explains everything, but in private they
say there is more to life than just “evolution?”
Sounds to me it’s like they’re indoctrinating students,
and not revealing all the trade secrets.
I wonder what would happen if someone sued a board of
edukation(sic) to include the Altenberg 16 conclusions...
Maybe some scientists need to read Kuhns book about the
structure of scientific revolutions. It might open
their eyes to their philosophical/epistomological biases.

I was actually heartened by reading some of the writings. Among some there’s growth from the reductionism of pure darwinism and a realization that science cannot see “value”.
If this overdue move away from scientism should ever reach the popular culture...

Summing up we can see that the import of the Darwinian theory of evolution is just unexplainable caprice from top to bottom. There are biologists who read Darwin?
