Evolution in Person (evolution personified into a wizard and worker of miracles)

For a blind watchmaker, Evolution is quite the seer. Science articles often personify Evolution into a wizard and worker of miracles. This is odd, considering that evolution is supposed to be an aimless, purposeless process of chance and necessity with no goals in mind.

Evolution, the Learner: Evolution learns from past environments, we are told by Science Daily. Scientists at the Weizmann Institute believe that evolution learns its lessons so well it can parry them into inventions by digging into its bag of mistakes. The article states nonchalantly, “evolution can learn the rules of the environment and develop organisms that can readily generate novel useful traits with only a few mutations.”

The scientists admitted, however, that...

ping :o)

Anthropomorphism wearing the mask of science.

[Para-Ord.45]

So according to ToE, random chance rolls the dice and it comes up 7s 90% of the time or so.

[GodGunsGuts]

Good one...I just put anthropomorphism in the keyword list!

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

Bingo.

I thought Dawkins was supposed to be evolution personified.

[GodGunsGuts]

And yet we can find no trace of this run of luck except in the minds of the Darwinist faithful.

[GodGunsGuts]

Nah. But he is one of the main popularizers of attributing intelligent effects to what are supposed to be non-intelligent causes.

[tacticalogic]

Nah.

Wouldn't know it by the posts.

I have never maintained that Darwkins is evolution personified. However, that would go a long way in explaining why Darwin’s ToE doesn’t work d;op

If that doesn't work, there's always Hitler.

read later...I really like that site!

Yes, unfortunately for humanity the Nazis turned out to be quite the Darwinists. And speaking of the Darwinist underpinnings of the Nazi movement, I am very much looking forward to reading the following article in the newest issue of the Journal of Creation:

I’d like to speak my mind on this issue. But I’m afraid I’d really piss off the Darwinist gods of Time and Chance.

[GodGunsGuts]

Aren’t they cool! I check up with them every morning. In fact, I’m about to send a word of encouragement and possibly a small donation. All the best—GGG

[GodGunsGuts]

...or at least the army of materialist religionists who claim we are the product of Time and Chance...LOL

[tacticalogic]

But holding up Fred Phelps as Creationism personified would of course be a cheap shot.

Do you mean that at some level there is a conscious intellect that can readjust or tweak DNA to produce specific results based from previous experience?
