In related news from an equally reliable source:

Strange that you should finally see through the just-so stories of Darwinists.

Since the book by Gopnik is not yet released we must use the quotes from the "Seed" article. That said, the statement made by Gopnik excluding the final sentence, "The way that evolution seems to have solved this problem is by giving us this period of childhood where we don’t have to do anything, where we are completely useless. We’re free to explore the physical world, as well as possible worlds through imaginative play." seems to apply completely to Darwinists in the adult stage.

Gopnik seems not to have gone through the baby(toddler) stage, since it surprises her that babies can be smart. She also must not be a parent since she seems to be surprised that they can learn to do things. Finally, my grandson reminds me that toddlers have innate curiousity about the world. He quickly gravitates towards making any device with buttons and knobs perform actions undreamt of by their makers.

Just to comment further, babies are not useless.

As I said, my source is as reliable as the OP.

Thanks for agreeing.

As far as childhood somehow undermining TToE — only when you don’t understand science. This is the most specious “analysis” I have ever seen — even from one of these sister-to-WWN sites.
