Darwin-Free Science Is Possible

November 29, 2021 | David F. Coppedge

Scientists can just report the evidence without evolutionary stories. Here’s a good example and a bad example.

Good Example: Sea Lions

Sea lion whiskers can move like human fingertips: here’s how we found out (Robyn Grant, The Conversation). This is an enjoyable story of good old-fashioned experimental science. Grant, a Senior Lecturer in Comparative Physiology and Behaviour at Manchester Metropolitan University, tells how her team answered a biological question: can other mammals use whiskers like humans use fingers? Her 100% Darwin-free article starts with awe of the human hand:

This is not saying what the headline wants people to think it says.

Yes, science does NOT have to explain everything back to abiogenesis. However when researching such interesting phenomena frequently the scientists DO have to apply questions on what survival traits things like whiskers have.

But thanks for dismissing the “TToE does not explain Abiogenesis” attempted argument.

Indeed science has no need at all to explain life back to abiogenis. Only the metaphysical doctrine of Naturalism does.

Now if we can only stop them from explaining everything goes back to climate change.
