Renowned Yale computer scientist David Gelernter claims that he is abandoning Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution.
Gelernter, who formerly served as a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, published a column earlier this year detailing his move away from evolutionary theory. The column, which was titled “Giving Up Darwin,” provides Gelernter’s arguments against Darwinism.
Darwin’s theory predicts that new life forms evolve gradually from old ones in a constantly branching, spreading tree of life. Those brave new Cambrian creatures must therefore have had Precambrian predecessors, similar but not quite as fancy and sophisticated. They could not have all blown out suddenly, like a bunch of geysers. Each must have had a closely related predecessor, which must have had its own predecessors: Darwinian evolution is gradual, step-by-step. All those predecessors must have come together, further back, into a series of branches leading down to the (long ago) trunk.

Sure, and this was a compliment:
“I suggest consulting a text book.”
When you insult me I will call you out.
“Catholicism is not biblical”
It most certainly is.
“...and they’ve killed millions of Christians.”
“They’ve” killed? Who are “they”?
Yeah, I’d call that anti-Catholic bigotry of the first order.
You’re backing off, but that’s not an apology for lying. I demand an apology for your lie. Either that, or be called out as a dishonorable liar.
Not backing off at all. You called me stupid because I did not agree with evolution. Go read a textbook yourself.
The record is available for all to read.
I never called you stupid, or anything close.
In fact, I never called you anything at all.
You are a dishonorable liar and a disgrace to Free Republic.
The evidence is here.
What evidence. Your feigned outrage covered your obvious lack of evidence. Your name calling is just another tactic you atheists always use and am used to it after 20 years.
Name one transitional species in the fossil record. There should be millions of fossils and they have zero. Give me one example.
I called you no name. You are a miserably pathetic liar. You have no place on an honorable site like FR.
I hope all FR readers shun you for your egregious mendacity.
Go read a textbook.
Yawn, the same old liberal attacks to hide the fact you cannot defend evolution. What event happened in 2017 that would bring fake Conservatives to FR????
