Um...is it just me, or is critique of existing theories the process by which theory is refined?
Is Darwin's model even considered beyond that process?
Yes, but the author of this article does not have the necessary expertise to really contribute much to the argument. While he is a Ph.D., his specialty is neither genetics nor organismal development. It would be sort of like allowing me, with my doctorate in molecular genetics to design the invasion strategy in Iraq. I can have fact-based suggestions, but my level of expertise in that area does not approach what would be required to have a realistic chance of success! In my mind however, there has never been a conflict between the concepts of intelligent design and evolution. I simply regard evolution as a possible mechanism by which the intelligent design was achieved.
