Gilder's article is not available on line. It has this as the synopsis:

‘The Darwinian theory has become an all-purpose obstacle to thought rather than an enabler of scientific advance.’

This is a very true and insightful observation.

Talk origins is in fact an excellent example of this drawback of what can be called dogmatic evolutionism.

Guilder's article is available on FR at the following link:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1660216/posts

As to Gilder's assertion:

"The Darwinian theory has become an all-purpose obstacle to thought rather than an enabler of scientific advance."

I don't see how it's true, and he doesn't present any evidence in his article to support this assertion.

"Gilder's article is not available on line."

Although the linked page below has an "original article" link...
maybe this is a reproduction of the article...

Or maybe it's just a continuation of Gilder's NRO article?

So the researchers at DI should have tons of discoveries since they aren't hampered by ToE.
