I accept much of what Yockey says. For example:

The fundamental consideration in evolution is the genome, not the fossil record. Gaps in the fossil record do not matter. What matters is that there are no gaps in the continuity of the genome from the origin of life to the present. It is the continuity of the genome that shows the connectedness of all life -- living, extinct and yet-to-be-evolved. That means there are no gaps in which species miraculously appear, as Intelligent Design falsely claims.

When you say it's in the hands of the chemists now, when Yockey says that there are principles of biology that cannot be deduced from the laws of physics and chemistry, there seems to be a disagreement. Do you think he wrong in his claim that there are principles of biology that cannot be deduced from the laws of physics and chemistry, and if so, why?

Cordially,
