In Worldview Blinders, Barry Arrington quotes this comment in a news post about a proposal for a Nobel Prize for fundamental biology (= Darwinism? =evolutionary psychology?):
What’s really needed is a prize recognizing plausible non-Darwinian mechanisms of evolution.
To which Jurassicmac replied:
Uh, before we start handing out prizes for plausible non-Darwinian mechanisms, someone should, y’know, propose one.
Barry comments:
Jurassic is so entangled in his worldview to him alternatives to Darwinism that have been suggested at this site are not a logical possibility. They are almost literally ”unthinkable.”
Yeah. Stories here have included “That new “non-Darwinian mechanism” guy is attracting attention., James Shapiro’s new book, the Altenberg 16, lots of stuff on horizontal gene transfer (here), Eugene Koonin … Etc.
The average Darwinist doesn’t see any of that stuff and probably doesn’t sense a need to know what is going on. Darwin answered the very few questions he ever had and his life is devoted to iterating pressure group talking points.
