Darwin failed 1

At Yale University there's a computer science professor, David Gelernter, who "is known for predicting the World Wide Web and has developed many complex computing tools over the years . . ."

Not a lightweight, he was called "one of the most brilliant and visionary computer scientists of our time" by the founder of Sun Microsystems.

He apparently thinks for himself (see last Friday's post) - which is surprising, because his work environment demands conformity. Diversity of race, gender, etc., is celebrated, but diversity of thought is out of line in the academic world.

Official dogma in the university world is Darwinism: the belief that all life on earth came about through natural selection and random genetic mutations.  A few think maybe God had a hand in it ( i.e. theistic evolution) but they are insignificant in that world.

Yet David Gelernter published an article in May entitled, "Giving Up Darwin." His conclusion is that "Darwin has failed."
