Adam,
Thanks for the response last weekend, but I am convinced there is no possible
benefit from furthering the discussion. We have completely different views on
evolutionary theory and on what we will require of or from our beliefs. In
this case, I think Rorty is right. I cannot answer the points you made
(attached below) in an efficient manner. Let's just agree to disagree, OK?
Rog
Adam excerpts:
That is the
whole point of evolution, survival of the fittest.
The difference is that a step in a line of
reasoning is not all of the reasoning.
evolution is a process which has a goal of
Quality just like everything else in the universe.
The majority of species become extinct because of
outside influences like environment or man.
And isn't that SOM logic
anyways?
Evolution helps organisms to survive, it
doesn't destroy them.
Organisms evolve to a state that can
survive in its environment, if the environment doesn't
change, the organism will not need to change either.
The point of evolution is to create static
patterns that have DQ
As any MOQist should know through the heirarchy of
static quality, the universe is evolving towards
Quality.
the reason the
goal of evolution is DQ is because in order for life
to be as close to Qualty as possible
If
evolution is a blind process, how does life obtain
Quality blindly?
Ok, i can understand how "get around" or "disobey"
are bad terms to use when taken literally, i'll think
of a different way to say it but not now,
Adding a purpose or goal doesn't add anything to the
theory!?! Did you really just say that!?!
