If it ain't random, it ain't Darwin


UK Spectator, Matt Ridley: The natural order of things


NRO Corner, Jim Manzi: Unnatural Evolution

My comment (which echoes Jim's)


Matt left out a critical word -- "random" in "nudging forward descent with modification." I don't and I don't know of any engineer I know who works with random modification -- rather is it is intelligently directly modification.
