To use Paul's kooky phraseology; it's still on first base.

It's because there's absolutely nothing under the hood, which is really saying something considering the existence even of the hood is highly questionable.

Did charles darwin propose "one process" to explain speciation.

The big bang a single beginning denotes a "single process".

Expert of metaphor you thrower. HS = AS. The common ancestor, the Bbang treated as the 1st metaphorical common ancestor.

Darwins metathorical tree of life. Trunk branching form. Shall we. The Bb timeline.

Master of metaphor you sir. Shall we shake Darwin's tree to see if an Apple falls.

A musing after pfrankinstein*

did Charles Darwin propose one process
to explain his big idea

that big bang
a single beginning
denoting no single proint

in time
in space

expect no metaphors

you spear throwers
applaud the common root

the singularity
ancestor to all ancestors

Darwin's metaphorical tree of life
trunk branching
branches upon bow

who shook this tree
to see if apples fall

was it Paul
