However hard people try to expand its purview, in order to make it vulnerable to attack, they will not succeed.
I'm a great believer in the concept of context = coherence, mine is to place 'Darwinian evolution [forward slash] biological evolution into context of its own advancement by using itself as its own measure, both the process itself and our understanding of the process.
Many who understand 'evolution' probably do not realise that there has been a shift in the way we view the subject, naturalist/biologist, naked eye/ microscope hence the forward slash.
Yes. Mine is to broaden out the theory of evolution, to do so i must accept Darwins theory as plausible fact.
No. My ideas do not make 'it' [?] vulnerable to attack, in total contrast to your conjecture, a broader understanding can only serve to compliment and enhance the Theory of evolution.
Paul.
The broader understanding you speak of is called "science".
Evolution still only refers to the development of new species AFTER the beginning of life.
