There never was a more useless pair of words slapped together than "primal selection", when one word will do.
Excuse me good sir. Where do I mention God.
Never mind that. What would one
not observe in the present moment if one abandoned "primal selection"?
What's the matter, Paul? Can't abandon it? If you can't list one observable feature of our cosmos that would not be present without this "primal selection" of yours, then the idea is vacuous. But we knew that, already. You know it's vacuous. That's what "vacuous" means, Paul: comprised of nothing besides the two words you slapped together.
Would we not observe stars and galaxies, nucleosynthesis, organic chemistry, fluid dynamics, electromagnetism? The list goes on. If the list goes on too long, "primal selection" excludes nothing. It's vacuous. "Primal selection" is among the most persistently vacuous assertions this (sub)forum has ever hosted. Here in Pseudoscience, "primal selection" has some stiff competition in the vacuity department, but it seems to outdo most of them in its coruscating vacuity. You really will have to propose the existence of one deity or many in order to get so much vacuity per word. "Primal selection" is fully as vacuous as theology, Paul, and we have seen more than a few theists go out of their way to spew theology without mentioning God, so the fact that you don't mention God means fuck-all to me.
I'm pretty much convinced you are one of these meek and shrinking types fearful of the shadows of their own convictions. At best, you're so busily slapping words together because you're desperately trying to disguise theology by means of obfuscation.
May i remind you sir, Charles Darwin slapped slapped two words together and look where that you us.
I might remind you that Charles Darwin also slapped two words together.
He did so purely to reason and rationalise his observation to himself.
To my mind In terms of artistic expression, Darwin lit the blue touch paper with his innovation "by means of natural selection."
The young man turned to biology and the life sciences. Runaway growth ensued, and clearly the subject today is mono-typed.
I no longer feel the need to assert "process." Biology proves "process." (Citation: Thrower.)
It seems to me that we study "that which is closest to hand." Load the beagle and set sail for the Galapagos, biology dna.
My vacuous mind
I'd be proposing an exploded view of evolution. Ker pow!
The argument "change, unfolding, evolution" is rendered meaningless. or vacuous.
Or is it the case that the words become "unified" when you ask the question, "By what mechanism"?
