"Evolution" doesn't necessarily imply purpose, just change over time. > It would need to be called 'chaos'. All Darwinists believe > that evolution is a process based on a need. ie. Intelligence. No, really. In fact, the objection some religious people have to Darwinian theory is that it removes the *need* for a purpose--doesn't exclude it, but makes it unnecessary. The whole shebang could have arisen on its own, without any guiding intelligence. Whether there *was* a guiding intelligence is a religious or philosophical question, not a scientific one. Science can't say one way or the other. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
