Well, my interest in the knowing the specific point, other than
excellence of DSW's writing, was that I'd read some of the second book
(lent to me by Nick).
This came in the context of my trying to find a good, formal,
mathematical treatment on Evolution. (Not genetics .. just basic
Darwinist Evolution)
If anyone knows of such a text, I'd love to know of it! SFI's David
Krakauer gave a good talk on the stability requirements of variation
and selection at the summer school. Here's his site: http://www.santafe.edu/~krakauer/Site/Welcome.html
Re: Religion and Evolution -- Evolution was formally accepted into
Catholic teachings in the early 1900s as I recall. (I suspect this to
be true for most of the non-fundamentalist Christian religions.)
There's never been much bother about it. I presume the same to be
true for Judaism, Buddhism, Islam et. al. as well.
