I had only time to glance through, but this caught my eye,
as I cannot understand the gist of it.
What's your problem with evolution?
Before you knock it, read up on it, you seem to
have the time... The few thousand of years
since human lifespan started to be longer is
bagatelle in evolutionary timescales.
People used to die by the time their teeth
decayed. Besides, evolution is basically a random
process, there is no "ultimate reason" for all
the bits and pieces we have, if something not
hindering survival, it may stay if it is related
with an otherwise important gene. I haven't read up
on it, but this is my impression.
Science has no "love affair" with anything;
if the theory works, it is kept, if it found wanting and
one found approximating reality better, it is chucked.
This is not a postmodernist crap of "changing paradigm"
as the new theory often contains but updates the old one.
