Hi Krim
DM:
Or does quality play a role?
[Krimel]
Yes and No
DM: Seems to me you really think no. Or you simply
think quality is something only humans and maybe animals
experience. This is not the MOQ. Agree?
DM:
Nonetheless, both views require the creation of variations and variety
from
which to select. Such is DQ?
[Krimel]
No, there are no "requirements". Selection does not imply a "selector".
DM: At the least this answer completely ignores sexual/mate selection.
So please explain how selection occurs when there are no possibilities
to select from? (A technical requirement not one with a requirer!)
Now I am sure you can answer this, but my point here is not about
actual possibilities that can be killed off but the possibilities that have
to be available to the actual (the very possibilities that transcend
the actual and we find hard to recognise because of our naturalistic
ideology but there is really nothing more natrual than the possible)
so that the actual can be dynamic and creative. Your repsonses
are really arguing with a position I am not making, and you know
I did natural selection 101 a very long time ago, my old professor
John Burrow edited the Penguin Origin of Species you know.
By the way I recently found the physicist BK Ridley making the same
points I have been in his book 'On Science', I think he is at least 5 years
old but physicists are getting younger all the time!
