Well, I went and got my own copy and on first reading it looks very much like another
creationist argument in different clothing. It doesn't appear to be the standard
"...if we can
only rubbish science and Darwinism sufficiently then the only other choice is God and
Creation..." garbage but there is still a very strong element of the teleological
argument
involved which I just don't buy.
The earlier part of the paper looked promising in that it appeared to accept some of
the ideas
that Roger and myself have been banging on about for some time now - autopoesis - but
this
doesn't seem to be continued later in the paper.
Anyway, I'll bugger off and have another good read of it and let some other folk say a
few
words before I come back for another go.
