Why? It was the term "evolutionary philosophy" that I didn't understand. And it's
"idiosyncratic." You'll find it in your closest right-wing dictionary. Maybe
you'll even find "I was wrong. I misunderstood the Toronto Star article."
It can happen to any of us. But as I wrote earlier, leave the thin-skinned
theatrics to us Canuckistanis. We're better at it.

I concur.  Indeed, the entire history of the human race is a testament 
to devolution.  Men are in a lost and fallen state, and can never redeem 
themselves without faith in Jesus Christ.  Only blind hubris affords any 
other view of our downward slide.

Since Marc apparently would have us believe that dictionaries are part 
of a vast right-wing conspiracy to promote ideosyncratic foolishness, 
let him propose his own definition for the term "philosophy".

I personally consider philosophy as the core of knowledge that 
contributes to a specific discipline.  Philosophy informs learning and 
understanding.  It encompasses the precepts and principles that govern a 
particular domain.

Sceintific disciplines consist of a blend of philosophical, technical, 
and applied practical aspects.  Practices and techniques related to a 
specific discipline are separate from the philosophical base, but derive 
from the tenets of that philosophy.

[ZION] Science disonance

2002-11-24 Thread Gary Smith
That's because it hasn't evolved far enough yet. That's like asking Cro
Magnon if he think Neanderthal is mimicking him, or if it's just an
evolution-thing
BTW, IMO philosophy shows that evolution is a farce.  However, it DOES
show that de-evolution does occur in laboratory mice and high school
students
