From the uncommondescent blog.  I found this to be very interesting and I have been watching this happen for a while now.  We are witnessing a revolution in biology.  Information has been coming faster now and this blog is attempting to keep visitors aware.  The old paradigm is crumbling....yet TE's are trying to save it....

One has to ask why?

Irony?

While I was shaving this morning I was thinking about the materialists who are beginning to question the evolutionary mechanisms proposed by the Neo-Darwinian Synthesis (e.g., Lynn Margulis and James Shapiro). All of a sudden a great irony struck me. No doubt many of my readers have already picked up on this, but I can be slow on the uptake and it was kind of a stunner to me. The irony is this: Even among materialists Neo-Darwinian Evolution is beginning to crumble under the cumulative weight of the many absurdities it requires its adherents to accept.

Wings, Horns, and Butterfly Eyespots: How Do Complex Traits Evolve?


......This work is difficult and time consuming, but the question at its core—the genetic origin of new and complex traits—is probably still one of the most pertinent and fundamental unanswered questions in evolution today. At stake is the possibility of testing whether novel complex traits arise from a gradual building of novel developmental networks, gene by gene, or whether pre-existent modules of interacting genes are recruited together to play novel roles in novel parts of the organism.
