发帖数: 209 | 2 It is a tough read. As I have always suspected, philosophers typically have
nothing useful to say behind the complicated language.
It appears that he mainly uses Darwin's original work to
attack Darwinism, whilst Darwinism has progressed with time.
(By contrast, it is reasonable to attack the orginal Bible,
as long as it is considered as an absolute truth.)
All scientific theories progress precisely by trying to
satisfy the Popper's Falsifiability. What could not be explained

about <10k according to the bible, such an earth where a life
can evolve does not exist. 当然作者不相信这个biblical age.
不过这个怀疑当时的确存在。后来地质证明地球有50亿历史，证实了进化论
所作的预测--地球需要很古老，才能进化出现在丰富多彩的生命。

be aware of the age of the earth. (The paper was published in
1969.) So it is rather puzzling for his physicists' statement.
I did speed reading. It is not worth the time to slow read
any philosopher's book.

not in Chinese. It is much more clearly phrased in English ...
