Natural selection is built upon survivability;
complexity has no role in the process;
the problem of entropy is not addressed.
return to "Evolution" main-page
Dr. Amit Goswami: “Physicists (see, for example, Davies 1988) have pointed out that Darwinism (and its offshoots) cannot be the correct theory of evolution because it has no mechanism for the biological arrow of time [that is, evolution proceeds from simple to complex]. According to Darwinism, evolution takes place through chance and necessity. Chance is obviously random; no preferred directionality there. Necessity, natural selection based on survivability, depends on fecundity, that is, the success of the species in making babies; complexity has no role in it.”
Editor’s note: "No mechanism" means that Darwinism has no explanation of how to deal with the entropy problem. This means that, when you hear a Darwinist too-confidently speaking of “the pond dried up and so the organism developed lungs,” meaning, it needed to develop lungs, a statement is being made unsupported by the theory of natural selection. There is no necessary “arrow of time” pointing toward greater complexity in natural selection. Survivability is concerned only with getting by and saving the skin. According to the inner workings of the theory, natural selection would be just as happy to make the organism less complex, dumber, to accomplish a goal of mere survival. When the pond dries up, natural selection would just as easily make the organism something less viable and more primitive.
