A friend writes:
Evolution jury-rigs out of the available material.
This sentence, useful as it might be for popularizing the matter in a grade-school magazine, is simply catastrophically wrong. Evolution doesn't jury-rig (or jerry-rig or n-rig). Evolution is not a person, does not act, has no goal. The use of anthropomorphic concepts leads to hidden teleologism.
Strangely, many folks agree that teleology, as applied to evolution, is a bad thing. And yet those same folks, as humanists, cannot seem to escape this fallacy. From the proper perspective the movie that is creation, from big bang to big crunch (or whatever happens to turn out to be the case) can be played backwards or forwards; it is only from our limited vantage within the film that we seem to be moving more one way than another. When I read a novel I suspend disbelief and immerse myself in the time-stream of the characters, but this does nothing to change the reality that the whole piece is set and done. There is no surprise, no mystery, only our ignorance from our little, limited perspectives.
This pushes on the ISR domain, rather than simply ending up on the Oblio's Cap site, which is admittedly more unrestrained in terms of free-from philosophizing, because of the seeming paradox in communication theory where we pit information against entropy, redundancy against novelty. Somewhere, somehow, this notion of actively suspending disbelief bears on the signal:noise, pattern:chaos, information:entropy split, even as it butts up against the free-will and predestination issue.
No further statements at this time, just marking a thought to ponder.
