Darwin’s Theory of Natural Selection Has Left a Legacy of Confusion over Biological Adaptation
Our ability to adapt to fantastically diverse circumstances did not result from the happenstance of environmental conditions.
Engineering Better Explains Adaptation than Evolutionary Theory
The genetic variation in any species is confined to a limited set of variables such as a finch beak’s thickness.
How Engineers Helped Save Biology from Evolutionary Theory
Design motifs such as four-bar linkages and control systems must meet exacting requirements whether implemented in a space shuttle or a fish.
Why Systems Biologists Now Assume Life Is Optimally Designed
Purported examples of poor design usually represent opinions resulting from armchair critics’ limited understanding of the technical literature.
The Return of Teleology to Biology
Biologists have faced a vexing dilemma since the philosophy of scientific materialism came to dominate Western thought.
