"The error lies before you think. It lies before the paradigm which lies before the presupposition which lies before the assumption which lies before the reasoning which lies before the error in the conclusion which lies before the bad outcome. The lies happen before you think about it." Hint: the words, lies and think, have double meanings.

Presuppositions matter.  It’s not the early 19th century any more.  We have paradigms, webs of belief, social and historical influences on science, redefinitions of scientific explanation, deep debates about empiricism vs rationalism, no consensus on what constitutes scientific explanation, and a host of other worries that do not allow one to merely assume science is progressive and true to reality.  Even then, Ayala cannot just assume that Darwinism is better aligned with science (whatever it is) than are other world views.   ~ creationsafaris.com/crev200705.htm#20070524a ~ Current News: https://crev.info

Ideas have consequences.  Complex problems have simple, easy-to-understand wrong answers.  Intuitively obvious principles can represent false visions of the world.  And scientific or political ideologies built on them can be disastrous.  ~ creationsafaris.com ~ Current News: https://crev.info
