Theistic evolution is an oxymoron.It contradicts natural selection .End states are consequences, not foregone conclusions," states Dr. Weisz in the “Science of Biology.” The first statement is of natural selection; the second of teleology. They do not conflate: no god directs natural selection and that would be assuming a god and violating Occams’s Razor. To obivate that contradiction, theists like the physicist , Russell Stannard propose a two category classification of origns[evolution] or contingency and creation[teleology] or necessary being , a circular argument according to Kai Nielsen and Malcolm Diamond each in his philosophy of religion.Astute evolutionists such as Francisco Ayala and Kenneth Miller make these logical fallacies and the Chamberlains of giving into them Ruse and Scott do likewise in effect. This shows why I make my signature say what it does about theists. Dawkins in The God Delusion " and Frederick Crews in " Follies of the Wise ," demonstrate more evidence of theistic error. Also Amiel Rossow @ Talk Reasons in his essay on Miller shows the contradiction. Might others show evidence of theistic blunders , violations of the laws of thought? How does A god operate in natural selection if it is not a god of the gaps? Rand would surely have lauqghed at theictic irrationalism here!
