:About those "algorithms"--a commentator named Jim Manzi mentioned them in an essay published in the current issue of ''National Review''. He states that if those algorithms work at all, then they show that, because evolution is not random after all, one cannot assert ''a priori'' that [[God]] does not direct it. Fine, except for one crucial element that we never even considered: time. Evolution, as you currently define it, takes far more time than the earth has been around.--[[User:TerryH|TerryH]]<sup>[[User talk:TerryH|Talk]]</sup> 23:29, 1 October 2007 (EDT) | :About those "algorithms"--a commentator named Jim Manzi mentioned them in an essay published in the current issue of ''National Review''.
