This idea must be attacked and demolished!
This "example" or illustration is misleading in the same way that the [[Icons of Evolution]] exposed by [[Jonathan Wells]] are misleading. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 08:17, 27 October 2007 (EDT)

The idea behind the illustration is that the information is the subject (or mover), propagating itself as in Dawkins's theory of [[The Selfish Gene]]. It falsely anthropomorphizes the inert meme (like a gene), because someone or something must make the changes. It is a clever and sophisticated way to sidestep the need for a Designer to make the changes.
Every idea that morphs into another idea has been changed by a [[human being]]. The idea itself is passive. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 08:20, 27 October 2007 (EDT)
