Re: Dissent From Darwin
The confusion in this thread is philosophical, not factual. Everyone seems to think science and philosophy are disjoint methodologies: that is, a truth claim in the scientific domain is incommensurable to a truth claim in the philosophical domain, and vice versa.
This is at best an antiquated intuition, and at worst it is indefensible dogmatism. Anyone who seriously argues otherwise has missed the last 100 years of philosophy. (*Cough* NotReady *cough.*) One only need examine the considerable philosophical controversy on what constitutes a meaningful empirical claim to see what I mean.
