"We might add that the inability of neo-Darwinists , including Dawkins himself , to imagine how an organism could inherit traits acquired through life-struggle doesnÂ ’ t mean they arenÂ ’ t picked up nonetheless ."
"Actually NDS does not have to imagine the mechanism involved they actually know the mechanism . By the fact of their being alive ( which is in fact the `` life-struggle `` ) they acquire ( as a population ) mutations . Some of those mutations aid them in their `` life-struggle `` and thus become more likely to appear in the succeeding generation . Thus the succeeding generations have a slightly different memory of the past than their predecessors . And thats that ; the author clearly does not grasp the means by which complexity emerges in biological systems . Once more Adami is applicable here . And I have to add that the mechanisms of mutation , selection , and inheritance are well established at the molecular level , at the micro-cytological level , at the nuclear level , at the cellular level , at the organisimal level , and at the population and ecological levels . EAMs only riposte to that large empirical base is - to invoke mysterious and unknown and undemonstrated mechanisms which have no basis in fact . Sorry but the EAM hypothesis does not fly any better than a solid lead balloon ."
