The Story of Evolution and the Evolution of Stories: Exploring the Significance of Diversity (2005), a college course that "experiments ... with two interrelated and reciprocal inquiries: whether the biological concept of evolution is a useful one in understanding the phenomena of literature (in particular: the generation of new stories), and whether literature contributes to a deeper understanding of evolution."Includes student comments and three sets of student web papers.
Philosophy of Science, Ideals of Scientific Explanation and the Nature of Its Objects, a college course |
What is Evolution (and science)? Science can actually take the place of the human eye and (attempt to) describe places and times outside of human scales.
Random variation (reproduction with variance) and natural selection (differential reproductive success) helps to make sense of What is Intelligent Design? Intelligent design is the theory that the theory of evolution is simply not explanation enough for the complexity of the world and that all organisms must be the product of careful and conscious design (Miller). It declares that organisms were built, just like the machines we build today, and that they were not the end results of a process of random mutation or natural selection.
