I made a mistake. Now, I know most of you think that's not possible, but it's true! :-) I gave a bad reference: > Ernst Chain, Responsibility and the Scientist in Modern Western > Society, Council of Christians and Jews, London, 1970, page 1. > > "To postulate that the development and survival of the fittest is > entirely a consequence of chance mutations seems to me a hypothesis > based on no evidence and irreconcilable with the facts. These > classical evolutionary theories are a gross oversimplification of an > immensely complex and intricate mass of facts, and it is amazing that > they are swallowed so uncritically and so readily, and for such a long > time, by so many scientists without a murmur of protest." Well, it's not on page 1, it's on page 25. I took the quote out of a secondary source. Now that I have had a chance to look up the original, I find that my secondary source had a bug in it.
