EVOLUTION: MIND OR RANDOMNESS?
Philosophical naturalists claim macroevolution shows order emerging by pure chance. This claim is incompatible with accepted physical and bio-logical principles. The present state of the universe is implicit in its initial state and the laws of nature. Logical principles essential to science require...

This claim is incompatible with accepted physical and bio-logical principles. The present state of the universe is implicit in its initial state and the laws of nature. Logical principles essential to science require these laws to be maintained by a self-conserving reality identifiable as God. Further, the laws share a common dynamic with human committed intentions. Both are logical propagators seen to be intentional by theists and naturalists alike. Mechanism and teleology project a single reality into different conceptual spaces. Statistically, evolution is only possible given predefined goals. For fitness to be explanatory, it must be prior to survival events, entailing immanent goals verified by convergent evolution, toolkit genes, and evolutionary stasis. Aristotle's falsifiable claims for teleology are confirmed by evolution. Evolution is not random, but fully intentional, evidencing mind in nature. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies is the property of Institute for Interdisciplinary Research and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
