CHAPTER

Dawkins Can Have It Both Ways

Dawkins doesn't have any obvious way of trying to show that mean theory is itself true. If it's not adopted by the species, then it is no longer true. And i think the same is true of evolutionary theory as a whole. He can hafe the mean theory, but he's got to give up the idea that he might have discovered the truth in the process of presenting it. But one of the things at that i love about darkins is that he once said that he's the son of the aligneman tonsina. Is very proud of being a son alinment.
