Limitations of Neo-Darwinism and the Call for a New Theory

The chapter explores the challenges faced by neo-Darwinism in explaining major innovations in evolutionary biology, leading to a recognition of the need for a new theory. It delves into the concept of methodological naturalism in science and its limitations on exploring origin questions beyond undirected material processes. The discussion also touches on the debate between methodological naturalism and the belief in objective truth, exploring the implications of intelligent design and advocating for teaching science as an ongoing process of interpretation and debate.
