Lee Spetner Critiques Convergent Evolution

Sep 20, 2024
Dr. Lee Spetner, a renowned MIT-trained physicist, dives deep into the complexities of evolution. He critiques the widely accepted notion of convergent evolution, arguing it cannot adequately explain similar traits in unrelated organisms, such as echolocation. Spetner introduces his non-random evolutionary hypothesis, suggesting that environmental factors guide mutations. He also examines the limitations of random mutations and explores transposable elements as key players in adaptive changes, challenging both Darwinian principles and theistic evolution.
