Thanks. I do like reading NCSE-backed propaganda. I have actually submitted a couple of manuscripts to the journal, edited by Niles Eldredge, but they didn't like them.

LOL. Because Springer, one of the largest international scientific publishers, with an annual turnover of over 800 million Euro, needs or cares about the backing of the NCSE.

It isn't that they didn't "like" your submissions. The issue is that you're writing fiction, and submitting it to the wrong publishers. Your submissions are, no doubt, unsuitable for use even as cage liner.

From the conclusion in Joe's paper in J Bioeconomics:

"Natural
selection’s greatest strength as an opportunistic force also exposes its limitation and weakness in facilitating change within living organisms."

Hence extinction. The history of life is a story of short-term success and long-term failure. Evolution is perfectly reasonable as a natural process. As the outcome of intelligent design, it requires a monster in the role of 'designer'.

I wonder how many of the reviewers of Joe's paper understood what he was really writing about.

I would hope so! He is hopelessly delusional, if not outright insane!
