David Berlinski Quotes

Before You Can Ask 'Is Darwinian Theory Correct Or Not?', You Have To Ask The Preliminary Question 'Is It Clear Enough So That It Could Be Correct?'. That's A Very Different Question. One Of My Prevailing Doctrines About Darwinian Theory Is 'Man, That Thing Is Just A Mess. It's Like Looking Into A Room Full Of Smoke.' Nothing In The Theory Is Precisely, Clearly, Carefully Defined Or Delineated. It Lacks All Of The Rigor One Expects From Mathematical Physics, And Mathematical Physics Lacks All The Rigor One Expects From Mathematics. So We're Talking About A Gradual Descent Down The Level Of Intelligibility Until We Reach Evolutionary Biology.
