Guest guest Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Hi all: From the article, which can be found if you google " epigenetics time magazine " : --- In contrast, Darwin argued that evolution works not through the fire of effort but through cold, impartial selection. By Darwinist thinking, giraffes got their long necks over millennia because genes for long necks had, very slowly, gained advantage. Darwin, who was 84 years younger than Lamarck, was the better scientist, and he won the day. Lamarckian evolution came to be seen as a scientific blunder. Yet epigenetics is now forcing scientists to re-evaluate Lamarck's ideas. --- Immensely tricky. Lost in the details of the article is the reality: Lamarck was right. Acquired characteristics are inherited. Lamarck made the correct prediction. What is particularly disingenuous of the article is to state that ( " the new science of " ) epigenetics is forcing scientists to re-evaluate their ideas. Yet the evidence *was* sufficient in Lamarke's time. The questions are a) why is it that we need *more* evidence *now*, and b) why was Lamarck reviled in his day, despite sufficient evidence. The scam goes on. , interestingly, predicted and observed the acquisition of inherited characteristics and has clearly stated that our preheaven essence could be better or worse depending on the environment, our parents and so on, and that in its transformation and use, we can mold a new preheaven essence which we will transmit to our descendants.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Hi Julie, yes, I am slightly aware of his work. There are some things about it which I find myself in disagreement with, but I wonder about your p.o.v. re his theories and presentation of them?
