| I'll add here that the "theory of evolution" is too focused on whether viable offspring can be produced, but this was a human decision, and in order to validate it a huge number of experiments would be required. As I explain to people, the evidence suggests strongly that other factors are involved, and that under some circumstances viable offspring could be produced while under other circumstances this would not occur. It is now known that certain conditions can lead to only female offspring being produced and that sometimes one organism can produce offspring without a mate (if I remember correctly, this recently occurred with a female shark at an aquarium). The point is that we just don't know, and you can't claim that you have a "scientific theory" when so much is unknown about the basic concepts underlying it. There is simply no good reason to have such basic concepts in the first place, because they derive from human perception, and may be contradicted by biological reality, rendering the entire endeavor bogus. Instead, cell colony adaptation is something that can be studied in a scientific way, and one could incorporate useful concepts that are currently part of the "theory of evolution" into it. The species notion, while understandable, is "more trouble than it's worth" when one studies the diversity of life forms in a rigorous manner. |
