Forgive me but I don't think you've really answered the question. Not knowing that DNA causes heredity is not the same thing as "being wrong" about heredity -- as far as I'm aware, Darwin didn't make...

What do you mean by "got it wrong"? He never suggested an account of genetics in the first place, because he wasn't aware that genes existed, so there's nothing for him to have gotten wrong.

Who thinks that logical reasoning (by which I assume you also mean deference to empirical observation) is the "only important thing"? I've never heard atheists say this. All they believe is that...

Depends what you mean by "universe". The argument doesn't stop us from simulating different universes, with less information than our own. For example, if we were allowed to use all the matter in the...

So in your first post, you were kind of using "free will" to refer to this element of unpredictability. I see. :)

It means precisely that. Personally I'm perfectly happy with having free will by this 'parsimonious' definition; I don't see any problems at all. I make decisions based on my desires: I weigh up the...

There's another adage that "birds of a feather flock together". They can't both be right. Psychologists actually settled the matter a long while ago. Relationships are much more likely to be more...
