I think Len Piotrowski's posts are superb. I plan to keep copies of them.
The Dawkins and Dennets and E.O.Wilsons of the world could learn from them.

By the way, check out http://info.itp.berkeley.edu/ib160. Somewhere in there
is a good critique of Dawkins' scenario for the evolution of the vertebrate
