“Het is een teken van een ontwikkelde geest om met een gedachte te kunnen spelen zonder die te accepteren.” — Aristoteles

Hij zegt ook dat Douglas Futuyma Rome is ontvlucht, het idee wekkend dat dat tengevolge van bovenstaande zou zijn, wat niet waar is:“After I walked back to my seat someone said “only evolutionists can ask questions,” Babuna told Reuters afterwards. “This is very anti-democratic and very unacademic. If this is a scientific meeting … if you have scientific questions to ask, they should be responded to scientifically, everybody accepts that … if you force people to shut up and don’t let them ask any question … then it is not a scientific theory but an ideology.” The spat was filmed by Babuna’s associate Dr Cihat Gundogdu, who put an edited version on the Harun Yahya website.
En zoeken op nieuws over de professor levert verder niets op, niet iets recents dan.Futuyma was one of dozens of scientists, theologians and philosophers invited to speak at a conference in Rome March 3-7 marking the 150th anniversary of the publication of Charles Darwin's "Origin of Species" in which he put forth his theory on evolution.
The conference, titled "Biological Evolution: Facts and Theories," was sponsored and organized by the Pontifical Council for Culture's Science, Technology and the Ontological Quest project, the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, and several of Rome's pontifical universities.
In his talk, Futuyma said modern genetic discoveries have confirmed what Darwin and others concluded from studying and comparing the anatomy and embryos of different species -- that all living organisms descend from a common ancestry.
