The eonic effect: as Darwinism crashes…
What if evolutionary dynamics operates at high-speed over short intervals of time? Too short for us to observe. This possibility is never considered by biologists, because it invokes the possibility that theories of evolution are, so far, beyond our grasp. We don’t have empirically documented intervals observed at close range [...]

Its legacy of scientism has generated the assumption that science in its current form is all-explanatory, and that the forms of explanation are restricted to reductionist categories. But as we examine the implications for human history we see that this canon is [...]
