A continuous multi-locus model describing the evolution of a large population of a diploid organism is studied. It is assumed that only the forces of natural selection and recombination are operating. The use of a non-Euclidean metric greatly clarifies the dynamical properties o…
A collection of essays answers questions about key scientific concepts, focusing, in particular, on Darwin's theory of evolution, natural selection, and its impact on biology, natural history, and modern science.
The theories propounded by Charles Darwin in The Origin of Species have had a profound and revolutionary effect, not only on biology but on philosophy, history, and theology as well. His concept of natural selection has created eruptive disputes among the scientists and religiou…

"Charles Darwin did not deliberately set out to be the "destroyer of mythical beliefs," some of which, in his early days as a young Christian, he had previously espoused. He was a modest man who liked to avoid controversy of any kind, yet paradoxically, he was to be the cause of…
Draws on new findings in genetics to pose an argument for intelligent design that refutes Darwinian beliefs about evolution while offering alternative analyses of such factors as disease, random mutations, and the human struggle for survival.
