Causes for celebration

Shaun Johnston:
In modern times we've made two revolutionary discoveries. One is, how changes in physical matter can be accounted for in terms of physical laws that can predict precisely what will happen next. Having given rise to science (how this can be studied) and industry (how it can be applied) this revolution is well under way.

The second revolution is, how emergence of species of living creatures can be accounted for in terms of them evolving from one another. This revolution, despite its promise of how much it could tell us about ourselves, remains stillborn through the mistaken application to it of principles coming out of the first revolution--reductive physicalism.

For this second revolution to advance it should be taken from under the wing of science and studied on its own terms. Tip: one recent product of evolution is creatures with minds. Minds are better studied through methods of the humanities than through those of science. Tell me, does this interest you?

Today I issued, through PRweb, the first in a year of releases about my theme of flaws in Darwinism and the need for replacements. See the release here. It starts:

"Author Explains How Science Alone Can Never Account For How We Evolved: Until science can account for conscious experience and free will there can't be a science of evolution, says Shaun Johnston, author of "Save Our Selves from Science Gone Wrong: Physicalism and Natural Selection." And even if there could be such a science it wouldn't be Darwinism.

I'm also celebrating because it is now legal for teachers in Tennessee, asked by students to explain my theories, to do so.
