TWO QUESTIONS, FOUR ANSWERS: A Brief Summary of What We Don't Know - Andrew P. 
Smith

Elliott Benjamin is the most recent author to contribute to the evolution 
discussion. His article, "Evolution, Consciousness and Purpose", focuses on 
the really difficult questions: 1.how did the material world arise? 2.how did 
consciousness arise? As he readily admits, everything at this point becomes 
speculation. But I think speculation is useful here, if it helps us draw a 
line between what science can apparently explain, and what it can't, at least 
not yet.

EVOLUTION, CONSCIOUSNESS, AND PURPOSE - Elliot Benjamin

I have been following the ongoing Integral World evolution debate through all 
the participants in the debate, inclusive of the Lanes' various articles that 
have spurred on the controversy, which has stimulated responses from Astin, 
Visser, Smith, and Freund. The notion of consciousness has recently gotten 
some attention in the debate, and I would like to include the related notion 
of psychic phenomena.

WHO DEFINES “WHO”? Reply to Freund - Andrew P. Smith

Andreas Freund, a self-described physicist, has jumped into the evolution 
debate with a short reply to David Lane, et al., that, if I understand it 
correctly, provides some support for creationism.[1] Physics is often 
described as the “hardest” of sciences, because it studies the most elemental 
forms of material existence. But ironically, it has, probably more than any 
other scientific discipline, offered observations that seem to undermine 
seriously the scientific paradigm. So I am not much surprised that a physicist 
would challenge in some respects the strong support for the scientific view 
offered by the Lanes.
