[QUOTE="FrumiousBandersnatch, post: 75354126, member: 241055"] To be clear, what I actually said was: [INDENT]"[I]I'm not saying they should not be seen as 'evolutionary causes' in their own right. I just think that narrow causal view is a not a helpful way to think of evolution. The 'cause' of evolution is heritable variation in populations combined with natural selection. There are various ways by which variation and its interactions with natural selection can occur, and various levels of complexity of these processes can be considered over various timescales. Consequently, there are many ways to view and categorise these processes. They're all 'causal' by the fact of participating in the causal sequences that lead to evolution, but it's not a particularly useful or constructive description.[/I]"[/INDENT] I suspect that's how the non-EES community sees it too. I didn't say that, and it is not the case. [/QUOTE]
