 It is difficult to know how seriously one is expected to take these criticisms. Let it be said that one would have a great deal more respect for the arguments and conclusions put forward if they had been informed by contemporary writings on evolutionary theory, for instance, the brilliant and painstaking work of the husband and wife team of Peter and Rosemary Grant (2007), who have spent decades studying the evolution and speciation of finches in the Galapagos Archipelago. Or the groundbreaking work of people like Francisco Ayala (2009) as they study the molecular factors involved in ongoing development and change. Not to mention the seminal studies of Brian Hall (1999) and Sean Carroll (2005) on the ways in which individual development can get reflected in long-term changes (so-called “evo-devo”). Though Richard Dawkins can put people off when he holds forth on matters philosophical or theological, that is no good reason simply to dismiss without argument his scientific claims, as Plantinga often does. Likewise, it is true indeed that no one yet has been able to spell out the full story of the origin of life, but this doesn’t justify Nagel’s failure to mention that a huge amount now is known about life’s origins, most especially about the crucial role played by the secondary ribonucleic acid RNA (rather than the more familiar DNA) (Ruse and Travis (eds.) 2009). Until the criticisms put forward by Nagel, Plantinga, Fodor, etc. do start to take seriously modern science, we might justifiably continue to take them less than seriously.
