Excerpt 1)

Over the individual life span, what causes organisms to start out as single cells and then anti-entropically climb to dizzyingly greater heights of order (in the case of humans, to cell populations in the trillions built into intricate intercellular structures such as the eye, vasculature, and brain)? As if that were not enough, how is it that living collections of atoms are drawn from that even more immensely minute subset of ordered arrangements that reliably construct new systems that duplicate the functional order in the parent physical systems—that is, why do living systems reproduce or replicate (Paley, 1828)?

My comment: Schrodinger (1944) claimed that that sun’s biological energy was the anti-entropic force that linked ecological variation to ecological adaptation.
Excerpt 2)

All aspects of the phenotype are equally codetermined by this interaction (see Tooby & Cosmides, 1990, pp. 19–20). But although not gene centered, this view is very much natural selection centered, because it is natural selection that chooses some genes rather than others and in so doing orchestrates the interaction between the two inheritances so that high degrees of recurrent functional order can emerge and persist, such as eyes or maternal love.

My comment: Evolutionary theorists have never presented experimental evidence of biologically-based cause and effect that links quantum physics to quantum biology, or that links mutations to the evolution of a new species via the biophysically constrained chemistry of nutrient-dependent RNA-mediated protein folding.
They also have not explained their ridiculous theories in terms that serious scientists can put into the context of what is known about cell type differentiation, which obviously requires the anti-entropic epigenetic effects of nutrient-energy. That fact can be placed into the context of Darwin’s “conditions of life.”
This ridiculous claim can be placed into that same context: “Selection built anti-entropic mechanisms into organisms to orchestrate transactions with environments so that they have some chance of being organization-building and reproduction-enhancing rather than disordering.” Unfortunately, it is obvious to even the most ignorant of all theorists on this planet that selection cannot build anything into any organism that already exists.
And yet, here we have evidence that links quantum physics to quantum biology in a context that is not accepted by biologically uninformed science idiots. Neural qubits: Quantum cognition based on synaptic nuclear spins. Thus, before they again put an end to any intelligent discussion of cause and effect, I will add this:

Evolutionary theorists have claimed “…it is natural selection that chooses some genes rather than others and in so doing orchestrates the interaction between the two inheritances so that high degrees of recurrent functional order can emerge and persist, such as eyes or maternal love.“They appear to believe that natural selection is contextually comparable to claims about the anti-entropic force of the sun’s biological energy. Indeed, in the context of virus-perturbed protein folding, natural selection was linked to the evolution of monogamy in prairie voles and human love by Larry Young. See:

Ask yourself, how did Larry Young manage to incorporate so much ignorance of biologically-based cause and effect into the most ridiculous misrepresentation a serious scientist could possibly imagine? Evolutionary theorists can be expected to incorporate the ridiculous beliefs of other theorists into their misrepresentations of cause and effect, but Larry Young is the current president of the Atlanta Chapter of the Society for Neuroscience.
