    Hi Scott,

    All right, I geuss I should go and read some Dennet.

    You ask:
    "So what is the point of insisting on a Darwinist explanation of how species
    evolve?"

    Andy: Because you haven't given me a very good reason to abandon it. Darwinian
    theory gives a very good explanation of how species evolve. Empirical evidence
    supports it.

    You seem to be avoiding my question on self-consciousness. Is there a reason?
    Also, your insinuation that a computer is a PERFECTLY spatio-temporal mechanism
    leading to your analogy with the brain. I think this is slightly off. Your
    insistence of reduction to smallest units leads to some unnecessary confusions
    and needless speculations IMO. But, keep right on going. I have to go along
    with Paul and say your explanations leave me far behind. You may be way ahead of
    all of us--exception Bo :)

    Andy
