Wistar Symposium
It is unfortunate that the famous text from the Wistar Symposium is not in print. It is one of the seminal critiques. All we get now is ID, ID, ID, with the real critics of Darwin being marginalized all over again.
As early as 1966 at the Wistar Symposium, it was pointed out by Stanislaw Ulam that Darwinism “seems to require many thousands, perhaps millions, of successive mutations to produce even the easiest complexity we see in life now. It appears, naively at least, that no matter how large the probability of a single mutation is, should it be even as great as one-half, you would get this probability raised to a millionth power, which is so very close to zero that the chances of such a chain seem to be practically non-existent.”
