Mmmmmmm, someone uses an Aristotelean/Thomist vocabulary to understand embryology and then goes on to mischaracterize the views of a list member who takes Darwin as seriously as anyone on the list as an Hegelian.
We won't even go into the referential problems that have cropped up in the last 15 or so years around the term "gene" or, gasp, "nature."
