		<description><![CDATA[Not to hijack the post topic, but I always love seeing topics on biology, and this one served to remind me of the recent and terrific creaking of the paradigmatic tectonic plates of evolutionary theory &#8212; in fact of all of biology &#8212; authored by none other than Carl Woese and a bright UK physicist named Goldenfeld.

Basically, they say that much of what the above average Joe and his Bio 101 professor are saying about &quot;biology is chemistry&quot; and Lamarckism and evolutionary theory is increasingly irrelevant, distracting, incorrect, and &#8212; worst of all &#8212; not useful as a modern theory underyling Biology. They suggest using the ideas found in condensed matter physics as a basis for construction of biological theory. 

Interested parties should search for their &quot;Life Is Physics&quot; article in a recent issue of... &lt;cite&gt;Nature&lt;/cite&gt;, I think it was.]]></description>
