"I'll grant you that the study of evolution is created by the mind of man (at least on this planet). But the fact of evolution, as Watson describes it, is most definitely not created by the mind of man (unless you wish to defend some form of subjective idealism or even solipsism)."


Who do you give credit for the "fact" of evolution??? Who established the boundaries and the parameters of what is called evolution???

You're asking the wrong question, I think. Asking for a 'who' in this context is mistaken. Not everything that happens happens as a result of some conscious, directing agency.

Evolution does that on it's own - no "who" required.
