There is no progress whatever. Everything is just the same as it was thousands and tens of thousands of years ago. The outward form changes. The essence does not change. Man remains just the same.
Life emerged I suggest not simple but complex and whole and has remained complex and whole ever since not because of a mysterious elan vital but thanks to the simple profound transformation of dead molecules into an organization by which each molecules formation is catalyzed by some other molecule in the organization. The secret of life the wellspring of reproduction is not to be found in the beauty of Watson-Crick pairing but in the achievement of collective catalytic closure. So in another sense life complex whole emergent is simple after all a natural outgrowth of the world in which we live.

I have called this principle by which each slight variation if useful is preserved by the term Natural Selection.
Natural selection is a mechanism for generating an exceedingly high degree of improbability.

It is even harder for the average ape to believe that he has descended from man.
Science has proof without any certainty. Creationists have certainty without any proof.
