https://evolutionnews.org/2024/08/lee-spetners-nonrandom-evolutionary-hypothesis/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_SpetnerThe ID perps have put up a couple of articles on Lee Spetner who died Aug. 9th. at the age of 91. Spetner is likely most remembered as an anti-evolution Jewish creationist. He is likely best remembered here on TO as not understanding the evidence for biological evolution (probably due to willful denial, he was one of the Archaeopteryx deniers claiming it was a fraud), and being a Behe like tweeker designer believer (the original created kinds would have had to evolve into the millions of species we have today). Wiki claims that he had some Talmudic belief in 365 original created kinds that have diversified into what we have today by nonrandom evolution. I do not recall his last book "The Evolution Revolution: Why Thinking People are Rethinking Evolution" was ever discussed very much on TO.
Wiki notes that he "vehemently rejected" teaching creationism in public schools.
