Darwin Unhinged: The Bugs in Evolution

M. Polyani died as a brilliant Materials Science researcher and outstanding teacher.  He was a deep-thinker about the subject: Philosophy of Science.

a)There is no design in the natural world?????

All this crazy stuff comes from the idea in ancient times that humanity had a special "magic" that was different in mental skill than that of other living things.  In my humble view, humans possess advance communication tools that fully obey the laws of science.  The natural world is nothing but artifacts of living things designing better lives for themselves.

Human design processes are the same as design processes used by living things and both are perfectly natural.  Humanity has evolved an purposeful information process that is more capable in abstracting and constructing information objects from structured information.

Being brilliant as I'm sure he was 40 years ago surely doesn't necessarily equate with current science, does it?

As for the rest of what you've written I have no real disagreement.
