Evolution in computing --TZTitled entry permalink

I've just created a page for EvoWiki entitled Evolutionary theory in computer science has been unsuccesful. It is based on an article which claimed that because computer scientists and robotics engineers haven't been succesful in building an evolving robot design (a computer that would design another robot) that this is evidence against the theory of evolution. Which is bullshit, of course.

Do use EvoWiki - it's a great source of information and also, it's "creationist claims" section is particularly useful in discussions. Instead of expending enormous amounts of time proving creationists wrong, you just copy and paste the relevant URL in to the discussion!

I am a , an , like to code in and noodle about with and the . I also have a BA in philosophy from London, and am studying for an MA. My philosophical interests are in Victorian-era German philosophy, Kierkegaard, Robert Nozick, hermeneutics and current approaches to the demarcation problem in the philosophy of science. Musically, I like jazz fusion, soul and P-Funk. My musical nirvana would be a mixture of Beethoven, Miles Davis and George Clinton topped with a side-serving of Erykah, Jill and Angie.

I also write for the Citizendium, an online encyclopedia project. If you know about stuff, you should join in.
