But Will you still haven't answered my question: Darwin defined
natural selection as the elimination of the less improved forms. See
http://groups.google.com/group/alt.talk.creationism/browse_frm/thread/777b37f621f66c4e#

And below here Dennet tells us he thinks that Darwin's insight that
the dead dinosaurs were less improved because they died is the most
brilliant idea any man could have ever conceived of.

Dangerous idea p.21
"....Let me lay my cards on the table. If I were to give an award for
the single best idea anyone has ever had, I'd give it to Darwin, ahead
of Newton and Einstein and everyone else. In a single stroke, the idea
of evolution by natural selection unifies the realm of life, meaning,
and purpose with the realm of space and time, cause and effect,
mechanism and physical law. But it is not just a wonderful scientific
idea. It is a dangerous idea. My admiration for Darwin's magnificent
idea is unbounded, but I, too, cherish many of the ideas and ideals
that it seems to challenge, and want to protect them. For instance, I
want to protect the campfire song, and what is beautiful and true in
it, for my little grandson and his friends, and for their children
when they grow up....":

In what way Will, did Darwin's observation that those who are dead are
less improved the most brilliant idea any man could have ever
conceived ?
