Sal discusses his SECULAR paper that was up until recently a closely guarded secret.
He'll be making a presentation to a group of faculty and deans of Christian universities about the relevance of this secular publication to topics of interest to Christians, Creationists, and ID proponents.
This show is s dress rehearsal for that presentation.

"Dynamical Systems and Fitness Maximization in Evolutionary Biology" by William Basener, Salvador Cordova, John Sanford, and Ola Hossjer.
Sal Cordova shares his perspectives as 2nd author in a 70-page peer-reviewed publication in a Springer/Nature Handbook that was up until now a closely guarded secret. A version of the publication is available on Ola's researchgate website here:
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/354052360_Dynamical_Systems_and_Fitness_Maximization_in_Evolutionary_Biology
As a reference work, the publication aimed to bring important facts to light that would be of benefit to all sides of the origins issues. However, it also highlighted candid admissions by top tier evolutionary biologists themselves such as Joe Felsenstein, Richard Lewontin, and many others about the failures, irrelevancies, and confusions surrounding neo-Darwinism, particularly the broken ambition of creating a convincing mathematical argument in favor of natural selection through the discipline of population genetics.
The publication argues that defining fitness in terms of design, engineering, and medical principles is superior to the tautologous and circular definition of fitness in terms of reproductive success.
Bill Basener and John Sanford put forward a major contribution in correcting a major flaw in Fisher's Fundamental Theorem of Natural Selection. Topics such as mathematically deriving the principle of genetic entropy from Poisson's distribution are discussed. The publication was also privileged to have Ola Hossjer provide an important internal review.
