Stylus's Evolutionary Simulation Aims to Bridge Gap Between Real World and Artificial

In 2008, Biologic Institute director Doug Axe co-published an article in PloS One describing Stylus, a computer program created to simulate Darwinian evolution. Many computer simulations that purport to simulate Darwinian evolution have deficiencies: Pro-ID scientists like William Dembski or Robert Marks have shown how programs smuggle in information such that they are pre-directed to evolve their targets. Axe's work demonstrates that such programs typically evolve solutions to...
