Are those Darwin and Freud dolls? Or Dan Dennett and James Randi? Or Santa Claus and Saint Nick?

concerning "Darwin's Tree of Life" v.s. "Plato's Stairway to Heaven." I don't get it?!?! Why is this so important? ...... Is it..... because.... there is no natatrualistic theory of Dualism?...

Dr. Carrol, I have a weird question. I say weird because I am not quite sure I understand it myself. Suffice it to say as that may be the case as far as my understanding goes. The question I have in mind just won't go away it keeps gnawing at me... Which is, why does philosophical naturalism have it out for Plato's Theory of Forms? Why is this such a big deal? I don't understand. For example there was handout in my Logic class from Prof. Ownby and on it, it seemed to addresse this idea

Plato argues for essentialism, that everything, including human beings have a particular essence. Evolution of species repudiates essentialism, which would require species to be eternally fixed.

Yes, I am "completely" retired and won't be back to teach my critical thinking about the paranormal class. I loved that class and hope SCC will find somebody to teach it in my absence.
