dhw The idea that natural selection is the key to the origin of species is frankly absurd. Natural selection does not create anything. It only works on what already exists.

I see nothing absurd about it at all. It's just basic Darwinian evolution.

As to the work of Shapiro. As I've said I've not looked into his theories before.
However it does seem there may be something in his ideas, but they remain controversial,
particularly as they seem to attract the interest of ID creationists.
The following link seems to be a balanced assessment, though short on detail.
