In Search Of ... Biological Essentialism

Leonard Nimoy (d. 2015) hosted the TV show "InSearch Of ..." from 1976 to 1982.  Nimoy wrote I Am Not Spock (1975) as well as I Am Spock (2015).  Nimoy's show explored lost civilizations, early global navigation, myths, monsters (such as the Loch Ness Monster), unexplained phenomena and other great mysteries.  In Search Of featured the work of scientists and other researchers.  One episode tackled the Dead Sea Scrolls.  One show dealt with mixing genes from different species and taking a "philosophical look at the essence of life at its molecular level."  Aristotle favored the stasis of basic kinds.  Now we are in the realm of Biological Essentialism (#BioEss) - the view that there exists Essential Types of Life (ETL's) with fixed limits.

Sadly, when Trump told the crowd to go home in peace on Jan. 6th, 2021, his video was banned by Twitter.  I would have attended the rally, if the logistics would have worked out. 

 

Back in the mid-2000's, when net censorship was a not a primary worry, a Ray Comfort (Living Waters) video was in the Top Ten!  Do you recall the video with

Kirk Cameron (Growing Pains) where Ray talks about how a banana is "finely tuned" for human consumption?  Here is a graphic from the show (adapted):

I heard Ray Comfort, Kirk Cameron and Ken Ham (former Science teacher from Aussie Land) speak in Fort Worth ages ago.

 

Have you tried Swiss Cows or Yandex lately?  Search "biological essentialism" on Yandex and the seventh result pulls up my YouTube channel.  If you purvey biological essentialism without quotes, then the third hit is my YouTube page and the sixth hit is my answer on Quora to the query "What is biological  essentialism?"  We used several browsers and Swiss Cows to search on the topic "biological essentialism" (with quotes).  My most recent book Biological Essentialism came up eighth or ninth in the rankings and a graphic to one of my blog posts was either first or second:

In the last chapter of my latest book, Biological Essentialism, I touch on the connection between the fixity of basic types of organisms and Young Earth Theory Intelligence (#YETI).
