ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the author argues that much of it is really still there, indeed that it has re-emerged in a deeper form, but that in the process of debating with each other over such a long period of time the people have become adept at phrasing the arguments in a way that anticipates the counterarguments. On the contrary, part of the author argument in the chapter is that via the process of selection acting on the features that express rationality precisely those physical sequences that mirror the rationality have emerged. It is of course the reference to future events somehow determining present happenings that appears to cause so much offence to the natural inclinations of traditional scientific explanation. Indeed it would be a major advantage for it not to be so.
