dictionary definitions of orthogenesis

[John Grehan]

The dictionary definitions supplied by Don McAllister all appear to
indicate the influence of
popular evolutionary texts by Darwinian evolutionists.

>direction.

The idea of evolution in one direction is not the "essence" of orthogenesis. The
idea that orthogensis was restricted to a "linear" evolution was promoted by
Darwinians and then denounced because evolution involved divergence.
