This is nothing but “pathetic denial” as previously said by another informed evolutionist "LegionOnomaMoi". If you were confident about your stance, you wouldn’t deny the facts. It’s pathetic. See his post # 2266.Denis Noble is acclaimed in his area of expertise. Evolution is not his area of expertise. You just used an appeal to false authority fallacy.
And you are right, a physiological journal, not an evolutionary biology journal published that non peer reviewed article. You just hit your foot with that shot. And the journal does have peer reviewed articles in it. But not all of them are reviewed. Your favorite article was not reviewed.

Again, it’s not about Noble but rather the latest 21st century scientific finds through the work of numerous scientists. Your empty denial wouldn’t change a thing.
First, in his lecture, Noble presented the work of many other prominent scientists that he specifically referenced such as Mattick JS, Shapiro JA, Müller GB, Nelson VR, Heaney JD, Tesar PJ, Davidson NO, Nadeau JH, Jablonka E & Lamb M, Beurton PJ, Falk R & Rheinberger H.-J, Pigliucci M, Gissis SB & Jablonka E, Melham T, Bard J, Werner E.
Second, Noble's paper in question (#753 & #781) is not the only paper that challenged/disproved all the fundamental assumptions of Neo-Darwinism. Many other papers/scientists did the same, see #4087 for other papers by Peter A. Corning, Radomir Crkvenjakov, Henry H. Heng, Edward J. Steele, Reginald M. Gorczynski, Robyn A. Lindley, Yongsheng Liu, Robert Temple, Gensuke Tokoro, Dayal T. Wickramasinghe, N. Chandra Wickramasinghe, Gerd B. Müller.
Third, Suzan Mazur book “The Paradigm Shifters: Overthrowing 'the Hegemony of the Culture of Darwin.” The book is presenting evidence by major scientists from a dozen countries for a paradigm shift that is underway replacing Neo-Darwinism. Denis Noble is only one of several scientists who have overturned Neo-Darwinism, along with many other top scientists such as: James A. Shapiro, Frantisek Baluska, Ricardo Flores, Nigel Goldenfeld, Eugene Koonin, Kalevi Kull, Eviatar Nevo, Peter Saunders, Stuart Newman, Luis P Villarreal, Carl Richard Woese and others.
Fourth, See the links below for the scientific dissent from Darwinism that includes numerous scientists.

That said, It’s not really about how many on each side of the argument, that would be a fallacious “argumentum ad populum”, but rather it’s about latest scientific finds and the strong challenges against Neo-Darwinism posed by many prominent scientists beyond what can be denied or ignored by any rational and informed person.
