Paul,
Minsky's theorem doesn't tell you that the only relevant effect is NS, nor does it tell you if there is enough time for NS to create our biosphere.
Chris likes to rubbish morphic resonance at least once a week, and I think he doesn't realise that theories often start off as tentative gropings after the truth.
I respect Rupert Sheldrake because he doesn't pepper his ideas with a large theoretical superstructure that is not justified by the facts, he concentrates on exposing facts that suggest Ψ, but then falls foul of Chris for not having a complete theory!
I guess that if drugs become less effective with time then SOMETHING has to have a memory. In the case of antibiotics, the reason for the change is obvious, but for other drugs, who knows?
