Trust me, this is the internet. I certainly would never make up or pad my resume. Lucky for me, I don't need to.Don't mess up his concentration...I want to know his scientific credentials other than clicking a Link.You mean this is the 3rd time you reposted the same junk?Yes he did. That was in fact his supreme accomplishment and you may have heard of it: natural selection.Did Darwin, the guy you worship, provide the 'how it happened'???Interesting, you know how it didn't happen but not how it did happen. You disappoint me again.No one knows.Disappointing at best.
The question you have steadfastly refused to answer is where do new species come from? Seems like there are only a few options:
You obviously don't have an answer or you'd have shared it with us. Why you insist on cutting and pasting your ignorance is beyond me.
- supernatural creation
- evolution
- aliens intervention
- we're all in the Matrix
Darwin gave his view.....I proved it wrong.
You're not very bright, are you.
The fossil record.Who says change occurs?What does? Natural selection operating on the natural variation within a population. Not all my children are the same height as I am.Sooo.....if mutations don't fit Darwin.......what does?
Or, can we simply admit that at this time, no one can explain the vast array of life forms.
How does change occur?Change occurs….I hesitate to call it ‘evolution’ because the uninformed tend to consider that agreement with Darwin.
I, for one, will not be around a billion years from now to see a dog become a human.
I have, though, seen humans become dogs.
This is the third time I'm correcting the same error, you moron.
Breeders and farmers practiced 'natural selection' from time immemorial.
And never has the modification, the alteration, produced a new species.
Animal husbandry, farming domestication, is based on the sort of random modifications that Darwin was getting at. No one doubts it. It was practiced well before Darwin. But while these folks knew that these modifications are almost always harmful, and deadly, the changes are always within limit of the species.
Darwin said they accumulate until a new species is the result. This has never happened. And that’s where Darwinism deviates into a political view, and not a scientific one.
In 1997, evolutionary biologist Keith Stewart Thomson wrote: “A matter of unfinished business for biologists is the identification of evolution's smoking gun,” and “the smoking gun of evolution is speciation, not local adaptation and differentiation of populations.” Before Darwin, the consensus was that species can vary only within certain limits; indeed, centuries of artificial selection had seemingly demonstrated such limits experimentally.
“Darwin had to show that the limits could be broken,” wrote Thomson, “so do we.” Keith Stewart Thomson, “Natural Selection and Evolution’s Smoking Gun,” American Scientist 85 (1997): 516-518.
And….
“Breeders have been using artificial selection to produce descent with modification for centuries—within existing species. Natural selection has also been observed to do the same in the wild—but again, only within existing species.”
Jonathan Wells
Thus, anyone who claims that Darwinian Evolution is a ‘fact, proven,’ is proof of the government school political persuasion, and knows nothing of science.
Raise your paw.
Ironically, yesterday I was listening to a podcast by a friend of my daughter. She is a science writer and she said there are species of microbes and insects that are found no where in nature except the homes of people. Seems evolution is happening whether you believe in it or not.
So, I’m looking for evidence to determine exactly when your cerebrum entered the dead zone, and based on my extensive experience watching CSI, I know that I should check for signs of insect activity: let’s call in the entomologist to pin down the exact moment of pupation!
