Tossing Those Terms Around

1. The truth of the matter is that government school grads have only the most superficial knowledge of most things, except how wonderful Liberalism is, but certainly the least of all about science.This is probably the reason why so many of them ascribe absolute correctness to the false theory of evolution, Darwinism.

To hide this lacunae, they love terms like ‘common ancestor,’ ‘fossil record,’ and most of all, ‘survival of the fittest.’ And one example that the cling to is the imagined production of new bacterial species due to the use of pharmaceuticals.



2. In 2001, the U.S. Public Broadcasting System (PBS) televised a pro-Darwin series accompanied by a book, Evolution: The Triumph of an Idea, which claimed: “The resistance that bacteria have to many antibiotics didn’t just happen: it unfolded ac- cording to the principles of natural selection, as the bacteria with the best genes for fighting the drugs prospered. Without understanding evolution, a researcher has little hope of figuring out how to create new drugs and determine how they should be administered.” Carl Zimmer, “Evolution: The Triumph of an Idea,” p. 336.

3. “English microbiologist Alexander Fleming discovered the first antibiotic: penicillin. Fleming noticed a culture dish of staph bacteria on which a mold spore had settled. Remarkably, there were no staph colonies around the mold, suggesting that the latter was producing a substance that killed or inhibited the staph bacteria. The mold was a species of Penicillium (another species of which is used to make blue cheese), and Fleming’s training in microbiology enabled him to turn this serendipitous observation into a major medical breakthrough.
See Alexander Fleming, “On the antibacterial action of cultures of a Penicillium, with special reference to their use in the isolation of B. influenzae ,” British Journal of Experimental Pathology 10 (1929), 226–36. Wainwright, Miracle Cure, Chapter 2.



4. Here’s the problem:

“The concept of the ‘struggle for existence’ has been applied to microbial interrelationships in nature in a manner comparable to the effects assigned by Darwin to higher forms of life. It has also been suggested that the ability of a microbe to produce an antibiotic sub- stance enables it to survive in competition for space and for nutrients with other microbes. Such assumptions appear to be totally unjustified on the basis of existing knowledge. . . . All the discussion of a ‘struggle for existence,’ in which antibiotics are supposed to play a part, is merely a figment of the imagination, and an appeal to the melodramatic rather than the factual.” Nobel laureate Selman Waksman, 1956



5. Sooooo.....attributing bacterial resistance to antibiotics and pharmaceuticals.......hardly an example of understanding the science.

I suspect that your preferred cure for disease consisting of prayer and rattling bones is inferior to medicine,

You need more ''quotes'' from Harun Yahya,

" The earliest evidence we have of public health and sanitary practices is found in the first five books of the Bible, the Pentateuch.

In these writings, the Israelites were instructed to isolate, and if necessary quarantine, those who were sick.1 They were to destroy contaminated objects,2 to burn used dressings,3 and to bury fecal waste outside of the camp.4 The Israelites were prohibited from eatansing animals which had died of natural causes.5 They were also admonished to practise personal hygiene by hand-washing and keeping clean, and to take certain precautions when touching the infected or deceased.6"

What does the science of atheism have?

6. Penicillin was not an ‘overnight success.’ Fleming published in 1929, but it was a full decade until the chemists Ernst Chain and Howard Florey, succeeded in purifying and concentrating the antibiotic enough to make it clinically useful. None of these three scientists saw any role for Darwinism in their work. (Jonathan Wells).

Not Fleming, nor Chain, nor Florey saw any hand of Darwinian evolution in the success.



Ernst Chain (who was Jewish) made it clear that he had no use for Darwinism at all. “The Darwin-Wallace theory of evolution,” he said, “is based on such flimsy assumptions, mainly of morphological-anatomical nature that it can hardly be called a theory... I would rather believe in fairies than in such wild speculation.”





7. When Fleming received the Nobel Prize, he attributed his success, thus:

“… destiny may play a large part in discovery. It was destiny which contaminated my culture plate in 1928 – it was destiny which led Chain and Florey in 1938 to investigate penicillin instead of the many other antibiotics which had then been described and it was destiny that timed their work to come to fruition in war-time when penicillin was most needed.

It may be that while we think we are masters of the situation we are merely pawns being moved about on the board of life by some superior power.”
The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1945

Now, what could that be?

So what?

Why is Darwinism, proven false, taught as factual in government school?

Where was it proven false?

 

[PoliticalChic]

Such assumptions appear to be totally unjustified on the basis of existing knowledge.

ALL knowledge evolves.

I've seen your posts.....yours doesn't.

1. The truth of the matter is that government school grads have only the most superficial knowledge of most things, except how wonderful Liberalism is, but certainly the least of all about science.This is probably the reason why so many of them ascribe absolute correctness to the false theory of evolution, Darwinism.

To hide this lacunae, they love terms like ‘common ancestor,’ ‘fossil record,’ and most of all, ‘survival of the fittest.’ And one example that the cling to is the imagined production of new bacterial species due to the use of pharmaceuticals.



2. In 2001, the U.S. Public Broadcasting System (PBS) televised a pro-Darwin series accompanied by a book, Evolution: The Triumph of an Idea, which claimed: “The resistance that bacteria have to many antibiotics didn’t just happen: it unfolded ac- cording to the principles of natural selection, as the bacteria with the best genes for fighting the drugs prospered. Without understanding evolution, a researcher has little hope of figuring out how to create new drugs and determine how they should be administered.” Carl Zimmer, “Evolution: The Triumph of an Idea,” p. 336.

3. “English microbiologist Alexander Fleming discovered the first antibiotic: penicillin. Fleming noticed a culture dish of staph bacteria on which a mold spore had settled. Remarkably, there were no staph colonies around the mold, suggesting that the latter was producing a substance that killed or inhibited the staph bacteria. The mold was a species of Penicillium (another species of which is used to make blue cheese), and Fleming’s training in microbiology enabled him to turn this serendipitous observation into a major medical breakthrough.
See Alexander Fleming, “On the antibacterial action of cultures of a Penicillium, with special reference to their use in the isolation of B. influenzae ,” British Journal of Experimental Pathology 10 (1929), 226–36. Wainwright, Miracle Cure, Chapter 2.



4. Here’s the problem:

“The concept of the ‘struggle for existence’ has been applied to microbial interrelationships in nature in a manner comparable to the effects assigned by Darwin to higher forms of life. It has also been suggested that the ability of a microbe to produce an antibiotic sub- stance enables it to survive in competition for space and for nutrients with other microbes. Such assumptions appear to be totally unjustified on the basis of existing knowledge. . . . All the discussion of a ‘struggle for existence,’ in which antibiotics are supposed to play a part, is merely a figment of the imagination, and an appeal to the melodramatic rather than the factual.” Nobel laureate Selman Waksman, 1956



5. Sooooo.....attributing bacterial resistance to antibiotics and pharmaceuticals.......hardly an example of understanding the science.

Such assumptions appear to be totally unjustified on the basis of existing knowledge. . . . All the discussion of a ‘struggle for existence,’ in which antibiotics are supposed to play a part, is merely a figment of the imagination, and an appeal to the melodramatic rather than the factual.

Why?

Science is based on experimental results.

Yes.

And antibiotic resistant bacteria are not merely "a figment of the imagination" as the quote you posted claims.

It's being caused by a need by the organism to survive, is.

I will provide a note on Larmarian/Lysenkoism Darwinism in a later post.

It's being caused by a need by the organism to survive, is.

Organisms killed by antibiotics don't survive to reproduce.

This is exactly the sort of lack of science education that made this thread necessary.

You couldn't be more incorrect if your aim was to be incorrect.

This note is REALLY gonna get under the scales of the Militant Secularists......


6. Penicillin was not an ‘overnight success.’ Fleming published in 1929, but it was a full decade until the chemists Ernst Chain and Howard Florey, succeeded in purifying and concentrating the antibiotic enough to make it clinically useful. None of these three scientists saw any role for Darwinism in their work. (Jonathan Wells).

Not Fleming, nor Chain, nor Florey saw any hand of Darwinian evolution in the success.



Ernst Chain (who was Jewish) made it clear that he had no use for Darwinism at all. “The Darwin-Wallace theory of evolution,” he said, “is based on such flimsy assumptions, mainly of morphological-anatomical nature that it can hardly be called a theory... I would rather believe in fairies than in such wild speculation.”





7. When Fleming received the Nobel Prize, he attributed his success, thus:

“… destiny may play a large part in discovery. It was destiny which contaminated my culture plate in 1928 – it was destiny which led Chain and Florey in 1938 to investigate penicillin instead of the many other antibiotics which had then been described and it was destiny that timed their work to come to fruition in war-time when penicillin was most needed.

It may be that while we think we are masters of the situation we are merely pawns being moved about on the board of life by some superior power.”
The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1945

Now, what could that be?

Not Fleming, nor Chain, nor Florey saw any hand of Darwinian evolution in the success.

So what?

Why is Darwinism, proven false, taught as factual in government school?

Where was it proven false?

Here is one example.


According to Mendel, “heredity involves the transmission of stable factors that determine an organism’s traits. Although the factors can be mixed and matched during reproduction, they remain discrete and unchanging from one generation to the next.” Although we now use the term ‘gene,’ the term didn’t come about until 1909.



“Darwin’s view of heredity was quite different. He believed that every cell in an organism produces “gemmules” that transmit characteristics to the next generation in a blending process he called “pangenesis.” The advantage of Darwin’s view was that gemmules could be changed by external conditions, or by use and disuse, and thus account for evolutionary change. The disadvantage of Darwin’s view was that it was false.” Charles Darwin, The Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication ,Chapter XXVII. Charles Darwin, On the Origin of Species, Sixth Edition, Chapter V. See also Chapters I and VI. Bowler, Evolution: The History of an Idea, 171, 190, 210, 250–52. (comment by Jonathan Wells)




Today, no one believes that ‘use and disuse’ idea, soooo….where did those ‘variations’ come from?

So Darwin was as correct as folks who believe in Darwinism today: simply tricked.

5. Sooooo.....attributing bacterial resistance to antibiotics and pharmaceuticals.......hardly an example of understanding the science.

Nice retelling of the story of Fleming, but nothing to support your position in point #5.

I've explained it to you.....


....but I can't comprehend it for you.

You cannot comprehend it for yourself. Try an a=b, b=c, a=c linear argument.
