Re: DNA
Hi crash,
crashfrog writes:
It will produce whatever amino acid sequence is specified by the sequence of base pairs in the mRNA.
Is this mRNA strand formed by the DNA in the necleus of the cell?
crashfrog writes:
Obviously mRNA doesn't come from the nucleus of cells that have no nuclei. mRNA can also come from viruses.
Are you sure you are not a lawyer? You sure do use a lot of misdirection.
crashfrog writes:
It's not a matter of anything being "translated", that's just an analogy for the binding specificity of tRNA.
Eliminate the tRNA and what result would you get?
crashfrog writes:
"Orders" and "translation" and "instructions" are just analogies for the process.. What is happening is chemistry. Ribosomes don't "get orders." tRNA doesn't "translate" anything.
Is this information incorrect?
Function of tRNA
While mRNA contains the "message" as to how to sequence amino acids into a chain, tRNA is the actual translator. Translation of the language of RNA into the language of protein is possible, because there are many forms of tRNA, each representing an amino acid (protein building block) and able to link with an RNA codon. Thus, for instance, the tRNA molecule for the amino acid alanine has an area or binding site for alanine and another binding site for the three RNA nucleotides, the codon, for alanine.
Translation Occurs in Ribosomes
The process of translating RNA codon sequences into amino acid sequences and thus into specific proteins actually is called "translation." It occurs in ribosomes, which are made of rRNA and a variety of proteins. During translation, a strand of mRNA passes through a ribosome, like an old-fashion cassette tape moving through a tape reader. As the mRNA moves through, tRNA molecules carrying the appropriate amino acid bind to the RNA codon to which they are matched, and the sequence of amino acids is put together.
crashfrog writes:
No, completely wrong. Chemical processes are statistical and random; it's precisely because these are chemical reactions that "errors" - another analogy - can occur.
Then explain to me how my combining baking soda and vinigar can produce two different reactions by being combined.
I do know that there are a lot of combinations of chemicals that can be made by the instructions that is stored in the DNA of the human cell. But none of those combinations can be made without the information in the DNA. Therefore they are not random. Even the mis-copying that gets through is not random. It takes place because the wrong information is in the mRNA and acted upon in the ribomsome by the tRNA.
If the DNA does its job and copies the proper sequence to the mRNA and the tRNA acts upon that information in the ribosome the requested protein is created.
If the DNA mis-copies the instructions the correcton process takes over and cuts and splices the proper information to the mRNA and the tRNA acts upon this information in the ribosome and the requested protein is created.
Very few of these errors ever get through and of those that do most are said to be deadly some netural and some beneficial.
So how could there ever be enough small errors to bring about the 'Macro-Evolution' (transmutation) in creatures that is required to get from a single cell life form to the present life forms plus the 99% of all life forms that are extinct?
Then if it did happen why isn't there at least one verified instance of 'Macro-Evolution' occuring?
God Bless,

Re: 'Macro-Evolution'
Hi crash,
crashfrog writes:
Sure. They say there's no first-hand evidence of macroevolutionary history. Not of "macroevolution".
They don't say what you said they said, as I said.
What is the difference in the history of 'Macro-Evolution' and
'Macro-Evolution'?
Why did they say "Instead, we reconstruct the history of life using all available evidence: geology, fossils, and living organisms. "
They don't have a history so they put one together.
Then they say, "Once we've figured out what evolutionary events have taken place, we try to figure out how they happened. "
So we have to figure out what happened then we figure out how it happened but we have no history to tell us how it happened.
That means there is no direct verifiable evidence for 'Macro-Evolution"
crashfrog writes:
I'm not old enough to give you a first-hand account, and even if I could - that account would be second-hand to you.
A first hand account to me would be a verifiable account of
'Macro-Evolution' occuring. At least one of those should be in the history of 'Macro-Evolution'. Oh but we don't have a history to go on. We have assertions and assumptions.
And I have said I will not argue with talkorigins.
The rules says I should not have to and you should not present them.
5. Bare links with no supporting discussion should be avoided. Make the argument in your own words and use links as supporting references.
Now if you want to discuss one of those 29 evidences please present it and explain what you are affirming from that evidence.

ICANT, this is a test.
We have the following passages from:
29+ Evidences for Macroevolution: The Scientific Case for Common Descent
Version 2.87, Copyright 1999-2006 by Douglas Theobald, Ph.D.
29+ Evidences for Macroevolution: The Scientific Case for Common Descent
[V]ery complete fossil records should be smoothly connected geographically. Intermediates should be found close to their fossil ancestors.
The Equidae (i.e. horse) fossil record is very complete (though extremely complex) and makes very good geographical sense, without any large spatial jumps between intermediates. For instance, at least ten intermediate fossil horse genera span the past 58 million years. Each fossil genus spans approximately 5 million years, and each of these genera includes several intermediate paleospecies (usually 5 or 6 in each genus) that link the preceding and following fossil intermediates. They range from the earliest genus, Hyracotherium, which somewhat resembled a dog, through Orohippus, Epihippus, Mesohippus, Miohippus, Parahippus, Merychippus, Dinohippus, Equus, to Modern Equus. Every single one of the fossil ancestors of the modern horse are found on the North American continent (MacFadden 1992, pp. 99, 156-162). For more detail about the known evolution of the Equidae, consult Kathleen Hunt's thorough FAQ on Horse Evolution.
I could argue that the beautiful continuious transformation of Hyracotherium into Equus is false. I was taught this line in the school.
Gorge G Simpson in Life of The Past on pg. 119 agrees it did not happen.
In fact Kathleen Hunt in the FAQ referenced in your quote explains it very well.
I could also make the argument that the wide spans of time with no changes raised questions as to the process taking place.
I could argue that the absence of transitional forms raises doubts as to the process.
I could raise the question of the three toes to one as presented concerning the process, raising questions as the South American story is from one toe to three toes.
But since I know creatures can change over time as I have preformed the experiments myself on the farm why should I deny that change takes place. Things can evolve and devolve.
If you will enlarge my avatar you will see a animal the size of the Hyracotherium. Since the only pictures we have of the Hyracotherium is an artist rendition of what somebody thought the Hyracotherium looked like they could be the same animal except for the feet and teeth.
Since all those modifications could be and was made by microevolution where is the 'Macro-Evolution'?
Since everybody here screams they are different critters when they can't breed I would like to put forth my avatar animals as evidence that is a false assertion and assumption.
There is no way the stallion, the big horse can breed with the mare, small horse in my avatar.
Now if you want to get 'Macro-Evolution' in the horse picture you would need the critter that produced the Hyracotherium, and you might or might not have one. But that critter has not been found and we don't know what it looked like or what it was.
God Bless,

hi ICANT, from reading your posts in this thread it appears that you accept that speciation has taken place:
I am a farm raised person who has taken wild hogs we called piney-woods rooters that could survive on little food and water who weighed less than a hundred pounds. Through selective, breeding produced animals that weighed over 700 pounds that could survive on small amounts of food and water.
Could the 700 pound product breed with the less than 100 pound variety? No
Were they both hogs? Yes.
Are they classified as different species? Yes, go figure.
To me they are just a different variety of the same thing.

JRTjr writes:
I want to vary specific here, when I say Macro-Evolution I am speaking only of a scale of analysis of evolution in separated gene pools. Macroevolutionary studies focus on change that occurs at or above the level of species, in contrast with microevolution, which refers to smaller evolutionary changes (typically described as changes in allele frequencies) within a species or population. {Quoted from Wikipedia.org}
Just so we are on the same page when writing our posts, I am using the definition of 'Macro-Evolution' as presented in the OP.
it would seem as though you accept at least one instance of macro evolution.
What instance of 'Macro-Evolution' are you talking about?
You highlighted: "at or above the level of species," as if at speciation was the event of speciation. The definition would carry no such meaning. The at would mean that speciation has already taken place.
So no My avatar is of a very large horse and a very small horse. They both are 100% horse with over 2000 pounds of flesh and bone difference. It would be physically impossible for them to breed. So according to the definition of species they are two different creatures.

Can you tell me when anyone has attemmpted this?
In the early 1900's many tried to create a separate mule breed of animals. Was scientist interested is this no. But farmers wanted a work animal that could reproduce and be evolved into a bigger animal than the one produced by an ass and a horse.
Now as far as my discussing DNA and information I will cease to talk about or answer posts that do in this thread. It seems to be pulling this thread further OT than intended. As I wanted to tie the two together.
I will at a later date begin a thread on the origin of information, the information contained in the DNA, and its purpose.

Re: Micro Macro
Hi frako,

Well because macro is loads of micro evolutions, when enough micro evolutions acure that we can call it a new species we call it macro evolution.
Berkeley writes:
Macroevolution generally refers to evolution above the species level. So instead of focusing on an individual beetle species, a macroevolutionary lens might require that we zoom out on the tree of life, to assess the diversity of the entire beetle clade and its position on the tree.

'Macro-Evolution' takes place after speciation has taken place.
So when my two horse in my avatar could not breed 'Macro-Evolution' had not occured. It just got to the point they could not breed because of size of the animals.

moste definitions one is a member of the same species if one can sucsessfuly mate and produce an offspring that can do the same.
1. Two strains of fruit flies lost the ability to interbreed and produce fertile offspring in the lab over a 4-year span ... i.e. they became two new species.
Do we have two fruit flies that can not breed?
If we have two fruit flies that can not breed where is the 'Macro-Evolution'?
We only have two fruit flies that can not breed.

2. A new plant species, created by a doubling of the chromosome count from the original stock
I remember my tobacco growing days and we had many species of tobacco. Some produced low tonage crops with high quality and othere produced high tonage crops with lower quality. But they were all tobacco with nicotine that would kill you in them.
fraco writes:
3. Multiple species of the house mouse unique to the Faeroe Islands occurred within 250 years of introduction of a foundation species on the island.
Why do you call them "multiple species of the house mouse"?
Is it because they were all mouses?
If they were all mouses where is the 'Macro-Evolution'?
fraco writes:
Now if you wait a while i will provide some links if i find them cause i know you will not take my word for it.
I will take your word for what you said above that I quoted.
But if you want to present 'Macro-Evolution' you need to provide an instance of one critter becoming a totaly different critter.
When that fruit fly ceases to be a fruit fly.
When that mouse ceases to be a mouse.
I would ask for something other than your word for that.

So I take a few skulls of apes, monkeys and chimpanzees and homo sapiens and says that is 'Macro-Evolution'. I have no idea what the common ancestor was, I don't know when it went extinct but if it went extinct before homo sapiens began to exist how do you tie them to the common ancestor? If the homo sapiens came from the same common ancestor that apes did then that common ancestor existed 195,000 tya. Why don't we have fossils of that common ancestor? Why don't we have a 25 my record of the line of homo sapiens back to the ancestor apes divided from?
Where is the 'Macro-Evolution' history?
Taq writes:
Then just produce one instance of 'Macro-Evolution' that is verifiable.
That would be the transition between the common ancestor of chimps and humans and modern humans. It is verified by these fossils:
http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/comdesc/images/hominids2.jpg
What is the common ancestor of chimps and humans?
You have pictures of 14 different skulls and some of them only being fragments.
The only thing you verified by these pictures is that a creature with that skull existed at one time. Anything else you claim is verified is nothing more than a conclusion.
Taq writes:
Then it should pose no problem for you to take your bare web site presentation and search it out and present one verifible instance of 'Macro-Evolution' that has taken place.
"Boraas (1983) reported the induction of multicellularity in a strain of Chlorella pyrenoidosa (since reclassified as C. vulgaris) by predation. He was growing the unicellular green alga in the first stage of a two stage continuous culture system as for food for a flagellate predator, Ochromonas sp., that was growing in the second stage. Due to the failure of a pump, flagellates washed back into the first stage. Within five days a colonial form of the Chlorella appeared. It rapidly came to dominate the culture. The colony size ranged from 4 cells to 32 cells. Eventually it stabilized at 8 cells. This colonial form has persisted in culture for about a decade. The new form has been keyed out using a number of algal taxonomic keys. They key out now as being in the genus Coelosphaerium, which is in a different family from Chlorella."
Observed Instances of Speciation
The evolution of multicellularity. That is definitely macroevolution.
I thought it said the multicellularity was induced.

I am sure he changed a lot during the trip you described one being that he would be very, very, very old.
But if he is still a man when he arrives no 'Macro-Evolution' has occured. Whether the journey took a week or a billion years, and no matter how many pictures of that man you had along the way.

Not one verifiable instance of 'Macro-Evolution' has not been shown to have occured.
In fact no good argumentation has been presented to support such a position.
Circumstantial evidence along with assertions and bull headed conclusions has been presented in this thread as evidence of verifiable instances of 'Macro-Evolution' having occured.
The problem is none of those are verifiable instances of

Macroevolution is the process by which the history of macroevolution occurred.
Are you telling me you don't understand the difference between something, and the history of that something? If you can't tell the difference between the past and the present educating you is going to be beyond the scope of this forum.
'Macro-Evolution' is the process that is proposed to explain how we and all other creatures extinct or living arrived on planet earth from a single cell life form.
The history of 'Macro-Evolution' would be a detailed account of how that process took place to date.
Anything short of a detailed account is a partial history.
When you have gaps of millions of years you do not have a complete history.

We do not have a 4.6 billion years of history. We have a book of 4.6 million years with many chapters covering millions of years missing.

So, you're admitting that whenever we show you evidence, you'll simply not look at it.
If you want me to look at it present your argumentation along with the link. I can then read your reasoning and check your link for confirmation.
If you make an assertion and present a link, why should I even consider it?

Hi fraco,

You and most Creos do not understand micro and macro evoulution are only terms used in 1927 to describe the same phenomenon on a diferent scale.
Micro evolution is when changes acure in the species, and macro when changes acure above the species level.
So micro is when say a breed of mice grow longer fur and can still mate whit the mice that did not evolve longer fur, macro is when enough micros happen that they cannot mate anymore whit the mice that did not evolve this way.
Well this creationist believes that your mice that can not breed with other mice is still mice.
When they cease to be mice then 'Macro-Evolution' will have taken place.

For instance all dogs are the same species cause they can all mate and produce fertile offspring,
If that is true could you tell me where I could pick up a cross between a Great Dane and a Chihuahua?
fraco writes:
The mice that where left on that island 250 years ago all came from the same breed though enough micro evoulution happend that they cannot mate whit their naighburing mice who also came from the same parrents, and they cannot mate whit the original mice mice breed, and neither can you mate them whit other mice brreds and then mate them whit the original or their naighbur so enough micros happend to call it macro evolution.
You can call it anything you want to call it. But if you start with two mice and a billion years later you got trillions of mice and billions of them can not breed with each other because of changes or habits you still got trillions of mice, whether they can breed with each other or not.
So call it what you will it is not 'Macro-Evolution'.
God Bless,

Macro-evolution is the sum of micro-evolution over time.
I am still waiting for anyone to present a verifiable instance of
'Macro-Evolution'. That is enough of those little micro-evolution events over time to transform one creature into a totaly different creature.

Er ... but they are different.
I don't see how the big stallion and the little mare in my avatar can breed and produce an offspring.
They are both classified as horses.
So where is the difference other than size?

Re: Mating
Hi fraco,
fraco writes:
It is not about physical impossebility but genetic imposibility of mating
I buy that statement.
It is possible for a stallion and a Heffer to mate. But it is impossible for them to produce offspring.
Now if they could produce offspring that could in return produce offspring I would call that 'Macro-Evolution'.
