Author | Topic: How do you define the word Evolution? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Dredge Member (Idle past 101 days) Posts: 2850 From: Australia Joined: |
The nested hierarchy of descent from common ancestors within the spacial-temporal matrix? Ah yes, I'd remember doing an assignment on this in Grade 5 in primary school. You seem to have overlooked that this is just a theory, so it's a bit much to expect special creation to explain some dubious evolutionary theory.

Thank you for that very interesting information. But somewhere in the mix a human being contains more genetic information than an amoeba.

How did you arrive at those numbers? Chicko gave them to me.

Thank you, but I would like to see Taq's definition.

And you are pathetically, ludicrously wrong. Actually, you're right; so I'll go back to something like my original definition of evolution. In biology, the word, "evolution" can't be separated from Darwin's theory, which obviously has common descent at it's core. The gratuitous, ubiquitous and misleading use of the word, "evolution" in the biological sciences is always an allusion to Darwinism, which I reject as false, useless and irrelevant. So to hell with ToE, just give me biology and I'll be happy. As Danno used to say, "Just the facts, ma'am." (Danno would have made an excellent biologist ... but a lousy evolutionist.) When I become King of Australia I'll ban the teaching of ToE at all levels of education, thereby draining the swamp that the once-noble science of biology has become, liberating and cleansing it from the mendacious theology of atheist cultism. Evolution = Biology + the atheist cult of Darwinism

Pressie writes: Without a unit of measurement you can't make such a claim I can make such a claim and I just did. DNA is an instruction manual for building a machine. A human machine is much more complex than an amoeba machine, therefore much more information is needed in the human's instruction manual. Compare the contents of an instruction manual to build an mouse trap compared to the contents of instruction manual to build a space shuttle. Simple, common sense logic, my friend.

I not sure. Perhaps 200 infos. But I'll show it to Chicko and let him work it out exactly.

Taq writes: The theory of evolution explains why we see this pattern of shared derived features. Yes of course it does ... and there is no other possible explanation, right? Stephen Jay Gould said that the fossil record is characterised by "sudden appearance" and "stasis", which he attributed to Punctuated Equilibrium. However, sudden appearance and stasis can also be attributed to creation.

Yes, yes, thank you for this. I had forgotten some of it, as it's been a long time since we covered this stuff in Grade 5 of primary school. There are factual points (microevolution) mixed in with some evo-speculation by atheist paleontologists (who, of course, can always be relied on to tell the truth). More Darwinism masquerading as science ... y-a-w-n.

CRR writes: the lack of correlation between phenotype complexity and genone size is known as the C-Value Paradox Thanks, cobber. Well, no wonder it called a "Paradox" because it pretty bloody weird and counter-intuitive! My fragile, egg-shell mind is still reeling form this revelation! Chicko advised to take two Bex and have a good lay down, but I think the C-Value Paradox has caused me irreparable brain damage. Biology is freakin' dangerous! I'm wearing a helmet from now on.

Taq writes: The question is why would you reject the conclusion of a universal common ancestor when we have mountains of evidence to support the conclusion Mountains of pseudo-evidence, more like it. I smell a rat; a very big rat.
Why the obsession with definitions?
Er, what you refer to as an "obsession with definitions" might have something to with the fact that the topic we are discussing is entitled, "How do you define the word Evolution?"

I can't answer your card question as I don't play cards - not intelligent enough. Once I tried to play "Snap!" and it gave me brain damage.
