YAWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So we are over 100 posts into this thread with almost thirty posts from our resident troll Davidjay and still not a single post related to the topic of "Selection".
As usual Davidjay has posted nothing but word salad and irrelevancies.

Re: Creationism wins again....
So you make one more content free post and STILL have not addressed the topic which is " Debunking the Evolutionary God of 'Selection' ".
Do you ever plan on addressing the topic?
Are you capable of even understanding what "addressing the topic" means?

A fairly big example of selection
There is an identifiable layer found all around the world; the K/T boundary. It's a really distinct layer, easily visible, with a specific chemical composition. The reason it is pointed out as an example of selection is that there are lots of evidence of specific critters found below the boundary that have never been found above the boundary.
This is selection writ large. Big land dwelling critters that existed before the event that created the layer died.
The fact that it is found world-wide and through chemical analysis can be tied to a specific type event and even to a specific event and that specific types of critters went extinct show that selection is not random.

Does the theory of evolution require a gain of copious quantities of genetic information?
No, of course not.
CRR writes:
Both versions believe that the all life on Earth is ascended from primitive ancestors. Darwin lacked the evidence to definitely say only one ancestor but he made it clear that it was his belief that all animals and plants are descended from some one prototype. Most proponents of the modern version, on the evidence of DNA, definitely conclude there was a Last Universal Common Ancestor.
Again, simply not true. The theory of evolution says nothing about either the origin of life or any directionality.
CRR writes:
In both versions this common ancestor is envisaged as some simple life form of minimal complexity.
Again, simply not true. The Theory of Evolution says nothing about any common ancestor.
However, REALITY and the evidence does show that the earliest life forms were simple. When life is a single cell critter almost any change MUST be towards greater complexity. Once something more complex than a single cell exists the Theory of Evolution explains how it could evolve to be a single cell critter yet again.
When you begin with three definite falsehoods it most likely that any conclusion you can draw based on those misunderstandings will also be false.

Re: Does the theory of evolution require a gain of information?
No matter how long I think about your falsehoods they never change to being true.
The Theory of Evolution does not require a gain of information or complexity or sauerkraut.

Cat House and House Cat contain the same amount of information yet few except some Latin speakers would question that the two phrases while containing the same words and same letters convey two totally different concepts.

Re: Peppered moths are color change and not evolutionary change
CRR writes:
[All living forms have come from a single common ancestor] is true because we have witnessed [a change in frequency of existing traits in a population over time] in the Peppered Moth.
No one but you made such a silly assertion. Just more misrepresentation from Creationists as always.

Learn to read.
Your quote from Jerry Cone is no a description of the Theory of Evolution but rather a summation of the facts of evolution.
The Theory of Evolution is the explanation of the mechanism not a recitation of the history.

Re: Random NS and more BS
Is this "my other brother Darryl"? Haven't we been down this path before?
