Constantly designed baramins and the evolving food chain

I think it would be useful if we all got our ecologist hats on and talked about food chains.1. Why exactly is God neccesary to the existence of food chains? This is about the most weird suggestion I've heard on EvC.2. Biologists posit a clear and straightforward model of evolution. The same process influences life at all levels -molecular, organismic, and at the level of the food chain. Can you point me to a biologist who says that the evolution of species requires a different mechanism of evolution to that required by "food chains"? If not, why do you think that your statement that "an evolving food chain... is indistinguishable from natural evolution" is of any interest whatsoever? Has any biologist in recent years stated otherwise?mick[edited by mick to correct typo][edited by mick to correct another typo]This message has been edited by mick, 04-14-2005 03:01 PMThis message has been edited by mick, 04-14-2005 03:03 PM

What are you talking about? this is just nonsense. What do you mean when you say that Zebras have the goal of multiplying "because of the food chain"? You are talking with zero knowledge of ecology. "Food chains" are a human conceptual invention to help understand how energy moves around in an ecological system. They aren't real as causative agents in biology. They are "emergent" from the fact that each animal has to eat in order to survive. You could easily talk about food webs or food trees rather than food chains. What the hell is an "assigned niche"? Why do you think food chains are even important as far as intelligent design is concerned?mick

And what do you think replaced dinosaurs? I challenge you to point out the baramin that novelly appeared following the extinction of dinosaurs and replaced them in their niches.
