I already showed you that this is false with the example of SIFTER. Why do you keep lying about this?

I have defined the theory of evolution for you, and I have given the example of SIFTER as a use for the theory of evolution in this very thread.

Dredge writes: Notice that breeders have not managed to produce black or red budgies - and I predict they never will, because there are limits to variation. Due to these genetic limitations, macroevolution is impossible and ToE is nonsense. Quite obviously, the biodiversity we do see is within these limitations, so those limitations don't pose a problem. There are just 40 million mutations separating humans and chimps, well within the limitations of what genetics can do.

I have always found it fascinating that creationists try so hard to make evolution look like a religion. Why is that? And an atheist religion at that. Apparently, being a religion is the worst insult they can come up with.What if Eleanor Roosevelt had wings? -- Monty Python One important characteristic of a theory is that is has survived repeated attempts to falsify it. Contrary to your understanding, all available evidence confirms it. --Subbie If evolution is shown to be false, it will be at the hands of things that are true, not made up. --percy The reason that we have the scientific method is because common sense isn't reliable. -- Taq

Apparently, being a religion is the worst insult they can come up with. Or the whole: "See, evolution takes faith!" arguments, as if they see faith as some kind of bad thing - which makes you wonder...

Apparently, being a religion is the worst insult they can come up with. It is straight up psychological projection. They reject science because of their religious beliefs, so they project their own inadequacies onto others in reaction to the cognitive dissonance caused by their own religious beliefs.

Please explain how SIFTER makes use of the theory that all life shares a common ancestor.

I agree. But thinking you understand something when in fact you don't is never useful. Hence, the theory that all life on earth shares a common ancestor is useless to applied science.

Forget Darwinism for a sec. The general theory of evolution says all life on earth evolved from a common ancestor. This is a theory of universal common ancestry, isn't it?
False. Universal Common Ancestry is a conclusion, not a theory. How many times have we gone over this?

I would call Darwinism a cult, rather than a religion; but I like to refer to evolution science as "atheist theology", because it is the equivalent of theology to theists.

Religion requires faith, but shouldn't science - eg, evolution - be confined to evidence? It's interesting that you seem to think faith has a place in science.

This one is funny to me.

I have defined the theory of evolution for you, and I have given the example of SIFTER as a use for the theory of evolution in this very thread. Technically I was wrong to say "evolution" couldn't be defined. I should have said that neither word nor theory have a consensus definition. Taq did give a definition but from memory nobody agreed with him. Perhaps, for the record, Taq would like to repeat his definitions for the word and the theory with links to the original posts.

Sorry Pressie, I was disappointed to find this was false. No black budgie.
