The difference is you are comparing something that does not exist (comptuer program) with somethinng that does (satalites programmED). No one addresses me about the evolutionary theory WE COULD HAVE and we have from Newton himself about "THE MOST" ( that might as well be "the best a human designer can do..etc...) GENERAL SCHOLIUM of the Principia
"The most elegant system of the sun, planets, and comets could not ahve arisedn without the design of an intelligent and powerful being. And if the fixed starts are the center of similar systems they will all be constructed according to a similar design and subject to the dominion of One, especialy since the light of the fixed stars is of the same nature as the light of our sun and all the systems send light...For "god" is a relative word and has reference to servants and godhood is the lordship of God, not over his own body as is supposed."
As long as we are not ready to discuss FUTURE biology I am not ready to talk about Gould's sieve. If every star has its own evolution of biology in thought there would be a lot of designers to talk about before we, discussing one, reached the ultimate level Newton went on to address. If we diss Einstein with qunatum mechanics this does not resolve the number of Kantian aliens that could be genetically engineering life on other planents. Of course, dont get me wrong, I dont believe"" in little green men. It's just a debate point. Sometimes it is just silly for the creationist to respond when the back and forth cant make it beyond the slime to the hybrid. Ans as if there were MULTIPLE dominions supposed not tabled in the debate (giving an evo advantage to talk and saying Newton was bad apple falling etc etc we have Eldgredge trying to say
quote:
"THE LAST WORD: A SIMPLE REFUTATION OF CREATIONISM There must be a single, hierarchically arranged pattern of resemblence interlinking all life if all life descended from a single common ancestor. This is evolution's grand predication and we have seen, it has been abundantly and consistently corroborated thoughout the annals of biological research.
What do creationists offer as their explanation for the manifestly hierarchical structure of the biological world? Most creationists simpy affirm that it pleased the Creator to fashion life in the form in which we find it today. They maintain that the Creator was simply being efficient in using the same blueprint for the seperately created basic kinds, thereby "explaining," for example,.."
but he also had said,
"I have explored the question, How have humans entered the extinction business? In a series of three books, several articles, and a major exhibition at the American Museum of Natural History. I have proposed that culture became more important than traditional biological adaptations in the way ancestral humans approached the general problem of making a living. But the real change came when humans invented agriculture - and instantly becmae the first species in the entire 3.8-billion-year history of life to stop living inside the local ecosystems."
I know where I go next, do you (Loudmouth that is not the individual "you" but meant for anyone reading this thread, I dont doubt that you dont or wouldnt have a response). I cant see that necessarily saying there is MORE than one ecosystem that man keeps leaving is the correct thing to be teaching students if they are to steal a mind and sharpen it to be able to follow all the twists and truns of the perfect argument. Besides this rasies more issues in for nonequilibria niche constructors that even an oop mutator would classify (joke, just be the monkey with a typewriter re:instead) for and we are back to debate point first instead, if. Eldredge's thought only HARDENS adaptationisms and thus solidfies rather than limbers up the debate and falsey I add if pressed. There is only a cultural adaptation here not a NEEDED biological one. Who knows which little green man knows how to get the best job? and out compete our earthly global economy?? Comparing an existing program to a supposed ancestral program teleomatics is not ACTUALLY possible for this duration of now. That's HOW but not why I wouldnt have bothered to post except I was bored and annoyed. One has to show that electrons and photons are the same but different than gravitons DURING BIOLOGICAL CHANGE, not that there is a probability of life on other planents and that IN This similarity THE MATERIAL in life (BUT DIFFERENT THAN DEATH) is operative for natural selection in nature. We all probably have a better chance of shooting the Quala Bear from the north pole than man does of figureing THAT out before we LIVE on the moon (I mean mars).
---------------------------
[B]Falicy of lordship of flesh = Sagan's lord of the VOage.[\b]
Newton instead, "For we do say my God, your God, the God of Israel, the God of Gods, and the Lord of Lords, but we do not say my eternal one, your eternal one, the eternal one of Israel, the eternal one of the gods; we do not say my infinite one or my perfect one." I however wonder often if we CAN now say that infinite refers not in perfection but in mutation to the material body (quarks not vs photons etc) OF the argument above. Of course life might be lived diferently on Mars than on the Moon. who knows? I know I STILL live in my lusting flesh even AFTER creating two illlegits not against my will. Oh, Dawkins only saw he could rewrite memetically,socially, this "blueprint" without having to discuss Kant's use of final cause. The baby went and so did the bath water that Simon Levin used to discuss Marine Mollusk Competition ecologically. It is no coincidence that I am hard to read through AND a caller into my creation and evolution TV show asked me if I could "slow down" the explanation! What is after the ---- is what matters but I loose most by the time I am here. So no,it is not time to discuss the individual sieves' example.
