Mimicry and neodarwinism

Do you think that a phenomenon that is a 'problem' for neodarwinism somehow discredits everything it claims?Do you have an alternative explanation for the phenomenon?Why do you have a problem with neodarwinism? (other than the mimicry thing)Do you realize that the difficulty to believe something has no affect on its truth value?Do you realize that you are arguing from incredulity?Other than these questions I was wondering about, you seem to have done a decent job of exemplifying a phenomenon that is difficult to explain with neodarwinism. IMHO, that doesn't count as any falsification, just an example where more effort could be placed.

I was gonna get involved in this thread but had some questions for you first in Message 15. If you could answer those, even though they might be OT, I'd be more inclined to discuss this with you. I haven't read the rest of the thread yet though.

emphasis addedWell, at least there is an explanation. What is your explanation? Just point me to the post if you've already wrte it. All in all, it still seems like you are arguing from incredulity.Do you think that a phenomenon that is a 'problem' for neodarwinism somehow discredits everything it claims?Do you have an alternative explanation for the phenomenon?Why do you have a problem with neodarwinism?

So you're not going to offer a different explanation, you're just going to say that the current explanation does not convince you, so therefore it must be wrong. Unfornunately, for you, that is a logical fallacy and you're convincing no-one.Finding one example of something that is difficult to explain with a theory does not invalidate the rest of the theory's explanations.

You shouldn't need reasons to not believe. Not believing should be the default position until the theory is convincing. Look at all the explanations that the theory does offer and judge it on those, not just the areas where there is still difficulties. If you judge the theory only by the difficult areas, then I'd say you have a motive before you began. If you have a motive and start with finding reasons to not believe, then you're not being honest with yourself. But you can do whatever you want, and be as honest as you want, especially with yourself. Just don't push your own self-dishonesty onto other people and we'll all live happily ever after.

Well, if thats how your logic works then I can understand why you disbelieve evolution.Here, let me fix the errors you made in that statement.

quote:

---

Evolution should be disregarded as a valid theory because it only accounts for a very small part of the evidence.

​

Evolution should be regarded as a valid theory because it accounts for the evidence.(ie it is convincing)

Now you're starting to make some sense
