If nested hierarchy is violated, small or big, it is no longer a strictly nested hierarchy.
Strictly no. However, we do see nested hierarchy we would expect to see if there is only interbreeding between closely related species, just as we see in nature.
So we find that even evolution has not produced a real nested hierarchy, if common ancestry were true.
We do see the patterns of shared and derived features we would expect from common ancestry and interbreeding between closely related species.

Re: problems with detecting design
That is not a gotcha as you think it is.

What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts

"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

Re: problems with detecting design
His grasp of science, biology, and evolution seems almost non-existent. I wonder if he's done with 89 content less posts, or if he's going further demonstrate his ignorance?

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

Dunning-Kruger in full effect.
I think I have a decent basic understanding of physics, but I wouldn't barrel forward and declare quantum physics to be bogus based on what knowledge I do have. And yet, creationists with almost no knowledge of biology feel that they have everything they need to disprove a theory with 170 years of evidence and science behind it. It's amazing to watch in the "slowly drive by a car wreck" sort of way.

Homeschooling has its place. It largely depends on whose home the classes are at and whether the curriculum allows for critical thought. By the way, are we talking about Porkncheese? He really needs to step up his game. *looks back at topic*.....oh its our new guy sensei! I dont know much about him yet.

Re: problems with detecting design
Home school, one-room school, alabama school, doesn't matter. Whatever the processes he passed through didn't work. The system failed, again, to prepare the kid properly for responsible adulthood.
It left him a religionist without a god. Now he gives society pain.

Re: problems with detecting design
Problem is, you deny other designs to be nested hierarchy due to few violations, but you accept violations in organism hierarchy.
How many violations are allowed to be still called nested hierarchy?

Schooling has not prevented 99% of evolutionist to have developed terribly bad logic.

Keep making wrong assumptions, as expected from an evolutionist.

Re: problems with detecting design
So just some lame term you learned in church? Youtube?
If you cannot explain your argument or the terms you use how do you expect us to be able to respond? You don't want us to respond, but rather just accept the crap you spew?
