Biology is science, evolutionism isn't. what about "evolutionary biology?"
Biology should be doing what it is doing, but they should do it without the evolutionism. actually, that's more or less impossible. see, without evolution, there's no taxonomy. and taxonomy is a BIG part of biology. This message has been edited by Arachnophilia, 04-20-2005 11:59 PM אָרַח

quote: Nothing more than a tree structure that organizes the files on a computer implies. It's a way of organizing phenomena. Now it implies evolution from one to the other, but that's no more necessary than the idea that one computer file begets another.

Right. That's the Politically Correct Answer. And woe be to anyone who knows it's false. if it weren't right, every end on the tree would have the same number of branches. and they don't.

Now, THAT makes NO sense at ALL. it's a method of sorting, yes. and it sorts by common features. but if there was no common descent, and no evolution, it'd look more like this:
than this:

Good luck. As resistent to learning geology as Faith is, trying to teach her taxonomy has got to be worse.

Good luck. As resistent to learning geology as Faith is, trying to teach her taxonomy has got to be worse. hell, i don't even fully understand it. added by edit: someone else wanna take a crack at it? i'm at a loss for explaining it.

How's about we close up this one for this thread, and maybe you can all get together and show me what an idiot I am about taxonomic mathematics on another thread sometime. Not too soon I hope. I have quite a backlog of threads I have yet to get back to if they're still there.
