Author | Topic: Why Darwinism is wrong | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Jianyi Zhang Inactive Member |
I have read them, and indeed addressed most of them. The problem is that none of them actually consititute anything remotely resembling positive evidence for your theory.
My interpretation is that you lack ability to understand them. Jianyi Zhang

You have shown neither evidence to substantiate this nor even a sufficient grasp of evolutionary theory to begin to argue it.
I am not interested to convert any Neo-Darwinians to somebody else.If you do not think they are the evidences, I do not mind. As long as it is the truth, it will prevail, just a matter of time. I do not think you at the level to understand it. I just give up. Jianyi Zhang

What does one do to have a sufficient understanding of evolution? Become an evolutionist...?
I have the anwere, become a Neo-Darwinist. Jianyi Zhang

My thesis or publication is about oncogene, somehow, my name was spelled wrong in the paper for PhD.
I use my real name here, it is insane to lie at front of public.Besides PhD, I also have MS in preventive medicine. Since I do not think any of these degree related with the topic, I do not understand your motivation. Can you tell me what kind education you have? Jianyi Zhang

Endocytosis of a bacteria by a primitive eukarotic cell that led to a symbiotic relationship and continued co-existence of the two.
So, endocytosis of a bacteria is an event, it occurs instantaneously. NS works on these pre-formed symbiotic organism.Dr. Lynn Margulis's book (Acquring Genomes) is the best reference, since she is the person to propose the idea. Jianyi Zhang

Well, the actual event would probably have occurred a few billion times and resulted in consumption of the bacteria before a unique event led to the symbiosis becoming established.
Yes, any event out of billions billions events is an instantaneous one, they occur every seconds even now. Likewise, speciation occurs every seconds instantaneously. With or without natural selection, they occur. That is huge difference between me and Neo-Darwinists. Jianyi Zhang

Do you mean like a polyploidy event that makes for instantaneous reproductive isolation?
Yes. Besides polyploids in plants, generation of asexuals from sexual animals (generation of virgin birth animals), a few polyloids cases in animals are other evidences. Instantaneous speciation has a much bigger picture, polyploids is only one part of it. Jianyi Zhang

But I would not call it a common event.
Although most higher animals reproduce by copulation, various lower animal forms can reproduce in a parthenogenetic manner without copulation. Aphids (plant lice), some ticks, water fleas, ants, wasps, bees and certain lizards and snakes can all develop without male fertilization.What kind of animals were you thinking of here ? http://www.braincourse.com/virga.html
What other phenomena are you refering to ?
Every sexual animals, go my website http://chickensfirst.netAny references ? Also in this thread, and other on-going debates: http://www.arn.org/...b.php/ubb/get_topic/f/13/t/002150.html http://www.arn.org/...b.php/ubb/get_topic/f/13/t/002172.html Jianyi Zhang

But how does that relate to mechanisms of speciation for obligately sexual (amphimictic) populations that make up the majority of higher animals?
I put it there just showing ones every biodiversity, no matter they are bacteria, viruses, parthenogenesis or sexual animals, occur instantaneously, no exception. Neo-Darwinism fails in all cases, no exception.
I looked at the four parts of your theory as explained on the website, and I immediately see at least one problem for applying it to higher animals.
Even the majority of super-twins died initially, some of them would survive. If they did not survive, you never see them, what we see in the world is ones survived.What about inbreeding depression and detrimental homozygosity among siblings? In fact, many animals survive inbreeding. For example, Jackson Lab keeps over 3000 inbreeding mice, they are created technically (transplant mice).

Somehow I've become very familiar with creationist models and positions - better than most of their proponents, in fact - without actually becoming a creationist.
What does Super-twinning model belong to? Probably, any models inconsistent with Neo-Darwinists belong creationian one. Neo-Darwians alwyse think in this world, only Neo-Darwinians and Creationists exist, nobody else. Jianyi Zhang

What you present here is just another evidences for my proposed model:(yes - germ cell lines !) When this is experimentally tested with crop plants, some of the progeny of infected parents express completely novel traits, some of which are potentially desirable for the crop. gross changes in germ cells, progenies with mutated structure is a new species (assumed), and it occurs at individual level; with or without NS, virus infects plants, new type of plants are created. Nothing cannot be more obvious. Jianyi Zhang

As does all mutation.
I mention all speciation, do you agree?
In what way is this any sort of evidence for your model?
I said in the previous post, you fail to understand it.
It has nothing to do with supertwinning and doesn't seem to be an example of anything not entirely consistent with modern evolutionary theory.
Supertwinning are most applied to sexual animal, in plant, there might be some modifications, but the principle same. Modern evolutionary theory? What part of it? As it contains everything, and it says speciation by RMNS major one, how does the case fit into RMNS (assuming the plant new species)?If you say it case for instantaneous speciaiton, I do not have problem with it.
you don't even know how substantial the changes are, an induced point mutation can easily affect phenotypes, it might simply be that some anti-viral immune response has increased the rate of point mutations throughout the plant.
Underlying assumption is that mutanted plants is a new species of plant. Why do I need to know "how substantial the changes are, anti-viral immune response has increased the rate of point mutations throughout the plant."If it is a new species, it is created by viral infection instantaneously, if not, viral infection creates a plant with new property WITHIN the same species of plant. That is it. You are just so confused, and do not have common sense in biology. However, you are very good to transform a simple question to a complicated maze. Jianyi Zhang

This assumption is still completely unwarranted.
How about assuming it a new species? How kind of role for NS in its arrival? Jianyi Zhang

In fact, many animals survive inbreeding. For example, Jackson Lab keeps over 3000 inbreeding mice, they are created technically (transplant mice). In my website, I have following writing:
First generation is supertwins brother-sister from the same birth, they mate to have the second generation, brother-sister from the same parents (assuming only twins parent); their offspring are brother-sister from different parents. If an organism has a few weeks in the life cycle, it only takes a couple of years for them to have over 20 life cycle. By then, majority of the members in the organism will be remote-related.
EZscience wrote:
Nobody completely negates the validity of natural selection, the model say NS not involved with arrival of products, but all products will be subject to natural selection. That is huge difference. NS is a filter, not an generator.
And, I also do not see how novel sources of heritable variation can negate the validity of natural selection in any way, whether they happen to sometimes generate new species or not. The products will all be subjects of natural selection.

You certainly can have your opinion.And I don't think you should extrapolate too much generality of applicability for your mechanisms yet. I think they are unlikely to be important in higher animals that are obligately outcrossing. This message has been edited by Jianyi Zhang, 05-13-2005 01:10 AM Jianyi Zhang

Your hypothesis does sound pretty similar to RMNS to me.
It sounds similar, in fact, they differ greatly.
First you have a gross mutation. So we agree on the importance of random mutation.
Gross mutation may create a new species by itself without natural selection, do you agree?
so your model is: random mutation + natural selection.
My model is:random mutation generates everything without NS, natural selection eliminates unfitted. This message has been edited by Jianyi Zhang, 05-13-2005 09:35 AM This message has been edited by Jianyi Zhang, 05-13-2005 09:36 AM Jianyi Zhang
