quote:
For example, in one article in CRSQ, it is assumed that humans are not related via descent to other primates. The authors then perform a phylogenetic analysis on many primate species, using humans as the outgroup. That is, they MAKE humans not related to other primates in their analysis, then they 'concluded' that their assumptions were correct!
THAT is what "religious science" means to me. And as such, it is not science at all.
MEGAROTFL! Scott, you are correct that the above would indeed be circular reasoning and not science at all. I’d be curious to know which article in the CRSQ this is.
But the reason for the MEGAROTFL is the huge dose of irony you threw out yet again. You are on a roll today! You engaged in the same flawed logic when you claimed the Wu article contradicted Haldane’s substitution number:
404 Not Found
And as such, it is not science at all.
