Hi Admin,

But that supposed to be allowed in evolutionism. Darwin did it, Dawkins does it, so why not Margulis? Evolutionism = conclusion jumping, so I don't see your point.
Admin: One would hope it is not widely believed that the practice of bad science justifies the further practice of bad science. One would also hope that assertions of bad science would be backed up by supporting evidence and argument. And one would further hope that members debate in good faith and not throw red herrings into the ring.
PB: My point was and is: from what we now know about genomes Darwin made an unwarranted extrapolation. I've reiterated that several times. No response till now.
Admin: Quetzal supported his points with information and argument, and any rebuttals must do likewise.
PB: I am among the people who always respond with scientific arguments why, where and how evolutinism is wrong. So, if I make a statement on Darwin's unwarranted extrapolation it also should be addressed with information and arguments (see forum rules). Till now no one did.
Admin: Please see the Forum Guidelines, particularly rules 2 and 4:
2) Debate in good faith by addressing rebuttals through the introduction of new information or by providing additional argument. Do not merely keep repeating the same points without elaboration.
PB) I am still waiting for any arguments that demonstrate my statement on the invalidity of Darwin's extrapolation. I will repeat it as long as necessary.
4) Assertions should be supported with either explanations and/or evidence for why the assertion is true. Bare assertions are strongly discouraged.
PB: I always back up my claims. Even here I wondered why margulis was not allowed to conclusion jump, while all the other evo's are doing the same.
Admin: Addressing Quetzal's rebuttal should be done in this thread.
PB: I was not adressing Q's rebuttal, I wondered why he used two measures.
Admin: If you're interested in making a case against the science of Darwin and/or Dawkins then please open new threads. Thanks!
PB: Yeah, why not make a topic of it. Thanks!
Best wishes,
Peter
