Re: Seeking to understand basis for incredulity
At some point they become too different.
And this is the point I made yesterday. ToE is so good at blurring the lines.
No-one can provide the web-site I asked for because ToE has the keep the lines blurred with extremely broad assertions

The more different two species are genetically, the less likely it is they can interbreed, but there's no explicit law within the field of biology that says that genera can't interbreed or families can't interbreed and so forth
This is the exact kind of double talk I have been referring to that frankly I am sick of dealing with.
Draw the line wherever the hell you want. If you can't breed one kind of animal with another and that truth is unchangeable then that is a law of biology and a line has been drawn.
I can't even believe I have to have an argument of such a no-brainer status with people that have your kind of education....this is just such a grand waste of time I can't give any more energy to it.
...take care guys, I am over and out. Please don't respond from the reply tab of my post.

closing thoughts
My head was sore of butting up against the stone wall of the EvC yesterday. I would like to make a better closing statement if I could please.
Percy writes:
I don't know what you mean by "broad assertions," so can you be more specific?
Yes. Everything I see has huge gaps and holes. I never see drawings of the step by step progression for the skeletal system bone by bone. Its always, "Here is what it was, and here is what it became". I want to see all the details and here how all the bones formed all the way through the process.
Evolution claims changes come as a result of selective pressures. One of the things that strikes me is that changes that would result from these "pressures" happen at such a slow rate, by the time the thousands of years (or more) transpire into the resulting changes everything has drastically changed making the reasons the changes happened void.
On the one had you say these changes happen because of the immediate environment yet all change is so extremely slow you can't even point to anything other than Genomes for some type of evidence that it happened.
I don't see one shred of evidence that selective pressure along with rm/ns is capable of creating new designs. None.
You 'claim' it happened but it is sooo slow we can't show it to you.
That in a nutshell is your argument and I say you lose this debate by way of forfeit.
If you ever come up with anything tangible be sure to let us Creationists know won't you?
May you some day come to know Christ the Savior,

Round two
..."and back by unpopular demand...heeressss IC" Hi everybody. After looking over round one it became clear that there were several issues that I need to return to and put a spotlight on.
There are important questions asked that were either completely side-stepped with diversionary tactics or glossed over with shallow statements that failed to give a satisfactory explanation.
Many things you have said just don't add up or in the case of the following, add up to way too much;
Percy writes:
The first "organism" was probably just a collection of chemicals held within some kind of membrane, and that "organism" was "fully formed."
By way of example of the probabilistically impossible odds of abiogenesis, consider the
May 31, 2007 paper published by Eugene V. Koonin of the National Center for
Biotechnology Information. Peer reviewed and published in Biology Today [2], Koonin
calculated the probability of the most simple life form arising by natural processes, with
the following conclusion:
The requirements for the emergence of a primitive, coupled replication-translation
system, which is considered a candidate for the breakthrough stage in this paper,
are much greater. At a minimum, spontaneous formation of: - two rRNAs with a
total size of at least 1000 nucleotides - ~10 primitive adaptors of ~30 nucleotides
each, in total, ~300 nucleotides - at least one RNA encoding a replicase, ~500
nucleotides (low bound) is required. In the above notation, n = 1800, resulting in E
<10-1018.
That is, the chance of life occurring by natural processes is 1 in 10 followed by 1018 zeros.
Koonin's intent was to show that short of postulating a multiverse of an infinite number of
universes, the chance of life occuring on earth is vanishingly small, and we can
understand the practical import to be that life by natural proceses in a universe such as
ours to be impossible.
OK class lets say it all together...IMPAHHHSIBULL !!
Thank you,
IC

I'm not sure why it is not clear to you, but what Percy is suggesting as a first "organism" is far more primitive than what Koonin is discussing.
NO he isn't;

Both Percy and Koonin were talking about 1st life. So you are full of poopoo cahcah

Re: Round two
I see a citation mark in your quoted text ("[2]"), do you think you could provide the citation, so we could find the paper?
The cosmological model of eternal inflation and the transition from chance to biological evolution in the history of life.

This is why you should rely on primary sources, IC; because you frequently mistake editorializing in the secondary source for material in the primary source.
This is direct from the paper Crashfrog. You do the math and prove the editorial was wrong.

Re: Round two
Maybe you could have an original thought sometime
May 31, 2007 paper published by Eugene V. Koonin of the National Center for
Biotechnology Information.
Are you saying this is a falsified paper? What do you mean original thought. I never claimed this was MY information.

Re: Round two
it will inevitably happen an infinite number of times in an eternally inflating and deflating universe.
This is funny. Not only did the impossible happen but it could happen an infinite number of times.
Yeah, OK Crashfrog whatever you say. As always, your saying it makes it true.

If you cut and paste something it is necessary to give credit. Anything else is dishonest.
I see what your saying. I should have credited where I got the article. ten4

Re: No. Not move on
Defend your assertion or admit you do not even have a clue what the paper even said.
The requirements for the emergence of a primitive, coupled replication-translation
system, which is considered a candidate for the breakthrough stage in this paper,
are much greater. At a minimum, spontaneous formation of: - two rRNAs with a
total size of at least 1000 nucleotides - ~10 primitive adaptors of ~30 nucleotides
each, in total, ~300 nucleotides - at least one RNA encoding a replicase, ~500
nucleotides (low bound) is required. In the above notation, n = 1800, resulting in E
<10-1018.
This is from the paper. Look it up yourself, I gave you the references.
If you guys disagree the chance of life occurring by natural processes is 1 in 10 followed by 1018 zeros then post what you come up with.
I got it from http://www.intelligent-design-evidence.com/origins

What new body parts did we eveolve from the other apes? Our morphology is very similar indeed.
I know we have more bones in our feet. I would have to do some research as to the differences from us and Apes.
Just for simplicity lets start back at the fish and go from there.
Thanks,
