When mountain gorillas see hunters coming they start breeding like crazy - hoping to 'win' Hippopotamus skin.

"The hunters are nearly here!"
"What do you mean: you aren't even pregnant yet?!"

Genetic entropy is not on the list.
It's not? Oh let me inform you....It most definitely is!
Then why did you post quotes related to captive breeding and in-breeding?
And why do none of the documents even mention the word entropy?

I think you are trying to show us your fantastic new discovery.

It was lots of floods over a very extended period.
But Aok says it was a global flood not lots of floods!!

Now you do realize that evos have a global flood also, don't you?
So it must have happened!!
Unless Aok is lying, of course.

I don't think he is lying, or that such a charge is warranted at all.
His blatant equivocation in his later posts leads me to think he is not debating honestly.
I think he knows when he gets things wrong and lies to cover up his mistakes.
I could be wrong, but that is what my instincts are telling me.

Obviously, since you failed to describe even one falsification to evolution.
TBH: it wasn't even a good attempt.

Cold-blooded to warm-blooded? Even though a warm-blooded creature requires 10 times as much food as a cold-blooded creature? And in turn the creature needs to be warm-blooded in order to gather 10 times as much food? So in order to become warm-blooded you have to already be warm blooded?
There is no such thing as 'cold-blooded' and 'warm blooded' - they are obsolete terms that are only used in a colloquial sense.
How much an animal's body temperature is affected by the outside temperature is different between species.
This difference ranges from one end of the spectrum to the other with many shades of 'warm-bloodedness' inbetween.
You argument can only have any weight if animals were only 'completely warm blooded' or 'completely cold blooded'.
But as species evolve, they can slowly increase/decrease their thermoregulation, without detrimentally effecting their diet or behaviour.

Why do you continue to post things you know are false and have been refuted over and over again?
The Theory of Evolution has no connection to either Atheism or Faith and you have been shown conclusive evidence that falsifies that assertion.
No offense meant, but that is off-topic and just a rabbit hole for KM to lure you into.
There are more than enough on-topic errors to address first.

I take it from your off-topic comments that you think that there are falsifications of the theory of evolution.
But then I am left wondering why you didn't post any.

So, from your silence I take it that you accept that you were completely wrong in regards to warm/cold blooded animals?
Care to aknowledge your mistake?

KM writes:
So what does this prove, Panda? That some mammals have the ability to conserve energy when resting (hibernating bears, sleeping bats) and that some cold-blooded creatures (sharks and rays) can maximise temperatures to their eyes and brians?
It does mean that.
But it also means that animals are not completely 'warm-blooded' or 'cold-blooded'.
There are different grades of 'warm-bloodedness'.
I had hoped that phrases like
quote:
Both the terms "warm-blooded" and "cold-blooded" have fallen out of favour with scientists because of the vagueness of the terms and an increased understanding of the field
would have helped you realise that you are going in the wrong direction.
You claimed:
quote:
Cold-blooded to warm-blooded? Even though a warm-blooded creature requires 10 times as much food as a cold-blooded creature? And in turn the creature needs to be warm-blooded in order to gather 10 times as much food? So in order to become warm-blooded you have to already be warm blooded?
which was then shown to be falacious.
KM writes:
Metabolic versatility on the part of endotherms and ectotherms does not mean they are on the same scale.
If different species have different degrees of endothermic and ectothermic metabolisms then it is possible to go from 'full warm-blooded' to 'full cold-blooded' without the large jump you claimed was necessary (but impossible).
KM writes:
So what does this prove, Panda?
It proves you are wrong.

Why are you avoiding the question?
Is it too difficult for you to understand?

Here's an interesting table linked to Shadow71's link.
Something seems wrong with that table, but my biology knowledge is insufficient to be certain.
It is just a feeling, so I could easily be wrong.
