Problems with evolution? Submit your questions.

Didn't this nutball(or someone like her) post here not too long ago? I have a vague memory of a poster that was offering to show us(in her self published book for $29.99) the true secrets of how DNA had a secret code or something like that.

I can attest that this is probably why we still have them. I had a bad nail on my left index finger for over a year. Without the fingernail my finger would feel numb and get injured more than my other index finger. Since my fingernail grew back I no long have numbness in my finger and it does not get as injured.

What does being adopted have to do with anything on this board? Is there a stigma you you feel adopted people should have? You have a problem with people that are adopted and people that adopt?Listen asshole. If you can not keep the debate to the subject move along. You want to have a debate on adoption and adoptees bring it on. Until then keep to the subject of the debates or shut your fucking mouth.Edited by Theodoric, : No reason given.

How about providing those statistics.

Still waiting for those statistics.

Nothing in the abstract of the first says anything about adoptees in comparison to the general public. It is a study of specific adopted people.In the second I see no statistics or evidence for adoptees being more prone to anything than the general population. I realize there is a thing as ACS, but you have provided nothing showing adoptees are less intelligent or more likely to be incarcerated as you asserted earlier. I am not saying you are wrong, I just want evidence. So still waiting for the statistics Never heard the expression before. It is very insulting to adopted people. Might get your ass kicked someday if you say it to the wrong person.P.S.
The word is spelled Hence.

Again you provide nothing that says people that are adopted are more prone to, as I quote you. Your first attempt.
Foster children are not adopted children. They are totally different things. Foster children are foster children because they are not adopted. They tend not to be adopted because the birth parents are still usually involved to some point. You might want to do some basic research on the difference.Nothing in your second quoted item says anything about adoption either. Divorce rarely leads to an adoption. Also please provide a link to this reference. I think the basic findings of this study may be being misinterpreted, It is not the divorce that is the cause of the issue probably as much as the people that are the parents. I would really like to see the whole study.So, lets review.Your original premise about adopted people was. Evidence to support this assertion so far.None.Oh, and you agree with the subtitle? You don't seem to have any problem with it.Edited by Theodoric, : No reason given.

I don't know about Alberta but things are way different in Wisconsin. I am currently on the foster parent rolls. We do emergency and respite care. Rarely are parental rights severed. In this county upwards of 90% of kids in foster care see their parents regularly. We have been hoping to adopt out of foster care but as of yet there have been none up for adoption.You have anecdote on this. I have facts. Actually no. All you have done is shown that they are overrepresented in serial killers. So are men.
You have shown nothing about dropouts, committing crimes(other than serial killers), and not go to college.

Again you are posting foster stats not adoption stats.In order for any of your stats to have validity you need to talk about adopted not fostered. Notice the word foster throughout the selection. There is no reference for me to check your source. I imagine it is a national figure. In our county, which is rural, the figure is actually 78%. I checked my notes from my last training session. So I was a little off. Wisconsin as a whole has a much higher percentage.

In 2007, most Wisconsin children left foster care to
return home (65%)

SourceBut then again we are supposed to be talking about adopted people, not foster children. Maybe you can someday understand the difference. Again, you keep bringing up foster care. The issue is adoptees. Personal attacks? Ain't that lovely. All I have done is ask you to support you assertions. If you provide evidence I will acknowledge you are correct. I do not think your claims are founded on facts, but I could be wrong. As of yet you have not supported your assertions. If you would do some research so you understood the difference between foster care and adoption you might be able to actually find real evidence.How about you quit posting foster care info and how about we drop this since it is off topic. I understand it is a bias you have that you cannot support with evidence.

He is not a native English speaker.
This has been pointed out before. I don't remember if it was directly to you, but you should have the decency to be cordial to Frako.He is doing a fantastic job in making himself understood. Before you criticize his spelling how about you try to post in Slovenian to see how well you can do at that

Any evidence for this?

The discussion is about evolution not politics. Also, democracy is a subset of political science. Your comment was an implication that something counter to science could be used to solve problem and reach conclusions.Science and Democracy are not similar things. You do not seem to be too confident in your arguments if this is the best you can come up with.

So you are saying there is no information lost?Make up your mind either the change was caused by loss of information or it was not. You seem to want to have it both ways.Lets step through this.Cave fish losses sight. This is caused by a loss of information in its DNA(according to your argument).
Cave fish then again regain ability to see. You now say that the information is still in the genome? So there was no loss of info after all?You really need to review your arguments to make sure they mesh a little better.ABE sorry for pile on. I didn't see this was addressed by others until I posted this.Edited by Theodoric, : Abe Sorry for this pile on.

Instead of addressing responses to you, all you are doing is a gish gallop.The discussion was eyes. When you were soundly trounced on this you didn't address the issues and switched to the backbone. Now that you have been shown wrong there you switch to finger digits.How about you grow a backbone and address the issues presented in posts to you.You are not a very honest or ethical debater.
