Re: Exceptio Probat Regulam
The point is that humans show how creatures did these things instantly at some point in the past.
its just obvious. bats simply being instictive creatures took more easily into their body systems what humans only flirt with.
What fantasy world do you live in? Do you think skydivers start to grow wings or something? Wake up Robert, and join the rest of us in reality.

Re: Kind of The Point ....
Darwin INSISTED that without the presumptions of geology a reader was wasting his time reading his books on evolution.
And once again you have to distort science to support your arguments. Darwin insisted that without the CONCLUSIONS of geology that it was a waste of time. Not presumptions. CONCLUSIONS. If you want to challenge those conclusions do so in another thread.
if the fossil record did not show time sequences and so claimed biological sequences evolutionism would hardly have anything to talk about regarding evidence.
It does show a time sequence. All of the data supports it. If you want to argue the point then deal with the data. Tell us why we can not find an Australopithecine in strata that dates 100 million years old.

Re: Kind of The Point ....
The frog makes my case. Whats being dissected is a recently live creature and so its actual biological elements are still here. its not just a bunch of trivial bones.
Right here you have proven that your arguments are entirely arbitrary. The frog is dead. According to you, studying a dead animal is not biology . . . unless it hasn't been dead for an arbitrary amount of time that you make up on the spot. Fossils still retain biological elements, such as the muscle anchor points, brain features as seen in the cranium, etc.
Biology is about life. nOt a few bones without any life.
Therefore, dissecting a dead frog is not biology according to your definition. The frog has no life. All we have are some parts left over from when the animal was alive.
Evolution is not based on biological research but merely on very secondary results of biological processes.
I am tempted to make this into my signature to let everyone know just how low creationists will stoop.

Re: Kind of The Point ....
Biology is about actual living tissue and great complexity thereof.
You should tell all of those biology teachers that dissecting dead frogs is not biology.

Evolutionary biology is in fact geological musings that make biological assertions.
Your ignorance of genetics is astounding.

Re: Is it closing time?
Okay, we're past 300 messages. I'd be happy to leave this open if someone wants to try to move Robert away from unsupported assertions and toward engaging the debate. It takes two to tango, you get no sound when only one hand is willing to clap, and I recognize the difficulty of this task as I've failed in the attempt myself. I'll leave this thread open one more day.
Moving Robert away from his misconceptions seems to be a Fool's Errand. I think Robert has made our point for us. The post above will be my last in this thread barring new arguments from Robert, although I find the chances of this occuring to be quite low.

Summation
The theory of evolution predicts that one should see a mixture of characteristics in fossils in a temporal sequence. All geology supplies is the temporal information. Geology allows us to date the fossils. The rest is biology.
If a temporal series of hominid fossils with increasingly human features is not evidence of evolution, then what is? We have seen creationist after creationist claim that missing links disprove evolution. Now that it has been made clear that these links are not missing they are no longer counted as evidence. Dishonest much?
