Thanks for the valuable information. But my intention of OP, as you can see, was not to describe a new theory. Only to discuss some relevant matters.

In the OP Iset the matters iwould like to discuss. Not the new Lamarckian Synthesis Theory. So in thread called 'About the New Lemarkian Synthesis' you don't want the to talk about the 'New Lemarkian Synthesis'? Priceless. Edited by Larni, : No reason given.The above ontological example models the zero premise to BB theory. It does so by applying the relative uniformity assumption that the alleged zero event eventually ontologically progressed from the compressed alleged sub-microscopic chaos to bloom/expand into all of the present observable order, more than it models the Biblical record evidence for the existence of Jehovah, the maximal Biblical god designer. -Attributed to Buzsaw Message 53 The explain to them any scientific investigation that explains the existence of things qualifies as science and as an explanation-Attributed to Dawn Bertot Message 286 Does a query (thats a question Stile) that uses this physical reality, to look for an answer to its existence and properties become theoretical, considering its deductive conclusions are based against objective verifiable realities.-Attributed to Dawn Bertot Message 134

In the OP Iset the matters iwould like to discuss. Not the new Lamarckian Synthesis Theory. Again. WOW!!! So you don't understand what is meant by "Scientific Theory"?Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

And so you find a good reason not to discuss the real issue. Is it any different from what i have said on OP about Darwinian evolutionists and their sacred caw of randomness in mutations? Edited by zi ko, : No reason given.

Hi Zi Ko,
I'm going to take on a moderator role in this thread. Would you rather discuss whether mutations are random before resuming discussion about a new Lamarckian synthesis theory? If so then I think a digression onto that topic would be a good idea, and evolutionists should present their evidence for mutations being random with regard to fitness. I think the key question you're asking is whether evolutionists merely assume mutations are random with regard to fitness because they can imagine no mechanism by which it could be any other way, or because they have evidence.

I agree. . Ufortunaly in science there are theories,not proved, but just accepted by its followers as true, for not exactly scientific reasons, as f.e randomness in mutations, Scientists accept the theory of random mutations because that is what the evidence indicates: http://www.genetics.org/content/28/6/491.full.pdf+html http://profiles.nlm.nih.gov/ps/access/BBABFJ.pdf They don't blindly accept random mutations. Notice how I posted two peer reviewed papers that contain evidence that backs my claims. Notice how you do not do this.
I know your arguments. They are so few. They are many, but you refuse to even acknowledge the ones that I do put forth. When will be reviewing the Luria and Delbruck paper or the Lederberg's paper?
I understand the difficulties (long time scale, focusing in mutations on metazoa etc). The same it applies to environmentally guided mutations. I just hope you aknowledge this. There is no difficulty in determining that mutations are random in metazoans, you just refuse to go over the evidence.

If so then I think a digression onto that topic would be a good idea, and evolutionists should present their evidence for mutations being random with regard to fitness. Fair enough. The Luria and Delbruck paper along with the Lederbergs' paper linked above are the classic experiments demonstrating how mutations are random. This was done in prokaryotes, but the same processes that produce mutations in prokaryotes are occuring in eukaryotes. This includes chemical mutagenesis, incorporation of the incorrect base during replication, radiation, recombination, and indels. For metazoans with long generation times it is difficult to do these same experiments. However, we can use genomic comparisons and the appearance of disease alleles to help us reach a conclusion. First, we observe that the processes of mutagenesis in metazoans produces deleterious mutations. These processes are the same ones that produce beneficial mutations. If mutations are being guided, then why do we get detrimental mutations. Second, when we compare genomes between species we observe that there are many neutral changes that have occurred since common ancestry. These changes are seen in pseudogenes and introns, to name two commonly used examples. Once again, the same mechanisms that produce neutral mutations and detrimental mutations are also producing beneficial mutations.

I accept the mechanism of random mutation in ONE CELL ORGANISM.On these cases randomness is an economical way, for nature, to proceed to evolution of species. In metazoans things are more complicated, Environmental guidance and randomness cooperate,for the same purpose, eg evolution,as a shorter cut of a long road. That's the reason of the existence of detrimental or neutral mutations. Epigenetic changes, lasting for environmental reasons for very long times, maybe thousands of years,pave the way for deep genome changes, not in a very strict manner, so to live room for some randomness to take place . So it is where they come thedetrimental mutations you are referring to.It is the best and more economic way for nature to suceed evolution. Economy is a BIG axiom for nature.

Here is where our difference lies. NOT exactly the same. There is the long lasting, environmetally positioned, epigenetical change. This last couldn't go astray. Nature wouldn't allow it to happen, as it is a very economic short cut road to evolution. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nature wouldn't allow it to happen I presume that you are describing the actions of Mother Nature here. Exactly what do you mean by your statement? How would nature disallow a non beneficial change from occurring?Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison. Thoreau: Civil Disobedience (1846) The apathy of the people is enough to make every statue leap from its pedestal and hasten the resurrection of the dead. William Lloyd Garrison.

Nature Does not know what change is beneficial or not. That will be decided by natural selection. Nature only keeps mutations on line not in a strict manner, with existing phenotypes tedencies.

In metazoans things are more complicated, Environmental guidance and randomness cooperate,for the same purpose, eg evolution,as a shorter cut of a long road. The same processes that produce detrimental and neutral mutations are the same processes that produce beneficial mutations. They are one in the same. If they are random processes when they produce detrimental and neutral mutations then they are random when they produce beneficial mutations. You are simply using post hoc rationalizations to claim that mutations are random. Let's use an analogy. Let's say that I have a rabbit's foot that I claim guides the roll of the dice so that I win. I also claim that it doesn't always work, but it does sometimes. I then go to the craps table. Everytime I lose I claim that the rabbit's foot just wasn't working on that roll. When I win I claim that the rabbit's foot was working. When I compare 1,000 of my rolls with someone who does not have my rabbit's foot it turns out that we won at the same rate. Would you say that my claims about the rabbit's foot are supported or not supported by the evidence?
