Actually even if you gave them every step they would still say godidit. And why would anyone spend the time and effort to give someone like Faith a more detailed answer when you know she will dismiss it with insults and without reading it. That is what she always does, no matter how complete the information is.What if Eleanor Roosevelt had wings? -- Monty Python One important characteristic of a theory is that is has survived repeated attempts to falsify it.

And let's not forget the secondary forms of evidence that supports the existence of aliens - crop circles, abductions, UFO sightings, etc. And aluminum foil.What if Eleanor Roosevelt had wings? -- Monty Python One important characteristic of a theory is that is has survived repeated attempts to falsify it.

Neither does the belief that all life on earth shares a common ancestor. and your beliefs have no impact on reality. If you encounter someone who believes that, let them know.

And this is a criticism? So funny! I also note that Bechly never includes his ID beliefs in his scientific papers on dragonfly fossils. It wasn't meant as criticism. I have read his papers, have you?

Because my understanding of what existed before fish is basically sponges, worms and jelly-fish - ie, invertebrates.

I still don't see any connection either - the gaps from sponges/jelly-fish/worms to fish is best scientifically explained by aliens performing genetic engineering. So? I'm still not seeing the connection. Genetic engineering of what? Are you saying you think sponges and jellyfish and worms are ancestors of fish? And please do scientifically explain aliens performing genetic engineering.

You could have just said you have no answer why you think there should be links between sponges, worms, jelly-fish and fish.
I have no idea why you would post this crap from a whackjob like David Gelernter.

I know next to nothing about genetic engineering. I'm trying to find out if you have any knowledge about "genetic engineering," although I already know the answer. Yeah, I was beginning to suspect that.
Dredge writes: Do you think it would be possible to make organisms evolve by genetic engineering? I have never thought of genetic engineering as a mechanism of evolution, just like I don't consider selective breeding as a mechanism of evolution either. Would you consider stem cell therapies to try and cure an individual's genetic disease, genetic engineering? Or is genetic engineering strictly modifying the germ line?What if Eleanor Roosevelt had wings? -- Monty Python One important characteristic of a theory is that is has survived repeated attempts to falsify it.

Dredge writes: Er, no . that's not how it works - you made the claim that it's crap, so the onus is on your to prove your claim.Furthermore, I made no claim about Gelernter's opinion on the fossil record; I merely posted his thoughts. And I still have no idea why you posted anything by or about him. I still think it's crap. I have no interest in what he writes or thinks on any subject and as far as I can tell, he is not doing research on any subject I'm interested in learning more about.

Dredge writes: Curious that you ignore all the evidence that contradicts ToE - where is the evidence for the evolutionary ancestors of trilobites, fish and insects? Where are the missing links between the Ediacaran fauna all the novel phyla that appeared during the Cambrian explosion? The evidence for these "ancestors" doesn't exist! Curious that all this is incorrect. You have presented no evidence that contradicts the ToE. Which "novel" phyla? Curious beyond belief that a creationist knows the evidence that contradicts the ToE, but none of us know about it...
