That's because your OP was answered a thousand posts ago and you've been doing nothing but trolling ever since.

Re: Another useful application of evolutionary theory
This is how you breed sausage dogs from wolves: You just leave wolves alone to for a few thousand years and eventually they will evolve into sausage dogs.”
I thought we were talking amniotes to synapsids. Millions of years of microevolution and natural selection is how nature did the task. And that is a well known fact whether you care to acknowledge it or not.
Go ahead. Put your fingers in your ears, shut your eyes and say 5 "godonits".
That’s like saying, “This is how you breed sausage dogs from wolves: You just leave wolves alone to for a few thousand years and eventually they will evolve into sausage dogs.”
To a stupid person it may appear to be the same. Knowledge is a wonderful thing and allows one to separate differing process producing differing results.
To go from amniotes thru synapsid thru wolf to dog is this same process. Millions of years of microevolution and natural selection. Now if you want to go from dog to dachshund that is obviously, except to the stinted logic of the twisted religious mind, a different process. Microevolution by artificial selection. Quite different from the natural process.
... you really know nothing about “how macroevolution occurs.”
Reading comprehension really is a weakness for you isn't it. Must go with that IQ of 9 you are so proud of.
You have been schooled many times in this one thread alone on exactly how macroevolution occurs.
Denying this is intellectually dishonest. To be expected from your side, I suppose ... or ... it is religiously motivated denial since the facts of evolution and microevolution and genetics and natural selection all conspire to destroy your fantasy of a sky-daddy god who blows his nose at clay dolls?

Well known fact? You are deluded. It's assumption, not fact. There is no evidence for such a thing.

Re: Another useful application of evolutionary theory
Uh huh, well that was the original statement of the conclusion. Later of course they managed to invent some other stuff based on a lot of mere verbiage, no actual evidence.
Anyway, if synapsids DID evolve from amniotes it would have to be by microevolution which is not evolution but means they are really the same species. But it's evolution that is claimed, and that's nonsense. I looked up some images but my eyes don't work well enough to identify the relationship between the two creatures.

The time to stick a fork in it was the first time Dredge invoked the supernatural and turned it into a religious proselytizing thread.

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.
If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

Heh, heh ... if you suggested that the OP was bogus, I would tend to agree. Some of us have seen this from Dredge before, though outright trolling with the alien meme turned it into even more of a circus at an early point.

Ah, I see you've changed your tune - you've gone from claiming to "know how macroevolution occurs" to "I know what macroevolution is".
Moving the goalposts isn't going to help you - if you really did "know how macroevolution occurs", you would know how to breed a winged insect from a non-winged insect. But you haven't got a clue about how to perform such a feat, because you only know how MICROevolution (genetic variations within a extant population) occurs.
Anyhow, if you want to be further humiliated re this subject, go to the new thread in "Biological Evolution": EvC Forum: A test for claimed knowledge of how macroevolution occurs

Nope, I know what macroevolution is AND how it occurs.

Your problem is a complete lack of knowledge about evolution, microevolution, and macroevolution. How humiliating.

Since I know what macroevolution is and how it works and since I know what evolution is and how it works, and you do not, you will have to up your gave if you want to see me humiliated.
