"Best" evidence for evolution.

Faith writes:As long as you speak in abstract generalizations you can obscure the fact that it won't work.

Faith writes:Obviously that makes yhou feel better but it doesn't change the fact that you can't get from one species to another any other way, and there's no way to predict that you're going to get any kind of useful mutations..

Faith writes:Getting even ONE change that could conceivably be useful seems mathematically impossible to me but I'm no mathematician, so "impossible" is just "impossible" to me.

Faith writes:Give us a sequence of mutations and selections that could get us from a reptile to a mammal, or just a reptilian organ to a mammalian organ. The generalities are just a way to hide the fact that it's impossible.

Faith writes:They mean nothing if there is no way to even imagine how you could get genetically from one to the other.

Faith writes:I'm sorry, but trial and error of mutatiobns is obviouslyu the only possible way evolution could ever occur and it's impossible and that's the end of that.

Faith writes:It COULD be mostly a problem of disagreement since this is a paradigm clash at root, one model opposing another, but such a clash usually also involves redefinition of terms and therefore a lot of misunderstanding.

Faith writes:Here I'll try again. Life was originally created in separate Kinds, each of which is designed to form hundreds of wonderful variations when isolated into separate populations which brings about new combinations of traits that cause each new subspecies to differ from all the others.During the Flood the enormous genetic variability that each was created with was severely bottlenecked, but at that time there was still an enormous amount of genetic variability in every individual so that the bottleneck only reduced the heterozygosity in each genome to a very limited extent, allowing for the great number of wonderful variations on all the creatures we see today, including all the races of humanity. I believe we have something like 7% heterozygosity left in the human population and probably some comparable percentage in other species, but at the time of the Flood it must have been much greater, 80%?: 50%?The Fall had brought death and disease into the world which had previously not existed, though all creatures nevertheless lived for hundreds of years up until the Flood when the changes in the environment brought about by that event, and the genetic bottleneck of each creature, contributed to the decreasing longevity and health we see in the genealogies of the scripture.

Faith writes:I'm sure with time a truly scientific model could be made of that information. For now it really is a sufficient model for the realities of how life came to be and how it varies.

Faith writes:Problem is YOUR model is a total fantasy.
