Re: Back on topic
Golly gee those charts are referred to as FACTS! That sure does set the fantasy in concrete doesn't it?
Yea and rading an aincent book from the bronze age as FACT is so much better.
The reason our charts are refereed as fact is because we take objective measurements via objective tools, and plot the data on charts.
If i measure a string wtih a measuring tool every time i measure it the measurement will be the same, if you take the same measuring tool and measure the string the measurement will be the same. The tool is objective. Now if i mesure a bunch of strings and write my findings on a chart. The chart would be factual for the strings i measured.
What is objective by your standards. How do you objectively read the bible. There are currently 21000 denominations of Christianity every single denomination reads the bible a bit differently. If you find an objective way to read it you might bring humanity back to the one holy church era.

Re: Back on topic
Science makes planes.
Um but the article in question said that evolution can and does make better planes.
Evo fantasy is not science.
Um scientists disagree
Evo makes absolutely nothing, it just keeps people's brains in chains.
I just showed you an article whre the principle of evolution was used to make a plane better so is that just you closing your eyes covering your ears screaming NANANANANA
God taught us science
Um the recognised founder of the scientific method is Aristotle, does that mean the Greeks where right and we should worship Zeus, Athena, Ares .... and all the other phantenon gods.
Anyway. Just a reminder that the reason this discussion got going about how varieties require reduced genetic diversity, which of course you've answered only with the usual recitations of the Evo Litany, is that your OP refuses to recognize that creationists do affirm the variations that occur under the bizarre name Microevolution, meaning that you misrepresent us. Not that you care, heavens no, NOBODY cares about misrepresenting creationists. But anyway, that's why it came up. And I'm sure you'll go on just as blind as ever about what creationists believe.
Yea we came full circle where we found out that micro eovlution is just a snapshot of evolution. Or evolution in a shorter framework.
By the way I hardly ever read links or watch embedded videos, just so you know. In the case of this one I did at least find out that now they think they can improve airplanes with something they attribute to evolutionary theory. Whether whatever it is actually IS attributable to evolutionary theory, or like Microevolution, has nothing to do with it, I didn't read far enough to find out. In any case since the ToE is a gigantic delusion, oh brother and HOW gigantic, I suppose I ought to pay attention to keep track of when they either scrap it or the model they build crashes and burns
We just came in to an age where computers can harness the power of evolution to design better then man can. But yea keep track you will be amazed how an idiotic non-scientific fairytale does so well.

Re: Back on topic
As I've tediously explained to you over and over and over, the processes that bring about variation require reduced genetic diversity. THERE's a fact for you, an actual fact. Reduced genetic diversity over many generations of refining a breed is going to bring you to a point where no further variation is possible.
Ok once again say we have the absolute lowest genetic diversity possible just 2 freaking creationodogs to start with. When these 2 creationodogs have children say 10 of them. Each of them qill have half a copy of their fathers DNA and their Mothers DNA but ALSO a few MUTATIONS that are DIFFERENT from their fathers DNA or their mothers DNA. GENETIC DIVERSITY of the population INCREASED. Each of these crationodog children will breed further and each of their children will have MUTATIONS in their GENOME further INCREASING GENETIC DIVERSITY.

Re: A few definitions to help you out
Weird how fond you guys are of reciting the Creeds about the Methodology of *Science* as if they actually contribute anything to a particular discussion about how evolution absolutely fails by scientific standards. Just plain weird.
OK cite what standards it fails and why, then also cite why creationism passes those standards.

Re: Back on topic
Articles purporting to further some evolutionary notion or other are as the sand of the seashore, most with some kind of pretensions to be *Scientific* which usually just means slinging around the jargon. Once one knows the ToE is a gigantic delusion that has millions in chains, what's the point in slogging through another piece of word magic in its name?
So when the plain flies faster with a lesser fuel consumption then a man designed plain will you believe or will you find a nother excuse
God taught us science, not Aristotle.
WHAT GOD WHERE???
I do know that the HOLY CHURCH is responsible for the decline of scientific progress in the middle ages.
But never have i EVER read this in the bible:
And god spoke to learn things first thou shal asketh a question. For examplth whyeth is the sky blueth?
Then you shal formeth a conjecture based on the knowlage you haveth about that question. Ye shall call this part the forming of a hypothesis.
Thy hypothesis shal have predictions logical coniquences of the conjecture.
Thau shalt test these predictions if thy hypothesis faileth any one of these tests at any time thy shal discard it as the slave that cannot toil no more.
When thy testing is done analyise thy data and decide does thou needeth a new hypothesis or does thine explaineth all the evidence you have gathered via testing.
The write down what thau has donneth and publish it.
Other people will retest your hypothesis if id does nt faileth these tests soon all will haveto agreath that thy hypothesis is the best explenation for the data ye haveth and shall call it no more a hypothesis but a theory.
In any case no you did NOT do any such thing as FIND OUT anything about microevolution, what a bunch of selfserving hooha that is. No, the whole edifice of the ToE was BUILT on the ASSUMPTION that microevolution is openended. The natural variations within species that have always been observed, and that can be controlled in domestic breeding, were Darwin's inspiration for the theory after all. You see variation, you ASSUME it's openended, you declare it, you assert it and that MAKES IT SO in Evospeak. I've shown you how it isn't but gosh that might destroy a hundred years of false science so NOBODY is going to pay any attention to THAT. No, we'll just go on ignoring the naked emperor and describe the perfections of his elegant finery as if they actually exist.
On the one hand you say mutations do happen. Ie new gens get aded, existing genes get turned of or deleted completely, chromosomes fuse, retro viral insertions in the genome. But all that small change can never amount to allot of change????
Well i guess 1000 years from now some creationist will finnaly come up with proof that evolution is wrong. It will be a glorius day a joius day for that day we will have to find a new theory that explains the facts to bad we alredy debunked creationism a million times.

Re: Back on topic
Of course I believe mutations are a disease process but for the sake of argument I'll assume some occur as you describe. It really wouldn't matter if mutations enter into the mix or not, a few mutations isn't going to increase the genetic diversity of this new population in any real sense, and in any case all it can do is contribute a few more alleles to the mix to create the new breed.
Ok since you are entertaing the notion
Say ONLY 1 gen mutates in every new pup for the sake of simplicity every 2 parents will have 10 pups 5 girls 5 boys who will in turn have 10 pups. and lets say they are as "complex" as us 30 000 base pairs
we have 2 parrents that give birth to 10 pups 10 new gens in the gen pool
they pair off and have more pups 5 pairs have 10 pups each 50 new pups 60 new gens.
60 pups pair of 30 pairs each having 10 kids equals 300 new pups 360 new gens.
300 pups pair off in to 150 pairs each having 10 pups 1500 new pups 1800 new gens.
1500 new pups pair in to 750 pairs each having 10 kids 9100 new gens......
Ok sure in the real world 1 pup would shag all the females but it would be the best environmentally adapted pup. Letting only the best gens be transferred to the next generation. but you see my point a litle change in a little time equals to allot of change in alot of time. There is no way around it. The verry second you accept mutation you have to accept evolution.

Re: Back on topic
All your vaporings about mutations are just fantasies.
Just a freeking few posts ago i showed you a picture of a man that has a mutation on his X chromosome a hole fucking CHUNK of EXTRA GENS.
I cant find the article right now but in an experiment sicentists DELETED the gen of a virus that allowed it to enter a cell more easily. Over a few generations the virus mutated making a new different GEN that served the same function.
MUTATIONS ARE FUCKING FACT
In humans about 4 gens are mutations in EVERY generation YOU have 4 gens that your father does NOT have, and neither DOES your mother.
once you accept mutations you cant deny evolution without sounding insane.

Re: Back on topic
You dint mention the single cell organism becoming a multi cell organism
1. "Observed instances of new species forming."
Yes, what evolutionists call "speciation" and new "species" do in fact occur, but they are misnamed. As I've repeatedly said it is artificial to call them new species, it's really a form of question-begging. What the ToE claims is that you can get some COMPLETELY new creature from an old, and really the term "speciation" should be reserved for that event, which of course has never occurred in observation but only in theory. All those cases of the formation of new "species" you have listed for lizards, mice, seagulls etc., are nothing but new varieties or breeds of their original Species that have for whatever reason developed an inability to breed with their former population, and they should be named accordingly instead of calling them "species" so as to confuse the ignorant. In other words this is just another case of normal variation, i.e. "microevolution" being co-opted by the ToE. This is a typical case of word magic, that is, the reification of a concept by the mere manipulation of words.
In scientific terms a speciation is when a part of the species population has changed so much it can no longer breed with the original species.
The event you want us to see does not happen ducks dont turn in to crocodiles. U might after a long process of evolution get a duck that LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE a crocodile but when classified in taxonomy it would always have the label DUCK somewhere. What you want us to present is magic. Like both fish and amphibians are BOTH STILL VERTABRETS.
2. "Observed instances of new genetic material(information) arising"
From your descriptions I have to ask whether these supposed instances of "observed" mutations have actually been observed; most of them sound like the usual case of discovering a novel sequence already in existence and CALLING it a mutation, because, as I've said, that's what the ToE requires, therefore that's what it MUST be. But actually observed, not in some of the cases you describe at least.
Yea sure creation requires no mutation therefore all observations must be wrong. And everyone knows scientists are liars and deceivers from the devil.
Look, nobody denies that mutations occur, or even that what they do could be called the formation of a new "gene," or to be more precise an allele for a gene, because after all we're talking about a sequence of chemicals along the DNA strand and mutations alter that sequence, as does normal sexual recombination from generation to generation. But as Coyote affirmed, most such mutations ARE deleterious, many others do nothing that anyone can determine for sure, and very very very few can be said to have any beneficial function. Now you are giving a supposed list of beneficial mutations here. I have to suspect more word magic myself. The question is whether these new "genes" ARE of any real use to the creature. Like that man you mentioned whose X chromosome had acquired a whole bunch of new "genes." How can that be of any benefit? Such claims as this list of yours are NOT convincing, sorry.
If you accept mutations you have to accept evolution there is no way around it mutation=change in genetic structure. I told you how that means mutation can be a benifit in the end its the ENVIRONMENT THAT DECIDES IF A MUTATION IS BENEFICIAL OR NOT
[qs]3. Then -- *sigh* -- you give us a list of "Observed instances of beneficial mutations" ALL of which apparently describe nothing but the usual variation within the given genome and not anything novel at all. In other words, the usual "microevolution." ADAPTATION is NORMAL VARIATION, it is NOT the result of mutation.|/qs
O fucking no you dint
the second one says
Yeast adapts to a glucose limited environment via gene duplications and natural selection
DID YOU FUCKING READ GENE DUPLICATION= FUCKING MUTATION A FUCKING CHANGE IN TIS GENOME before there was ONE such GEN then THERE WHERE TWO
4. "Observed instances of large morphological changes."
But there is nothing on this list that suggests anything more than the usual "microevolution," or adaptation by natural selection through the normal variability of the genome of each creature.
Um sure why not and then god stops them from changing even more.
. "Observed evolution of novel organs and features." Well, let's combine this with 6. "...a multicellular organism", and 7. "endosymbiosis" because all these are equally mystifying claims. You can assert anything, and scientific articles are always claiming something to support the ToE, which usually turns out to be the usual case of microevolution, the expression of a pre-existing genetic function being erroneously called a mutation, or a deleterious mutation that they convince themselves is useful etc. If there is anything at all to the titles that claim more, there is no way to tell it from a mere assertion, which of course has no value except as a tool of mystification in the service of your bias.
You sure im the one that has a bias i just told you what was seen and documented your the one screaming thats not what you saw and you lied when documenting it.
Tell me is it even possible to convince you say i had a tardis (time and relative dimension in space) And i take you with me to the very formation of the earth and we watch history fast forwarding to the present if you would have seen evolution with your own eyes would you call me a liar and deceiver manipulating your vision with spacey wacey technology or would that be what it took to convince you?
If you think it would take less to convince you then tell me what would you need to see?

Im slinging profanities because you are not consistent in one message you agree mutations happen changes in the genome. In the other you claim thats not what happens. You claim we just documented variation and not mutation but in the verry second line of the part you where talking about it said what gen mutated how can i stay calm when you are actin in such an insane mannor. Now dont be a baby because i refereed to sexual intercourse and answer my previous post.

Re: Back on topic
No, I do not have to accept evolution if I accept mutations. I only accept mutations as being events that occur as mistakes, certainly not as viable new genes; that's just something you guys believe. Sorry, if the environment, such as malaria, is what it takes to make a mutation viable, that's not normal genetics, that's a disease process compromise.
Look if i where born with a mutation that makes you the smartest person in the world an IQ in the tens of thousands but no woman would have you or have your children because being smart is not sexually attractive. Would that be a beneficial mutation or a hindering mutation.
Its the evniormnet that selects what is a good mutation and a bad mutation. The goal of life is to reproduce if a mutation helps you get to the point of reproduction its good if it does not its bad.
IF you want to see viable new gens
when you argued against part 3 of my statment the second line said
Yeast adapts to a glucose limited environment via gene duplications and natural selection
yes an EXTRA NEW GEN viable and really useful
I also then point out that this new population exhibits the very reduction in genetic diversity I've been talking about, which is a trend AWAY from what would be required if the ToE were true because it makes further variation LESS possible, not more. And again, since you are going to want to throw mutations in here to claim that this reduction is not inevitable, if its genetic diversity DOES increase then you will lose the breed/race/variety/species and the whole idea of speciation that supposedly is evolution's springboard to further speciation.
Given that i have shown you that new gens are possible can this new species get new gens when reproducing thus increasing its Genetic diversity??
Yes, I thought I was clear that I'm objecting to that definition, not that I'm not aware of it. It's a tendentious question-begging definition that obscures the fact that you still have the same genome and therefore the same species, not a new species in the sense you would have to have to validate the claims of the ToE. All that has happened in most cases is that you get a very small population that has become reproductively isolated and inbred over many generations, and the inbreeding over those many generations of this group with severely reduced genetic diversity does lead to genetic incompatibility with the original population. It's still the same species nevertheless and the term "speciation" only serves to obfuscate that fact. I refer to it by that name anyway, but every time I do I have to append all these caveats and qualifications.
But our species has basicly the same genome as Chimps and Bonobos there is only a few % difference. And the our second chromosome being a fusion of 2 chromosomes in chimps and bonobos we have seen fusion happen. We have seen mutation happen new gens arising, old gens being deleted, retrovisruses incorporating themselves in genomes and such. Are we then the same species?
I also then point out that this new population exhibits the very reduction in genetic diversity I've been talking about, which is a trend AWAY from what would be required if the ToE were true because it makes further variation LESS possible, not more. And again, since you are going to want to throw mutations in here to claim that this reduction is not inevitable, if its genetic diversity DOES increase then you will lose the breed/race/variety/species and the whole idea of speciation that supposedly is evolution's springboard to further speciation.
But you see when you increase genetic diversity in that new species its done by RANDOM mutation so it can never become more similar to the pervius species it drifsts further away.
This is silly. I've never said I WANT you to see any such thing, I'm emphasizing that you CANNOT, that all you have is SPECULATION about anything in the unwitnessed past, it's all inferred from the ToE. And again what I've been describing MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR IT TO HAPPEN AT ALL ANYWAY.
What would you need to see i have been asking for a while now i want to know what piece of evidence could convince you
I have no idea what you are ranting about in response to my saying that adaptation is normal variation. It is. Normal variation under selection or other form of reproductive isolation. It does not require mutations.
The second line clearly stated GEN DUPLICATION an extra gen sure a copy of an existing one but not present before MUTATION not variation.
Since what "large morphological change" means was not given, all I can do is assume it's built into the genome and was selected.
Yea one would need to go and decipher their whole genome and the genome of the parrent species to se what actually changed.
Sorry, I did not find your lists convincing. Of course you are going to scream that they are.
But what would convince you i need to know so i can find it and show it to you, or tell you that that is not what evolution predicts. For all i know you want a chimp to give birth to a human to convince you while in fact that would convince me that evolution is wrong.
I spent thirty years believing in evolution and made some attempts to verify it, all of which left me with the sense that the supposed evidence really didn't support what it claimed to support.
It does i just dont think you understand what the evidence shows and what the theory of evolution says.
Of course IF you could SHOW me via your time machine that it actually happened I'd have no choice but to change my beliefs again, wouldn't I? Of course that is not what your time machine would show, if it was an honest time mchine.
U sure you wouldn't just call it a lying time machine.
Nevertheless I went on "believing" in evolution until I became a Christian and eventually discovered creationism which made sense of all that nonsense
Yea creationism makes no sense to me and it does nothing to further advance our knowledge. But thats because its Religion and not science.
But if i got it right Young earth creationism says about 6000 years ago god made all the animals the planet the universe and humans.
for that hypothesis to make its way to Theory it has to be tested. we test its predictions.
Prediction nr 1 the earth is no less then 6000 years old.
Radiocarbon dating says its older, we use the same knowlage as we use in radioactive dating methods in :
Nuclear power
Commercial technologies: Smoke detectors, Betavoltaics ....
Medical aplications: radiation therapy, medical radiography, Positron emission tomography. ...
Industrial aplications: Gauges, Electrostatic control, Radioactive tracers, Oil and Gas Exploration, Road Construction.
And much more if the dates using radiocarbon datin are wrong then that technology cannot function.
Thermoluminescence dating
A dating technique that can be used on inorganic materials such as clay pots. It can tell us when was the last time that object saw sunlight, or the last time it was heated. The dates conform with radiocarbon dating where applicable, and it works on a different principle.
There are around 30 dating techniques that all conform where applicable, and all point to an old earth.
So that part of YEC hypothesis hasto be scratched out.
Prediction nr 2 all animals created at the same time
God supposedly made all the animals at roughly the same time to support this claim you need to find modern animals together with tetropods, or dinosaurs. OR dinosaurs with tetropods. Whitout such evidence the claim that all the animals where created at the same time is as valid as they sky is blue because blue dragons are blowing blue fire in to the sky.
Without some evidence like that that claim has to be scratched out of the hypothesis as there is no evidence to support it.
You can prove evolution wrong in the same way
In its basic evolution basicly says
RANDOM MUTATION + NATURAL SELECTION = DIVERSITY OF LIFE
IT seems simpler but it has way more predictions and logical consequences, so it should be simple to find A SINGLE prediction wrong. Debunking the whole theory.

Re: Back on topic
As I said, the ToE is successful because it is purely imaginary and can't be effectively challenged for that reason. It is purely imaginary because it deals with the unwitnessed past which means you can make up just about anything you like about it without fear of being shown to be wrong.
Simply not true If you find a dinosaur from an age before tetropods evolution is clearly wrong and hasto be scraped.
If you find that there is no mechanism for evolution there was no ide what this mechanism is in the time of darwin evolution is wrong. But we found a mechanism DNA and its properties of imperfect replication, or as we call it mutation.
If you find that the timescale is too short for evolution to bring about the diversity we see, evolution is proven wrong and scrapped, at the time of darwin we had no idea of how long our earth exsisted, now we do we have time to spare.
All of this and more can or could have proved evolution wrong but it never has.
There's always a way to imagine yourself out of any issue. Just make a chart to "prove" yourself right.
We dont just pull charts out of our ar... behinds, we actualy put work in it using objective tools and objective measurements.
Everything I've argued on this thread is about facts in the real world, not about the Bible and not something I made up.
You argued that that mutations cannot increase genetic diversety even though i have shown you examples where mutations in genoms or deletions of gens, additions of new gens, or fusions of cromosomes, .... increase genetic diversety. You have one genome then you have a mutated genome that hasa difference is different from the parrent genome. Genetic diversity increased.
[qs]Fortunately all of biology does not rely on evolutionary thinking.[\qs]
Ever herd the phrase nothing in biology makes sense except in light of evolution. it was coined by a Russian Orthodox Christian Theodosius Dobzhansky, the tittle of his essay critisizing anti-evolution and creationists.
Taxonomy the way we classify animals scientificly conforms to evolution.
the whole of biology is intertwined with evolution
That too is a tenet of the ToE faith. Oh the ToE is invoked quite frequently and there's plenty of "research" done in its name, and biologists like everybody else are unfortunately steeped in the lore of the ToE so it's impossibly to avoid it, but fortunately most of that doesn't impact anything that matters in the real world.
Evolution underlies many improvements in agriculture (e.g., the artificial selection of crop strains and livestock breeds).
A less well-known fact is that evolutionary principles were used to produce many of our best vaccines and that evolution also causes problems with the use of some of those vaccines.
The vaccine now used to immunize against the disease poliomyelitis is a live poliovirus that we eat.
This live virus does not give us the disease (except to about 1-2 in a million people vaccinated) because it is genetically weakened so that our body can defeat it.
This process of weakening is called attenuation, and it is an evolutionary process. The attenuated vaccine strains came from wild, virulent strains of poliovirus, but they were evolved by Albert Sabin to become attenuated. Essentially, he grew the viruses outside of humans, and as the viruses became adapted to those non-human conditions, they lost their ability to cause disease in people.
Bacterial resistance to antibiotics is an evolutionary phenomenon
prolonging the life of drug/chemical resistant compounds
constructing evolutionary trees
pathogen tracking
industrial production of biochemicals and other agents
Isolates of the AIDS virus with up to 15 different drug-resistance mutations are known, and the latest drugs are becoming ineffective.
Some strains of bacteria are resistant to all available antibiotics.
For multi-drug resistant tuberculosis, surgery is the only cure because antibiotics don’t work and only 50% of those infected survive.
Chemotherapy for cancer often fails because drug-resistant cells evolve during treatment.
Pesticide resistance and herbicide resistance is so common now that the financial incentive to make new pesticides and herbicides is break-even or worse.
Artificially evolved enzymes and other proteins are soon to become part of household and medical technologies.
We will have protein-based drugs that, unlike the proteins inside our bodies, degrade slowly so that we don’t need to take so much of them.
Enzymes are being evolved to work in detergents (which they don’t normally do).
And as the stuff of futuristic novels, molecules are being developed to bind anthrax spores, ricin molecules, and other potential bioterrorism agents.
and much more
To the extent that it does impact reality, however, biology is going to start veering off into neverneverland at that point.
As supposed to creation that is alredy in never never land.
You can't get new species without a reduction in genetic diversity, you simply cannot, it cannot happen; that means that reality goes the wrong direction for the ToE to be true
And i have shown you how mutations create NEW genetic diversity.
If you DO get increased genetic diversity for whatever reason, mutations, gene flow, hybridization, whatever, then you do not get new species, which is the other way reality goes the wrong direction for the ToE to be true
So both ways are the wrong way??
Look you get speciation where the news species cannot mate with its parrent species. After that when the new species reproduces it gets new genetic diversity with every generation how is this so hard to understand. Every generation is a mutant A single gen or multiple are DIFFERENT from their parrents genomes You have the parrents genome and the ofspring genom they are a bit different. While you had only one genome before thus you have increased genetic diversity. whoptidooo
Either way reality defeats evolution
No you are ignoring reality and substituting it for your own in witch what you mentioned before happens.
All the earnest testimonials, encomiums, paeans to "scientific method" and the wondrous success of the ToE, are belied by this simple biological fact.
But its not a fact i have shown you how wrong you are you just dont want to accept it.
This it what happens in reality this is fact
Genomes mutate its a fact period if you dont believe me go have your genome decoded, and the genome of your parrents you WILL find that about 4 of your gens are DIFFERENT then the ones your father or mother posses. Fact PERIOD
MOST mutations are NEUTRAL meaning no benefit or and NO hindrance. They also dont get selected by natural selection
Some mutations are bad. Natural selection weeds these out. Say a wolf has a mutation that causes blindness, a blind wolf cant survive or mate to pass this mutation on.
A FEW mutations are beneficial. Natural selection selects these. A stronger wolf catches more pray, leads the pack, fathers the packs children Grately increasing the beneficial mutation in the gen pool of the pack, because half of the new cubs will have it. Making the pack stronger possibly enough to even outcompete other packs that do not have this mutation.
ALL OF THIS IS FACT PERIOD.
When speciation does accure GRANTED THEY HAVE A LOW GENETIC DIVERSITY.
BUT EVERY NEW GENERATION IS STILL A MUTANT NEW GENS IN THE GEN POOL OF THE NEW SPECIES. FACT.
With every new mutation the differnce between the parrent species and new species also increases as MUTATIONS ARE RANDOM.
POINT TO WHAT FACT YOU DO NOT BELIEVE AND I WILL SHOW YOU AN EXAMPLE IN REAL LIFE.

Re: Back on topic
Finally, the fact that you are NOT getting what I'm saying, and I'm sure you are representative, is coming out. Yes, to get a new phenotype requires that the genetic material for OTHER traits be eliminated from the new breed, which is a reduction in the genetic diversity of the new population, the new breed, from the former population or from the species population as a whole. Yes, that is how it happens in the wild and in domestic breeding. You are breeding angus cattle, then you cannot have alleles or whatever genetic material applies, for any other breed of cattle. Ideally purebreds have fixed loci for the traits that define the breed, or much homozygosity in the genome for those traits, which is a condition of greatly reduced genetic diversity.
The problem with citing cattle as your example is that their low genetic diversity is caused by artificial insemination about 75% of all cattle get artificialy inseminated. A single Bull can have up to 500 000 daughters . Greatly decreasing genetic diversity.
The dog population as a whole does, yes, but the cutting edge of evolution is the development of new species, or breeds, and those single breeds or "species" are based on a particular genetic substrate which is a selection of alleles for its traits OUT OF the previous population or the dog population as a whole. EVERY separate single breed or species is built upon its own selection of alleles for its pecular collection of traits, which HAS to be a sharp genetic reduction from the dog population as a whole. Sometimes breeds have been formed from very few individuals, which obviously sharply reduces their genetic diversity among themselves. This is how ALL breeds or "species" form, there is no other way.
Il give you that but every new generation has UNIQUE mutations of its own INCREASING GENETIC DIVERSITY.
I mean that if you don't get species or breeds you are not getting evolution, that's all I meant by the word "purpose." Evolution isn't happening if you aren't getting new species or breeds or varieties and to get them requires the elimination of genetic material for everything but the traits of that group. In the wild this is usually a random process, not intentional in any sense of the word, except where natural "selection" has a role, but it's still true that the development of a new phenotype, a new species, is built on the elimination of alleles or genetic material for other traits in the previous population or the species as a whole, even in the mother population from which the new "species" has migrated or otherwise become reproductively isolated. So if you have mutations or any other way gene flow is increased, that are introducing genetic diversity into a breed or new "species" you are destroying the breed, interfering with evolution.
No when you have those mutations you are just making every generation more different from the parrent species. Mutations are RANDOM.
Since to get a new "species" requires that a new set of alleles for traits characterize this population, i.e. reduced genetic diversity with respect to previous populations from which it is now isolated, adding back anything to increase diversity only defeats the "purpose" as it were of forming new species. This is absolutely contrary to the idea that the ToE is only onward and upward with the development of varieties or "microevolution," having no stopping point. What's to stop it? everybody asks. Well THIS is what stops it. You can't have a continual increase in genetic diversity along with every new speciation event. THAT idea is pure fantasy, absolutely contradicted by the reality of what has to happen to form a new species.
You are not adding back you are adding NEW. MUTATIONS ARE RANDOM.
