Re: What about creationism/ID?
quote:
What I’ve said is that ID doesn’t need relatedness, or use it as evidence. As a contrast, Evolution makes vast connections without a factual basis. For example, Ford, Chevy, Toyota, and Honda all make a car that is similar in size and shape. Yet, we don’t conclude from similarity that they are even remotely related.
The use of technological evolution in comparisson to biological evolution is a false analogy. New cars are made from scratch, not from previous cars giving birth to them. Organisms are related because they share genetic material, something cars don't have. While it is true that appearance is not enough to establish relatedness, after all dolphins and sharks are similar in overall size and shape yet one's a mammal and the other is a cartillagenous fish, we may use specific characteristics of appearance to give clues to relatedness that can later be confirmed by genetics such as bone structures in the skull.
