    Darwin's Illusion

    It depends on the person’s understanding of what is life or death. An atheist would equate death to non-existence; in this case death came first. You may understand death as the loss of life, then for death to be possible, there must be a life that preceded it. On my end, I understand it...

    Darwin's Illusion

    Really? Would you kindly let me know the source of my “world class quote-mining”. I would appreciate a response that attempts to address the subject of the discussion rather than some irrelevant statements. Thanks anyways.

    Darwin's Illusion

    Seriously? So, scientists are interested to conduct an ongoing study in experimental evolution for decades from 1988 till now (Lenski’s E. coli experiment) but no one is interested to utilize advanced techniques of biotechnology involving genetic engineering or molecular breeding to create new...

    Darwin's Illusion

    How do you know whether the machinery is conscious or not or controlled by a conscious entity? Latest research showed that even the smallest living cells (prokaryotes) are cognitive with the ability of input processing/decision making All living cells are cognitive - ScienceDirect Regardless...

    Darwin's Illusion

    DNA is the language of life. Base pair (bp) is the unit of measurement of DNA, the human genome contains about 3.2 billion base pairs. The way base pairs store the info is analogues to a machine code/binary system. A “bit” is the smallest unit of data in the binary system with a value of 0 or...

    Darwin's Illusion

    No, the inability of interbreeding is not enough delineation of species. Great Danes and Chihuahuas cannot mate, yet they are not different species. Sorry if you understood my statement as “condescension”. The intent was to get your attention to the point. I’m not sure if you actually meant...

    Darwin's Illusion

    No, ring species is a group of subspecies. The variants around the circle are subspecies. See the article below about ring species by Oxford University Press. Ring Species | Encyclopedia.com The end species are connected by a chain of populations, and each population can exchange genes with...

    Darwin's Illusion

    I guess you’re happy with your own relative mental construct of reality and don’t care about the absolute truth that is independent of your own perception. You’re the creator of your reality. If this is the case, then sure, you’re free to choose for yourself. Since the context was abiogenesis...

    Darwin's Illusion

    I’m not imagining anything; it's the other way around. I’m talking about real life, on the other hand, you’re talking about imaginary random transitional forms that neither exist nor can survive. You imagine transitional creatures that don’t have all interdependent physiological systems that...

    Darwin's Illusion

    No I will. Delineate a pathway to the evolution of a simple organ such as the “Epiglottis” or the “Anus” and I’ll accept evolution. Show me a single random body plan (such as longer limbs on one side that violate the reflective symmetry rule) from the Cambrian period till now and I’ll accept...

    Darwin's Illusion

    Really? Why we never see examples of these worthless new random changes in nature? Why we never see random dark color mutations among polar bears? Pathetic.

    Darwin's Illusion

    I did explain my point about irreducible complexity in #5999. You didn’t pay much attention and simply ignored everything I said. You may go back and read it. Darwin's Illusion | Page 300 | Religious Forums Lets keep things simple, the main point is specifically about “survival”. If the...

    Darwin's Illusion

    When we talk about the theory of evolution, we’re specifically talking about the Modern Synthesis. Currently there is no other agreed upon theory. Latest advances of the 21st century science disproved the MS and all its fundamental assumptions. I didn’t only highlight some keywords of the...

    Darwin's Illusion

    really? shouldn't the random change appear first before selection would play any role? pathetic

    Darwin's Illusion

    So only the scientifically illiterate would make such a mistake but you have seen scientists make this sort of error again and again. I guess scientists are scientifically illiterate. its not only your argument but also your ad hominem is pathetic.

    Darwin's Illusion

    demonstrate why not from an evolutionary perspective, isn't the evolutionary process is random? a fifth limp may randomly appear then selection may keep it or eliminate it, right? I guess it may help you when you try to climb a tree.

    Darwin's Illusion

    yes, they did and yes, the Arabs lost their edge but that is irrelevant to the fact that the “Islamic Golden Age" established the basis of modern science and to a great extent contributed to the betterment of humans. I never claimed that the Golden Age is still ongoing. as you said the Arabs...

    Darwin's Illusion

    You know better than anyone else here that consciousness/cognitive capacity is an essential aspect of life. The ability of input processing/decision making establishes the fundamental difference between living organism and dead matter. As previously discussed in #6001. All living cells are...

    who can make such claim? You? Pathetic. provide a reference of an expert claiming such errors, your mere claims have no value.

    Darwin's Illusion

    How many times should I repeat? the Islamic scientific achievement of the “Islamic Golden Age” established the basis of the modern scientific method. see what Sarton & Briffault wrote and the link below. Professor George Sarton the founder of the discipline of the history of science wrote...
