Repeating a false claim doesn’t make it any less false.
First, you already acknowledged the fact about “lack of gradualism for terrestrial fossils” just stick to it if you can.
Second, your argument about terrestrial fossils is irrelevant. In my post #3244, I was taking about the Cambrian...
So what?
Any trained regularly used muscle gets stronger with better ability. If you don’t use it, the muscle loses its strength/ability. Moving the ears helps focusing on sounds, studies showed that learning to move the ears is possible with practice and training.
Can you learn to wiggle...
I’m not concerned about land or see fossils. It’s irrelevant. The point is the absence of gradualism/tree of life in the entire geological history. alleged exceptions are irrelevant, it doesn’t prove an allegedly dominate rule.
Again, in the Cambrian period, suddenly (in a geological instant)...
Time is relative and totally irrelevant in this context. The point is not about how long is a period in the geological history; it’s about the absence of gradualism.
The alleged LUCA is dated about 4 billion years ago. About 530 million years ago, and in a geological instant, the Cambrian...
I didn’t see you on the thread for some time. Great to have you back!
The challenges to Darwinian theory have led more than 600 scientists from major universities such as Stanford, Berkeley, Cambridge, Chicago and many other major universities throughout the world to sign a document titled: “A...
You’re confirming everything I said yet blaming me for your own lack of understanding!!
It would be a real ignorance of a proponent of the ToE to deny the great influence of the theory on social sciences and political sciences, a strong influence that gave rise to new adopted ideologies by...
Yes, the functions of claimed vestigial (useless) organs have been empirically documented. If diseases affect organs during the aging process, it doesn’t mean that these organs are vestigial.
See the article below; it sheds light on the function of the appendix. The article clearly stated “THE...
You focus on semantics and ignore the facts. As I said in my post # 3191, your claim that some rate of gradual change (necessarily numerous functional intermediates) precedes local optimum/stasis and continues after stasis with gradual transformation towards next local optimum is totally false...
You conflated the whole issue and turned it into some meaningless emotional accusations. I’m talking about the adaptation of a specific concept and the implications of such adaptation, not merely some empty accusations or even the accuracy of the theory. I never claimed that the "moral...
I’m not concerned how long are the periods of stasis, it's irrelevant. The point is that gradualism is nonexistent in the fossil record both before and after the periods of stasis. Do you understand?
What is the point? Mass extinction is not a concern for a mindless random process.
Why? I believe it’s the other way around. Here is why,
The concept of the ToE eliminates all references of morality/values and doesn’t make distinction between being human or animal. The only principal that remains in effect is the struggle for survival and survival of the fittest...
I would understand if you chose to hold tight to your general view on the ToE but it’s not rational to insist on defending some parroted ignorant claims that are simply and clearly false, especially after you became acquainted with the facts.
I explained to you why these parroted claims about...
The language that Eldredge and Gould used is “virtually nonexistent”. “nonexistent” is not about constant or varying rate. It simply means "doesn’t exist".
Punctuated equilibrium - Wikipedia
You imply that constant or some rate of change (I.e., many functional intermediates) precedes local...
Statistical significance of evidence in the fossil record is against gradualism. Alleged examples/exceptions don’t prove a rule that was predicted by the ToE to be the dominant fact in the geological history. i.e., gradualism.
Per the ToE, stasis should be preceded by gradual change and...
In your post # 3166, you claimed that I didn’t stick to my claim about whale evolution, now you changed your mind, admit that my claim (#1217) never changed and come up with some new nonsense about a previous refutation of yours that you never did. You never responded to # 1217. Other than...
So, you’re wrong.
What is the meaning that you understood from my post and didn’t agree with?
Ernst Walter Mayr was one of the 20th century’s leading evolutionary biologists, (he was called “the Darwin of the 20th century”). In the 2004 edition of his book “What Makes Biology Unique?” He...
This is a story, a wishful imagination not science or as Ernst Walter Mayr said “Geisteswissenschaften” (see # 331).
Chronological order of fossils that fit along a coherent evolutionary developmental line as gradual transitional variants (linear progression) to show an alleged...
