    No, we both know that you realized that you were wrong especially about parroting Dawkins false claims about the eye design without much understanding of the facts. Didn’t you? See # 2876 Darwin's Illusion | Page 144 | Religious Forums

    Darwin's Illusion

    A joint Argentine-Swedish team led by Argentine paleontologist Marcelo Reguero discovered the oldest fully aquatic whale in Antarctica which dates back 49 million years. You can search it and verify it yourself. Here are some additional sources confirming the info. <i style="color:#BF1424;"...

    Darwin's Illusion

    Yes, the body is only a vehicle for the soul. The soul is the driver that gives life to the body. Consiousness/selfawarnes/qualia are all characteristics of the soul. The body imposes physical limitations on the soul and allows it to interface with the physical world in a specific physical...

    Darwin's Illusion

    I very much expected this response specifically from you. You didn’t get it. You never did. The point is that the emergence of entities through the same processes (chemical/physical) has nothing to do with the conclusion whether the specific arrangement of these entities is a manifestation of...

    Seriously? Go back to #3102 and demonstrate the reasons for your disagreement

    Darwin's Illusion

    Why should the specific required change happen at all? Per the ToE, mutation is not an intended reaction to address an environmental change but rather something accidental that may or may not happen? Meaning, in all likelihood antibiotics should kill the bacteria but what actually happens every...

    Darwin's Illusion

    “Contingent" simply means caused, nothing in the observable realm is an entity that account for its own existence or always exist without a beginning, i.e., all observable entities including the universe in its entirety are “contingent beings”.

    Darwin's Illusion

    Nonsense, I’m neither demanding a major change nor demanding a specific timeframe for the change to emerge. Evolution has all the time in the world. Time is irrelevant. Random nonbeneficial colors in the wrong environment never happen. Neither darker colors randomly emerge among polar bears nor...

    Darwin's Illusion

    Hi YoursTrue, knowledge is necessary, but knowledge is not about lots of details in a specific field but more importantly a collective/holistic view that allows logical placement of the puzzle pieces of reality. Our vision may get clouded by false knowledge/details. Yes, I wondered about the...

    Darwin's Illusion

    Yes, let's not forget our agreement on this point. If you understand that we observe design/purpose and that the emergence of the universe is not a matter of random chance (the prerequisites of chance didn’t exist), then you will understand that the existence of God is a necessary explanation...

    Darwin's Illusion

    Yes, the universe did appear, and life did appear. Both are contingent entities that exist within a contingent realm. Both are caused. I never claimed that they are causeless. In both cases order/purpose is manifested. The specific nature/characteristics of the effects drives our inference of...

    Darwin's Illusion

    No, it cannot. That is the point. “Design” is always intentional/purposive. There is no non-purposive substitute. It doesn’t exist. If the familiar processes “the automated process” create order and complexity, then the automated process itself is design. Design is a manifestation of purpose...

    Darwin's Illusion

    The point is the process is not random. The DNA replication machinery “proofreads” its own synthesis. “Control” is the rule; “errors” is the exception. Even when errors happen, the DNA repair mechanisms work to repair the damage. The cell machinery controls the process. Mutations are not random...

    Darwin's Illusion

    gnostic, you don’t play games like some others, and I appreciate that, but you are so confused, regardless of how many times I pointed that out, but you keep imagining that you understand what you really don’t, which is the reason why you rush to writing some irrelevant nonsense without making...

    Are you supporting TagliatelliMonster claim that the alleged LUCA is 2 billion years old? I guess you too are not aware of the alleged details of your fairytale. Your fairytale/Geisteswissenschaften assumes that LUCA lived around 4 billion years ago. Last universal common ancestor - Wikipedia...

    Darwin's Illusion

    This is ridiculous. I always provide evidence and credible sources; on the other hand, you never do. We shouldn’t argue about basic established facts. -The virus is the closest example in nature of a nonliving relatively simple genetic material. Even so it has a protecting membrane, but the...

    Darwin's Illusion

    The experiment showed that the change was neither slow nor random. the change (directed mutation) was quick and predictable.

    Darwin's Illusion

    That is the model. We observe what we observe because all contingent entities are purposefully caused/designed. Nothing is random. Again, the predictions are purpose/design/intention in every entity from the entire universe to subatomic particles. All observations support that model.

    Darwin's Illusion

    It's simply a false claim that contradicts empirical evidence. Studies by Harvard University showed that the mutation process happens at a frightening speed, not in years or thousands of generations but within 11 days, bacteria developed defense mechanisms against antibiotics that increased...

    Darwin's Illusion

    No, you’re making an assumption that it’s an old function that no longer applies because you don’t know its current function today. Again, unknown function ≠ no function. I did but I’m not concerned about any empty speculation about an alleged root function, my concern is the already known...
