    Darwin's Illusion

    From the very beginning, Darwin was aware that the fossil record doesn’t support gradualism. He said in his book the Origin of Species “But just in proportion as this process of extermination has acted on an enormous scale, so must the number of intermediate varieties, which have formerly...

    Darwin's Illusion

    If a person is imagining a chess game with a pigeon, it doesn’t mean that a pigeon is a bad chess player, it only means that this person is hallucinating. Don’t you agree?

    Darwin's Illusion

    Stephen Gould passed away in 2002, Niles Eldredge is still alive. Their status as a highly influential paleontologist/biologist remains the same. Paleontologists have found many new fossils but it's not about new fossils, it's about “GRADUALISM”. With respect to “gradualism”, the assertion of...

    Darwin's Illusion

    I know you’re not. Is it true that you think God is a liar? If you do, then you may have a belief, but you don’t believe in God. I’m neither questioning nor judging your view. You’re entitled to your view. I’m merely making a comment.

    Darwin's Illusion

    Again, health is definitely the rule, illness is an exception, but the exception must exist otherwise there would be neither a freedom of choice or test as explained before in #1908 and #1960 If you insist to be the kid that cannot wrap his head around the reasons of the surgery, then let it...

    Darwin's Illusion

    I’ll assume you are genuinely confused. I know this may not be the case, regardless, I’ll elaborate further for the benefit of other readers. I didn’t say “there were no examples of gradualism in the fossil record”. I said, “GRADUALISM IS VIRTUALLY NONEXISTENT IN THE FOSSIL RECORD”. (See #...

    Indeed.

    Darwin's Illusion

    It is. Don’t you consider illness and death to be evil? Then your question essentially is “if God is all good, why there is evil”. I did explain to you that the test of “freedom of choice” entails that both wrong and right answers must be included among available choices. To be granted the...

    Darwin's Illusion

    My role/goal is to convey a message. Once I see signs that you got/understood the message, I’m done with my part. I don’t need you to acknowledge it; I only need you to understand it. Beyond that it’s on you. Escape tactics/moving the goalposts are actually signs that the message was...

    Darwin's Illusion

    You’re correlating evidence and choices in a way that gives a false implication that evidence is not lacking, it's not. In this context, too many choices necessarily mean confusion/uncertainty. The uncertainty only confirms the lack of evidence. It doesn’t justify it as you imply. The evidence...

    Darwin's Illusion

    Indeed, it’s separate fields (but related) and each should be discussed separately. “Important” is a relative word. Running towards the goal is important but it doesn’t guarantee that you will score. If you don’t score, it doesn’t count. You have a premise, which you assume to be true (I...

    Darwin's Illusion

    Actually, they do, in principle, evolution is a gradual accumulation of change from the simpler to the complex. Abiogenesis is essentially an evolutionary process of different type. It's still evolution even if alleged/unknown means of gradual change are different. See #1944 Exactly, the point...

    Darwin's Illusion

    The only one playing with words to confuse the uninformed is you. Do you think it's up to you to take out the word “scientific" and replace it with whatever you wish? And if you do that, why would anyone take you seriously? Is it because you said so? That’s pathetic. Did you notice that the...

    Darwin's Illusion

    Really? You never responded to # 1850 (or #1851)!! Shouldn’t you first respond to it before you call it "old lost argument"? your pathetic tricks only expose the weakness of your position. If you want others to take you seriously, debate ethically, give it a try.

    Darwin's Illusion

    Again, my focus is the principle. Not some irrelevant details; the principle concept is what matters. The principle is “There is no such thing as the scientific theory of Abiogenesis, it doesn’t exist, and was never established”. Why? Simply because evidence in that field of study is currently...

    Darwin's Illusion

    You know what, gnostic? You need to make an effort to understand what you read. Your typical approach is " I know better, then I'm correct”. You need to know that you don’t know better and you're always wrong. Let that settle, then relax, read slowly and try to understand. It would minimize...

    Darwin's Illusion

    Its only possible if there is a process that controls the outcome. Even if the process is not known/understood. Random is an expected behavior of mindless entities acting freely. Collectively such entities may constitute components of an outcome. If the mindless entities are controlled by a...

    Darwin's Illusion

    A program never thinks, a programmer always does. Mathematics doesn’t think, the mathematician always does. Math is nothing but a concept in the mind of the mathematician. The rules of mathematics only help us to recognize order/logic when we see it, but it doesn’t have any power or mechanism...

    Darwin's Illusion

    Nonsense, scientific racism is/was a scientific discipline. See #1857 Scientific racism applied evolutionary biology. Scientific racism - Wikipedia Evolutionary biology concepts as it applies to humans were understood in light of Darwin’s scientific book “The Descent of Man". These concepts...
