In fact I first read about the objections to Kettlewell's ‘ Peppered Moth study ' in noted biologist Richard Lewontin's book ' It aint necessarily so' . I don’t recall ever reading anything written by Jonathan Wells. I may have, BUT the name doesn’t ring a bell...
Camanintx :
If by Hominid you mean a transitional species somewhere between apes and humans , there are no such creatures / fossil evidence / bones ....there are only pretenders which do NOT withstand close scrutiny .
Camanintx :
Because that wouldn’t allow Natural Selection to be the driving force for evolution, since this is supposed to represent ‘ survival of the fittest’ ....Darwinian evolution demands a slow gradualistic chain of minor alterations, which gets selected for when they...

What Nonsense !
....Contemplating a purposeful/ intelligent evolution, does NOTHING to negate any other aspects of biology, other than ' Darwinism/ neo-Darwinism' itself. In fact, the more we learn about the incredible complexities of organic chemistry/ ' irreducibly...
Autodidact :
Well first and foremost , most experts now concede ( and even Miller agrees ) that the conditions set up in the Miller experiment, in all probability, did NOT come close to representing atmospheric conditions in the pre-biotic earth. Secondly, Miller cheated by employing a...
Autodidact:
Am I quite familiar with the total dearth of evidence to support ' Darwinian ' evolution. Completely spurious phylogenetic family trees ( masquerading as evidence ) only amounts to an academic ‘ sleight of hand’
Autodidact:
No they are not . H. B...
Autodidact :
I am saying that all of the ‘ phylogenetic’ family trees drawn by evolutionary biologists
purporting to trace the ' transition' from ‘ eohippus to horses’ ( and this is a common complaint about ALL phylogenetic family trees ) are pure fantasy !

Camanintx :
Frankly I'm sick of the rather pretentious / condescending commentary of some smug secularists on this site, who take ( for example ) Darwinian Dogma ( and it is dogma ) / an Atheistic world view ( in the guise of objective science ) at face value, without ever seriously...
Camanintx:
You want me to prove a negative ? :) YOU have not proven that it is a ' missing link' between fish and ' four footed' Vertebrates ...
Indeed not a single claim ever made by Darwinists is demonstrably true...although many MANY are demonstrably false !
Everything about the cosmos speaks to a purposeful/ intelligent evolution IMO...From the onset of the Big Bang , the physical constants of physics and chemistry all seem beneficently ‘ fine tuned’ in order to give rise to Intelligent / carbon based beings such as ourselves
Dna IS A...
Autodidact:
Darwinist : A proponent of Darwin's theory of evolution ( and/or more modern neo-Darwinism) . Contrary to popular opinion around here ( or so it seems ) it IS possible to believe in evolution without being a Darwinist. Evolution is a fact...BUT ...' Darwinian ' Evolution is a...
Camanintx:
I wasn't the one who first brought up Darwin's ' ostensibly' agnostic/ non-atheistic status...I merely responded to claims first made by Christine...
However, I've no doubt that the Atheistic aspects of Darwinism are crucial to address/ consider....Since this has been used to...
Camanintx :
Thank-you...I'll check into that !... Again , I'm NO FAN of religious
Fundamentalism ..or dogmatic atheism/dogmatic science...I believe the harmony and the ' TRUTH '....lies somewhere in the middle...
Kinda a YIN/YANG thing :)

Darwin was a racist whose highly influential writings openly promoted/ supported genocide ...that's NOT even a matter for debate ! IT'S A FACT !

Historically All...I REPEAT ALL...Of the leaders of the Eugenics movement on both sides of the Atlantic were ( and/or still are ) staunch Darwinists, that was NO ACCIDENT/ MERE COINCIDENCE. Eugenics was nothing less than the evil twin of ' Social Darwinism' ( whose name says it all...

For the second and final time....My use of LATIN was NOT superfluous! It had a crucial historical context which you were obviously IGNORANT OF... ‘ Creatio ex Nihilo’ was never off topic, as this doctrine presents a serious challenge to a materialist paradigm which...
Yossarian:
Au contraire....Darwinism/Neo-Darwinism is full of POMPOUS PRETENSE with enormous theological/ cosmological implications ( this aside from the fact that we were also discussing ‘ Creationism’ which in and of itself, would make this topic fair game...)

Yossarian:
So sayeth thou...but then again... that comment makes YOU appear IGNORANT :)
I mentioned ‘ Creatio ex Nihilo’ because it’s a highly pertinent theological doctrine whose roots can be traced all the way back to the early gnostics. The notion that not only matter...
