    Does the Soul Exist?

    Would you say that it is the brain that is focusing, and as part of that focus is produces alpha waves?

    Did Science (and Mr. Rogers) Prove God?

    You said all of nature is an automated process, correct?

    No one should believe in evolution!

    The important point is that abiogenesis has nothing to do with evolution. If God created a simple bacteria which went on to evolve into all of the species we see today it wouldn't change the theory of evolution one iota. To use another example, scientists don't have to explain the origin of...

    No one should believe in evolution!

    One of those tests on that website is ERVs which I discuss in another thread if you are interested. The post above mine should have the link.

    No one should believe in evolution!

    One such test is found in my thread on ERVs. ERVs: Evidence for the Origin of Humans The fossil hominids which you try to ignore.

    Almost all modern species came into being same time

    I just showed you some transitions, and now you are ignoring them. Go figure.

    A simplistic evidence for purpose

    It's not that astounding when you compare what humans do to what chimps do. We are great at jogging across grass savannas. Chimps and other apes are terrible at it. Those changes allowed us to move out of the forest and into the savanna where there was less competition. Also, as our hands...

    A simplistic evidence for purpose

    The Australopithecines were transitional hominids and they had adaptations for both walking upright like we do and adaptations for knucklewalking like that seen in chimps and other apes. Do you think they were part of the experiment, one that spanned millions of years? The environment does...

    Found them for you: I don't know why you continue to talk about in-between fossils when you refuse to accept them when presented.

    Why Not Go With Democracy?

    I think democracy is the best system because there is a bloodless revolution with each election. Dictatorships and authoritarian type governments tend to change through bloody revolutions, which is a drawback. The chief drawback is that humans tend to like a single strong leader who makes the...

    A simplistic evidence for purpose

    If we look at other mammal species who walk on their hindlimbs and forelimbs, are they illogically made? What about chimps who use their arms for grasping and walking? Illogical?

    Taking their mtDNA with them. The paper under discussion is studying mtDNA from modern organisms. not ancient DNA nor fossils.

    Almost all modern species came into being same time

    They're dead. The in-betweens were the great-great-great-great- . . . grandparents of the modern populations. The authors only sequenced modern populations. They weren't surveying mtDNA from 50-200,000 years ago. That's what happens when females do not beget females. Their mitochondrial...

    Almost all modern species came into being same time

    That's exactly what you should see after a speciation event. Each lineage will start accumulating different mutations after a speciation event which produces two separate mtDNA populations. The "in-between" species would have been the ones from the past who were in-between the modern...

    Almost all modern species came into being same time

    They looked exclusively at mtDNA, and only a fraction of the mitochondrial genome, which will be sensitive to lineage collapse. Although population genetics isn't my strong suit, I do think it is entirely possible for a largish continuous population to produce these observations without a...

    Did Science (and Mr. Rogers) Prove God?

    The problem is that Etritonakin thinks everything is an automated system. Cloud production? Automated system. Lightning? Automated system. Planets moving about the Sun? Automated system. It becomes pretty meaningless when everything is an automated system.

    Epigenetic Inheritance in Humans

    Let me repeat: So what are the DNA differences responsible for these physical differences, and why do you think random mutations could not produce them? Epigenetic patterns don't appear to be inherited. I would fully agree that epigenetics plays an important role in development and phenotype...

    Does the Soul Exist?

    How do you determine that there is something separate called the "mind" that is controlling the brain? Reflexes are pretty easy to explain. They are hardwired reactions to strong stimuli. If enough pain neurons sense a lot of heat at one point in your body then neurons fire to retract the...

    No one should believe in evolution!

    On the flip side of this whole discussion is how people can disbelieve in a theory with absolutely no knowledge of the facts or the theory of evolution itself. Let's just dissect the above statement, shall we? You define evolution as change from one species into another species. You then say...
