I don't comprehend.Well now that's interesting, because in your later post you state that such trees are based on genetic data.
I guess we should be happy that you corrected yourself.

First you claimed that phylogenetic trees were based on mere "guesswork", but then later you copied material that said they are based on genetic data. So I was a little hopeful that maybe you'd learned something.I don't comprehend.
Ha Ha. I like that.Well now that's interesting, because in your later post you state that such trees are based on genetic data.

Post #39:Ha Ha. I like that.
Could you find my exact words where I said it's based on guesswork?
Not that I am denying it. I just want to see how I worded it.
"Interesting"......I suppose that's one way to put it.Also if I copy paste a piece of material from a website, I have not stated anything. It's not a statement by me.
Ha Ha. interesting.
Yes. Exactly. I have not contradicted myself.Post #39:
"The evidence I claim to have is far from accurate.
It is merely guesswork based on my diagram.
This is the case with the phylogenetic tree"
"Interesting"......I suppose that's one way to put it.
The problem was that you said it was "guess work". Your link showed that it was not. You broke the Ninth Commandment and now refuse to admitmit. Nor was it even "inaccurate ". You shot yourself in the foot once again.Yes. Exactly. I have not contradicted myself.
The information I linked to was merely to show it was not accurate.
What they say, does not change what I said.
Gathering information by studying genes, does not mean you no longer have to assume, or infer, from your observations, in order to build your tree (coming at you shortly on the Watchmaker, with more details on that).
You might even remember I said this.
Everything about evolution is based on a tree that is inaccurate.
So looking for evidence to fit the tree can obviously appear supportive, but it is based on what was presumed.
I was just hoping you'd learn something.Yes. Exactly. I have not contradicted myself.
You said it was based on guesswork, the Wiki page said they're based on genetic data. So there we are.The information I linked to was merely to show it was not accurate.

And as we covered before, there's nothing problematic with inferences.Gathering information by studying genes, does not mean you no longer have to assume, or infer, from your observations, in order to build your tree (coming at you shortly on the Watchmaker, with more details on that).
Well, given that you're a Jehovah's Witness, your opinions on evolutionary biology don't carry much weight at all.You might even remember I said this.

Not correct. Try again. The hypotheses that we are discussing are scientific hypotheses. You left out an extremely important qualification. Was that due to ignorance or due to dishonesty?Hypothesis
a supposition or proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation.
Hypothesis
A working hypothesis is a provisionally accepted hypothesis proposed for further research, in a process beginning with an educated guess or thought.
Fancy words don't mean nuthin.
AmenI don't comprehend.
Hallelujah!Amen
As the Wiki page you linked to explained, phylogenetic trees are based on actual data, such as genetic sequences.Hypothesis

Genetic Sequencing. Ha Ha. What's the difference?As the Wiki page you linked to explained, phylogenetic trees are based on actual data, such as genetic sequences.
Is that a problem for you?
The difference between using genetic sequences and just guessing? You really need that explained to you?Genetic Sequencing. Ha Ha. What's the difference?
This is the same science that allows courts to decide if you are or are not the father or worse yet the rapist. Do you have a problem with this?Genetic Sequencing. Ha Ha. What's the difference?
See you shortly... as promised.
I'm just looking at a few posts before I get to you. Relax.

Only if.This is the same science that allows courts to decide if you are or are not the father or worse yet the rapist. Do you have a problem with this?
Don't we know from observation and experience that when complex information systems are discovered, there is always an intelligent source behind it? And considering the extreme complexity of DNA, the most complex of all functionally specific information ever found... it really amazes me how many people ignore those documented observations and experiences!
Peace to all.
The most important material in life is water. Water was there from the very beginning, and due to its unique chemical properties and its chemical stability, water induces changes in the organics while forever remaining the same. Water is one bookend. Evolution is about the other changing bookend.
Is anyone aware that the DNA and RNA are the most hydrated molecules in the cell. This means they have the most compatibility with water. This was the goal from the beginning. The goal of the water was to design/induce/evolve organic materials that were so compatible with water, there is very little potential between. The DNA is the result.
Water organizes everything in the cell. This is based on the water-oil affect. If we mix water and oil (organics) and agitate, we form an emulsion. The emulsion maximizes entropy. If we let the mixture settle, it will self organize back into two layers.
The impact of water on the organics of life induces self organization in both water and organics. Random mixtures of organic in water lose their randomness. Although this self organization lowers free energy, it causes the entropy to decrease, since two layers is a less complex system than the emulsion. This violates the second law which states that entropy needs to increase. The need to increase entropy after water separate the layers, is the drive of evolution.
Water is very stable, so it does not change. The change needed to satisfy the second law occurs on the organic side, with the ultimate goal of maximizing stable organic complexity within the water. The maximum hydration defined by the DNA was the goal from the beginning, since it simultaneously lowers free energy and maximizes entropy in water. The DNA was part of what is referred to as an intelligent or deterministic design. It was not a random design, since the exact atomic composition of DNA is keyed for water as inferred by its maximum hydration.
It is not coincidence that hydrogen bonding is the way the DNA binds as a template and holds the double helix together. This mimics water. DNA is important, but it is not what makes a cell alive. The interaction of the organics and ions with water causes life.
This can be proven by simply dehydrating a cell and seeing if anything works and whether it is still alive. What one will find is nothing works and al signs of life are gone. Next, add any other solvent you can think of to replace water. The result is nothing will work properly, including the DNA. There is still no life. Water plays a key role in the dynamics of the DNA and it cannot be replaced by any other solvent. DNA is tuned to water. The DNA is like a DVD. It has data, but it does nothing without a system to read it; water.
Modern biology is obsolete, since it does not include water in proportion to its contribution. Biology still uses a casino science approach, even though this approach was debunked in the 1950's, by the observation that showed that proteins fold with exact folds, instead of in a random way due ito thermal vibrations, as implied by statistical theory. The exact folding is caused by the water-oil affect. The science swamp was in it for the money and not the truth, since it should have change gears 60 years ago.
