On Evolution & Creation

[John53]

It speaks of misleading terminology used by scientists. The author states within the article, "many scientific terms actually stem from societal assumptions and stereotypes, and this can communicate misleading messages to both scientists and the public." Also the title of the article is:

"As scientists, we need to stop using harmful and misleading terminology"​

So the answer to my question is... no you didn't read it.

Asking loaded questions from some website isn't going to help you. If you're truly interested in learning about evolution there are people on here more than capable of helping you. I'd join in because I have plenty to learn.

Those are my own loaded questions, I think of all by myself, I feel this one thing applies to most everything, most things are as strong and their weakest link.

I am not a Einstein or a scientist, just trying to use the English language and my own common sense.

I read it twice, so I'm not sure why you are saying that I did not read it. It's a very interesting read.

I am not the smartest rock in the box, but I will sure try my best.

Fair enuff, maybe you can explain chordata to me, it's a term I've never heard before.

Because it doesn't say what you claim. The misleading terms the author complains about are things like calling introduced animals alien.

The English language takes a bit of a hammering in these threads at times.

It was just an image I found on the internet, It's probably not useful I'm just trying to gather information.

I don't know how you think those kind of tactics are a friendly discussion. I confess to being a little disappointed and annoyed.

There's much more to it. Have a good evening.

What specifically are you talking about?

The post of yours I quoted where you admitted it was something you copied off the web without letting me know. I deserve the right to see the source in context.

The image would not paste onto this thread, I will try another image.

There was a time when there were no finches at all. Somewhere along the line they evolved. Isn't that itself enough to disprove evolution?

No.

As explained, finches themselves are a subspecies of their ancestors.
At no point in history did a species produce something other then more of itself or sub-spieces, which are also more of itself.

More then that even..... As with every gradual process, there also was never a "first finch".
Every individual ever born, was of the same species as its parents.

If you are a eukaryote how in the world are you able to type on your computer?

Maybe you should look up what eukaryotes are, before making a humongous fool of yourself.

 

[TagliatelliMonster]

Nope. My ancestors are less than 7,000 years old.

Enjoy,
