Some questions about evolution (genetics etc) and possible implications for creationism

[Wandering Monk]

Here is a video explaining how retrovirus impact on human and chimp DNA demonstrates a common ancestor:

How is evolution like the magical transformation of a unicycle to a 747? Please explain and support your answer.

How is evolution impossible? Please explain and support your answer.

How is belief not a valid proposal to counter a theory that is internally and externally logical and based on existing evidence?

I already answered those.

 

[Dan From Smithville]

I already answered those.

You did not and you never will. You lob in claims and then run around saying you explained these things while having done nothing.

It is pretty much all I have come to expect from you.

I have no problem with higher education... my kids are going to college.

Uh huh. Then why are you afraid to learn here? You should be trying to educate yourself. A college education is very nice if one can afford it and has time, but it is never to late to try to learn.

I have no intention of going to college. Why do you look down on people that don't go to college? It's not always the best choice.

Why do you look down on people that work at McDonalds and claim they have useless college degrees and couldn't get real jobs? Why is working at a fast food restaurant not a real job? How do you know what education those workers have? Why do fast food workers deserve your disdain?

Isn't the real problem that you have a version of a belief system that conflicts with the evidence? Rather than learn the science and understand the evidence, you just make sweeping claims you cannot support and then run from questions and requests to explain yourself.

Science is not a world view that is against God or any religion or a conspiracy to promote some secret agenda. If you can come to understand that, you will have learned something.

I don't look down on McDonald's workers. But what is the point of a college degree and going in debt if you want to work at McDonald's?

I am not anti science. So keep your ridiculous insults to your self.

Pretty much everything you've said on these threads demonstrates that you are anti-science and also ignorant of the science behind evolution.

I specifically said that one could still learn without college. I tend to look down on people that ignore knowledge and pretend that they know better.

You can still learn, if you try.

 

[Subduction Zone]

I don't look down on McDonald's workers. But what is the point of a college degree and going in debt if you want to work at McDonald's?

Again, you can learn without college. You seem to be projecting quite a bit here. You have anti science views and try to insult those that would help you.

I learn something almost every day.

No, I was replying to what he said about my views on college. You just butted in and changed the topic.

Parts of Darwinism are devoid of science. That's the point. They rely on guesswork, not evidence.

Nope. But we can't stop you from thinking that. You look like you are trying to make yourself the victim here.

 

[Subduction Zone]

Really? Please be specific. What parts are guesswork? Please note, when you make a claim it is up to you to support it. Otherwise it just looks like you are making things up because you do not like reality.

 

[Dan From Smithville]

I don't look down on McDonald's workers. But what is the point of a college degree and going in debt if you want to work at McDonald's?

That is not the point you were making when you first raised your disdain for college education and used McDonalds workers as your model of disdain. Moving the goal posts is not unexpected and often seen by those that have no leg to stand on.

 

[Dan From Smithville]

You are very much anti-science of the pick and choose variety.

 

[Dan From Smithville]

Parts of Darwinism are devoid of science. That's the point. They rely on guesswork, not evidence.

Yet, you fail at every turn to do more than just repeat unsupported declarations of your unfounded personal opinion. Your continued use of the term Darwinism screams that failure.

Isn't it really true that you are just repeating the opinion of the socio-economic culture you were raised with an not voicing the logical conclusions of any review of the evidence, understanding of science, critical thinking or education?

Even if you are learning something new every day, you are not applying that knowledge to anything of value to your position or it is trivial learnings with no substantial probative value to these discussions.
