It would be some ad hominem attack if I ask a lot of questions that I do not know the answer to. I was just providing the answers to the questions I asked.
I also feel that I was being charitable. Posting an article that supported speciation should have been a boon to your position, and that agreement should be eagerly forthcoming to accept that the claim that this was the first evidence of speciation found up to that date. I see a lot of junk science out there. I even preceded the article with an explanation of why those examples you provided were not real evidence of speciation. I really was at a loss for a civil response.
If I told you that I found my "missing sock", would you take that to mean that I had no other socks prior to that time? Of course not.
This is silly. Until you find your missing picture of Mona Lisa, I am to assume that you have others?
Anyway, I apologize for getting of on the wrong foot in the discussion.
As to the discussion, I am sure you are much more grounded in the verse of your chosen position.
Darwin really is not responsible for the theory of evolution. It is not that grand a supposition, and one marvels that the general observation wasn't made hundreds of years earlier. That observation is that there are similarities in the design patterns of Nature.
That such a general observation should lead to panic in the streets is a profound comment on society. But, we are better off for the forces that led to the predicament.
But does that mean that the atheists are correct?
Hardly.
I would like to continue discussion, but first I think that my forthrightness should be met, and admissions that the evolutionists crowd have been to a large extent unfair and dishonest, and of course they feel justified. I am not going to argue that.
Ok, if you are still with me and not seeing red yet. Here goes. Lets take a look at how life develops, and while doing so, consider the fact that dna could also provide code (If it was meant to be understood, why is it called code) that says if this then that.
From my Human Anatomy and Physiology book.
Cell Differentiation
Since all body cells are formed by mitosis and contain the same DNA information, you might expect them to look and act alike. Yet obviously they do not.
A human begins life as a single cell--a fertilized egg cell. This cell reproduces to form two daughter cells; they in turn divide into four cells, the four become eight, and so forth. Then, sometime during development, the cells begin to specialize. That is, they develop special structures or begin to function in different ways. Some become skin cells, others become bone cells, and still others become nerce cells.
I think you get the drift. |
