I always like seeing the structures: Wikipedia

Why yes I do. Here is a list of edits of the book, clearly showing the word creationists was changed to cdesign proponentsists in a mangled cut-and-paste. What exactly is the big problem that you thought existed?

Are you seriously saying that the famous biblical creationist authors (such as Dean Kenyon) of Of Pandas and People were referring to something other than biblical creation when they used the term "creationists", which they only changed to "design proponents" after the teaching of creationism...

The only reason I registered here was to put AV (and dad, but I don't think he's posting here any longer) on ignore. Try it, it will do wonders for your wellbeing. You won't see any of their posts, only those people who for whatever inexplicable reason are replying to them.

The oldest one I've found after some more idle searching was the guardian angel in It's a Wonderful Life - Henry Travers, born in 1874. I feel like quite a geezer. I posed the same question to my mom, 95 years old this October. She didn't see any TV shows until she was in college, they simply...

Can you show us this probability calculation? I would also like you to show us the calculation of the probability of a mutation enhancing the functionality of a protein. Can you show us what "generally" means here?

Still no calculations on your part. All I see is some furious hand-waving.

The first person to spring to mind was Shirley Temple, because she was the same age as my mother - and my mother is still alive! I tried to remember aged characters from TV shows when I was a kid, and the first one to come to mind was Leo G Carroll - Alexander Waverly in The Man From U.N.C.L.E...

Here is a list of new drugs approved by the FDA in 2019. As you can see, there's 48 in that one year alone, and that is only for the USA and only for new chemical entities (i.e., drugs that haven't been approved in any form for any other disease). So that's hundreds of advances, although pretty...

I'm not quite sure what point you are trying to make here, but among the various types of mutations are deletions, which result in the loss of portions of your genome ranging from a single nucleotide to entire chromosomes (which encompass multiple genes). This is standard genetics and I don't...

Yes, you were quite wrong when you stated a VAERS report was ten pages. It was empty bluster on your part because you were too lazy to find out how submitting a report actually works. No, you don't. You still haven't bothered to look at the form yet, have you? How much misinformation can you...

After all the hundreds of posts where you have been complaining about the Covid vaccines, you still are completely clueless about the limitations of VAERS data - even though the CDC carefully enumerates these limitations here - and even though I and others have posted these limitations here...

This is just bizarre. There is no enormous spike - the vaccinated are simply getting sick at the same rate as everyone else for ~10 days but then drop off as the vaccine takes effect. That's precisely what happened in controlled clinical trials, and exactly what I showed you in my first post...

That is the graph you showed. The cases are going up because we're in the middle of a pandemic, and people keep getting sick. That is all that is happening here. The graph starts at zero because no one is vaccinating anyone sick enough to immediately be hospitalized. But what do you think a...

Utter nonsense. You don't seem to understand how clinical trials actually work. There are only two categories here: placebo (=unvaccinated) vs treatment (vaccinated). That's it. There is absolutely no reason to transfer anyone from one category to the other. And I repeat: you can go and do...
