    Destroying Evolution in less than 5 minutes

    Trump recently stated egg prices dropped 92% yet wholesale prices have clearly increased. Yet some MAGA supporters accepted the assertion because of their blind faith in Trump. This is an example of cognitive dissonance. When an individual has a strong faith which is brought into question by...

    Destroying Evolution in less than 5 minutes

    Good grief this is denial mode of the highest order, try to comprehend the reasons given below why bottlenecks are not formed by comparing how the dilemma is modelled to what is happening in the real world of evolution. Haldane’s dilemma is based on the following parameters. (1) It assumes...

    Here are the experimental results I referred to in my previous post. Test / Observation What It Measures Consistent with Neutral Theory Contradicts Dilemma Molecular Clock (e.g. cytochrome c, β‑globin) Rate constancy of protein/DNA divergence over time across lineages Clock‑like...

    Destroying Evolution in less than 5 minutes

    I'm not getting through am I. Do you recall I explained to you model based realities of which Kimura's Neutral Theory of Molecular Evolution is one of them and how they make real world predictions that are either supported by or rejected by experiment and observation? A multitude of experiments...

    Destroying Evolution in less than 5 minutes

    This the cognitive dissonance I was referring to which is the equivalent of putting your fingers in your ears and shouting blah, blah, blah. When mutations occur, most are neutral, some are deleterious (and quickly lost), and a few are beneficial (favored by selection). Haldane’s dilemma argued...

    Destroying Evolution in less than 5 minutes

    Is that so? It was pointed out to you a major flaw in the dilemma it assumed mutations occurred over a single lineage rather than multiple pathways in a population. Here is another refutation, the dilemma assumes only beneficial mutations become fixed in a population yet one of the models...

    We have been called many things over the years but "closed minded gravitists"??? And I thought "anti-falling physicists" where physicists who were not clumsy.

    Destroying Evolution in less than 5 minutes

    On the contrary you are denying the model’s explanatory power as the nature of your response is one of pure denial as exemplified by the argument by repetition fallacy; repeating the same misconceptions over and over will not make your argument correct. Theories are categorized as...

    Destroying Evolution in less than 5 minutes

    I suggest you re-examine the table in post 250 because the various models do explain “new, complex, specified systems or biological information”. You either refuse to accept the models because they do in fact represent a perceived threat to your faith or you not understand the contents which is...

    Destroying Evolution in less than 5 minutes

    Is this supposed to be specific criticism of the use of models in evolution or science in general? If it is the former then why should evolution as a science be treated any differently, because you see it as a threat to your faith? If it is the latter the use the model based reality has shaped...

    Destroying Evolution in less than 5 minutes

    I’m sure there are those who find your comments to be strawman attacks while scientists in general and of any persuasion would find them to be incomprehensible. Evidently you are not aware science uses model based realities which not only excludes God but the very intuitive definition of reality...

    Destroying Evolution in less than 5 minutes

    The first paragraph is a classic example of psychological projection at work, the second is indicative of ignorance and bigotry. Perhaps you are unaware some of the responses given to you in this thread have come from scientists who happen to be Christians. While I find your comments rather...

    Destroying Evolution in less than 5 minutes

    I'd like to know if evolution can be destroyed in less than 5 minutes why has there been an ongoing debate in this thread which is now around the 3 day mark and still counting?

    Trillions of Atoms

    Maintaining the high scientific standard in this thread I suppose dark energy and dark matter had light sucked out of them.

    Icons of Evolution

    Being a scientist and a Christian there should be no conflict between science and religion given the existence or non-existence of God is unfalsifiable. Science plays no favours for religion, atheism or anything in between, and a worldview is more of a personal opinion or faith which does not...
