Well, you can believe that all you want, but you're wrong. You are not born with the DNA sequence to deal with all the different bacteria you encounter. You generate new antibodies when your body randomly mutates DNA in certain of your cells and selects DNA that happens to produce proteins (i.e. antibodies) that bind to the new invader. If a DNA sequence does indeed represent information, you did not have the information needed to make all of your antibodies. It just wasn't present in your body.
The fact that I'm not born with the DNA sequence to deal with all the different bacteria I encounter (but my ancestors likely did encounter) seems like good evidence against evolution... we're not passing down alleged "new information from mutations" for future generations to deal with these issues.
Again, at this point you're just making assertions that have nothing to do with reality. Which mutations are not the result of random processes?
The one I wrote below and you responded, starting with "Uh, what?...." so I'll respond there.
Uh, what? This is so confused that it's hard to unpack. We have similar pigmentation response to the sun because we share a small number of mutations that happened a long time ago; we don't all evolve new traits on the spot.
On the surface, you appear to maybe be contradicting yourself. At the top you said we don't carry down all of the DNA information to deal with the different bacteria, and now you're saying here that a long time ago we had mutations that DID get carried down for purposes of skin pigmentation and exposure to the sun. Both would seem "beneficial" to retain so why only "pick" the one and not the other?
I'm basically saying that you're talking nonsense about known biology in an attempt to tear down evolution. I haven't said anything about God or interventions.
Irrelevant. ID, creation, and other scientists have already torn it down for me. Like
@KomatiiteBIF, you seem to be requiring that I do the work they have already done and explain it to you here. If you disagree with their findings/conclusions, do you think CF is the venue or "vehicle" to be heard and get your issues addressed and shut down this "fringe" groups? With you being someone who has done and published research, I think you know the answer is not CF.
Because then he would have created the gene out of, you know, nothing, not out of similar but nonfunctional DNA.
That is an assumption and an artifact of your worldview, nothing scientifically observed to contest my worldview that God could have taken a created life form (the initial one from nothing), during creation, and used it as the template to form into another, into another, etc... until the close of the day (day 5 or day 6). Why do you insist he start from scratch ("nothing") every time? Doesn't say that in the Bible, there's no observable evidence to the contrary. You have just rejected an idea for which you again have no scientifically observable evidence, and made some assumptions.
I wasn't talking about your view of the history of life (which is of course also distorted), but your view of the ID movement. They are completely negligible.
Yes, my view on the history of life, which I contend is what is written in the Bible, is "distorted" - ha ha. Will you turn to trying to discredit and impugn God's word next in order to continue to uphold evolution? I think what the ID folks communicate is pretty clear and is continuing to gain more recognition and respect within scientific circles of many stripes so, like
@KomatiiteBIF it seems you are just resorting to ad hominem attacks now and I can only guess but think it's because while I don't articulate the research contradicting evolution to your satisfaction, these other scientists have already cut down the support for evolution to the root and the only place for you to speak from at this point is to criticize them, but not in a way that is to give a 'professional' critique of their work and propose the challenge(s) you see with their research that needs to be overcome or explained, but instead to critique their character.
