And I'm Genghis Khan.
If you have a better explanation than I do, let's hear it.

Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.
I assure you I understand fully.
You already agree with my explanation. Mutation in concordance with natural selection produces markings on the moths that resemble eye spots. What you needlessly refer to as "micro-evolution" or perhaps "adaptation" in an effort to avoid agreeing too much. What you can't demonstrate is the "God" or "created" part of your preferred explanation.And I'm Genghis Khan.
If you have a better explanation than I do, let's hear it.
I have guided you to information that condenses the findings of many scientists and medical people. This information clearly shows that sickle cells are a benefit in providing protection against malaria, and that where malaria is prevalent this is a worthwhile risk to take. You criticised another member for reading comprehension difficulties. What is that you do not understand about the information provided? Or have you simply chosen to ignore it because it conflicts with your beliefs?oh so having sickle cells is ok? I think not, it causes red blood cells to be deformed into a sickle shape.

information in the DNA code is what I am referring to. Do you believe that codes need an intelligent mind to be designed?What kind of information are you talking about?
You're right sickle cells are good, sign me up!!!I have guided you to information that condenses the findings of many scientists and medical people.

Sickle cells that block blood flow to organs deprive the affected organs of blood and oxygen. In sickle cell anemia, blood also is low in oxygen. This lack of oxygen-rich blood can damage nerves and organs, including the kidneys, liver and spleen, and can be fatal.
The information in the DNA code is Shannon Information, which does not need an 'intelligent mind' to be produced.information in the DNA code is what I am referring to. Do you believe that codes need an intelligent mind to be designed?
Sickle cells still block blood flow to organs & deprive affected organs of blood and oxygen. Is this what you want?But that's only if you have the anaemic form of it. The majority of people who have sickle cells DON'T HAVE SICKLE CELL ANAEMIA! WE'VE BEEN SAYING THIS REPEATEDLY!!
The eyespots are obviously created as that is the best explaination. You believe that chance mutations produced quite the masterpiece of owl eyes, on BOTH wings. Do you play the lottery, have you won?
It's always like that.Woah, woah, woah!
You're debating the validity of evolution but don't understand the basics of bilateral symmetry?
Yeeeesh. That's a bit like debating the Germ Theory of Disease and not understanding how viruses spread.
It's been calculated that a fully functioning eye can develop from a single light- sensitive cell in a few hundred thousand generations.I wonder how many "ABSOLUTELY LUCKY" mutations it took to get the job done.
How come you don't empty your bank account to play the lottery since you believe in luck so much?
It's not chance; it's natural selection which is faster and more powerful than chance.The eyespots are obviously created as that is the best explaination. You believe that chance mutations produced quite the masterpiece of owl eyes, on BOTH wings. Do you play the lottery, have you won?
It does not matter what I, you, or anyone else want. Statistically, if one lives in a malaria prone country the risk to life of having the sickle cell trait is less than the risk of not having it. If one does not have it one has a serious risk of dying or being seriously compromised by malaria. If one has the trait that risk is zero in most instances and very much lower in the remainder. On balance more people die from malaria as a consequence of not having sickle cell than do of having sickle cell, as less than 10% of those with the trait can develop sickle cell anemia.Sickle cells still block blood flow to organs & deprive affected organs of blood and oxygen.

As understood by anyone who's made the least effortIt does not matter what I, you, or anyone else want. Statistically, if one lives in a malaria prone country the risk to life of having the sickle cell trait is less than the risk of not having it. If one does not have it one has a serious risk of dying or being seriously compromised by malaria. If one has the trait that risk is zero in most instances and very much lower in the remainder. On balance more people die from malaria as a consequence of not having sickle cell than do of having sickle cell, as less than 10% of those with the trait can develop sickle cell anemia.
Repeatdly listing the effects of sickle cell anemia is irrelevant, unless you also list the devastating impact of malaria on those who lack the trait. Would I wish to have sickle cell anemia? Of course not. But would I wish to have malaria? No. And having the sickle cell trait, though it carries a small risk of leading to sickle cell anemia, is protection against the latter. However, the choice of which of these you have is not yours to make. It is down to nature and the genetics of your parents.

Mutations cause destruction and if you’re lucky, they won’t kill you, the trade off is not beneficial, you’re minimizing the harm sickle cell disease has on its victimsIt does not matter what I, you, or anyone else want.

So you don’t think it’s lucky that a moth ends up w 2 owl eyes on its wings to scare off predators?Woah, woah, woah!
