Creation/Evolution Fundamental Assumptions

[Insane_Duck]

Large scale phenotypic changes aren't assumed, they're inferred from the evidence.

Or in many cases "proven". The evidence indicates that macro evolution happens like me pressing 1:00 on my microwave indicates that it will run for a minute before stopping. All evidence is inferred to mean something on some level, but in evolution's case it indicates very strongly.

(just preempting an argument)

Only by evolutionists.

Do you have a conscience? All you are doing is lieing.

Macroevolution has not been proven, its never been observed for starters.

Did you read my post with the image in it? It was on the last page.

Those transitions have never been observed. They are hypothetical only.

Have you ever observed Australia?

Edit: Not only did I explain that there are other ways to prove something that observation, (good, reliable ways) but I also mentioned that we have each of these animal's fossils and have linked them through genetics.

So, for me, it's a bummer that evolution is the one everybody gets emotional about. I'd much rather it be the controversy over the elastic constant or gravity or Buridan's alternative to the Newtonian system.

It's only you guys that get emotional over it. We only get emotional when people try to force non-science into the science classroom.

Do a search on "species stabilization" ... I think that's the term. It's an idea that had some support around the time of Darwin, but politics took history a different direction.

You mean punctuated equilibrium?

So why was Piltdown in the school textbooks and classrooms for over 50 years?

Why is macro taught in the classrooms when all we observe and tested is minor variations or changes?

Do you get equally emotional should someone try to force science into someone's beliefs?

Hey, you guys are the ones trolling around the Physical & Life Sciences section. If you don't want to hear about science, then take a hike!

Ever wonder what happened to research1 through research4? Banned.

(Your guess is as good as mine for why he skipped 5 and went to 6.

Who corrected the mistake?

"we"? When was the last time you tested any variation? Which variation did you test? which test did you perform?

In case you are wondering, the last variation I tested was rs10485441, the test was linear regression in an eQTL study, and I did it yesterday.

You brought your beliefs into a physical and life sciences forum. Then you thought they were entitled to be treated with the same weight as physical and life sciences.

Whose fault is it if you've wandered into the wrong place?

In other words, check our Christianity at the door, right?

It would have been nice if some of us "science age plebeians" would have abstained from keeping silent when the physical & life sciences reared its ugly head in Germany, wouldn't it?

Ours, thank Heaven -- since you guys would eventually come for us.

Godwin's law?

Nah, just your self-serving gibberish.

You'd be surprised how many Christians are able to separate the two.

Delusions of persecution, AV -- are you that desperate to feel special?
