And still no names of those scientists, which you claim can provide evidence that retroviral insertions are not in the same locations for chimpanzees and humans...?
I think you could find some of those names on my links. Do I need to dig them out for you?
That's true as an overall picture, but if you study the progression of low entropy systems you'll find that the entropy gradient drives them towards thermodynamic equilibrium by way of the dissipation of energy. This favours configurations that maximize the dissipation of energy - and guess what? energy dissipation roughly corresponds to system complexity. So over the lifetime of the system as a whole, there is a tendency towards increasing complexity that peaks around halfway through, then drops off as the entropy gradient flattens.... Everything in the universe has a beginning and the atomic bonds are unstable and they begin to break down from the beginning. The suggestion that errors, mistakes and mutations builds and creates anything is absurd beyond imagination. Things do not build and create themselves, they decompose. Life goes from order to chaos.
This is patently untrue - even creatures with the simplest genomes are still around after billions of years and uncountable generations, and the most complex genomes (e.g. mammals), that one would expect to be most susceptible to such degradation, are still going strong, and have become ever more advanced over time (although at the expense of the overwhelming majority).Life does NOT go from Chaos to order. Genetic information is lost over time, information is not gained or created though mistakes, errors and mutations.
Did you not see my post #788 ?Have you seen what radioactivity does to a tomatos? They are selling gages now so people can see how radioactive their veggies are. Contrary to popular belief you can not create teenage mutant turtles with radioactive material.
Evolution is a Latin word that has been around a long time. It currently has been kidnapped by the infidels and they are holding it hostage but sooner or later they will release it and we can go back to a proper understanding of just what the word evolution means. They want to rewrite the dictionary but this will all be shortly lived.
Then evolutionism isn't science, because they need to believe the opposite happened naturally.
I have always thought that one of the strongest proofs of evolution is that a species in a stable environment will remain stable and thriving for a long period of time.This is patently untrue - even creatures with the simplest genomes are still around after billions of years and uncountable generations, and the most complex genomes (e.g. mammals), that one would expect to be most susceptible to such degradation, are still going strong, and have become ever more advanced over time (although at the expense of the overwhelming majority).
How does the fact that houses wear out prove that all things wear out? If this is true, then babies would not get bigger and stronger. Sick bodies would not heal themselves. A trapped dog would not figure out a way to get out. Diamonds and oil would not form underground. There are many instances of things getting better. Not everything is wearing out. As I said, the law of entropy always increasing does not apply to open systems with a flow of energy. They can indeed have a decrease in entropy.Let me tell you a story of an event that had a very profound effect on my life....
The suggestion that errors, mistakes and mutations builds and creates anything is absurd beyond imagination.
So it is indeed YOU that "insistence on misrepresenting his statements".
Collins seems to be conflicted on the purpose of the universe. On the one hand he sees mindless forces doing whatever the laws of physics direct, and on the other hand he sees the hand of God working out his plan. He sees both as doing the same thing. It's not unlike the view I took of life when I was a Christian. I had been taught that all things work together for good, that God had a purpose in everything that happened to me. But I also was learning that storms were caused by the mindless forces of nature that had no knowledge that I was planning a picnic that day. So if it rained on my picnic, was that the mindless interactions in the atmosphere causing a storm, or was it God working on my character? My answer was "yes", it was both. And so I persuaded myself that God had a purpose behind everything that happened in my life, which just so happened to be the same thing as was happening due to the purposeless forces of nature. But it became hard to believe that cold fronts were acting as they did based on God's plan for me, or that others were treating me in a certain way because of God's ultimate purpose for me, rather than that the people were choosing that on their own. Eventually I saw that the events that were happening to me were not really from God, but that this is just the way the world works. Mindless forces and other people do things, and that is that. God isn't micromanaging any of this.IF you read what Collins says you will see that God had a plan from the beginning. What part of the word "plan" are you having trouble understanding?
According to Collins: "If God is real, and I believe he is, then he is outside of nature. He is, therefore, not limited by the laws of nature in the way that we are. He's not limited by time. In the very moment of that flash in which the universe was created, an unimaginable burst of energy, God also had the plan of how that would coalesce into stars and galaxies, planets, and how life would arrive on a small planet near the outer rim of a spiral galaxy. And ultimately, over hundreds of millions of years, give rise to creatures with intelligence and in whom he could infuse this search for him and this knowledge of good and evil. And all of that happened in his mind in the blink of an eye. While it may seem to us that this whole process has the risk of randomness and, therefore, an unpredictable outcome, that was not the case for God."

The weather is caused by the fact that the Earth and the Moon are duel planets. The difference between the temperature at the polls and the equator is 50 degrees. So the air and the water is working to balance that out. The warm air and water is drawn to the north. As the cold air and water moves south. This year the Gulf was exceptionally warm and that had quite an impact on the weather that we had this summer. We have a little control over the weather as Christians when we pray. Jesus was able to calm the storm. If we did not have the moon then the planet would be a lot more stable and we would not have the weather patterns that we have.But I also was learning that storms were caused by the mindless forces of nature that had no knowledge that I was planning a picnic that day.
That is your understanding of the situation. Of course it is pretty obvious that I see things different than you do.Dude.......
No matter what "sprititual" dimensions he religiously adds to reality, the fact remains that he accepts the mainstream scientific theories concerning biology.
You know... the very same mainstream theories that you are arguing against non-stop.
With your "mutation theory" nonsense and whatnot...
That is your understanding of the situation.
Of course it is pretty obvious that I see things different than you do.
I didn't say you'd left. You just gave up any effort explaining where low frequency genetic variants come from.Last I recll...I'm still here.
What about it? Do you have problems with the estimate I gave you?Now, about the percentage of mutations that are considered as beneficial.
GM Crops are banned in 38 countries. Why do you suppose people do not believe that these mutated foods are good for them?Did you know that we have used radiation to cause random mutations in at least 3,000 crop plants to generate new varieties? They go through around 10,000 to one million mutants to select the right one. That gave us red grapefruit, varieties of rice, wheat, barley, pears, peas, cotton, peppermint, sunflowers, peanuts, sesame, bananas, cassava, sorghum, and disease-resistant cocoa. The mutant wheat is used for bread and pasta and the mutant barley for beer and fine whiskey. It's called mutation breeding (mutagenesis), and these days it's relatively easy to see where in the genome the mutations have occurred and even discover how they take effect.
Radiation causes the same kind of mutations in the natural world too, although in a less controlled way.

Ignorance, the rumour mill, conspiracy theories, a pervading sense of loss of control and influence, etc; but mainly ignorance. And are you sure that ban applies to mutation breeding? Are red grapefruit, disease-resistant cocoa, and those wheat and barley varieties banned in 38 countries?GM Crops are banned in 38 countries. Why do you suppose people do not believe that these mutated foods are good for them?
You the first person to falsify yourself. I do not write books on here, I just use shorthand and very brief posts. Then if people want to go into more detail as you seem to want to, then that is fine.FALSE: google "moons role in earth stability".
The moon actually stabilizes the earth's tilt.
The point is we have the weather we have because of the tilt of the earth in relation to the sun. If it were not for the tilt of the earth then we would not have seasons. " Seasons result from the yearly orbit of the Earth around the Sun and the tilt of the Earth's rotational axis relative to the plane of the orbit" wikiWeather patterns have no connection to moon patterns
Cost efficient is not the same a beneficial. Most of the food in America is processed and is harmful to your health.the fact is that radiation-induced mutations have been used to produce crops that have selected benefits over the originals
