micro vs macro evolution

How about one non-Bronze Age Text with no mention of trilobite?​

That’s just a badly done counterfeit of the original Bronze Aged Text.

They do have one thing in common; both are flawed to have missed this.

It's inevitable, really. For every mutation, there exists its inverse. So if AGCT -> AGGT represents a loss of information, then AGGT -> AGCT must represent a gain.

No no! That would violate the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics! Both must be a loss!!!111!!!(e^pi-pi)/20!!!11!

(Ruh roh... did I just create another monster? Oh, no, that would be adding information... phew.)

Hah, your logic is just so awful. Imagine if textbooks did this.

"Hey uhhh, this new textbook with updated research is wrong because my old one doesn't have this information/contradicts X"

And what does "this new textbook with updated research" say about the trilobites on Day Five of the earth's existence?

That's right --- let's see your education put those two together into a paradox, instead of a contradiction.

They are your words. If I am mistaken that they contradict each other, go ahead and explain how.

From the guy who wrote:

"We hold science to a higher standard."

and

"Science can go take a hike."

That's right --- let's see your education put those two together into a paradox, instead of a contradiction.

They are your words. If I am mistaken that they contradict each other, go ahead and explain how.

Am I to assume you can't do it?

We can argue about what constitutes a "mechanism" if you like. The point is that a scenario where a mass extinction leads to numerous adaptive radiations in the following centuries is not the same where many small changes accumulate over time to produce not only new species, but new genera, families and higher taxa as well.

Agreed. At the very least it's faster and more universal. I was just musing, as always

Though the two are certainly not mutually exclusive.

Hmm, actually, what proportion of major taxa (like, families and above) have demonstrably emerged in post-extinction radiations? How (if at all) does this change as we go to more and more inclusive taxa?

(Once again my thought processes are outputting too many questions )

Nothing, your religion is a fairly tale with no support. Many christians don't have a problem with this and others, like you, defend it so vehemently because it's so integrated into your own identity that any piece of data that so much as indirectly contradicts it is an attack on you.
