Physical Age - Existential Age = Embedded Age
well?
where is the empirical evidence?
yes, all 6 pages of it.Did you read the entire article, or did you stop at half the abstract?
yes, all 6 pages of it.
no, you can buy it just like i did.Can you post a link? The only ones I can find are pay sites.
no, you can buy it just like i did.
maynard goes on to say:Except you didn't buy it. You didn't read it.
Can you post a link? The only ones I can find are pay sites.
the text appears to be the same.Is this it:
http://www.researchgate.net/profile...ransitions/links/0a85e52e3ee0391fab000000.pdf
I put the abstract in google and the first result is a pdf file that comes up with the whole article.
apparently too much.So how much did it cost you?
maynard goes on to say:
"in many of the transitions listed in table 1 we find the common phenomenon that entities capable of independent replication before the transition can only replicate as parts of a larger whole afterwards"
so again i ask, where's the empirical evidence?
you will also note these changes was a result of major changes, not "small accumulating" changes.
he also states there is no theory that explains this.
what do you make of this truth?
You must have wanted to read it really badly.apparently too much.
what does that have to do with post 167?
i see.The purpose of the article wasn't to present empirical evidence, as you would've known had you read it through:
"The article is more an agenda for future research than a summary of what is known. But there is sufficient formal similarity between the various transitions to hold out the hope that progress in understanding any one of them will help to illuminate others."
IOW, you're holding the pirate's map, complaining that gold doubloons aren't spilling out of it.
Doesn't work that way, son -- you have to dig, first.
Much like your first "truth," it becomes much more useful when you show it all, and don't just stop at half.
Half-truth, you mean.
I think the quote is a lot more interesting when it's not mined.
"There is no theoretical reason to expect evolutionary lineages to increase in complexity with time, and no empirical evidence that they do so. Nevertheless, eukaryotic cells are more complex than prokaryotic ones, animals and plants are more complex than protists, and so on. This increase in complexity may have been achieved as a result of a series of major evolutionary transitions. These involved changes in the way information is stored and transmitted."
A simple formula is hard to understand?
what exactly are you saying?Its good to get the whole context of the quote out there, but I have to disagree with the premise. In particular, I think there is every reason to expect evolutionary lineages to increase in complexity with time.
Why do you think that it "spells almost certain death for evolution as you know it"? I saw nothing there. Perhaps it lies in the word "complex". Creationist are always trying to claim that one life form is more complex than another, but they can never define what "complexity" is. It seems to be much like their undefined "kinds", which I have hijacked until they come up with a better definition. My definition of "kinds" is a synonym of "clade".what exactly are you saying?
these doctors of science don't know what they are talking about?
the deeper meaning of this article spells almost certain death for evolution as you know it.
Then show me you understand it.Easy to understand, hard to believe.
You're entitled to your opinion.The idea of "embedded age" instead of real age isn't true.
God would not indulge in such deception as providing evidence of events that never took place.
And you have yet to show any difference at all. Call me when you finally do show that there is any difference.Then show me you understand it.
You're entitled to your opinion.
But as long as you demonstrate you don't understand it, I'm not going to take you seriously.
He didn't.
Embedded age is "maturity without history."
What you described is Omphalism or Last Thursdayism.
