Absolutely. Though it is not a comfort issue. It is a time management issue.
I intentionally avoid the political stuff too, but that is my REAL weakness, so it was easier to avoid. You guys have fun!
No. I clarified the answer I gave earlier regarding the apparent assertion that Christians wanting to control everyone: "The people doing the oppressing insist that they are doing God's work."And you just answered your own question.
Any test result or discovery that forces a change to any theory.
Which is why I'm outa here. You guys have fun. I hope you solve this before I die and can let me know who "won".Then perhaps you should not make assertions that you will not have the time to support or explain.
That happens too. But what is forgotten is that, though the discoveries are wonderful, over time they have altered the whole concept of evolution to the point that it has very little in common with the original theory. It's because the original theory was based on massive ignorance.So... "making progress" and "learning" is.... "biting them"?
Strange. I was under the impression that whenever scientists make progress and learn new things, that's when the bottles of champagne are opened and Nobel prizes are handed out.
So you link to papers to make a point, while the papers don't agree with that point at all, on purpose?of course. they believe in evolution anyway. i never said otherwise.
i gave this evidence to prove that there is no realy nested hierarchy in nature.
and this is exactly what we found:
you can see the distribution of the "alx3" gene. its clearly non hierarchical and the author try so "solve" this by convergent loss.
Which is why I'm outa here. You guys have fun. I hope you solve this before I die and can let me know who "won".
That's not really accurate... But it doesn't matter.That happens too. But what is forgotten is that, though the discoveries are wonderful, over time they have altered the whole concept of evolution to the point that it has very little in common with the original theory.
It's because the original theory was based on massive ignorance.
And 50 years from now you can count on our current knowledge being seen similarly.
...if the Lord waits...

... for his followers to stop relying on 'God works in mysterious ways' and making assertions that they cannot support or explain....if the Lord waits...
Not in dispute. The how is.As I said: everyone has no-white ancestors. You, me, everyone. This is simply a fact.
Then what makes yo certain that .01% in non white since they couldn’t read it?I am 99.99% western European, and the 0.01% left was DNA they couldn't read. Genetics tests are really interesting!
A good definition of Kind as well."...a group of living organisms consisting of similar individuals capable of exchanging genes or interbreeding. The species is the principal natural taxonomic unit, ranking below a genus and denoted by a Latin binomial, e.g., Homo sapiens."
No. I clarified the answer I gave earlier regarding the apparent assertion that Christians wanting to control everyone: "The people doing the oppressing insist that they are doing God's work."
Unless you were talking about followers of islam, which is both political and evangelical. Christianity is purely evangelical, though a community of Christians will affect their area's culture, as ALL people do, regardless of their religious beliefs, or lack thereof.
Opinions vary.I already know who won - and it is not the people that rely on bible verses, assertions, and puffing up their own credentials and claimed 'knowledge' to claim victory.
Well, it's not precise, I'll give you that. I was only going for "generally speaking", though.That's not really accurate... But it doesn't matter.
Opinions vary.
The muslim ban is a good thing. I've said since 9/11 that Islam should be treated the same as the German Bund was treated during WWII. Islam is completely incompatible with the constitution of the US. It should not be treated as a religion, but as the political entity it is, and the US should be at war with this political entity. A simple reading of the Quran answers all the questions on this. But this is definitely the wrong thread to get into this.What - you don't think that is true?
This is not all about you, you know.
We have evangelicals on a daily basis insisting that Trump is basically God's own representative on earth (Jim Bakker, Franklin Graham, Falwell, etc.), and supporting things like the Muslim ban and all manner of anti-social ideas from the current admin.
They don't care that some guy on the internet has found a bible verse that is contrary - they can find bible verses supporting whatever they want.
Ah, so you are the ultimate authority on what Christianity is and is not as well.
I guess all those Christian Nationalists out there are not real Christians - yet here you are telling biologists that they are wrong about biology instead of correcting these power-mad Christians.
Don't worry, They are short posts. No mental energy is necessary.And not all opinions are valid.
I support my claims.
I don't run off, claiming not enough time, then spend another 20 minutes writing more posts.
You've been reduced to tangential one-liners.
No longer worth the effort to respond.
But I have.Odd, then, that you have failed to show evolution to be false.
Guess it is not so easy.
Why would you, it disproves your theory.I have not commented on the Huskies issue, you seem to be easily confused.
No different than your tale of them migrating from the Middle East to China. You only got the starting point off by a few thousand miles, but they were close.That was hilarious.
Sure, there was a great flood (funny that ALL civilizations that arise next to water have flood myths...) - but no mention of God... Or any of the other bible people or stories - and no mention of China in the bible.
And you want to accuse others of inventing stories?
Again - hilarious.
And so cool that you goggled this and found a creationist tall tale to support you.
About as hilarious as one race becoming another through mutation, when you have only observed a new race come about from mating.... but empericial evidence of real life is not evolutions strong point.Even more hilarious - 100% speculation presented as an alternative "explanation" to another hilarious bit of nonsense.
More evidence than you got that mutations did it, since Africans remain Africans despite mutations."Descendants of Ham included the Egyptians and Sumerians, who founded the first two great empires of antiquity, as well as other great nations such as the Phoenicians, Hittites, and Canaanites. The modern African tribes and the Mongol tribes (including today the Chinese and Japanese), as well as the American Indians and the South Sea Islanders, are probably dominantly Hamitic in origin."
Pure, unadulterated, 100% unsupported assertion - no evidence at all!
You have, that new races come about by mutation, when the observational data contradicts you.Again, you accuse US of making things up?
And yet how does a random genetic mutation fix itself in the population if not from descent? So the population must even in your fantasy be descended from two.What else did Henry Morris, PhD, Christian minister and creationist, say about the 'Hamites'?
Oh yes -
"Often the Hamites, especially the Negroes, have become actual personal servants or even slaves to the others. Possessed of a genetic character concerned mainly with mundane matters, they have eventually been displaced by the intellectual and philosophical acumen of the Japhethites..."
Henry Morris, "The beginning of the World", 1991.
Looks like ol' Henry was a bit of a white supremacist...
Your beliefs, as seen in what you provide as evidence, have no support.
YOU claim a concrete, discreet group of real individual ancestors for all humanity - Adam and eve, then a major population bottleneck of 4 inbreeding pairs (the flood), followed by a re-population and re-diversification of all of humanity in ~4500 years, and the best you can muster is some laughable assertions and wild extrapolations.
We don't NEED a specific common ancestor to draw rigorous genetic, biogeographic, and fossil-based conclusions.
We don't need to google every time we come across a word or concept that we should know having 'debated' these issues for years.
We don't need to put 100% unquestioning, unyielding faith in the claims that we do not understand put out by a collection of websites and gurus in order to 'argue' for our cause.
So please do not project your own shortcomings onto others. it is unbecoming.
And by the way - you did not even try to address my questions -
So which of Noah's sons or daughters-in-law was Asian?
How did this Asian meet up with a middle eastern man/woman in these ancient times?
How did the Asian "allies" get repressed, then somehow later down the line, post-flood, when Asia was finally habitable again, did people from Ararat migrate there, mate, and have just their 'Asia' "allies" recombine to produce Asians from a middle eastern/Asian amalgam, since after all you claim with such confidence that 'And will never change an Asian into any other race..'
Evidence for this magical genetic assertion.
