I highly doubt it.Let's try this a different way, since you still don't seem to be understanding...
Do you think all of these shared a common ancestor?
We don't need it because it is irrelevant to the things you mentioned. Common design works just as well. I'm advocating we don't need evolution from a common ancestor to further scientific inquiry.Then what is your point?
Evolution is an applied science in modern biology. You keep saying we don't need to use it... because?
If you're not advocating turning our back on scientific inquiry and knowledge, then what exactly are you advocating?
Not necessarily. Certainly it would raise the question of who or what, but it need not explicitly be addressed.
Evolution is the only answer today because it's the only valid scientific theory that actually explains the biodiversity of life on this planet.
Except that it's clearly not given that its one of the cornerstones of modern biological sciences and an applied science to boot.
You can claim to the contrary all you want, but that's just pure denialism.
if we will take stalactite growth rate for instance, it may point to a young earth. for instance: an average stalactite growth rate is about 1 cm per 100 years. so if the earth is indeed so young we expect to find that most stalactites (dont be confuse with stalagmites) should be no more then 1 meter long. i think its indeed what we find in most stalactites caves:
Evolution from a common ancestor cannot be falsified either since we cannot see or know or test or show a common ancestor.
Species.Humans from humans.
Birds were, and are theropod dinosaurs.Birds were never anything else but birds.
Ooops.Spiders were never anything else from spiders.
The Last Common Ancestor of Most Bilaterian Animals Possessed at Least Nine OpsinsBirds and spiders never evolved from the same ancestor. You have no evidence of that.
This sub-forum relates to science. I have no objections to you basing your beliefs upon scripture and personal revelation. I have no objection to you ignoring, or rejecting science in your personal life. These are very much rights you should enjoy and which I would defend. You are fully entitled to express your beliefs and the basis for your beliefs in this sub-forum.For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, - Romans 1:18-22 Bible Gateway passage: Romans 1:18-22 - King James Version
since evolution comes from a common ancestor as you claim..and the ancestor is a dying star which gave rise to all of us then there was intelligence embedded in the dying star...which means the dying star is A GOD..Evolution from a common ancestor cannot be falsified either since we cannot see or know or test or show a common ancestor.
the Common ancestor is the creator....He used the same module to create them all...They're all birds though. Why wouldn't they share a common ancestor?
So then by those calculations this George Rogers Clark Memorial in Vincennes, IN must be around 22,860 years old instead of only about a half century.
This is because in the structures built beneath it we find this 228.6 cm structure.
I wanted to provide many more examples like this but unfortunately I don't have the time right now.
no. since i talked about the average. the quickest stalactites growth is about 30 cm per 100 years. so there are also stalactites that can reach up to 15 meter.
I'm advocating we don't need evolution from a common ancestor to further scientific inquiry.
We can say there is a common design in life and it works just as well. Because we can use that common design to make all the discoveries we want.
In this paper, we describe an algorithmic method designed specifically for phylogenetic footprinting in multiple species. Because it is tailored to this purpose, it avoids the drawbacks described above of both multiple alignment and general motif discovery algorithms. Given a set of unaligned orthologous sequences, our approach identifies all DNA motifs that appear to have evolved unusually slowly compared with the surrounding sequence. More precisely, given n orthologous input sequences and the phylogenetic tree T relating them, our algorithm is guaranteed to produce every set of k-mers, one from each input sequence, that have parsimony score at most d with respect to T, where k and d are parameters that can be specified by the user.
The inputs to the algorithm are n homologous sequences S1, S2, …, Sn; the phylogenetic tree T relating them; the length k of the motifs sought; and the maximum parsimony score d allowed. The algorithm proceeds from the leaves of T to its root. At each node u of T, it computes a table Wu containing 4k entries, one for each possible k-mer. For each such k-mer s, let Wu[s] be the best parsimony score that can be achieved for the subtree of T rooted at u, if the ancestral sequence at u was forced to be s.
no, since we know what is the average rate we can check the average stalactite and get a good estimation.And the point being there are many different factors and conditions which determine their growth rates thus rendering them a terrible means of judging the age of anything.
And just to rehash, a phylogenetic tree is a data set describing the evolutionary relationships of species or higher taxa: Phylogenetic tree - Wikipedia
a phylogenetic tree is just a tree of difference\similarity among creatures. we can do the same with vehicles , but it doesnt prove any common descent:
