I posted a list of potential falsifications for evolutionary theory in this thread earlier this year.
Pangolin- a shrimp with a backbone.
- A crow with wings and arms.
- A mammal with a chitinous exoskeleton
haha LOL The Fur-Bearing Trout- An iguana with mammary glands
- A fish with fur
Melanin can be found in plants- A bat with feathers
- A rose with melanocytes
If it had one, wouldn't it no longer be a starfish?- A starfish with a notochord
- Starfish with a brain.
- An axolotl with radial symmetry (sic)
saltrange- Pollen in Cambrian strata.
Do dinosaurs count? They're sort of like chickens- Fossil rabbit in Permian strata.
- Fossil T-Rex in Ordovician strata.
- Fossil chicken in Jurassic strata.
Lol - Rent Your Own HAL Exoskeleton For The Low, Low Price of $1000! - Exoskeleton - Gizmodo- Humans with chitinous exoskeletons.
Boa Constrictor- Clams with legs*
- Whales with gills.
- Viviparous snakes with placentas.
Not a cave fish but Animals and Colour Vision, Fish some can see in infrared.- Blind cave fish that can see in the infrared and evolved an organ on their head to paint their dark environment.
any good? No missing link ever found, page 1- Orthologous ERVS in orangutans and chimps but not in humans or gorillas.
- An orthologous ERV in humans and gorillas but not in chimps.
- No explanation for difference in Chromosome numbers between humans and chimps.
Do you know what an exoskeleton is?PangolinArmadillo
I think you know this, but just in case... The website is "The Museum of Hoaxes"haha LOL The Fur-Bearing Trout
Age of layer in a lot of question, even whether is is sedimentary or not. Many concluded that it was Tertiary, perhaps intrusive.
Nope, 'fraid not.
yes.Do you know what an exoskeleton is?
note "haha LOL".I think you know this, but just in case... The website is "The Museum of Hoaxes"
Pangolin
Armadillo
The Fur-Bearing Trout
Yep. Melanin is found in almost all life. Melanocytes are only found in warm blooded animals.Melanin can be found in plants
Black, Brown, Red-Brown pigments : Colour and Life (under 'melanins from plants')
but maybe that's not quite the same
Nope. One of the things that makes a starfish a starfish is a decentralized nervous systemIf it had one, wouldn't it no longer be a starfish?
They have a simple radial nervous system that consists of a modified nerve net — interconnected neurons with no central brain (although some do possess ganglia.) Nerves radiate from central rings around the mouth into each arm; the branches of these nerves coordinate the movements of the organism.
Yep. A friend of mine in Australia had a pet one named Mr. Nacho.(just had to post one, they are weeeeird, yet strangely cute)
Michael Cremo is a well known crank. I wouldn't take his word if he said the Sun was going to rise tomorrow.saltrange
Birds are taxonomically dinosaurs, so all you have to do is find me a chicken in Jurassic strata and we're in business.Do dinosaurs count? They're sort of like chickens
Boas are oviparous, not viviparous and they don't have placentas. Try again.Boa Constrictor
The cave fish example is key because it shows an overadaptation that evolutionary theory doesn't predict rather than a vestigial selection response to an unnecessary organ. And I love that bubble headed fish. I remember when that video was first released. They're so weird and cute at the same time.I found this, nothing to do with anything, just its a fish with a transparent head and its eyes are actually inside its transparent head!:
I didn't take the link because abovetopsecret is a conspiracy kook site, but I'm going to hazard a guess that they didn't have anything there about ERVs orthologous to humans and gorillas but not chimps.any good?
An armadillo does not. It's skeleton is on the inside. The outer "shell" does not support anything, it is for protection only. It is not an exoskeleton as it is not a skeleton.
Armadillos have internal skeletal systems, their armour is not a skeletal system.
The Armadillo's armour does count as an exoskeleton:As has been noted, they have armor (formed of skin and hair in the case of the Pangolin {ooops, just checked - keratin, which makes our nails and claws}), not exoskeletons and they're also not made of Chitin (which I misspelled in my list).
Nope. One of the things that makes a starfish a starfish is a decentralized nervous system
But aren't arthropods classified as arthropods by having an exoskeleton? So aren't all these questions just circular arguments?Not just mammals with exoskeletons. Any living thing that's not an arthropod with an exoskeleton would suffice.
snakes can be viviparous:Boas are oviparous, not viviparous and they don't have placentas. Try again.
will do so now...Have you checked out Exploring Origins yet?
But aren't arthropods classified as arthropods by having an exoskeleton?
But, honest question, would scientists actually let someone with creationist views, or at least skeptical-about-evolution views, say anything in a scientific peer-reviewed journal? Or even just intelligent design views?
I am reminded here of an exchange I had with an IDcreationist several years ago. We were discussing (well, I was discussing, he was hurlig accusations and such) homologies as evidence for evolution, and he asked why spiders were not considered close relatives to mammals because they have femurs just like mammals do. I stated that spiders do not have femurs.The Armadillo's armour does count as an exoskeleton:
"The exo-skeleton includes the majority of the skull, but also osteoderms (bony plates in the skin), gastralia (abdominal ribs), and the clavicles (collar bone). Osteoderms have an unusual taxonomic distribution among modern tetrapods, being present in crocodylians and turtles, some lizards, a few species of frogs, and armadillos."The Palaeontological Association (PalAss) - PalAss Newsletter - Hall Lab Newsletter 59
also: ankylosaurs ANKYLOSAUR FOSSILS and placodermi Devonian Times - More about Placoderms have exoskeletons - not chitinous ones though.
Then again, ToE is constantly undergoing revision with every new discovery on the fossil record. Yet this is not counted as falsifying the theory, but improving it.
Therefore, surely interpretation of the biblical creation is allowed to be improved?
Doesn't sound that ignorant Department of Human Genetics | University of ChicagoThe first sentence of that article:
"New data suggest that the accumulation of genetic changes is not solely determined by natural selection."
Indicates the ignorance of the author writing it.
I didn't mean change the biblical words, but change the physical theory of how it was done, the bible doesn't fill in every tiny technical detail.Well, sure, but, science by its very nature is tentative and open to 'improvement.' That is what it is all about.
The bible, on the other hand, is supposed to be the 100% true inerrant word of God.
Re-interpreting it, it seems to me, should be a no-no, for it certainly lays waste to the notion that the word is unchanging and true.
