No, I think the Bible is. God's vicar(s), so to speak, were the prophets and apostles, authenticated by God, who penned Scriptures. They are the only interpreters. They are the only vicar(s) I recognize.
Thanks for answering, but to glean the answer I'm looking for, I'll rephrase and you can tell me if my phrasing is correct.
In essence, you select a single bacterial organism for study. As such, you know each gene in the study starts with only one allele. As that single organism reproduces, if the allele frequency changes, you conclude it was not selected.
If a different allele shows up, we know it's via mutation, since it didn't exist in the bacterium to begin with. At first the frequency of every allele is 1.0. But as soon as that bacterium reproduces, mutations ensue, and then we see other alleles show up. (I am supposing you know that an allele is a particular version of a gene)
If a new allele is better fitted to the environment than the original one, we would see the new allele increasing in frequency and the old one decreasing.
well I will admit i was wrong suggesting you would turn tail and run. I had not considered you would blathering misdirection and false witness.And Bingo. Dropped some links and ran. These guys are so predictable. They're followers. He has nothing to say. They just take you to their leaders and silently slip away.
Well there is Mr. Strean lecturing to a huge audience (laugh) saying exactly what I attributed to him.Actually all these claims are false, or misrepresented.
well there are the links you wanted....implied you wanted, you obviously didn't want any links at all.You made them up which is why you didn't post any links to prove it.
Which i did.I'll wait and see if you'll even attempt to back any of this stuff up.
the latest research on bacterial evolution@sfs , @The Barbarian - If you could, I'd be curious to hear your reply to this position. What data does biology use to claim bacteria are evolving (producing new DNA) as opposed to adapting (selecting from existing DNA)?
It's a bit more complicated than that. If the new allele is just as fit as the old one, it may increase in frequency by chance anyway (genetic drift). If the new allele is more fit, it is more likely to increase in frequency than if it were just as fit, but it may still disappear by chance (unless it is a great deal more fit).If a new allele is better fitted to the environment than the original one, we would see the new allele increasing in frequency and the old one decreasing.
Do we get to hear of billions and billions of years again? Billions and billions, zillions, quadrillions, trillions and billions of years.I would rather perform a root canal on myself.

Billions and billions and godzillians of years.Only billions. The universe is only about 14 billions years old. Not trillions, quadrillions. Certainly not zillions since, well, zillion isn't a number.

I don't know about that. I do know that there are billions and billions of years.Banana turnip cucumber?

Wow, they did it! Just passed the 150K mark.
Interesting. If we're concerned about people shooting kids in school, we need to fund this guy's anti-science movie, he says.
That tells me all I need to know about that one.
It's so funny. This modern generation thinks it's arrived intellectually.
The truth is we've devolved.
We're much dumber than our ancestors.
We've fallen for the mythological gods of our age, Mother Nature and Father Time. We seek to explain everything through them.
