So lemme get this straight: string theory "computes" for you but evolution simply does not?
String theory is exceedingly complex and mostly (as I understand it) implications from mathematical constructs. Evolution, however, has evidence and a relatively simple model.
Could it be that since String Theory doesn't have any implications for threatening one's religious beliefs that it is easier to accept despite the fact that it is nearly incomprehensible to the common person, while evolution is more theologically threatening and much simpler to understand?
Consider my ongoing argument about the RLN. Science admits that there are things unknown about the nervous system, yet they are absolutely certain the left RLN has no purpose in it's route around the aortic arch.
the claim that a robot need a designer isnt science?
I have looked into several of your claims and found that you are 100% wrong on each of them - why would this one be different?
Let me guess - you saw that claim in a creationist essay?
Or maybe you googled 'blind spots' and came across something like this:
"Peripheral Vision Problems - Blind Spots, Hemianopia and Tunnel Vision"
and ran with it?
But didn't bother to read and discover that these kinds of blinds spots are caused by things like strokes or trauma?
Because, you see, THE blind spot does not affect peripheral vision - try Wiki -
Optic disc - Wikipedia
In reality, there is a little exercise we do in A&P lab to detect it. Anyone can do it, it is pretty cool, actually. Give it a try for the first time.
Has virtually nothing to do with peripheral vision, considering the location of the optic disc.
No, they are just off to one side of the area of most acute vision:

My gosh - you cannot even make up things that sound sort of correct.
Let me help you - in the future, when confabulating things to support your religious beliefs, do not do so in the following subject areas:
anatomy
physiology
cell biology
evolution
phylogenetics
genetics
these are the subjects that I have either graduate-level education/experience in or have used in graduate and post-graduate research and thus understand via application.
Or just keep doing what you are doing and help me have some fun.
Anyway -
Even better design - have the axons exit around the periphery of the retina instead of converging near the macula, and have the blood vessels converge in the choroid instead of running through the retina. That way, there would be no blind spot at all - much better design.
Thanks for the entertainment!
How about having the first books of the bible written by chimps?Yes there is. What exactly would you expect to see that isn't visible?
To repeat, no one on earth even knew they had a blind spot until the eye was dissected and it was determined that the position of the optic nerve on the retina of the eye would result in a "blind spot" in one's peripheral vision,
and would only be detectable in one's peripheral vision (in other words you can't 'see' it directly. The need for near perfect peripheral vision is necessary to detect it using the 'dot on white paper ' method.
Like this you just don't comprehend what I'm saying most of the time.
Really, all you had to do was think about what I said for a moment to realize that I did know what I'm talking about.
I think you suffer from your own version of the Lombard effect; whenever I say something your voice immediately goes to a fever pitch to shout it down (and that's hard on the vocal chords, doncha know).![]()
A cowpie has a beginning. Therefore it has a designer?bebcause they had a beginning.
Horrible! The COMET cable channel has been running '50s monster movies--a rampaging robot cowpie would fit right in.Yes, but it only works with frictionless, spherical cows.
To me what's funny is that life is like a laboratory there have been trillions of experiments done in this Laboratory and the results all point to a creator and yet atheists want to ask all the time where is the proof but where is the proof that life came without a creator?It is fact which has given Evolutions a black eye - out of billions of fossils inspected and documented there is not one single sequence/succession that shows Evolution by the fossil record.
Not one sequence showing morphological changes of one lifeform changing into another lifeform.
Again, not one evidence has been found.
What the fossil record does show is how God over time would have made Kinds of lifeforms. The fossil record proves this - since there is not one case of displaying by physical remains of postulated evolution of life forms.
Again, out of billions of fossils not one sequence showing hard physical fact of morphological change of one lifeform changing into another lifeform.
This is called no foundation for Evolution.
The fossil record instead has tantamount evidence in how God would have developed life over time. And their remains we would have physical evidence to display before all.
It is time for bias debaters and believers in Evolution to face up to the obvious. What the fossil record really shows.
Nope, this is factually incorrect. The blind spot was first discovered by Edme Mariotte in 1660, and he didn't dissect an eye to do it. Heck, he essentially did the "dot on white paper" thing, but with a coin instead. And near perfect peripheral vision is not necessary; your old eyes may no longer be suitable for it, but most people with decent vision can find it.To repeat, no one on earth even knew they had a blind spot until the eye was dissected and it was determined that the position of the optic nerve on the retina of the eye would result in a "blind spot" in one's peripheral vision, and would only be detectable in one's peripheral vision (in other words you can't 'see' it directly.

Ironic that these statements follow a historical inaccuracy provided by you.Like this you just don't comprehend what I'm saying most of the time. Really, all you had to do was think about what I said for a moment to realize that I did know what I'm talking about.

The fact that our brains have some clever workarounds to make up for the flaw in our vision doesn't make it not a stupid design. Unfortunately the forces of selection and mutation are incredibly stupid. An actual intelligence could have cut past the incremental changes and done something better.To repeat, no one on earth even knew they had a blind spot until the eye was dissected and it was determined that the position of the optic nerve on the retina of the eye would result in a "blind spot" in one's peripheral vision, and would only be detectable in one's peripheral vision (in other words you can't 'see' it directly.
