I don't know, Aggie.
I don't know how evolution really works.
I just know that I've asked some pretty pointed questions and, judging from the answers (and non-answers), I conject that it is a cheap fps movie.
Well, like I said, judging from you guys' answers...You know even less than you think you do.
Well, like I said, judging from you guys' answers...
I can spout Chess all day.
Talk about the five ways the game can end in a draw, play the first game of the 1972 Fischer-Spassky match from memory, and tell the difference between a Zugswang and a Zwistchenzug (if I spelled those two words correctly).
But if I can't explain Chess to someone who is asking good questions about it, then maybe something is wrong somewhere.
Your questions have been answered. Repeatedly, and in detail. Inevitably, you choose to ignore those answers because they are not the answers you want. You apple challenge is a perfect example; you still state (often) that noone has answered it. It was. It just wasn't an answer you expected, and so you ignore it. The fragmented nature of the fossil record, and the continuum nature of animal populations have both been explained thoroughly in this thread. These are both direct responses to your "not enough frames" objection. Yet you have not acknowledged these answers, even to put up a counter argument. All you've done is repeat your original statement again.But if I can't explain Chess to someone who is asking good questions about it, then maybe something is wrong somewhere.

Is that so?If you want to hold your own pet beliefs, and let science take a hike, etc, that's fine. You can do that. But at least have the honesty to admit that it is your own doing, and don't blame other people for not being able to explain it to you. It is yourself who is unwilling to listen.
Are you kidding me with this?For this reason, I wouldnt recommend judging the validity of evolution based on the quality of responses you get at this forum. But if youre going to do this, I think at the very least you should only consider responses from people who are actually authorities in whatever topic is being discussed. So for example, the only topic for which this is true in my case is the origin of birds. If Im not able to provide a good explanation for a topic that Im not particularly familiar with, such as the relationship between reptiles and mammals, the only thing this proves is that youre asking the wrong person about it.
These two questions have been answered before. One of them in this thread. (scroll up and look at the geryscale/animal population analogy I posted earlier.)Is that so?
Then if evolution is so thorough, perhaps you can tell me what species birthed Homo sapiens?
Or why a bear up north goes by a different species, while another "animal" who also lives up north goes by the same binomial as one that lives on the equator?
These two questions might be thought up in the mind of a person who doesn't know much about evolution, but I'm sure you (or someone) can at least give me something other than a brush-off?
I'm asking it because I want to believe there is no answer.These two questions have been answered before. One of them in this thread. (scroll up and look at the geryscale/animal population analogy I posted earlier.)
Answer me this, before I answer those questions honestly. Are you asking these questions because you want an answer? Or because you want to show that (you believe) there is no answer?
Thank you for the honesty.I'm asking it because I want to believe there is no answer.
And here you admit that you have a closed mind. Your goal is to prove us wrong... and you wont be willing to change your mind even after the discussion. This is why I won't try to answer your questions, because if I did, you would not care. I appreciate the honesty however, and you have my respect for that much."Prove" me wrong --- so I can keep asking until I hit a missing link --- then, I promise you, I won't say it in writing, but I'll consider myself to have made my point, whether you guys agree or not.
Good.Thank you for the honesty.

I get questions about astronomy from geologists here, questions about geology from biologists here, and questions about biology from psychologists here.
And I'll spare you guys the details here, but when a well-known object was recently downgraded in status, 100% of all these "experts" here suddenly became consenting astronomers.
Anyone figure out the continuum/individual fossil conundrum? If so I missed it.So.... transitional fossils. Anyone want to talk about those?
So.... transitional fossils. Anyone want to talk about those?
You might be right. It would be more accurate to say "all organisms are transitional." By extension, all fossils also are, since they were organisms once, but I suppose that does degrade the usefulness of the term.
