Latest studies have shown that a parent with say blues eyes can have a sibling with brown eyes and they dont have the gene for the blue eyes. Yet a cousin or distant cousin picks up that parents blue eyes and gene for those blue eyes.

Once again i will post links that are from non religious sites and are science sites some are universities, some from nature.com. They say that nested hierarchy is in question and show how it is.

There are no such studies, assuming I can parse your tangled sentences. There are studies that show that some traits can be transmitted to offspring without being transmitted by DNA, which adds an interesting wrinkle to evolution but in no way contradicts it.

What you're claiming is simply not the state of science today. Common descent is an explanatory principle that is woven throughout research in genetics. It is used every day and is in no way in question. Maybe geneticists are collectively wrong, but collectively they do indeed accept evolution.

" I think you need to catch up with the times. You see in the last 20 years since genetics have come about it is starting to examine the claims made by evolutionists based on the fossil record and the incredible stories they made up about wolf like animals becoming whales and all that. This is now in dispute. If you cant see that then you have your head in the sand. I have already posted the links and they are scientific links from nature.com to universities and renowned evolutionists.

Common descent and the way evolutionists say that certain animals belong together by the fossil records because they assessed that they had links through using their anatomy are starting to be proved wrong. how many times do i have to say it. I have referenced 10 plus links maybe more from science organizations. Now your saying they are all wrong and telling lies. Yet you dont provide one, zero zilch, nothing in reply. All you give is denial out of your own mouth and no backup. In fact you ridicule me with things like criticizing my writing style which shows where you are coming from. Thats right play the man and not the ball."


"Here ill even put what richard Dawkins said who is one the the greatest proponents of evolution."

Dawkins was clearly unhappy with the claims of Nelson and Platnick and the transformed cladists:
It isn’t that any transformed cladists are themselves fundamentalist creationists. My own interpretation is that they enjoy an exaggerated idea of the importance of taxonomy in biology. They have decided, perhaps rightly, that they can do taxonomy better if they forget about evolution
Richard Dawkins
Transformed Cladism
Taxonomic nested hierarchies don’t support Darwinism — transformed cladism rocks | Uncommon Descent

"So Dawkins is saying or he tends to agree that it would be better for the taxonomy if they forget about evolution because the genetic evidence is starting to not support it."
Now even more backup.

This is from liberty university are they wrong.

Evolution news is a science site and they have a prominent scientist from oxford university even stating that there is a gaping hole in the evolution theory.
With a Startling Candor, Oxford Scientist Admits a Gaping Hole in Evolutionary Theory - Evolution News & Views

"Do i need to say more. If you cant admit that there are problems with the theory then all i can say is you refuse to even look at what they are saying and i give up. Look ill even come half way and say maybe evolution may be found true when they find more answers and re evaluate their theory. But to say that evolution and common decent is not in question is crazy with the amount of evidence. To say there are no such studies is also absolutely crazy as i have just linked 10 plus studies showing this in the last few posts. Are all these just false links with false studies and scientists making false statements. The genetic evidence is there in every study."

"To be honest at the end of the day it doesn't worry me, you see thats where im lucky because i have a faith in god which doesn't depend on being proved by science. That faith is personal and it allows me to know of gods greatness and that he is bigger than the universe."

Thanks, the thing is this forum should be place where people can come and banter but it sometimes or maybe more often than not seems divisive. I enjoy speaking to people about the subject and i am learning all the time. I have nothing against any person here but sometimes its gets personal and some want to pull down the person and not the argument. Everyone has the right to have their oponion and have their say without prejudice or discrimination no matter what their beliefs, religion, non religion, race, creed or association. If i met some of these people on the streets i would probably get on with them and the subject wouldn't come up. I hope that others will feel the same and see that though it is interesting to debate, sometimes passionately there are other things in life that are more important.

Evidence?

If you cant see that then you have your head in the sand. I have already posted the links and they are scientific links from nature.com to universities and renowned evolutionists.

How did those articles call whale evolution into question?


Where are the obvious and numerous violations of the nested hierarchy? Where are the fossils with a mixture of avian and mammal features? All you have done is point to areas where it is difficult to be sure that we have the phylogeny right. That, in no way, refutes the DNA evidence nor calls the nested hierarchy into question.



How does any of this show that complex life does not fall into a nested hierarchy? How does this refute the DNA evidence?

I just completed a long, point-by-point rebuttal of steve's links, and it appears to have vanished into the ether. I'm not going to repeat it. None of the links, of course, actually cast any doubt on common descent. (Well, the two creationist links try to, but we're talking about doubt within science, not attacks from the outside.)

Oh, wait, I found the reply . . .

I don't mean to sound rude, but you have no idea what you're talking about. I'm one of those university scientists, and the picture you're trying to paint of what's going on in genetics has no connection to reality. I've worked on or witnessed at close hand pretty much every major project in human genetics in the last 15 years. I've looked at thousands of genetics papers, attended hundreds of talks, collaborated with hundreds of geneticists and talked to many more, and in that time I have never, even once, encountered one who had any doubt about or dispute with the core of evolution. It just does not happen.

Sure, there are disagreements about details of evolutionary history and evolutionary theory, and they're a big deal to the participants, but the idea that these would somehow undercut common descent is ludicrous.


Perhaps they could do taxonomy better if they ignored evolution entirely. What of it? The advocates of transformed cladism certainly didn't think that they were undercutting common descent; they just thought that for pragmatic reasons it was easier to classify organisms based purely quantitatively, rather than also using inferred descent. In any case, the field of taxonomy as a whole didn't think that was the case, and transformed cladism disappeared pretty quickly, pretty much after the 1980s, as far as I can tell. What does this have to do with recent developments in genetics, since it isn't recent, or loss of faith in common descent, since it doesn't affect common descent?


Yes, they're wrong. Unpublished papers by creationists who are not geneticists are really not doing much to advance your claim about genetics.

Professor Denis Noble is President of the International Union of Physiological Sciences. Is he wrong and lies.
Modern Synthesis Of Neo-Darwinism Is False - Denis Nobel - Video
No, he's not wrong, although he's intentionally overstating things a little for polemical purposes. He's describing inadequacies with evolutionary theory as it existed in the mid-20th century; he advocates a more complex and nuanced set of evolutionary models (which have, in fact, by and large been accepted by biologists). By what kind of insane logic does this suggest that common descent is wrong?

Nature.com one of the best science sites are they wrong.
Phylogeny: Rewriting evolution : Nature News & Comment
No, they're not wrong. Improved data and methods are continually changing details of our accounts of evolutionary history, and many of those details will continue to change, since the evidence is often slim. That's why scientists still have jobs: there's still lots of stuff that isn't well understood. What does this have to do with questioning common descent?

Evolution news is an intelligent design site. Since it is, it is best to assume that anything they say is a distortion in some way. Yeah, there are holes in evolutionary theory; it's a simple for model for a very complex phenomenon. Again, so what? The review they're appealing to has this to say about evolution itself (rather than the theory describing it): "The evidence for evolution itself is robust as it comes from the three independent lines that each tells the same story: history (fossil record and isotope dating), morphology (taxonomic relationship and comparative embryology in living organisms - evolutionary change starts off as developmental change) and molecular sequence relationships." If you think this is a reliable source, are you willing to agree with that statement?

The links you've provided show precisely zero doubt about common descent among working geneticists. Would you like to try again?

I have faith in God too. That doesn't mean I have to accept falsehoods just because they're told in his name.​

Cherry picked quote, blend of fake science journals and real journal articles that have nothing to do with your claims, and a desperate attempt to claim that a guy stressing a systems approach to biology and inheritance in someway must be on your side.

Seriously, read/watch this stuff before you post it. If you don't understand what is being said or how it directly relates to your central premise, don't post it. You look ridiculous when you toss up this kind of salad of nonsense.

"I think i understand the basic idea of what they are saying. That is that evolution theory through natural selection of species evolved to adapt to their environment. Alterations in the genome are taken on though groups that separate themselves from the mass over time and those alterations become a part of the species if they are found to be beneficial for the propose of adapting to the environment and survival.

Evolutionists through the fossil record have predicted this because of the perceived physical changes they see in the species which can be linked from one organism to another in the same group. Those groups are linked to form the tree of life. Until genetics came along this was the consensus and all sorts of predictions were made. In fact they became the bedrock of the theory and were taught in schools and were regarded as fact."

"The core belief is that we have a common ancestor and we are all linked through a tree of life with many branches which connect groups of species and they are also linked by other groups and sub groups of organisms. This can all be traced back to a simple life form that started it all. but the taxonomy doesn't support this and doesn't support nested hierarchy."



Indeed, we can see the nested hierarchy more clearly if we disregard evolution. Why? To illustrate, if we invoke Darwinian evolution we would have to say the nesting goes like this:

FISH are the common ancestors of humans, birds, and frogs. Ergo birds nest within fish, and so do humans, and so do frogs. That is what Theobald’s Markov chain would “predict” in terms of nesting. But the actual anatomical/taxonomic nesting tells a different story: fish are fish, humans are not fish, birds are not fish, frogs are not fish. Are you going to believe Theobald’s Markov chains that you are a fish or are you going to believe you’re a human and not a fish?


To try to nest humans with fish because we supposedly descended from them is at variance with the nested hierarchy we would build by simply looking and comparing traits instead of fabricating Darwinian stories.

For example, in the world of man-made machines, there aren’t fully functioning vehicles with 2.3 wheels — there are 2-wheeled, 3-wheeled, 4-wheeled vehicles, etc… The notion of even a conceptual transitional (from 2-wheeled to 3-wheeled) via small steps makes little sense. There is no transition, but rather a leap, per saltum.

One can, just by looking at traits, assemble creatures into nice nested hierarchies. They look at first like they descended conceptually from a common ancestor, but the problem is they all look like siblings with no real ancestor. In fact, many times a common ancestor doesn’t seem possible in principle.


For example, what is the common ancestor of vertebrates and invertebrates? Err, crash…hard to conceive of even in principle. It’s like looking for a square circle. Those gene sequence worshippers argue the genes show there was a common ancestor of vertebrates and invertebrates, but they seem to have problem describing anatomically what it would look like. Google “common ancestor of vertebrates and invertebrates” and try to find even a hypothetical description of what the common ancestor could look like even in principle. Maybe the lack of transitionals suggest there weren’t any.



In sum, the nested hierarchies in taxonomy don’t need Darwinism, in fact, Darwinism distorts the ability actually see the nested hierarchies, and finally nested hierarchies based on taxonomy are evidence against Darwinism.
http://www.uncommondescent.com/darwinism/taxonomic-nested-hierarchies-dont-support-darwinism/

"Now genetics are showing that the many predictions they made and the related species that they said came from or turn into to develop and evolve that creature are being shown to be wrong. It is showing that species from other unrelated groups are connected and it is also showing that what they said about the lines of that process are being broken through taking out some of these links and placing them in other places.

A parent with blues eyes and the genes that produce the blue eyes can have a sibling with brown eyes. Yet the line can produce a cousin or even distant cousin with that parents blue eyes and the genes for those blue eyes. So the evolutionary prediction/theory that species should be most similar in those that make up the lines of the tree are being violated time and time again.

The links i have included all more or less say this even though some may focus on a particular aspect of this or concentrate on a particular species and its genetic make up. There are many more sites that are saying the same thing such as focusing on particular species like the bat or platypus and showing how these connections are violated. I can include more sites if you wish but i think you get the basic idea of what i am talking about.

I am not a geneticists or a biologist so i have to educate myself to understand and i dont claim to know it all. My interpretation may be a little off but i believe i understand what they are basically talking about. You are more concerned about pointing out minor inconsistencies in what i am saying rather than trying to accept the basic idea of what i am saying.

It is not a case of what side you are on or whether God created everything or not. I am merely pointing out that the theory that has been promoted as being fact is in question. It may be that they adjust that theory according to the new evidence but to say that it is not questionable and that there is no evidence that is showing that many aspects of it are wrong is crazy."

The problem is that gorillas which are suppose to be our 2nd closest ancestor or are not. The Macaque, Orangutan, Gibbon and Marmoset are closer to us than the gorilla.

Wrong. The macaque, orangutan, and gibbon are closer to us AT THAT GENE. In the overall genome, we are closer to the gorilla.

This puts a big dent in the family tree of man as the gorilla was seen as looking more like man and the others are less like man.

It puts no dent whatsoever. Even the author of your article admits that there can be a few exceptions. This is due to lineage sorting, like Loudmouth has talked about. The gorilla happened to sustain more mutations AT THAT GENE than the other apes did. So what? It changes nothing in the phylogenetic tree. When comparing entire genomes, we are much closer to gorillas than those others.

It also shows how evolutionists get it wrong by trying to fit fossils into a hierarchy by claiming that the anatomy fits the picture. If they have got this wrong then how many others in the tree have they got wrong.

They didn't get it wrong.

In fact evidence is now coming out there are more violations to the human family tree.

Such as?

Nested hierarchy should show that our closest relatives are those which evolutionists have said in the taxonomic are linked by the fossils and anatomy they claim. They should also be closet to us in the genetics.

and they are...

Now genetics are starting to pull that nested hierarchy apart and branches are falling off the tree they have made. Unexpected results are linking unusual species that they say should not go together.

Um...no.


evolution through natural selection is not impossible...in fact, it is a mathematical certainty of natural selection.


Take a genetics class or two. You clearly do not understand what you are arguing against. You can do it for free at coursera.org.

This is soooooo stupid. Terrestrial Tetrapods (which includes birds, frogs and humans) nest within the Sarcopterygii (lobe finned fish) clade. Terrestrial Tetrapods share characteristics with Sarcopterygiians - bilateral symmetry, a head, a vertebral column and what separates us from other bony fish as well as sharks, rays, etc. are our appendaged. In other fish, fins are mostly bone and skin, but in Sarcopterygii, the fins (and arms, legs, wings) have quite a few musles as well allowing them to funtion as limbs rather than as aelerons or rudders.

{quoting someone else}To try to nest humans with fish because we supposedly descended from them is at variance with the nested hierarchy we would build by simply looking and comparing traits instead of fabricating Darwinian stories.

Ok. Let's do that.
All fish have bilaterian symmetry - so do humans.
All fish have a skull - so do humans.
All fish have a vetebral column - so do humans.
All fish have jaws - so do humans.
All fish have lobe fins - well no, only Sarcopterygiians do, and so do humans.

I'm not seeing the problem here.


Machines don't reproduce nor do the have genetic material to pass on if they somehow could. This analogy fails.

{quoting someone else}For example, what is the common ancestor of vertebrates and invertebrates? Err, crash…hard to conceive of even in principle.

The common ancestor of vertebrates and a population of invertebrates that gave rise to them would be Craniata or animals with skulls.
Craniata
It probably resembled a lamprey or a hagfish.
You could then go back one more clade to the Cordates of which the basal form (headless and, obviously, lacking a backbone) would have looked like an amphioxus.
Chordata


Did the person who wrote this even try?

Researcher Traces Gene Development In "Last Common Link"; Two Genes Diverge From One
Jeremy Gibson-Brown, Ph.D., assistant professor of biology at Washington University in St. Louis, studies amphioxus, a small marine worm, a primitive invertebrate species that is the closest living invertebrate related to vertebrates like ourselves. Gibson-Brown has found that a gene involved in the development of a body layer in invertebrates duplicated within the vertebrate lineage after the development of amphioxus.​

So's Law and no, he's not saying that.

Transformed Cladism? - hitchens_jnr - RichardDawkins.net
I have left till last the oddest aspect of the transformed cladism school of taxonomy ... some transformed cladists have ... concluded that there must be something wrong with evolution itself! ... some of the leading 'transformed cladists' profess an actual hostility to the idea of evolution itself, especially the Darwinian theory of evolution. Two of them, G. Nelson and N. Platnick ....have gone so far as to write that 'Darwinism . . . is, in short, a theory that has been put to the test and found false'. ... It isn't that any transformed cladists are themselves fundamentalist creationists. My own interpretation is that they enjoy an exaggerated idea of the importance of taxonomy in biology. They have decided, perhaps rightly, that they can do taxonomy better if they forget about evolution, and especially if they never use the concept of the ancestor in thinking about taxonomy. ... But you can't reasonably say that, because you don't need to use a particular theory in the day to day practice of your particular branch of science, therefore that theory is false. ... 'False', note well, is precisely the word Nelson and Platnick used.​
blue is the quote mine

What he's saying is that while it might be possible to do taxonomy without using evolutionary theory - especially relatedness via ancestry - one cannot conclude that because one could do so that the theory of evolution is false.

I looked at Disco's .pdf of the paper and it was pretty light on genetics and seemed to delve more into Nelson's "ontogenetic depth" concept with regard to an Urbilaterian population evolving into Deuterostomes and Protostomes.

It's a high quality paper. You can tell because, near the end, they mention C. elegans and D. melanogaster and observe that neither has developed new characteristics in 50 years, therefore the Cambrian explosion was impossible.

I understand that Richard Dawkins would never admit that evolution is false and I'm not necessarily saying that either. I have said in past posts. What i have said is lets give the benefit of the doubt and say it is true. But this latest thought and genetic evidence is showing that the theory as it stands right now the one that they teach schools and are promoting all over this forum is in question. What i cant understand is that most people i talk to cant even admit that. They just say no its not it is as true as ever and never been in doubt.

There is a difference between admitting and accepting that yes the way we have thought about certain species that evolve into other forms through the fossil record is in question. The way we built the tree of life and the way we understand nested hierarchy is in question. Its like how ever they believe the theory is now is right and will never change. Its like they dont want to admit they have got certain aspects wrong and need to revise it.

You see they got away with the building these nice neat sorted groups through connecting species together by the fossils and their anatomy. Showing how this bone matches that one and this species goes with that one and became this. They teach it in schools and they believe it to be fact and most on here will not doubt that. But you cant get away with it with genetics and its bringing up some unpredicted results. The genetic is black and white and you cant fudge it like the fossil record. The genetics is starting to support what some have said and evolutionist deny that the way the theory says that life forms transformed into new and different life forms is in question. Many experts in the field are saying it, there are evolutionists in the field saying it or questioning it but the fact is the genetics are now bringing into question the theory of evolution as it stands now.

I have posted link after link of biologists, professors, universities and other experts in the field also saying the same thing. All i get back is no they are wrong the theory is not in question it is in no doubt. That to me is just as plain as putting your fingers in your ears and saying i dont want to hear about it. At least Dawkins acknowledged that there are questions most on hear wouldn't have a bar of it.
