That must have been rough.Ya ... I spent a few years there.
Wife and I even went through Supertyphoon Pamela.
That’s not how predictions work.And I'm Genghis Khan.
Ever heard of "trial-and-error"?
How many times has the theory of evolution made a prediction that HASN'T come true?That’s not how predictions work.
{snip}
That shows you think opinions are evidence. Think again.
No you didn't.
To the lurkers with meaningful opinions, am I just wasting my time?
Can you name a prediction of ToE that has not come true?How many times has the theory of evolution made a prediction that HASN'T come true?
And for the ones that did come true, how many times did they have to try before they got it right?
TOE: I prediction oil will be found here.
PWN: Nope. Thumper truck says NO.
TOE: Try over there.
PWN: Nope. Thumper truck says NO.
TOE: Try this spot.
PWN: Bingo! Oil has been found!
TOE: Wohoo! Let's hear it for evolution!
TOE: I predict this drug will be a prenatal wonder drug.
PWN: Let's hope so!
* later *
TOE: Ewww. What's happening?
PWN: Don't know.
TOE: Pregnant women should be more careful what they eat.
PWN: Maybe it's something in the water?
TOE: I doubt it. It's happening all over.
PWN: Oh. Oh.
TOE: What?
PWN: It's our wonder drug.
TOE: Then blame the big pharmaceuticals.
PWN: They hired us ... remember?
TOE: Oh, ya.
TOE: Look what we found!
PWN: Shouldn't we ...
TOE: Let's call it Haroldcookii and get it out to the public!
PWN: Um ... aren't we being a little hasty?
TOE: Who cares? If it turns out to be something else, big deal. Retraction on page 16.
When a heritable variation gives the offspring a reproductive advantage, it's likely to spread through the population over many generations (because those with a reproductive advantage contribute more offspring to the population). So the genetic makeup of the population will change over time. When isolated populations of a species have diverged sufficiently they may be called subspecies, and eventually new species.Right but the variants only change characteristic, eye color, hair color,etc, they do not change the species.
It's populations that evolve and may become new species over time. See above.That only shows you do not understand mutations or science. When a mutation causes a kid to become an albino, it remains the exact same species a its parents and you cant provide an example that is not rue.
No.Can you name a prediction of ToE that has not come true?
It shows ToE got it right every time.No.
What does that have to do with me asking how many times does it take before they get it right?
Got It Right Every Time ≠ Got It Right The First TimeIt shows ToE got it right every time.
So the predictions that ToE make get it right first time.
The first time is within the subset of every time.Got It Right Every Time ≠ Got It Right The First Time
LOLThe first time is within the subset of every time.
That was not a prediction made by ToE.LOL
Edison got the light bulb right the first time, did he?
I had a great Christmas!By the way, did you have a mighty xmas?
Fair to middling. My boy is nearly three and is being rascally (exploring by climbing and jumping off whatever he can climb up).I had a great Christmas!
You?
True; but it should be said.You can repeat that ad nauseam. It will never hit home and he'll continue to chose to misunderstand/misrepresent.
Not the Christmas tree, I hope!?Fair to middling. My boy is nearly three and is being rascally (exploring by climbing and jumping off whatever he can climb up).
