Wherein I catch a professional YEC in a lie

[Bungle_Bear]

I'll do that.

Really?

And I'll make sure my brothers and sisters in Christ know how evolution is compartmentalized into one little compartment out of eight.

A compartment so small, it can't be seen, even within the reaches of our solar system, let alone the outer edges of the universe.But you won't see it displayed on the courthouse lawn, will you?

And there you are reverting to your old ways. You couldn't even get to the end of a single response without doing what you were specifically warned about.

It'll get put away ... out of public view ... so that acadopes can howl and growl that we're not a Christian nation.

As a non US citizen I couldn't care less about what "acadopes" complain about.

Every jot and tittle.

Show a semi-colon and they'll say, "Huh? What?"

But show the verse of Scripture it's found in, and they'll threaten to sue the government if it isn't immediately removed.

You and pitabread are going to great lengths to defend this doosey of a remark:

For the record, I have no vested interest in that particular comment. Just pointing out that you've clearly misinterpreted an infographic that you've inexplicably decided is the be all and end all of evolutionary theory.

If you don't actually care about understanding, so be it, but you've clearly set yourself up for a lot of confusing conversations in the future.

Surprisingly appropriate when talking about courthouse lawn ornamentation

This, coming from someone who earlier said this:

You couldn't care less, yet you feel they are appropriate complaints.

You obviously have no idea of the origin of the phrase "jot and tittle". Perhaps if you found out you'd understand my comment.

To the lurkers with meaningful opinions, am I just wasting my time?​

Unless you present some evidence, we are both wasting our time

 

[pitabread]

But you're not here for evidence, you've made that abundantly clear. So why *are* you here?

 

[omega2xx]

To show you and others that you don't have any evidence to support anything in the TOE.

 

[pitabread]

You're doing a terrible job of that, then. Especially since a quick trip to Google Scholar (among other resources) demonstrates otherwise.

This is why I don't understand when creationists resort to just basic claims about there not being any evidence for the ToE or claiming it's all speculation, and so on. Anyone familiar with the ToE and familiar with the evidence knows these claims are blatantly false. So do any creationists honestly expect to convince anyone of this? The only real message it sends is that creationists are ignorant of the biological sciences.

The truth is you can't post any scientific evidence to support natural selection. You accept it by faith alone. You also don't understand even basic genetics. It is genetically IMPOSSIBLE for the leg of a dog-like land animal to become a fin of a sea animal.

Have you addressed the ERV evidence I posted yet?

If not, kindly stop lying, thanks.

 

[pitabread]

Again, a quick trip to Google Scholar renders this claim demonstrably false. So who again are you trying to convince?

You also don't understand even basic genetics. It is genetically IMPOSSIBLE for the leg of a dog-like land animal to become a fin of a sea animal.

Okay, I'll bite. Why is it genetically "impossible" for a leg to eventually evolve into a fin/flipper of a sea animal?

Hoxd12 and Hoxd13 played a role in the evolution of the cetacean manus, but Creationists are interested in actual evidence.

Evidently you don't understand what constitutes verifiable evidence. Cut and paste what they offer on any subject you choose.

The offspring can only receive a characteristic that is in the gene pool of its parents. Land animals have genes for legs, not for fins or blowholes. Whale evolution is probably the biggest joke the evolutionist have presented so far. However it is a necessary one or evolution is exposed for the scientific fraud it is.

You accept it on faith alone, because you want to, not on any real scientific evidence.

Neither Hoxd12 or 13 can cause a leg to become a fin​

Why not?

 

[Jimmy D]

Land animals have genes for legs, not for fins or blowholes.

What's the difference between these genes?

Statistical power to detect disease variants can be increased by weighting candidates by their evidence of natural selection. To demonstrate that this theoretical idea works in practice, we performed an association study of 10 putative resistance variants in 471 severe malaria cases and 474 controls from the Luo in Kenya. We replicated associations at HBB (P=.0008) and CD36 (P=.03) but also showed that the same variants are unusually differentiated in frequency between the Luo and Yoruba (who historically have been exposed to malaria) and the Masai and Kikuyu (who have not been exposed). This empirically demonstrates that combining association analysis with evidence of natural selection can increase power to detect risk variants by orders of magnitude—up to P=.000018 for HBB and P=.00043 for CD36.

Fancy that, evidence of natural selection "increases the power to detect Malaria resistance variants".
