Darwin's 'Special Difficulty'

Oh, you mean the "special difficulty" that there's NO EVIDENCE of his theory that requires transfer between major animal groups? You mean THAT special difficulty? Yeah, I'd say that was a problem.

That and the unlimited amount of evidence of intelligent design. Woops, another "special problem" for Darwin.

Darwin and Huxley handled these “special difficulties” by assassinating the characters of the critics. Evolutionists today follow the same formula for success.

Ahhhh the “special difficulty” solved by deus ex machina

The evolution of the electric organ is easily proven. Here is a photo from it's early stages of development:

This morning Drudge has an article on peer review, it's the gateway to grants and funding.

Meanwhile scientists are still finding animals and species and new species they and redeveloping theories. They don’t know what they’re doing.

Convergent evolution. The “electric organ” has also evolved in mammals, see the platypus.

Take the anti-science junk somewhere else. This isn’t a fiction site. Damn...

[Alberta's Child]

"Evolution" is a lot like "climate change" in that they don't lend well to scientific scrutiny at all. The size/scope of the "laboratory" in which they would have to be tested and the long time lines of these theories makes it impossible to test them under the controlled environments that would be necessary for valid predictive scientific study.

Good find, THANKS!

Another reason for commonality between species: common Creator.

To me the biggest crime committed by the Climate Fraud crowd is that their fraudulent activity muddies the waters on a subject that is actually crystal clear.

Unlike “climate science” — which is a concoction of computer models based on fraudulent “data” — evolution has “evolved” (so to speak) over years and decades and has a very respectable history as a field of science.

It doesn’t mean you have to agree with it, but it’s a shame that the fraud of climate science is used to tar the science of biological evolution as equally fraudulent. It most definitely is not. It’s not fraudulent at all. Not even a little bit. (Even if you disagree with it or feel that inadequate attention is paid to the possibility of divine action at the beginning of life.)

To date, no one has comprehensively identified the relationships among the molecular components undergirding electric organ function. Until these relationships are elucidated, the plausibility of the evolutionary origin of these structures remains purely speculative and claims of evolutionary "fact" must be rejected because they are without scientific support.

Steve Jone's 1999-2000 book "Darwin's Ghost" is a comprehensive update of Darwin's original work ... covering every chapter of Darwin's orginal. Jones. In his book, Jones mentions electric fishes ... To wit ...

"Pheasants, electric fishes and tree frogs each have ties between their members in Australia, South America, and New Guinea, with more distant links ever as far as Europe, but none are much good at ocean crossings. Three thousand miles of sea are a barrier for an eagle, let alone a heavy breech seed or a flightless bird."

And, somewhere I've read (couldn't find it right away) that the "electric" fish feature is somewhat connected to ... muscles.

Same design evolving from different sources is old news. It's call convergent evolution.
