LOL, Hostage made the comment about the Apes, I commented about Hostage’s comment about the Apes, you chimed in with your comment about the vocabulary, which was about the Apes; and now you want to pretend your comment about my criticism of Hostage’s Apes vocabulary did not involve you misusing the vocabulary concerning the Apes which Hostage and I were discussing when you chimed in.... Yeah, right...we’re really going to believe that one. Then you have the gall to complain about “semantic obfuscation” and “just use a hodge-podge of made-up vocabulary....”
Now, I’ll restate the question for you. Do you or do you not mean to claim “Evolution” (meaning present day evolutionary theory) is wrong because it claims Humans are descended from Apes, as Hostage was commenting?
In post 25 you spent some time defining natural selection for me.
In post 27 you explained evolution of biological populations to me. You also went into a little detail on genetic change, adaptation, and (again) natural selection. You were also at pains to distinguish between biochemical adaptation capabilities and the accumulated changes in the genome.
Now post 28 was addressed to Hostage. In that post, you defined species, and you made a general statement against Hostage, you claimed: you obviously do not understand the definitions of the terminology you are using. And further you you say to Hostage you do not even know the meaning of Evolution and its related terminology. And you finish comment 28 (to Hostage) by saying You do not even understand what Natural Selection is and is not, because you have totally misused the terminology.
Now although your comment at 28 was addressed to Hostage, I did reply to your comment 28 and I said you spend an inordinate amount of time critiquing the vocabulary.
That's really the central thing I've been saying to you over a entire series of posts. Look above and try to make the claim that you haven't been critiquing a whole array of terminology.
Since then you have been hammering ME because the huge differences between the Apes you commented about and your comment about the vocabulary, which was about the Apes and you demand that I take a position one way or other on the claim Humans are descended from Apes.
For me, the word A-P-E is not terribly important. I think Evolution is bad science from start to finish.
All Im saying is that you havent been discussing science or evolution you just focus on terminology and claim that your understanding is at a higher level than others. Which is what Marxists do. For me, Evolution is really just politics, not science. It's like Marx's "scientific socialism" and it's like "global warming". Politics -- not science.
