RIVERSIDE, Calif. – A research team, including UC Riverside biologists, has found experimental evidence that supports a controversial theory of genetic conflict in the reproduction of those animals that support their developing offspring through a placenta.
The conflict has been likened to a “battle of the sexes” or an “arms race” at the molecular level between mothers and fathers. At stake: the fetus’s growth rate and how much that costs the nutrient-supplying mother.
The new research supports the idea of a genetic “arms race” going on between a live-bearing mother and her offspring, assisted by the growth-promoting genes of the father...

I did. And based on my experience and the polls, the vast majority of global warming hysteria is emanating from Darwinist circles.
==He made a claim regarding science, and when asked to back it up he resorted to “read the bible.”
You’re reaching (as usual), Coyoteman. I told him if he wants to know why there is disease and death in the world to read the Bible. As for evidence of non-random, directed mutation...there’s plenty.
==This is not science, it is BS. It is a form of religion.
Agreed. That’s why I expose the Church of Darwin for what it is...religion.
Yes,
Several reasons.
First, universities MANDATE ONLY evolution and remove any professors that try to say different (Iowa State University is one classic example).
Second, evolution has become a religion to many who teach it and will not be allowed to be challenged except by their straw man analysis.
Third, posts here by the pro evolution side use pure derision which is not unlike many who have taken their places as part of the educated elite in this country. It can not be challenged seriously no matter what.
Oh, please explain how every drug, cell line, animal model, etc. describe their “mechanism in the context of evolution.”?
Your post is strictly your opinion of how you believe things really are rather than how they actually are in this world.
Oh, one more thing...the classic prove a negative argument...why no representation in the biotech/pharm industry? So, explain why? a negative? I suggest you begin following the rules of common accepted logic that even liberals typically observe (not radical liberals).
Blind faith?
Those who believe in creationism are the most open minded and tolerant individuals I know. It is people like you who just spout out the trust science know all line.
Much of science theory is constantly in flux and only proven science is used in any meaningful industry.
Your smarmy comment on “creationist propaganda mills” is typical of a blind believer in this corrupt theory.
So why in hell did you come to the US anyhow? I mean other than to make foolish comments here? You could have done that in Jolly Old England where it is quite screwed up.
Our beef is that you have made evolution into a religion to be defended rather than openly debated. Your ilk hide in the shadows waiting for any “darwinian” thing to come out in order to pounce on it... as for your own experience as to
“I’ve never seen a “creationist” successfully refute a single thing, to say nothing of genetics/evolution, their apparent main target.
Your own observations do not serve the discussion well as no one probably gives a rats behind what your obs are...lol
“we are only talking about men and women making a sincere effort to understand nature.”
Uh, some I believe are making sincere efforts...however, quite a few want to limit debate and squash any evidence contradictory to their religion.
“It appears to me that creationists fail so consistently because generally they have no idea of how to reason.”
I am sure it does...but that doesn’t help you here. Perhaps a KOS convention where like minds go to re-affirm their own dogma would placate your irritation.
What’s that saying about none so blind as who won’t see? Open your eyes.
Or the oil industry?
Where are the Flood Geologists advising oil companies on where to drill based of their theory of how sediments were formed?
edssheppa,
Are you confessing your sin to us here eddy?
You have added no weight or value to this discussion.
Typical, smarmy & stupid.
What would you predict would be larger a Tigon (Tiger father Lion mother)or a Lyger (Lion father and Tiger mother)?
“A Lyger is pretty much my favorite animal.”
Napoleon Dynamite.
The predictive power of evolutionary theory gives the right answer. How about creationism or ID? Any guesses?
I opened my eyes the moment I realized the Church of Darwin is a religion whose faith claims regarding origins are refuted by science.
YOU made the same ole baseless claim you always make. PROVE it. That's how the science world works, ya know. I'd LOVE to see this "best evidence" you claim is there that explains how MDRTB came about due to being pre-programmed to do so.
Tell me how BELIEVING in evolution(yes, evolution takes faith, since it is NOT proven) helps a:
“Geologists advising oil companies on where to drill based of their theory of how sediments were formed?”
Your question is so bad that it represents a very poor straw man...especially, since it would signify an observation that is irrelevant to both creation & evolution. Its just being foolish.
Again, creationists are the ones without logic? This thread is evidence to the contrary...
Are evolution and genetics indistinguishable to you?
The predictive power of evolutionary theory states that the average size of the testes related to body size will be a function of the promiscuity of the females. Gorillas and Gibbons have very small testes because a little dab will do ya when you are absolutely assured of paternity. Chimpanzees have enormous testes because female chimps are promiscuous. Male Homo sapiens have somewhat intermediate sized testes, because we can USUALLY count on paternity.
Please.
Using evolutionist terminology does not mean evolution was a necessity in developing the drug.
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.”Joseph Goebbels
“A lie told often enough becomes truth”Vladimir Lenin
So what is your prediction? And what theory is it based upon?
No no no....if you wanna understand how things undergo “directed mutation” due to “pre-programming” by a “Designer”, you must look for the “design”, or “signs” of the “design” in everything you don’t understand, without ever once attempting to understanding the science.
If you want to understand why things die and why there’s disease, THAT you find in the Bible.
I got lyme a few times in the past decade...must’ve been the Designer (who shall remain nameless) punishing me for walking in His woods.
