still laughing as I wipe off the monitor
Well, keep swinging! You may run out of them sooner than you expect!
You left out the moon landings. How do you feel about them?
How about Atlantis and the supposed global flood ca. 4350 years ago?
Unlike you, Coyoteman, I don’t think the lunar landings were faked. And unlike you, I don’t believe there is a civilization of mermaids swimming around under the ocean, although I do think that the prior existence of a land-dwelling Atlantis, as per Greek legend, is an open question. As for the global flood...the history of the global flood is recounted in the Bible. But you completely reject the Bible and salvation, so I would imagine your problems run a lot deeper than the global flood—GGG
What "kind" is a porpoise?
Hints at what could be a determining factor behind the "punctuation" marks in punctuated exqulibrium?
Driven by environmental changes (be it catastrophe in the way of meteor impacts, volcanic eruptions, or other) strong enough to radically enough, alter chemical backgrounds...leading to significant changes in genetic expression? Of course, this still doesn't quite explain how all the original 'coding' came to be, in the first place...
I was pondering upon, and considering mentioning this sort of idea (not my own original idea, of course) in the recent thread concerning histone's role in regulation of gene expression, but didn't get around to it.
Dull day at the office?
lol
Stop bringing your family into this.
Hmmmmmmm.
It’s interesting to see how someone claims up to proving any time how HIV doesn’t cause AIDS, but has cried to the mods so that two of us banned from posting to him.
This is, of course, how debates work on FR. Some might recall the evolution debate started by Dave, which ended when Dave’s opponent was banned.
When the debate gets tough, the gutless hide behind mommy’s skirts.
Signing off for a few days, and heading down to Santa Barbara to warm up. The sun is shining here, but it sure is cold!
Be back monday evening. Keep’em hopping GGG.
Lamarck claimed that evolutionary change was driven by the life experience of the animal, such that the adaptations that animal underwent in response to environment would lead to an unalterable difference in the genetics of its descendants. He thought this the primary mechanism of change. His view has no more acceptance today than after Weissman effectively demolished his hypothesis. The fact that there are some changes in expression of genes that can be inherited does not make Lamarkianism the agent of genetic change. Genes change by mutation and natural selection, the methylation pattern may change based upon environmental stimulus, and this pattern is inherited; but it does not change the genome of the animal, and is only a temporary change in the inheritance of the population; hardly a validation of Lamarkianism as the primary force of evolutionary change.
It is like saying that because SOMETHING orbits the earth, it serves as validation for the hypothesis that everything in the universe orbits the earth.
Observation: if a pro-evolution or pro-science poster had made the insults we see in the above posts s/he would have been banned....Hmmmmmm
Apparently you forgot that he was responding to the following from you:
“So how do you feel about the moon landings, the Loch Ness Monster, UFOs, crop circles, the Holocaust and Bigfoot?...You left out the moon landings. How do you feel about them?...How about Atlantis...?”
So the answer to you question is YES. After a long litany of insults, you are still here. There is no conspiracy to ban Darwinists. You can now go to sleep each night without first having to look under your bed. Get some sleep! I can only imagine how big those bags under your eyes have become. LOL

Are we not men? We are Devo!
You can take the white trash out of the trailer park, but you cannot get the trailer park out of the white trash.
I believe the phrase ‘moronic beauty of youth’ comes to mind.
But you've already been told that the earth is the center of the universe. End of discussion.
It's interesting how kookie ideas tend to cluster in people. Geocentrism, the delusion that one has somehow out-thought Einstein, The delusion that one has out-thought all the biologists and all the physicians in the world.
You say;
I highlighted [in red] your words...for the "parallel" wording is strictly your own, not mine. Please do not put that into my mouth, so that you can then argue against it. My own wording was more like 'code within code' which is subtly different.
Did you follow the link, and read the information at the previously posted link;
As is mentioned [among many other things] recent research even shows overlapping genes, sharing some of the same coding, as opposed to each separate gene being a discreet entity unto itself.
There is much more complication than even that, hence the researchers at the Genome Project expressing it as;
A computer subroutine, can be fairly described as being something of an "code within code". You say, only "one universal code"?
Ok. Microsoft Windows is an codified operating system. There are many sub-routines [sub-coding] in the overall sytem. Code-within-the-code? A programmer might well say "yes"!
It's not me who labeled them thus, and applied those labels, to the attempt to more clearly express the increasingly more complicated picture of the genome and it's workings...but I can think I can see what they are saying.
Why can't you?
