So future evolution is impossible?
Can you show me where "this article" always talks about "injecting religion into science"? I didn't see that as a constant theme in the article at all.
You mean for creationists argument is not evidence because it’s all we EVER see from the left.
Ignoring this and projecting isn’t evidence.
I rest my case.
You should get that stranglehold the cult of evolution has on you looked into!
See post 676...THAT always occurs.
Awe.
And all the exchanges that led up to it.
Experience should be a caution against writing off any part of the human body as useless or junk. The thymus gland being just one such example. But still evolutionists dismiss ear muscles and and our appendix and “pseudo” genes
as useless or vestigial.
The thread on pheromones is pretty much worthless with childish off color comments but one part of the posted article was worth repeating:
“Problem is, the effects of pheromones are thought to be subconscious — meaning that if we do communicate using them, we sure don't know it.
It's also hard to know what these pheromones might be and how we sense them, so researchers understand little about them.”
Indeed.
Nice quote mining. Let's let the gentleman continue, shall we?
And of course there is always the possibility that this may in fact be just the right thing to do. This may be precisely one of those cases when one has to disregard exceptions to start with and leave them for later consideration. His emotion, born of an intuition which penetrates deeper than the day-to-day evidence, may be quite right, and his correct procedure may be to persevere in following its guidance, even against the apparent evidence.He's saying that scientists are people too, not just data-gathering machines, and have emotional reactions to the results of their activities. It's up to the scientist to decide how to incorporate those responses into his work. So what makes their results worth paying attention to? "If his statements are confirmed by others, in whatever form and in whatever manner, even though quite unthought of at the time when he first propounded them, he will claim to have been right." [emphasis added]
True. I tend to think that Eukaryotes are the same.
[[Then I don’t understand your objections to scientists trying to find an explanation of the fossil record as the result of natural processes.]]
Not sure why you’re stuck on this issue? I never said that I object
[[So do other theories that don’t agree with ID, or the particular theories you’ve presented.]]
I’m not really aware of any other plausible theories? It would seem that a naturalistic theory is really the only alternative?
[[I admit that I sometimes come up short on Christian forbearance (I’ll turn the other check, but often I don’t keep it turned long enough). ]]
Not me, I’m a saint- The picture of patience.
That's a very, very interesting thought. Why do you doubt much will be found? We surely haven't reached the end of the line of understanding genes and functions.
I can pose a question worthy of investigation with one side of my brain tied behind my back. To wit:
Does our olfactory system affect our immune system and our feelings to those closely related to us generically? Or
Might these so-called inactive genes be reactivated?
If, If the research is done there is still a lot to learn.
[[Speaking of Polanyi, here is a quote from him...
“The Bible says: ‘Correct a wise man and he will love you.’ The scientist ought to be delighted when his theory, supported by a series of previous observations, appears to collapse in the light of his latest experiments. If he was wrong, then he has just escaped establishing a falsehood and been given a timely warning to turn in a new direction. But that is not how he feels. He is dejected and confused, and can only think of possible ways of explaining away the obstructive observation.”]]
Roh Roh! Now you’re in for it- You’re goign to get accused of ... gasp ... “Quote Mining” Lol-
In Science, as in any other endeavor, one should strive for a lot of......
Laboratory
......and little of......
Laboratory....
.....in the......
.....Laboratory.....
...and let the experiments do the talking, not the naval-gazing.
[[If humans don’t need it, why are the genes there?
If they evoloved for a reason, why aren’t they being used?]]
Can you imagine a man and woman tryign to date with hypersensitive smelling?
“Ewww- You stink!”
“No! YOU Stink”
“No! You Do!”
Our species would have died out a long time ago- That’s my theory and I’m sticking to it
Only devolution is possible under their hypothesis.
Michael- I’ve reported your post- either step it up, quit acting like you do, and either contribute to the threads and stay on topic, or stay out, or get banned- which you choose is up to you. You do NOTHING but hop into threads with your petty little insults, and contribute absolutely nothign to the threads but childish rhettoric. GGG asked that peopel keep on topic, refrain from the very type posts you have posted, and apparently you aren’t civil enough to respect his wishes- and as such Your posts have been reported.
Excellent find. Thank you!
PS Got a link for that? I’d love to add it to my collection!
And I’ve reported you too for the threatening manner in which I’m treated when I point out that this is a ‘Meta’-article from an obscure internet group that adds no real data whatsoever to the collective body of knowledge and therefore should be treated with the highest amount of suspicion.
