In other words, phylogenetic reconstruction is sheer fantasy

In other words, phylogenetic reconstruction is sheer fantasy...

William Dembski

--snip--

The actual phylogenies here were experimentally known and yet standard evolutionary theory drew completely wrong conclusions. Oh, but it was a small population, small genomes, and intense selection pressure. Spare me...

Typically, a dozen or more substitutions accumulated in the 5.4-kilobase genome during propagation. Across the entire data set of nine lineages, 119 independent substitutions occurred at 68 nucleotide sites.

Oh yeah.. and that just proves all kind of stuff, huh?

Apparently you missed the following admission in the very same paper:

“Phylogenetic reconstruction using the complete genome sequence not only failed to recover the correct evolutionary history because of these convergent changes, but the true history was rejected as being a significantly inferior fit to the data.”

Well that certainly wraps everything up quite nicely!

I have an idea. Let’s take the loudest and droolest of both the ‘Evos’ & ‘Crevos’, put ‘em in a small pit, and sell tickets.

Before we could reach the Cock Fight fans, we would have to have Spanish translation service, and I’m not sure whether RedNeck or Urban Ebonics would be demanded by the Dog Fight fans. I think that athlete who turned out to be a dog fight fan would prefer the latter option.

Unlike four legged animal fights, PETA couldn’t care less what happens to humans, so no PETA protesters would appear.

But this much is certain. For sheer fight, ‘grit’, spirit’, ‘fight’ - this Modest Proposal would be second to none.

Thus, this proposed FR Fight Night would bring in lots of needed money. We might even be able to drop the FReepathons.

Speaking of which - have you contributed?

I would debate this. If you take a very close look at the phylogenies and you apply several variances to the standard evolutionary theory, most notably the intelligence of the subject, you will come to the following conclusion.

Liberalism is in fact a mental disorder.

It’s not “crevos”, it’s “cretins”. Much better fit.

An Evo passing judgment, now that’s funny!

The trouble is, I don’t think either side thinks of that which divides us as a sport.

Ask that social Darwinist Jerry Springer. I'm sure he'll have a few pointers for you.

You know, I did a test post (incompleted) on this URL. It would have posted in its entirety.

I don't often click through on excerpts, and the excerpt you posted wasn't interesting enough to rise through the click-through barrier.

Sorry, but for me your effort was wasted.

You typed all that just to say my post wasn’t worth it? Your ways are very strange, Mr. Sionnsar!

pardon me while I make myself a salad in celebration of intellectual honesty finally being displayed by the church of Darwin:

“Phylogenetic reconstruction using the complete genome sequence not only failed to recover the correct evolutionary history because of these convergent changes, but the true history was rejected as being a significantly inferior fit to the data.”
