Epigenetics Rising in Consciousness of Geneticists, Embryologists
--snip--
Epigenetics is poised to mount another major assault on evolutionary theory. One of the points made in the upcoming film Darwin’s Dilemma* is that epigenetic factors pile difficulty upon difficulty for Darwin, because evolutionary theory needs to account not only for genetic information in DNA, but the epigenetic information that controls development. There are many factors beyond the gene library that determine a body plan. What orchestrates and choreographs the orderly localization of cell types in a developing embryo? What manages their differentiation? What commits them to the roles they will play? We are only beginning to understand these higher-order programs. If neo-Darwinists were hard-pressed to explain the genetic code by the accumulation of mutations filtered by natural selection, wait till they have to account for the epigenetic code...

ping!
I suspect that there will be an ever increasing number of these movies in the years to come. Amen to that!
Epi-genetics is a fascinating subject if you can get past B.S. like this.
What BS would that be? That super-sophisticated designs, piled on top super-sophisticated designs, piled on top of super-sophisticated designs, all working towards a common goal, are best explained by a common designer rather than Darwin’s brain-dead notions of common descent, dictated by random processess plus survival?!?!
Are you saying that whatever causes the differentiation in the cells in the blastocyst to occur isn't more complex than even the genetic code is turning out to be?
Could you elaborate, please, about what part is *BS*?
The part about every scientific discovery being spun as a repudiation of science.
Thanks for the ping!
And there ya go....clear as mud.
I think you’re equating science with evolution, and plainly they’re just not the same. No theory that I know of has so many cult followers incapable of answering any criticism of their theory with “that’s not science” except the cult of evolution crowd.
The lawsuits, the whining...it’s plain for any and everyone to see except the victims that could use a really good deprogrammer.
What’s even more amazing to me is that the Evos just don’t see it. How blind can a person get? All we have to do is turn to the Evos to answer that question!
If you actually knew anything about the history of creation-evolution controversies, you'd know that creationists have brought plenty of lawsuits themselves. There was a whole series of legal battles in California, for instance, stretching through the 1970's and into the 80's, initiated by creationists and seeking to have evolution removed from curricula as religious, and/or to include creationism as balance.
As for which side does the most whining and most markedly plays the victim, I'm entirely happy to have the lurkers judge that themselves.
And your point? It's already been explained a ga-jillion times on here Christians have simply responded to dismantling the culture. If secluar humanist libs are going to hi-jack the legal system to dispose of God in our culture, over their silly multiple God insecurities and hang-ups they will be fought tooth and nail, it's as simple as that.

I most CERTAINLY have no problem with that on Free Republic! The conservatives that way outnumber the closet liberals on here understand what the NEA and Michael Newdow types are doing to destroy this country...it's the nature of liberals to whine and cry and stomp their feet and be at odds with God and all things Christian, from creationism/ID to Christmas carols to pretty much you name it!! The intelligent lurkers get that and simply understand they're finally being taken to task! This is why we see ThomasMore and the ACLJ answering these absurd insecurities and liberal political correctness.

Actually, the devil’s playground is this world and everything in it.
The world is God’s people’s workshop.
