Mathematical Challenges to Darwin’s Theory of Evolution with Berlinski, Meyer, and Gelernter
Hoover Institution - Uncommon Knowledge ^ | 7/22/2019 | Stephen Meyer, David Berlinski, David Gelernter, Peter Robinson

Posted on 07/28/2019 10:50:40 AM PDT by Tennessean4Bush

Recorded on June 6, 2019 in Italy.

Based on new evidence and knowledge that functioning proteins are extremely rare, should Darwin’s theory of evolution be dismissed, dissected, developed or replaced with a theory of intelligent design?

Has Darwinism really failed? Peter Robinson discusses it with David Berlinski, David Gelernter, and Stephen Meyer, who have raised doubts about Darwin’s theory in their two books and essay, respectively The Deniable Darwin, Darwin’s Doubt, and “Giving Up Darwin” (published in the Claremont Review of Books).

If it is a lie, then name something that scientists would accept as falsification of the theory.

Why don’t you tell me what would falsify evolution, instead of your seemingly unending stream of fact-free statements? If you knew what you were able to explain what you were talking about you would do that. You carefully avoid any discussion whatsoever of the actual theory.

You are totally confusing math and science.

“Why don’t you tell me what would falsify evolution, “

You made the claim. Go do your own homework.

You seem to be playing some psychotic game where you keep replying without any logical/factual content.

Just alerted that you posted a false statement and should go do your homework. My statement is factual and logical.

Sorry, but you’re the only one doing that, as demonstrated by the article I posted from a scientist with a PhD who actually works in the field of evolution. It’s quite obvious you don’t have the credentials or even a basic level of familiarity with the subject to argue with him.

“Go do your own homework.”

Translated from Gatorese: “I don’t know but I am too stubborn and dishonest to admit when I am wrong.”

Why would I argue with him. I am very happy that you agree his thoughts.


very, very, very, very, very unlikely, that the theory of evolution by natural and sexual selection may one day turn out to be false. But then again, it is also possible, albeit very, very, very, very, very unlikely, that monkeys will fly out of my ass tomorrow. In my judgment, both events are about equally likely.”

A simple google or reading of a textbook proves your statement false. Stop spreading fake science.

Evolution has been disproved. It’s fake science.

hmm. So you did your homework and now have no reasonable response.

"A simple google or reading of a textbook proves your statement false."

That you have to google this shows you don't really know what you are talking about. Also, textbooks... well, they aren't the most accurate source on this subject, according to the National Science Teaching Association itself:

“Why would I argue with him.”

Because he flatly refutes the false assertion that you made. If you don’t argue with him, but only argue with me when I dispute that same assertion, then you aren’t arguing honestly or consistently.

“I am very happy that you agree his thoughts.”

I agree with his assertion of the fact that theories are never proven, which is what the issue at hand is. He even agrees to this in what you quoted (”But then again, it is also possible...”), so if you agree with him, then you have tacitly admitted you were wrong.

Your source in reference to global warming:

LOL. The issue is that you posted a false statement. Do you want me to repost it?

“The issue is that you posted a false statement.”

Sorry, but you are the one who made the false statement. I’ve so far posted two sources by credentialed professionals refuting your assertion (that scientific theories are proved), and you haven’t offered a single source of any similar authority to support your false assertion.

Of course, that is your standard MO, you just say things with no evidence to back them up.

Here is the lie you supported:

“Evolution theory doesn’t even qualify as true science since there’s no stated condition which would falsify it.”

ID declares that God is dead? Really? One can see all the workings of God in His design, even though understanding of ORIGINS of the billions of miracles within organic life is impossible.
