Kalamata: "Joe the Science Denier says..."

Still Rules #5 & #7.

Kalamata: "ENCODE is the proverbial camel's nose under the tent, and no doubt the evolutionism high-priesthood will resist as long as they can.
But, for all practical purposes, evolutionism is a dead religion.
Good riddance."

So you are back to claiming ENCODE is anti-evolution?
And this despite the fact that nobody in ENCODE agrees with you?

As for "dead end religion", that's still Rule #5.

Kalamata: "Your lying is pathological, Alinsky Joe.
You have never debated a holocaust denier, except perhaps in the mirror.
Frankly, I think you are a projecting your holocaust denial onto me, like a good little Alinskite."

Those are Rules #5, #6, #7 & #8.

Kalamata: "Why did you avoid my statement about medicine and DNA, Alinsky Joe?
Everyone know why.
Evolution is 100% useless.
It does nothing except corrupt whatever it comes in contact with."

Rules #6 & #7.

What did you say about medicine and DNA?
If you claimed that cutting edge DNA research has nothing to do with evolution, that would be Rule #6.

Kalamata quoting Behe: "Darwinian evolution proceeds mainly by damaging or breaking genes, which, counterintuitively, sometimes helps survival.
In other words, the mechanism is powerfully devolutionary....
That is, the very same factors that promote diversity at the simplest levels of biology actively prevent it at more complex ones.
Darwin's mechanism works chiefly by squandering genetic information for short-term gain." [Michael J. Behe, "Darwin Devolves." HarperOne, 2019, Chap.1]"

Translated into normal English: the processes of evolution can include devolution, meaning life does not always "complexify" but can also simplify.
Behe mentions polar bears which turn out to be much more closely related to brown bears than previously understood.
Behe seems to think it's a problem, but how big can that "problem" be if the two species routinely interbreed?

Kalamata quoting Behe: "Over time, dwindling degradatory options fence in an evolutionary lineage, halting organismal change before it crosses the family line"

Rules #2 & #6.

Kalamata: "However, if we get rid of the unnecessary and very heavy baggage of evolutionism, science will be much more managable."

More Rule #6.

I see you are still playing childish games instead of debating.

I believe it is safe to assume that you are naturally obnoxious.

If you claim it does, you are either deceiving or have been deceived. Evolution is a historical "science".

Gibberish. Devolution is the opposite of evolution, by definition:

"Definition of devolution: retrogression from a derived to a primitive or less differentiated state; the reverse of evolution." [Mai et al, "The Cambridge Dictionary of Human Biology and Evolution." 2005, p.142]

It is only a "problem" for evolutionary theory.

"It seems, then, that the magnificent Ursus maritimus has adjusted to its harsh environment mainly by degrading genes that its ancestors already possessed. Despite its impressive abilities, rather than evolving, it has adapted predominantly by devolving." [Michael J. Behe, "Darwin Devolves." HarperOne, 2019, Chap.1]

Quit playing games.
