Evolution Ping The List-O-Links

A conservative, pro-evolution science list, now with over 320 names. See the list's explanation, then FReepmail to be added or dropped. To assist beginners: But it's "just a theory", Evo-Troll's Toolkit, and How to argue against a scientific theory.

Thanks for the ping!

Here's a dog with human-like genes.

LOL on the 'genes'. . .and for sure, the 'jeans'. . .

[muir_redwoods]

"The rate at which they evolve into other KINDS of animals is zero."

We await your proof of that null hypothesis.

[cricket]

This helps me understand a few people.

Funny, how we cannot escape our own metaphors. . .

It certainly works for a lot of Liberals. . .

Even gives substance to their environs i.e. Democrat Underground. . .

[mountainlyons]

Carrots have 70% of human genes therefore carrots evolved from carrots!

[aimhigh]

This overturns a commonly-held view of the nature of genes in the first animals.

Actually, this supports CREATION and blows a huge hole in the lie of evolution.

[aposiopetic]

Another thing that this has shown us is that evolution is not always about gain; the loss of complexity can equally be an important player in evolution.

Simplification happens.

[Dimensio]

Actually, this supports CREATION and blows a huge hole in the lie of evolution.

How does this falsify evolution and how does this support CREATION? Be specific.

[cricket]

Good graphic; but by the above. . .perhaps the gradations are supposed to be, the other way around. . .

A variation on the the old. . .what comes around. . .goes around. . .

Thanks for nearly ruining my whole day!

Danged near puked coffee on the keyboard!

The LEAST you could do is post a WARNING a few posts BEFORE you put this filth online!

SHEESH!

[furball4paws]

Oh man!. I didn't think there was a worse one than the usual.

Yuuuccchhh.

[Stultis]

Poor reconstruction. Homo leftia hippieus should be wearing Birkenstocks.

[Stultis]

The rate at which they evolve into other KINDS of animals is zero.

What's a "kind"?

[gungafox]

The rate at which they evolve into other KINDS of animals is zero.

What's a "kind"?

I prefer to use the word "KIND" which you see in the bible to avoid the confusion you get with the word "species".

Evolution believers are forever talking about examples of "speciation" which do not involve macroevolution or the production of a new KIND of any sort; you have to move up one or two taxonomic categories to get into the meat of macroevolution and what the controversy is really about.

You'd never know that listening to evolutionists however. Liars that they are, they talk about within-kind speciation as if that proves the theory of evolution somehow or other.

A new KIND of animal is one with new kinds of organs and a new general plan for life. The differences between cats and dogs or between wolves and goats is a difference in KINDS. The difference between finches with different kinds of beaks of pepper moths of different colors is not.

What's a "kind"?

Someone please ping me when you get a straightforward answer from a creationist to this question (I don't expect an alert any time soon....)

An even simpler question no creationist has ever answered for me - are frogs and toads the same "kind", or two different "kinds"?

[familyop]

"What's a "kind"?"

To many bio-researchers on the social left, it means "child."

[Quark2005]

The differences between cats and dogs or between wolves and goats is a difference in KINDS.

What about frogs and toads?

[Senator Bedfellow]

How about frogs and salamanders?

[Quark2005]

How about frogs and salamanders?

Absolutely. If frogs and toads have a common ancestor, this would mean "family" is a kind (though strangely, cats and dogs are different "kind", even though they are both members of the Carnivora family).

Frogs and toads definitely seem to be of the same "kind" as salamanders, too, especially when we keep finding fossils like this:

Is this a frog "kind" or salamander "kind"? I can't tell.
