I gave an answer; the article that GGG referenced was nonsensical, as is the Schneider paper you reference. Both articles clearly show a fundamental LACK of understanding of what a Genetic Algorithm is.
If you’d like to really learn - from a pure computer science standpoint - what a GA really is, then I can suggest some excellent textbooks for you. Of course, it does mean you’ll need to just put on your math and programming hats and drop your theological lenses.
Of course, since the Bible makes no mention of computers and programming, perhaps anything to do with either is witchcraft? Are you allowed to even use computers and programs?
You don’t really see man as a ‘creator kind’ when he develops any simple program or something as complex as a genetic algorithm?
Computer logic and programming was created to simulate life - in it’s infancy in order to perform repetitious mind-numbing tasks involving math, sorting, filtering, and decision-making - but as our knowledge base grows who knows how close it may come to resemble God’s creation.
But have you not researched DNA/RNA enough to see the logic and coding similarities that God has created for every living breathing creature that He saw fit to create - many operations that happen automatically in just fractions of a second? Every organ being built, repaired, and even rebuilt throughout every second of any creature’s life? The massive communications that occur between the brain (mainframe) and the nervous system (network)?
You can’t have the rich diversity of life we enjoy w/o having an awesome all-thinking, all-seeing, all-powerful God to create it! Let alone the physical infrastructure (earth, solar system, and universe) on which it all life - as we know it - depends!
Your posts show you truly lack imagination enough to let your mind soar when you read God’s Word and try to comprehend the awesome and majestic qualities of the one true God described in the Bible.
Show me any other book written that contains anything approaching the truth and veracity of the statements made in the Bible. No modern archeology has ever refuted one historical fact presented in it. No book can come close to the wisdom either - search the prophecies both fullfilled and yet to be fulfilled (roughly 25% of the Bible is prophecy). Psalm 22 was written approx 1000 years before Christ lived and it describes several prophecies He fulfilled in sacrificing His life on the cross.
Look at the scientific facts that mankind has uncovered that were already simply defined in the Bible (man from dust, water cycle, number of stars in the sky equal to grains of sand on the seashores, descriptions of the monstrous land creature leviathan and behemoth of the sea). See www.clarifyingchristianity.com/science.shtml for myriad other examples.

LOL- Yep- nonsensicle- just make hte statement, and that’s the end of it- BOTH those articles broke down EXACTLT what was goign on- obviously you didn’t bother to even give htem a read- Your only point was about ‘stop executing’- but BOTH those articles addressed everyhtign you brought up-

Teee heee heee- look everybody- Puget thinks he’s a smartie because he can ‘insult’ right alongside hte kiddies in the higher classes
You addressed NONE of the points in EITHER article- the points brought up were entirely valid and representative of what GA’s consist of- and htey expose the silly notion that GA’s are representative of anythign even resembling macroevolution- IF your textbooks tell you differently, they are lyign to you and I’ll take a pass on them thank you very much- Stick to your theological GA’s if you like- but as for us- We’ll look at hte ACTUAL DATA and determine that they are unsound from a scientific standpoint-
