Of course you remember this.

Yup, and same question, same refutation - stop wasting my time, the answer is below:

I chose the mosquito study to examine in detail since it is a good example of natural selection in the wild and the ONLY logical conclusion is that the duplicated esterase genes are expressed. Nilla

We have been over this before. We are not talking logic, we are talking facts. What you call logic is not logic. It is only logical if you start with the premise that evolution is true. Since that is what we are trying to determine such a premise is not valid. Since the premise is not valid the 'logical conclusion' from that premise is not valid. It is also very telling that since this is such a 'logical' conclusion, you cannot find any scientists that say that this is in fact what occurred. They do not say that the new gene(s) was(were) expressed. If this is the only 'logical' conclusion why don't they say it? Because they know it is not true. See my answer to Stultis just above for the reasons. 414 posted on 7/24/02 10:23 PM Pacific by gore3000

You can't. You are illogical.

we are talking facts

Fact: Only mosquitoes with the duplicated genes have increased esterase levels.

Fact: Non-mutant mosquitoes do not overproduce esterase.

Fact: The mosquitoes with the duplicated genes are resistant to organophosphates.

Fact: Wild type mosquitoes die in the presence of organophosphates.

These facts have been observed in many different mosquito populations all over the world. There is an unquestionable link between gene duplication, esterase production and organophosphate resistance. Draw your own conclusions.

If this is the only 'logical' conclusion why don't they say it?

They DID. If they didn’t that paper wouldn’t have been published!

As usual you failed to READ anything I gave you.
