When you do not understand something possibly look inward and apply yourself. https://library.ncu.edu/friendly.php?s=statsresources/measurement

Divider seems to think microbes are just goo. Life around the undersea vents wasn't that gooey.

Whether something is Continuous or categorical is really just an artifact of measurement, not a limit on reality. The loss of compatibility to mate is a threshold marker to define limit between species. Do you consider donkeys and horses the same species? Okay.

Evidence helps fuel the imagination. There is the fruit fly experiment where the flies adapted to no light conditions. Dark fly might not be a new species but it sure did evolve to the environment. A bacterium became able to metabolize citrate. Both life fprms became better able to survive...

As per usual. The environment in conjunction with pressures relative to other forms. Think how not who. True enough -- you have to take your first few steps to eventually travel a 100 miles. The set expands gradually over time. No step is ginormous. Cumulatively creative. This is a bottom...

You are a trip. I see you do this a lot. You need to read what a poster has written within the thread of the immediate discussion before responding, Get the context firmly in mind before hitting reply . Just replying as if the words in front of you are all that matters is hella lazy. Here...

Use the phrase common decent instead of goo-goo to you. Please try to track the discussion better. They adapt so is really NOT a precise reproduction -- new attributes are created by natural selection, and over time kinds are more and more varied so much so it become more helpful to discuss...

Yes, it has. They documented it flowers, and can be easily inferred from the fossil record. Why do you accept virgin birth but not speciation? Maybe we should always call evolution evolution. It has confused you so much. Do you doubt continental drift but believe in microshifting. Why is...

How about common descent? And, maybe bring that up only when appropriate as in when we are discussing the big picture and NOT when we are discussing shorter-term evolution of traits?

No way. Ukraine is much less corrupt. Independent index of level of freedom score is 60 for Ukraine and 20 for Russia 100 point scale. Too late. Ukraine is an independent nation. Ukrainians and many Russians citizens believe this move is pure evil.

I did not buy for a second, your contention that evolution has not been observed. Change of characteristic of a species over generations is observed all the time. Furthermore, speciation can be inferred from a clear evidentiary basis. We cannot directly observe atoms, black holes, or the...

Science is a method. There is a philosophy of science, but science does not philosophize per se. Supernatural claims are assessed in the same manner as usual. ESP bears no fruit. Astrology is a circus act. Prayer does not help the sick. Creation "science" has been debunked. Faith is based on...

You are the one insisting on using baby talk to describe evolution.

Why do you have a problem with goo to you evolution, but not goo to you development? Your Daddy's GOO lead to YOU. Remember that every time you use that phrase!

Marke, you do not have special access to God's mind.

Xians have no obligation whatsoever to prove up their beliefs to anyone. They can believe the dictates of their faith and live their lives accordingly. It is when they try to impose their beliefs on others in the public square that they must substantiate their beliefs if they want them to carry...

Not Arabic and ancient history.

A third possibility is that it was not a hoax and it is also not true. I believe this one is the most likely. No eye witnesses of the resurrection write for the Bible. No one who wrote the Bible even had the chance to interview a witness. Jesus was originally believed to be an inhabitant in...

The hallmark of evolution is natural selection which is actually very systematic. You freshman keep thrusting the chance factor forward recklessly. Try and remember that evolution requires less random input as an organism becomes more sophisticated. See you on Freshman day...

Exactly. Why quibble? It was a period of time and on this we all agree. No need to bridge the gap between 6 days and 3.5 billion years. Same difference.
