Let me just say that there are similarities in cells, but I do not believe they're identical. I do not believe that though, cells can be similar, will you get identical results in mutations. Mammals, reptiles, amphibians in seperation are similar, but are they identical? Not at all. Is this type of closed-circus thinking difficult, or.does income naturally? I'd really like to be able to open up to it and try it out. Any tips? You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat

One of the defining features of E. Coli is that it is unable to use citrate as a food source. The food used to culture the strains, however, has a large amount of citrate in it – a potential food source that remained beyond the reach of the evolving strains. For tens of thousands of generations, no variants arose that could make use of this potential resource – even though every possible single DNA letter mutation (and every possible double mutation combination) had been “tested” at some point along the way. There seemed no way to for the populations to generate “specified information” to use citrate as a food source – they couldn’t “get there from here.” Then one day, the fateful change occurred in one of the 12 populations. Lenski puts it this way:
Details, detailsTracking down the nature of this dramatic change led to some interesting findings. The ability to use citrate as a food source did not arise in a single step, but rather as a series of steps, some of which are separated by thousands of generations:
Don’t tell the bacteriaThe significance of these experiments for the Intelligent Design Movement is clear. Complex, specified information can indeed arise through natural mechanisms; it does not need to arise all at once, but rather accrue over thousands of generations; independent mutations that do not confer a specific advantage can later combine with other mutations to produce new functions; new functions can be quite inefficient when they arise and then be honed through further mutations and selection; and the entire process can occur without ever reducing the fitness of a specific lineage within a population. Moreover, these findings have been demonstrated with a full historical record of the genetic changes involved for the entire population they occurred in, as well as full knowledge of their fitness at every step along the way. In other words, what the IDM claims is impossible, these “tiny and lowly” organisms have simply been doing – and it only took 15 years in a single lab in Michigan. Imagine what could happen over 3,500,000,000 years over millions of square miles of the earth’s surface. "Twinkle, twinkle little star how I wonder what you are."

Wait, what? I didn't say anything about species being similar. I said the deeper you go the simpler the lifeforms get, and that germs have changed to become stronger due to "natural" selection unintentionally caused by antibiotics in just a few years.

Observing something that takes millions of years for the smallest of changes cannot be done in a couple of centuries. You have to understand the fact that humans have been here for the tiniest amount of time relative to the age of the planet. And the time is even more miniscule when you consider how long we have been here with a brain that actually started taking interest and studying these things.
However, because we have a brain that can quantify and calculate probabilities based on ancient evidence, we can get over that hurdle of direct observation. That is how it works. If we only took what we can directly observe as being true, we wouldnt know anything at all!
We know our sun will die in around 6 billion years time. We know it has been shining for a little less than that. How do we know this? We certainly havent been here long enough to observe any decay or change in the sun, but what we do have is the aquired knowledge, mathematical formulas and laws of physics to be able to extrapolate, interpret and conclude this.
We know our galaxy will collide with the andomeda galaxy in something like 4 billion years time. How do we know this when we see absolutely no observable movement of andomeda's proximity towards us? Because we have the science to be able to calculate this.
We know the speed of light is 186,000 miles per second. But surely we cant know the speed of something we cant see, touch or capture? Why, funny you should ask, because certainly we can!
We can tell a lot of things about things that cant be directly observed. We do it all the time from aging trees that are millenia old without cutting them up, to seeing what the climate of the earth was like at any given time in the distant past. We can guage the rate at which the universe is expanding to how particles that cannt be seen react with each other.
By the argument of your creationist "scientists" whom you have quoted, all this knowledge and advancement in our understanding is all nonsense because we just cant physically observe any of it.

Maybe. But whether or not someone "chooses" a belief does not alter whether or not that belief is correct or not. Instead, I think one should allow beliefs to become apparent as new knowledge and understanding is thought over, and not something that one should actively "choose". Allowing yourself to "choose" a belief might lead to self-bias... Toejam @ Peach & Black Podcast: http://peachandblack.podbean.com

NO NEW SPECIES?!?!
heaven help.... what planet are you from? you are ignorant on evolution, okay, that's one thing. but the sad thing is, you also know jack shit about YOUR side, Creationism
lookyhere, if no new species had been produced, then you have a problem. cause you can not account for all the MILLIONS of species that have appeared since Noahs Ark in a few thousand years! that's speciation at a speed that would make any biologist shudder
but don't take my word for it. ask Creationists
AIG and other Creationist sites list that always under "arguments Creationists should not use"

another whopper made of tasty BULLSHIT
Creationists also list this under :drumroll:.... "Arguments Creationists should not use"
just for a change, do you have any reliable source at hand? or exclusively complete and utter nonsense and LIES? doesn't your God tell you it's a sin to spread lies? so why do you sin against him? do you WANT to go to hell or what?

I believe as you believe.
Why would a force that has all of eternity do something in 6 days and then rest?
I most deffinately believe in a spiritual power in the universe that is all connected.
Maybe some of what scientists discover proves certain things said in certain religions are not word for word factual but they do not disprove the existence of a God. There came a time when the risk of remaining tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. Anais Nin. | |

I did explain it, in #102
again, the claim that "No one has ever produced a species by the mechanisms of natural selection" is false, a complete stinker. if it were true then it disproves the story about Noahs Ark. Creationists desperately need rapid speciation to explain billions of new species occuring since the flood.
so do you want to disprove the Bible with post #97
The Lady Hope chick could be telling the truth, but deemed her a liar to cover his reputation, but naw you don't want to think of that. If you want to believe evolution is real, knock yourself out. I don't. The Lady Hope chick could be lying but naw you don't want to think of that
see, I heard a very credible story from a certain Lady Hipp, she confirmed various eye witeness accounts that Jesus recanted on the cross, saying he was not the Son Of God, but naw you don't want to think of that
anyway it's completely irrelvant what Lady Hope or even Darwin said, evolution as a scientific theory and thereofre independent from individuls and opinions, but only relies on facts and evidence. and those leave no doubt. so I do not have a choice to "believe" or not to "believe" in evolution, since it is happening, that is a fact. like I have no choice to believe or not to believe in gravity
