Diomedes, what does your diagram represent other than propaganda?
It's actually referred to as 'humor'. Hence the smiley face.
For example if I am a creationist and I don't use, "bad logic" or I don't use quote-mining, then if that is not my "creationist method", then wouldn't your diagram be false?
If you are a creationist, you are by definition, using 'bad logic'. That is simple to discern by the fact that you are starting with your conclusion and working backwards. That is the reverse of intellectual logic and the scientific method.
So when you say, "it really is that simple", are you aware for example that "sound logic" would tell us that this only represents a false disjunction called a false dichotomy, sometimes known as a limited choice fallacy?
It isn't a false dichotomy since the debate is predicated between two camps: evolution versus creationism. If you would like to inject a third option, please feel free to do so.
As for your "scientific method" where is your testing?
See every research paper, experiment and subsequent publication on the topic of evolution. I would provide the links, but the deluge would likely overwhelm the EVC servers.
Please tell me, can you show 1 million times how scales evolve into feathers?
I have to show you a 'million times'? Is that how many times is required for you to absorb the information?
If it helps, here is a link:
Feather evolution
That search took me all of ten seconds to perform by the way.
And if you want to expand your knowledge further, you can also see how both feathers and hair came from scales. Here another link you can access:
Science | AAAS
To help you along, here are a few key paragraphs:
quote:
Hair in mammals and feathers in birds have long been known to develop from placodespatches of thickened skin in embryos that are created by special cells known as columnar cells. These patches had not been seen in reptile embryos, leading scientists to believe that scales were unrelated to hair and feathers. Because birds and mammals evolved from separate lineages, scientists had two hypotheses: Placodes evolved two separate yet identical times in birds and mammals, respectively, or reptiles lost them over time, whereas birds and mammals didn't.
quote:
Using scanning electron microscopes to view the tiny embryos, the scientists were able to see hundreds of placodes. Each was located where a scale eventually grew. But the structuresbasically just small, raised bumpsappear sporadically in place and time during development, Milinkovitch says. "You have to look at the right place at the right time." Reptiles with two copies of the EDA mutation did not develop placodes at all, leading to a lack of scales, whereas reptiles with one copy of the mutation developed scales of smaller size.
And you can also note that the scientists still believe more research is needed. But I didn't see any mention in the article that they think the root cause was actually an invisible super being.
ADMIN: why wasn't Diomedes reprimanded for his mischief? I was when I posted to links and information with a summary of evolution.
Well, I can't answer that one for you. I will defer to the admins on that one. But if you would prefer a more pertinent image that I can share, how about this one?
Oh, and you're welcome.
