Any practical use for Universal Common Ancestor?

So, you've got nothing, that's what I figured. You are stuck in 1859. Most fossils have been discovered since then.Fiction never depresses me.I note you didn't answer any of my questions from Message 510.

So, Santa Claus fiction is your evidence. Your credibility just keeps dropping.

My turn for what?

What are you, 12?

What sponges, worms and barnacles of the pre-Cambrian? Described fossils have names so be specific. There are no fish in the Cambrian. Judging from what you write, you really are ignorant of this subject. Maybe you should stick with fictional characters like Adam and Eve. Earlier Arthropods, obviously. They seem pretty scientific to me. Your credibility is well into the negative when you post this sort of thing in a science thread. Here are my questions from Message 510 again. Credible or a troll?

It is fiction. Only by the standard of delusional believers is it anything but fiction. You don't know anything about atheists either. Your credibility is in the shitter when you try to use the bible in a scientific discussion.

Indeed.

Just to be clear, the flatworms you guys are talking about Genus Planaria, Phylum Platyhelminthes, correct?

What would be a lot nicer is an explanation of the fossil order that is consistent with the principles of physics, chemistry, geology, biology and all other relevant science.Our observations and theories provide a coherent explanation for the fossil order and, in fact, for the whole fossil record and our knowledge base is being improved continuously.The stuff you have told us you believe about your fantasy flood can only be true if time is suspended, and gravity is suspended, and hydrology is suspended, and sedimentology is suspended, and thermodynamics is suspended, and chemistry is suspended, and biology is suspended, and geology is suspended, and all of physics is suspended.

Yep, I realized that as I read a bit more. Thanks for the info.

No it is not. Your fantasy flood can only be true if time is suspended, and gravity is suspended, and hydrology is suspended, and sedimentology is suspended, and thermodynamics is suspended, and chemistry is suspended, and biology is suspended, and geology is suspended, and all of physics is suspended. Well of course you don't, because you cannot explain or understand it so you have to pretend it doesn't exit. We've watched you do this every single time. Really? Please point out the specific illusion.The reality is that your whole flood scenario is a delusion. What? Are you seriously disputing that ancestors live before their descendants? In what way does the amount of variation in one species refute the fact that life has existed for several BILLIONS of years.We know that the rates at which genetic variation fluctuates within natural populations is highly variable, so whatever point you are trying to make here fails. What the heck are you talking about? Genomes are passed on from ancestors to descendants through reproduction with new mutations slightly modifying the genome every generation. Sometimes lines of descent go extinct and sometimes they are the beginning of dense lines of descent. Really? How do the answers in any way support you fantasy flood?The thing is we can explain the fossil order in a way that is consistent with the principles of physics, chemistry, geology, biology and all other relevant science and you cannot.

Of course we have witness information from that time. Dozens of cultures existed around the world at that time and not one single one of them shows any signs of being wiped out by a global flood.And despite your lack of knowledge we know exactly what the evidence that floods leave behind looks like and it isn't anything like we see where the strata are exposed. You can pretend no one could possibly know what a global flood is like but that is just your made up bullshit. You can believe whatever you want, but Noah is just as fictional as Santa Claus. The geological formations everywhere on this planet are evidence of deposition and erosion over billions of years, not a year long flood. Your fantasy flood can only be true if time is suspended, and gravity is suspended, and hydrology is suspended, and sedimentology is suspended, and thermodynamics is suspended, and chemistry is suspended, and biology is suspended, and geology is suspended, and all of physics is suspended.Fiction. No it is not. A flood does not leave distinct layers of unrelated material like we see everywhere that strata is exposed. You have no explanation for the order in the fossil record that is consistent with the principles of physics, chemistry, geology, biology and all other relevant science.You never actually have an evidence based reason that it is absurd, except for your total lack of any knowledge about geology. The evidence is ALL against you. As mentioned earlier, the order of the fossils supports the fact that your fantasy flood is fiction.The vast majority of animal fossils are from aquatic creatures, not land animals. This conclusion could only be reached by someone who has never studied geology in the field. This is bullshit and you know it. It is right there in Message 658

ABE: since you edited you post after I finished mine: This is pure bullshit that you just made up and do not support with even a shred of evidence or rational thought. You are the one living in a dream world.Edited by Tanypteryx, : No reason given.

You seem to be the only one confused about the explanations.

Well, I already know that you believe a lot of bullshit and your beliefs have no impact on reality.Bechly has done some interesting work, but he ignores evidence. George Bush has a dung beetle named after him because he's an idiot, so having species named after you says nothing about the depth of your knowledge on a subject.I also note that Bechly never includes his ID beliefs in his scientific papers on dragonfly fossils.

Actually, that is correct, because your argument couldn't get any weaker. That's pretty vague. You need to provide a list of those phyla.I realize you are unaware but those are just species that have been identified from Cambrian deposits. First, trilobites, fish, and insects are not phyla classifications.Second, fish and insect fossils have never been identified in any of the Cambrian fauna. You have been told this many times, yet you keep repeating it, which seems silly. So, the lack of any evidence of aliens is evidence of aliens, looks like really sound science to me, 'cause you used science in the sentence and all. Right, says a guy who believes aliens in a fictional book called the bible put people on the Earth 6000 years ago.At least you're funny.
