Any practical use for Universal Common Ancestor?

Many historical facts and events described in the Bible have been corroborated by archaeology. Look it up and learn.

And many have been falsified.Getting some of it correct is not evidence that any other part is correct.

Few people really understand Popper, though creationists often think they do.That's because he was a philosopher. He had no laboratory.But his grasp of English was fine. Your inability to comprehend has nothing to do with that. Some of us, yes. Yes, you said that.

Really? According to Gunter Bechly, there is no evidence whatsoever of evolutionary ancestors of insects.Who should I believe - you or a world-renowned paleontologist who has three insects named after him?Edited by Dredge, : No reason given.Edited by Dredge, : No reason given.

But you know that they appeared in the Cambrian Period, yes? Everyone has an opinion and he is entitled to his. The question is, what can you bring to the table here besides the opinions of others?You could do a little research outside the confines of your little creationist box, however.Evolution of insects - WikipediaEdited by edge, : No reason given.

1. Er, please be advised that one lucky find is hardly statistically significant.2. Fossils indicate that some kind of "evolution" has occurred over billions of years, but fossils tell us ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about what caused that "evolution".3. Tikaalik and "evolution" can be explained by my "aliens did it" theory. Edited by Dredge, : No reason given.

The ol' "we don't know everything therefore we know nothing" gambit. Boring.Gets harder and harder to cram God/aliens into those gaps, amirite?

The find was not "lucky".Your aliens are compatible with anything and explain nothing.

Did I say that? 1. There are plenty of transitional fossils. Every fossil is a transitional. But their paucity suggests very large jumps have occurred, which doesn't suggest a steady process of biological evolution. In others words, genetic engineering is a much better explanation of the evidence.2. Fossils tell us ZERO about what caused evolution. The Darwinian explanation is not confirmed in the slightest by fossils. Edited by Dredge, : No reason given.Edited by Dredge, : No reason given.Edited by Dredge, : No reason given.

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.

It would be the only way that your argument would be supported. Not really, but we'll let that go for a while. And the incompleteness of the fossil record makes that understandable.What is the problem?Unless, that is, you think that the fossil record is complete ... Who said it was steady?Oh, that's right! YOU said so. Fine with me. Where's the evidence? No, but known mechanisms occur.Your mechanism is unknown and unsupported. That's because there's more to it than just the fossils.You guys can't seem to get anything right, yes?

Would you agree that if mutations changed the human genome into the chimp genome that the result would be a chimp? If it is impossible, then how was the creator able to do it?

That's absolutely false. The observation of lineage specific adaptations and a phylogenetic signal tells us that the mechanism is vertical inheritance and lineage specific mutations. Aliens don't explain the phylogenetic signal.

Based on that argument all of Harry Potter must be historical.Edited by Theodoric, : No reason given.

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.
