Re: Just to interject the YEC floodist view
Faith writes: AND that nobody has offered a pathway for getting genetic changes from one species genome to that of another species although I've asked and asked.
Since nobody has ever demonstrated a barrier, there's no need to offer a pathway.

Re: Just to interject the YEC floodist view
Faith writes: I have as a matter of fact demonstrated a barrier in how breeds develop by "using up" genetic variation, which is most apparent in "purebreds." That is a natural outcome of selection processes whether domestic or "natural,"
On the contrary, artificial selection arbitrarily decides what characteristics are "desirable". It deliberately throws away mutations, shrinking the gene pool. There is no such limitation on natural selection. Every mutation gets its chance to succeed.
Faith writes: To get from a species to another species would require genetic changes beyond those built into the genome, and that can't happen...
What I'm asking you is to SHOW that it can't happen, not just assert. You have to show an actual mechanism in the chemistry of the DNA.
Faith writes: ... or if it could it would require so much trial and error it could only produce millions of monsters before it could produce one viable new trait not possessed by the original genome.
There's plenty of time for that. You can't use your erroneous ideas about the age of the earth to back up your erroneous ideas about evolution. That's circular. Edited by ringo, : Spealing.

Re: Just to interject the YEC floodist view
Faith writes: Too tedious to argue about all this here right now.
Yes, that's your classic run-away strategy. Soon enough you'll be back making the same old same old claims and also claiming that you answered the rebuttals. Let this be a record that you didn't.

Re: Scientific theory and "proof" vs validation/s
Dredge writes: The best scientific explanation for fossil record is genetic engineering performed by aliens...
Mr. Occam would call that an "unnecessary enity". It is far from scientific.
Dredge writes: ... this amounts to powerful scientific evidence of the existence of advanced aliens.
No more than it points to the existence of scientifically advanced unicorns.

Re: Scientific theory and "proof" vs validation/s
Dredge writes: Mr. Occan is both right and wrong: "right" because all explanations for the fossil record are "unnecessary".
Occam's Razor is about the entities IN the explanation. It says nothing about the value of the explanation itself.

There is a mathematical difference, like the difference between killing one person and two people. But they're both equally wrong, like 2+2=3 and 2+2=5.

Re: The Evidence Screams For Validation
Dredge writes: If that were true, you would have accepted my "aliens" theory, which is clearly scientifically superior to the nineteenth-century evolution story you can't let go of.
If it was "clearly scientifically superior", it would be clear to scientists and not just schoolboys.

Re: Another useful application of evolutionary theory

First, you suggested that "civilization" wouldn't survive. Did you mean only Japan? Second, have you ever heard of immigration? Maybe Japan will fail due to insufficient immigration.

Re: Another useful application of evolutionary theory
Dredge writes: You're assuming the birth-rates of the immigrants will be healthy. But what if the immigrant women are brainwashed by feminism as well? They won't reproduce in sufficient numbers either.
My assumption is based on facts - i.e. past history. Yours is based on a stupid misconception about feminism.
