Re: UCD evidence
If you can't provide a scientific paper that supports your claim that Covid vaccines work because of UCD Message 1127, why should I believe you?
I don't give a rat's ass whether you believe or not. UCD is established fact and you cannot challenge it.

What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts

"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

Re: UCD Is Not The Issue.
Why are you talking about evidence for UCD? I think you must be in the wrong thread.

Which treatment of which disease could not have been developed without accepting "the fact of UCD", and why?
You've got this all arse about face. I can throw a ball at a target without needing to "accept" Newton's laws. Never-the-less the laws still apply.
So when medical science uses animal models to test drugs they choose animals that are the likeliest to react to them the same way as humans - which assumes genetic similarity. Without any knowledge of evolution (the UCD is a conclusion drawn from the ToE) it would be logical to choose chimps as models but why would you also choose pigs? Or a fruit fly? The answer is common relatedness.
quote:
According to his (Alfred Nobel's) words, the Nobel Prize of Physiology or Medicine (NPPM) should be attributed to “the person who shall have made the most important discovery within the domain of physiology or medicine.” Until today, 222 scientists awarded the NPPM from 1901 to 2020 [3]. According to the Foundation for Biomedical Research, 186 award researchers (from the 222 total) used animal models in their projects [4]. From the total of NPPM awards, 23 were attributed to scientists and projects directly related to Pharmacology and the use and test of different drugs and chemicals in order to treat diseases, infectious agents, and physical conditions [4].
Animal models are based on the principle of comparative medicine that animals share physiological, pathological, behavioral, or many more other characteristics with humans.
Animal Models in Pharmacology: A Brief History Awarding the Nobel Prizes for Physiology or Medicine - FullText - Pharmacology 2021, Vol. 106, No. 7-8 - Karger Publishers
So without the relatedness of all species, the animal models that all drug researchers use would not work and the relatedness of all species is due to common descent.
Modern medicine depends on UCD simply being a fact. But even if it didn't, even if it had no clue that all life descended from a common ancestor, it would still be fact.

Je suis Charlie. Je suis Ahmed. Je suis Juif. Je suis Parisien. I am Mancunian. I am Brum. I am London. Olen Suomi Soy Barcelona. I am Ukraine.

"Science adjusts it's views based on what's observed.
Faith is the denial of observation so that Belief can be preserved."

UCD is the default position in all science. It is ridiculous to demand that anybody "back it up".

I asked the poster to provide a scientific paper that says Covid vaccines work bcoz of UCD.

No, the answer is common DNA. Finding model animals with similar DNA to humans doesn't require the theory of UCD.
A scientist who rejects UCD could find model animals with similar DNA to humans just as competently as a scientist who accepts UCD.

The article says "Animal models are based on the principle of comparative medicine that animals share physiological, pathological, behavioral, or many more other characteristics with humans".
It doesn't say anything about animal models being based on UCD.
You've got it arse-about-face:
The similarities that exist between humans and model animals don't need the theory of UCD, but the theory of UCD needs the similarities that exist between humans and model animals.
the relatedness of all species is due to common descent.
Medicine doesn't care if "the relatedness of all species is due to common descent" or not. If the fossil record didn't exist and no one had ever thought of UCD, it wouldn't make any difference to medical science.
Modern medicine depends on UCD simply being a fact.
Simply bullshit. Your explanation for why certain animals share physiological, pathological, behavioral, or many more other characteristics with humans is irrelevant and useless to medicine.
Medicine works due to the utilization of facts, and owes nothing to useless Darwinist folklore like the theory of UCD.
But even if it didn't, even if it had no clue that all life descended from a common ancestor, it would still be fact.
UCD no doubt serves as a comforting bedtime story for atheists, but medicine has no use for it.

I'm glad you see that it explains the Why.
But there are thousands upon thousands of species, and the DNA similarity is a great way to Save Time Looking -
likely several decades of wasted time. Like driving on mapped paved roads versus just driving off into the woods
and over any old river to get to your grandmother's house.

And you know this how? Can you cite any papers attesting to this indifference by medicine to the descent of life?
Do you have any reference or logic that even hints at this?
No, no, it's OK. We know you don't. Another one of your lies, Choir Boy.
