I gave you that way, way, way, way back: Cow and pig insulin. It wasn't a creationist who thought of that. Somebody who knew about UCD said, "Hmm... maybe we can get a donations from our cousins the cows and pigs."
Your quaint story is a fine example of Darwinoid delusion and fake history.
Please cite a scientific paper that says the use of cow and pig insulin for humans would not have been possible without the theory of UCD.
Good luck with that ... LOL!!

None needed here. It's common sense.

Your opinion per se is as meaningless as saying, "No need to cite a scientific paper that says the moon is made of cheese. It's common sense."

Re: UCD evidence
Trolling in this instance has nothing to do with fishing. It is the act of being a troll. But this little aside is just more evidence that you are a troll.
quote:
In slang, a troll is a person who posts or makes inflammatory, insincere, digressive,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages online (such as in social media, a newsgroup, a forum, a chat room, a online video game), or in real life, with the intent of provoking others into displaying emotional responses,[2] or manipulating others' perception. The behavior is typically for the troll's amusement, or to achieve a specific result such as disrupting a rival's online activities or purposefully causing confusion or harm to other users online.[3]
Troll - Wikipedia(slang)

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 evidence
Dredge writes:
Research based on the theory of UCD that results in no practical benefit means the theory of UCD is actually useful?
That's what I said.
I gave an example in the message you quoted: We tried prayer and got nothing but negative results, so we learned not to waste any more time on it.
Dredge writes:
A teaspoon is useful for playing golf bcoz we tried it and got only negative results?
Certainly. Knowing that a teaspoon is not useful in golf is useful knowledge.
By trying a teaspoon in golf, we learned not to waste any more time on it. If we all had your disdain for negative results, every golfer would be carrying a bag ful of teasppons.

The issue is Dredge's intelligence. Surely he is an independent thinker, one would assume.
One - i.e. you - would be wrong. Dredge is a non-thinker. He even admits to being an idiot.
Phat writes:
I start out by assuming that anyone in this forum who stays around more than a month has basic intelligence.
Another wrong assumption. Intelligence can be defined in simplest terms as the ability to learn. Creationists do not have that.
Phat writes:
To be fair, I am still reading back through the topic, however.
Dredge said in Message 111, "my IQ is less than 10".

You contradict yourself. You once called me "retarded" but I'm pretty quick on the draw.

​As others have pointed out to you, we don't have a lot of scientific papers saying that the earth is round or that elephants are big.
Now you go ahead and explain why creationists didn't think of it.

If you were honest, you would admit that you're too stupid to comment on evolution at all. Ergo, you are not honest.

An idiot can comment on evolution coz evolution is idiot science.
Ergo
Gee, you must be so brainy - you said "ergo" instead of "therefore". Impressive!
As for me, I'm way too dumb to use pretentious Latin words.

Non sequitur. An idiot "can" comment on anything but his comments are always going to be idiotic.
Dredge writes:

Make up your mind. Am I brainy or retarded? If I'm brainy, maybe you can learn something from me - if you're capable of learning.
Dredge writes:

There you go again. If you're too dumb to use Latin words. you're too dumb to assess evolution.
And by the way, "ergo" was originally a Latin word. It is now a legitimate English word. It's in all the dictionaries.
(And also by the way, "ergo" is actually a smaller word than "therefore".)
