Re: dishonesty is not a good look
No, you didn't. All you did was assert.

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?

You might want to learn the definitions of words. I did not state an opinion. It was an observation based upon empirical evidence.

Finding a tree pattern does not prove relationship even.
Finding a tree pattern is exactly what we should see if life is related. We see a tree pattern. Therefore, that tree pattern is one of many pieces of evidence for relatedness.
Can you please show me the flaw in this logic?

You are so dense and biased, that you seem to think otherwise.

Why doesn't it prove beyond a reasonable doubt that life is related?

Re: dishonesty is not a good look
There are things that show tree patterns, but these things have not evolved by cumulating small and random changes.
So logic dictates that pattern does not prove evolution at all. I know you rather want to ignore logic and hold on to your false belief. But that is not how I roll.

Re: dishonesty is not a good look

All of science disagrees with you. And, of course, we know your intellectual blind spot due to your strong religious bias.
The facts are quite clear. You are quite wrong.
And you still cannot produce this "evidence" of violations of common ancestry and the nested hierarchy in any life system you so boldly insist you have.
Why?
We know why. Such does not exist.
As I said earlier, this was your put-up or shut-up moment, sensei. And as I predicted you are incapable of either.

Where is the evidence for this claim?
So logic dictates that pattern does not prove evolution at all. I know you rather want to ignore logic and hold on to your false belief. But that is not how I roll.
All you have is a claim without evidence. Your logic fails.

Re: dishonesty is not a good look
Hierarchical clustering is a known method, with many variations and distance metrics. All of them produce tree patterns for practically any set of data.
If you are under the illusion that life on earth is the only data that produces nesting, out of the countless of datasets that we have, you are more delusional than flat earthers.

Re: dishonesty is not a good look
Your opinion and false claims are not important.
Not to you, obviously. Your world doesn't deal in reality.
As Taq has said, your inability to substantively address the evidence is noted.

Re: dishonesty is not a good look
All you do is repeating the same useless argument that science agrees with you. You have nothing useful to add.

That's because science does agree with us. Reality is all there is and needs nothing added. The issue is that YOU cannot show anything otherwise despite your insistence the science is wrong.
