What exactly is ID?

Yea!! And punch him in the nose for not doing it the way you said he had to do it. Obviously your way is the right way 'cause a book said so. God be damned if he does something different.Before you start burning books can you please define "hard line evolutionist"? Is that much like those crazed militant gravitationalists or even more frightening the Cult of the germ theory of disease? Those folks really really believe in the evidence!

I am not quite sure I understand. It does seem a bit rash to suddenly start writing evolution textbooks so I must assume you intend some other method of income related to biology?You can make more money selling creationism, but I assume given your declaration of immediate conversion you hold honesty as an important condition?Do you then, honestly, believe that God has to have done what you say he had to do? Given the evidence suggests differently why then do you support atheism instead of just disliking God? I can think of a few people I dislike but I am not atheist about their existence. If you do simply decide to dislike God you cannot claim to be Atheist, angry Christian perhaps, but not atheist.Personally I find your tenuous belief to be sad. I thought only atheists had such a lack of faith in a creator. To be on the edge of a complete conversion must be slightly unsettling?

No no, what I mean is why would God cease to exist simply because your wrong? That makes no sense. Your version or interpretation may be incorrect. It fails to follow that if the Bible is wrong God cannot exist. Just the God you say has to have done things exactly as you say doesn't exist. I would hazzard a guess and say none? Atheists have no faith, thats kinda the point. But you are! Your one piece of evidence away from a total conversion, you even said so. I cannot comprehend how one peice of evidence can literally kill God, poof!! Not a different God than you imagined He was, but actually no God.

Smooth Operator in message 102This type of claim seems provable, is it not? Sequence of an ancestor and current of any given species and a genetic loss should be apparent. The larger the gap from ancestor to present species should reveal a larger genetic loss. This sounds like a simple case of adding up the "bits" and Genetic Entropy becomes quite obvious.

On the 649th post of this thread you refer to a link that may or may not be on this thread. Message 115. The link does not appear to be what you claim it to be however, why exactly do you think this paper has any impact at all on evolution?Sadly, even if you had actually shown this to be true, it doesn't even address what I posted. Nor does it even resemble a passing similarity to statement you made, and I quoted, that shows this. Either you didn't bother to read my post that invited you to prove to the world that evolution is wrong via basic math or you cannot provide said evidence.So how about it? Do you have any data to support your claim that we can count the loss of, I believe the claim was, base pairs? I have never claimed to know much about genetics but I can subtract with some success.

No, that is not what the article says. "consequently, Ne tends to decline" - I realize you missed that part but you missed it again when Wounded King explained what the article actually says, better than I could, above on this very thread. Please read more carefully.***ABE: I just noticed that with PaulK you indicate a decrease in size shows genetic entropy, but you quote an article and argue with me that an increase in size produces "slightly deleterious mutations" and that is an indicator of genetic entropy.So do you swing both ways or is there something else afoot? I will if you will. Did you miss the whole point of my post yet again? That is twice now. Are you simply not reading very carefully or are you avoiding it because you cannot support your claim? I bet you can avoid it once again by not even making it this far into the post.Edited by Vacate, : Whats size got to do with it?Edited by Vacate, : Fixed title
