Any practical use for Universal Common Ancestor?

Do we really need to know that the world is round? If we thought it was flat, wouldn't we still have figured out how to get from A to B?

All you have is denial. No matter how anybody answers you, you'll just deny, deny, deny.

Scientists can decide for themselves whether or not something is useful to them. They don't need to take your misunderstanding into account.

Deny, deny, deny. You're the one who's evading the objective examples that you've been given. You can deny the truth until the cows come home. Your evasion won't have one iota of effect on the usefulness of the Universal Common Ancestor.

Do you have your fingers in your ears as you adjust your blindfold?

Read the OP: "I've been looking for a practical use in applied science for the information that all life on earth evolved from a microbe that existed billions of years ago...." It clearly is NOT about "microevolution of kinds", as you would call it.

When I had an internet connection at home, I was connected to the World Community Grid, which uses the idle time of members' computers to do tedious scientific calculations. They had mine doing protein folding.Proteins are large, complex molecules that can fold into various shapes (think Tinker-Toys). The parts that "stick out" determine how the protein interacts with its environment, so the different shapes that it can have are very important, particularly to medicine.We understand your difficulties with vision, so maybe you can't learn these things for yourself, but it's downright stupid of you to proclaim something "useless" when you haven't even bothered to understand it.

It's knowledge that dovetails neatly with the ToE.

That's what we keep telling you. Your denial is worthless.

That's what I said. But it doesn't need a practical use to be true.

Then why are you wasting time with this thread?

There are none that you will accept - but your acceptance is irrelevant. On the contrary, UCA is only one small part of ToE. You're saying the equivalent of, "Since there is no concrete use for the manufacturer's badge on a car, cars are useless." That's a very silly conclusion.

Message 25 "...scientists around the world are using the science of evolutionary biology to understand how life on our planet is reacting to a changing climate."You responded in Message 79 that, essentially, they could have figured that out anyway. Maybe so, but they DO use evolutionary biology.Your claim is the same as, "There is no use for a power saw; you can get the same result with a handsaw." That is not proof that power saws are useless.Edited by ringo, : Sp'ellinge.

Any practical use for a supernova or a black hole?

Maybe someday. But that would be like citing a possible someday cure for cancer as a use for UCA.It's a good thing we don't demand today uses for every scientific discovery. We'd still be running away from fire because it's burny-burny.
