But they don't. Why not? Because they reject the science that they need to produce anything useful.

You've strawmaning. Your questions have nothing to do with whether or not the theory of u.common descent has proven useful in medicine.

Please provide an example of how the theory of universal common descent has proven useful in medicine.

Re: Dredge thinks not knowing everything is not knowing anything
Well, if you really want to know, the ASK SOMEBODY WITH THAT DEGREE OF KNOWLEDGE, LIKE A MEDICAL RESEARCHER!
If you wanted to know something about computer programming, then you'd ask a programmer. If you wanted to know something about Catholic theology, then you'd ask a Catholic priest or theologian. If you wanted to know about some point of the law, then you'd ask a lawyer. If you wanted to know something about chip manufacturing, then you'd ask a chip manufacturer. If you wanted to know something about the inner workings of a particular car engine (especially regarding settings), then you'd ask a car mechanic, preferably one with experience with that kind of engine.
If you really want to know something, you would ask the people who are expert in that subject. Pestering people repeatedly with the same idiotic bullshit question will not yield your answer, but rather will only serve your chosen purpose of being a fucking stupid troll.
If you actually want to know the answer, then ask the professionals. If you don't, then shut the fuck up!
Fucking evil troll!

Easy, all the mammals that are used to model human medical conditions, rather than fish or mollusks, because they are quite obviously more closely related to humans. No one tried using insulin or thyroids from other mammals to treat human diseases before they knew we are related.

Re: Dredge thinks not knowing everything is not knowing anything
You need to learn what the term strawman means.

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?

Even the village idiot would expect non-human mammals to more closely model human conditions than mollusks or fish.
You don't need the theory of UCD to figure out that mammals are "more closely related to humans" physiologically than mollusks or fish.
No one tried using insulin or thyroids from other mammals to treat human diseases before they knew we are related.
How do you know what they tried? They probably experimented with lots of different mammals before simply choosing those that worked best ... trial and error ... nothing to do with the theory of UCD.

Re: Dredge thinks not knowing everything is not knowing anything
Sounds like I can safely assume that you yourself can't provide an example of how the theory of universal common descent has proven useful in medicine.
I thought you were an expert on evolution ...

You are delusional, so I can understand your confusion.

You mistakenly think that your endlessly repeated inane questions are some sort of super-powerful rebuttal, meanwhile we have museums and libraries full of supporting evidence and you have a fictional book written by a bunch of bronze age Jewish goat herders.

The only thing wrong with my questions is that you can't answer them. Why haven't creationists come up with any useful medical results?
