| Quote | | Simply he states that has clearly been proven in a peer reviewed paper by Behe that there is only a very remote possibility of gain of function therefore 0 possibility for it to be the cause of biodiversity. |
Behe's paper acknowledges that gain of function mutations (GOFs) happen. It claims they're rare compared to modification or loss of function mutations. Behe does not show or even argue that GOFs are too rare to explain biodiversity.
Anyone who argues "remote possibility therefore zero possibility" is either ignorant or disingenuous.
| Quote | To this lot a second group of people on the forum have asked for: (I) appearance of brand new genes that didn't previously exist in that organism and weren't somehow introduced from an outside source.
Further to (I) they asked that it would be good that these genes had a phenotypic effect. |
Then this second group is asking for proof of a nonsensical notion. Evolution doesn't work that way. It's like claiming there are cats and dogs, but to prove evolution we should produce a dat. |
| Quote | | Behe's paper doesn't say anything about whether those gain of function mutations involve novel genetic information. Are these people saying gain of function is the same as novel genetic info? |
No that's two destict requests, rather the first is a statement, they say gain of function is highly imporobable therefore how can evolution work see Behe proves it, if you don't agree with Behe you better show us a study that proves him wrong, that gain of FCT is more common.
The second request is: "you want to prove that bacteria turned into humans you're going to have to show us that new genetic info turns up at least somewhere along the line, since evolution according to you is still ongoing show us some examples of this new genetic stuff showing up, if you can't then the whole evolution thing colapses". |
oh yeah a study that proves Behe wrong....
What was it 42 days at Dover?
Behe the twit in the headlights. The git with the gaffs.
Exponding on palm readers and an imagined conversation with Le Grand Fromage Hisself.
Even Dembski didn't get in on the action he was summarily dismissed by the much vaunted ....I can't remeber now ....defense team during discovery by Babs Forrest.
Behe swore on a stack of 50 biology books he wasn't decended from no monkeys or apes or summit.
In any case after he was thoroughly sacked, he declared victory!
The circus had moved on by then, although the creationist clowns were still stuck under a collapsed big tent.
One day when they have stopped squirting each other with fake plastic flowers they will wake up.
Behe is no more relevant than a hoola hoop.
