wd400- How many papers are published tat support evolutionism?

And just where is unguided evolutionary biology? Evolutionary biologists can’t even answer any questions pertaining to how biological systems and subsystems evolved. Natural selection can’t even be modeled. Unguided evolution is a useless heuristic.

So here we are, with a useless heuristic and no answers. Nicely done.


The punctuation and a mistyped tat are just too familiar to ignore.

I agree, but interacting with Joe is like picking at a scab. You know you shouldn't do it but occasionally you give into the urge. And then you regret it.

Poor ronery Joe. Even when he finds himself allowed back at TSZ he finds all his comments (18 in the last few days) have been moved to guano.
So ronery...

I wonder the same about Gaulin- and Monsieur ID-respondents here.

And look at this thread! Partly the art of the successful troll - I'll give Joey that much - and partly amusement.

Not sure he's any more a waste of time than 'fifth' or Erik though.

Fifth is a loon and a crank. He doesn't even understand 9th grade math.

Eric seems to have some sort of legitimate academic perspective, although I find it so boring that I quit reading.

Ten years since Dover and undirected evolution still has nothing. It can't be modeled and offers no testable hypotheses.

All someone needs to do is pay a Dover school teacher to defy Jones and we can have it, again. Maybe this time we will get a judge who actually listens to the evidence and is not fooled by evoTARD lies and deception.

All animals are using/doing naturen to live, thus, they are animals.

Humans have instincts and intelligence.
Crows have instincts and NO intelligence.
Likewise for other animals - no intelligence.

That is the reason why you should differentiate if instinct and intelligence are the same or not since you are dis-agreeing with me...

False.  
You have not shown that crows operate solely by instinct and lack intelligence.  

The following are clear instances of learning and reasoning by any rational definition.  If we landed a probe on a distant planet and saw an alien doing these behaviors, there would be no question that we were seeing intelligent behavior.

Your sole objection is that you want a sharp dividing line to exist between humans and other animals, and you are determined to invent jargon and play word games in order to make a gradation look like a dichotomy.

I've watched and read all the links:

My goodness! That is not intelligence but only "instinct"! Maybe you will be surprised on how birds make their nests! You would probably call it "SUPERBIRD, HALLELUJAH!" Read my science book and see that you are totally wrong about intelligence...

Thank you for taking the time to watch the clips.
Note that I did not talk about nest building at all.

No reasonable definition of "instinct" covers the behaviors in those clips.  The ONLY way you can dismiss those as instinct is to be committed a priori to conclusions that make it impossible to do a rational analysis of the evidence.  Instinctive behavior means behavior that is preprogrammed, inherited, genetically hard-wired, and inflexible, and these behaviours are none of that.  They are clearly learned (and your use of "instinctive learning" is a monumentally stupid self-contradiction).  Even if we use your exceedingly silly and problematic idea of "it's instinctive if there are fewer than 1 (or 1.5) solutions per problem", tool use by crows clearly allows multiple solutions per problem.

It is not clear that you have in fact shown any actual empirical evidence.

My goodness,

you need to be very careful in explaining reality since if you got a mistake and people died for that mistake, you cannot help them anymore... you cannot undo!

Now, as I said that I've opened all of your links but oh my goodness, even the bodily parts of every animals could be used as tools!

Now, if an animals used sticks or stones as tools, they used them since that are their instincts...some they did, some they don't..

but look at these pics from Google..do you think that these nests are products of intelligent agents like birds? They also used tools and used materials to build the nests!

https://www.google.co.jp/search?....h2LRgkE

Bird nests are largely instinctive and are not built with tools.  We know that they are largely instinctive because all birds build nests without learning how to do it, and nest style relates to genetic inheritance.  Bird nests are without doubt intricate and amazing, which is one of many reasons I said that bird instincts are sophisticated and can result in truly impressive behavior.

Also, no, by definition body parts don't count as tools unless they've been detached from the owner and are being used by somebody else.

Nonetheless, what I did show you are examples of learned behaviors, involving creating solutions to problems by using planning, reasoning, and symbolic thought.  Those are not instinctive behaviors by any rational definition of the term (therefore excluding your bizarre redefinition).

Saying something is "instinctive" is just another way of saying "we have no idea how they do it"

Note that I did not talk about nest building at all.

No reasonable definition of "instinct" covers the behaviors in those clips.  The ONLY way you can dismiss those as instinct is to be committed a priori to conclusions that make it impossible to do a rational analysis of the evidence.  Instinctive behavior means behavior that is preprogrammed, inherited, genetically hard-wired, and inflexible, and these behaviours are none of that.  They are clearly learned (and your use of "instinctive learning" is a monumentally stupid self-contradiction).  Even if we use your exceedingly silly and problematic idea of "it's instinctive if there are fewer than 1 (or 1.5) solutions per problem", tool use by crows clearly allows multiple solutions per problem.

It is not clear that you have in fact shown any actual empirical evidence.

My goodness,

you need to be very careful in explaining reality since if you got a mistake and people died for that mistake, you cannot help them anymore... you cannot undo!

Now, as I said that I've opened all of your links but oh my goodness, even the bodily parts of every animals could be used as tools!

Now, if an animals used sticks or stones as tools, they used them since that are their instincts...some they did, some they don't..

but look at these pics from Google..do you think that these nests are products of intelligent agents like birds? They also used tools and used materials to build the nests!

Bird nests are largely instinctive and are not built with tools.  We know that they are largely instinctive because all birds build nests without learning how to do it, and nest style relates to genetic inheritance.  Bird nests are without doubt intricate and amazing, which is one of many reasons I said that bird instincts are sophisticated and can result in truly impressive behavior.

Also, no, by definition body parts don't count as tools unless they've been detached from the owner and are being used by somebody else.

Nonetheless, what I did show you are examples of learned behaviors, involving creating solutions to problems by using planning, reasoning, and symbolic thought.  Those are not instinctive behaviors by any rational definition of the term (therefore excluding your bizarre redefinition).

Saying something is "instinctive" is just another way of saying "we have no idea how they do it"

Shouldn't you be saying that to Edgar Postrado?

And I'm curious, YEC joey, do you believe that there's no such thing as instinct?

I am curious, child molesting TWiT, who cares what you post?

Joey just lost another sock puppet on my blog. He just cannot be polite for any length of time or refrain from using his stock phrases that he's so proud of.

Well Kevin, you just proved that you are a piece-of-shit coward. As if we needed more proof of that.

Are you on your way to Portland yet, YEC crybaby joey? LMAO!

But YOU are a proven sniveling coward and pathological liar.

I was in Portland and you were a no-show. Loser.

All animals are using/doing naturen to live, thus, they are animals.

Humans are using/doing intellen, thus, they are not already categorized as animals. but intelligent beings or IA.

Humans have instincts and intelligence.
Crows have instincts and NO intelligence.
Likewise for other animals - no intelligence.

That is the reason why you should differentiate if instinct and intelligence are the same or not since you are dis-agreeing with me...

False.  
You have not shown that crows operate solely by instinct and lack intelligence.  

The following are clear instances of learning and reasoning by any rational definition.  If we landed a probe on a distant planet and saw an alien doing these behaviors, there would be no question that we were seeing intelligent behavior.

Your sole objection is that you want a sharp dividing line to exist between humans and other animals, and you are determined to invent jargon and play word games in order to make a gradation look like a dichotomy.

I've watched and read all the links:
