Hey, 'VMartin', you never said whether you agree with Kazmer Ujvarosy's following statements:

Quote
To come to the point, whereas the evolutionist speculation fails to meet the basic demand of science that an explanation must be based on observable evidence capable of being touched or tested, the theory of creation from Christ's body satisfies that rational requirement. After all neither Darwin's natural selection nor his imaginary simple beginning or common ancestor is observable and capable of being touched or tested. In contrast Christ, the actual Creator of the universe, made himself available for observation, and was being touched and tested. What is more, he made the prediction that in due time he's going to live with us again.

Now, if evolutionists keep insisting that Christ is not the Creator or universal common ancestor of the cosmic system, we should demand from them to make available their natural selection and common ancestor for observation, touching, and experiments.

To conclude, when next time Eugenie Scott and similarly deluded evolutionists parrot the bold-faced lie that we have no scientific theory of creation, remember to remind them that it is in the Bible. In reality the theory that Christ constitutes the seed of the universe, or the genotype of the phenotype universe, is incomparably more scientific and fact-based then the alternative explanations invented by evolutionist biologists and cosmologists. It identifies Christ as the seed of the universe, and human beings as Christ's reproductions. Because Christ is our universal common ancestor, and because he got in touch with us, and promised to live with us in the future, Darwin's imaginary common ancestor is a parody of Christ.


Except for all the Jesus bothering, he sounds just like you. Are you sure you're not him?

I am not the one who claimed that transitional fossil exist. I am also not the one who claimed that there exist a trasitional particle between electrone and positrone. So why should I even try to define such a transitional particle (transitional fossil)?

Because you (and JAD) are the ones trying to support his goofy 'manifesto' claims.  The burden of proof is on you to define your terms and provide your positive evidence, not me.

It's obvious you can't provide any support at all for his brain damaged ideas about 'no transitionals' and 'no new information', and are just doing the standard semantic soft-shoe and evading the questions.  In fact, the 'manifesto' claims are so vacuous that he/you can't even define the terms you are using. :D

JAD's just another harmless crackpot stringing together sciency-sounding buzzwords that mean absolutely nothing unless they are defined.  Only an idiot would latch on to such unsupported garbage.  Just like you have done.

Dude, you're a sockpuppet.  Nobody who was for "real" would call themselves a moron!!

That's be like somebody coming right out and calling themselves a pinhead!!

As to the "new information" - I gave you example that information can be in a text if you read the text backwards. The question  How would you recognize 'new information' in a text if you saw it? has no sense. You and I see the TEXT - not information.  The text I  may underestand but you may not (or vice versa). I would say  the same process we may find in genome. Information written in DNA is the function of "reading frame" - each different reading frame read different information. I have read that in some cases information in a gene is overlappinig. Reading and underestanding of what has beed coded is what matters. For instance you do not underestand Magyar and let say you have a magyar book. Do you think that information is there or not? I suppose that to decide such a question would require to learn Magyar first. Observer (reading frame) is for recognising of information crucial.

VMartin,

do you know that only prokaryotes use frame shifts? Eukaryotes do not.

Is this behavioral difference encoded in DNA or is it not?

Quote (VMartin @ Dec. 08 2006,11:03)
Summary - I dont know what does it mean to "see information" in genome as much as I do not know what does it mean to "smell information" in genome. You might be probably aware that DNA is not information - DNA is only bearer, carrier of information and not the information itself.


Could you be more specific here? Is it like Richard Dawkins making a distinction between DNA molecules and DNA patterms?

Re "do you know that only prokaryotes use frame shifts?"

Really? If that means what I think it means, that's just... weird. Does that really mean that in bacteria the reading of the gene might start at any base pair, even if two genes start at positions that aren't separated by a multiple of three?

Is this guy the eastern european version of AFDave?

He keeps touting Davison's "manifesto", but hints suggest he thinks in terms of "frontloading", which really isn't the point of Davison's idiotic PEH, strictly.

so what of it, Slopey?  Do you really understand what JAD is blathering about?  do you think it really is all about frontloading (make that pantloading)?

why do you think Davison himself has NEVER been able to make one, single, testable prediction based on his "manifesto", eh?

the reason he gets repeatedly banned from sites, is because after the first few posts he makes, he just endlessly repeats himself, getting ever more obtuse and rude in the process, as he fails to realize he is repeating himself and saying nothing of substance in the process.

are you really as clinically insane as Davison, Slopey?

Thats right. There is documented case where reading frame is shifted only by 1 nucleotide to obtain different outcome and then again by 1 nucleotide to obtain another different outcome! It was observed in bacterial virus sigmaX184.
All three results of the reading are fully functional!

1. ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC
2. (A) BCA BCA BCA BCA BCA BCA
3.  (AB)C CAB CAB CAB CAB CAB...

So you see that exegese or interpreation or hetmeneutic
is what is important. Even if someignorants here insist
that I am evading the "simple" question how would I "see" new infrormation in genome (???).

That's right -  you're still cowardly evading the simple questions about JAD's manifesto.  Since you are now using semantics an an excuse, I'll reword them and add clarification:

What is your definition of a transitional fossil?   Is it different from the one accepted by the scientific community? If so, how?

How would you decide or not if a fossil belonged to a transitional series?

What is your definition of information as it applies to biological structures such as a genome?  Is it merely the determination of the genetic sequence as proposed by Crick?  If not, how is it different?

What is your definition of 'new information', and how do you determine if the 'information' in a genome is 'new' or not?  

They're still simple questions, and you're still cowardly avoiding them.

Should we assume that you think JAD's nonsense is indefensible, but your ego is too big to admit you backed a fool?

Well, but bacteria do not interpret their genome at will, so what's your point?

Of course, on its own, a genome means nothing, it carries no information (except the information about its particular sequence of base pairs), so where do the interpretative rules reside?

So your opinion seems to be correct - information is non-material and as a such we cannot see it (Shaved Occam is incapable to underestand this and he hunts me with his stupid question how would I "see" new information).

I would say that interpretative rules reside in the organism as a whole or more specifically at the beginning in zygote. Without zygote is interpetation impossible. My opinion is that DNA is not enough to create life - even if we would have complete DNA from marsupial wolf we would never recreate one without its zygote - which we do not have.

Anyway Davison observation that development of gonads in different species seems to be unexplainable from common ancestor is interesting.
It would mean that zygotes between species differ more
than darwinists believe.

by this time, i would have at least expected you to do a google on it and spew out something that sounded at least plausible.

here's a hint for you:

mimicry is the same problem for evolutionary theory that aposematic coloration is.

c'mon slopey!  that's what you came here for wasn't it?  to argue that mimicry disproves the ToE?

I thought of that too -- especially since ROB takes a great deal of adolescent pride in being able to post in places where he's unwanted or outright banned. But the language doesn't really indicate it's him, and the emphasis on discussion of science (barmy as it is), is also out of character for him. ROB's specialty is more pretentious insulting of people who aren't as religious or rightwing as him. Still, it's not impossible.

You want to hear something about Batesian mimicry boys? So Nabokov ridicules darwinistic logic behind the phenomenon by these words - enjoy:    

 
Quote

...pursuing this goal consciously, having conferred beforehand with the model and determined that the latter, during the full number of centuries required by the toiler at evolution toward a gradual attainment of resemblance, would remain unchanged (in the kind immobility that a painter demands of his model).

The process would accelerate further if the model just as consciously indulged the imitator by mutating part way in proportion to the mime's mutations, or if the very goal of the imitator were to change concomitantly with the evolutionary metamorphoses of the model, in the same way a painter, having begun a nude of a young female model, might strive for a likeness with such ardor that, as he tirelessly recorded every trait, he would, in the end, find that he was depicting the old woman into which the model had evolved during her plurennial pose.

Yet the concept of evolution in no way presupposes either the existence of a conscious and focused will within a developing creature, or a coordination of actions between two creatures or between a creature and its environment.

As for the presumption that nature mesmerizes subjects selected for mimetic study, influencing them to perform specific roles, that notion must be relegated to fantasy, for where are the anchor points for the cobweb of hypnosis?

The same variations that might result from a blind struggle for survival, no matter how credible their results may appear … endlessly retard the putative course of a given evolutionary process, for it is here that the element of happenstance reappears. (Nabokov's Butterflies 225)


Be sure Nabokov was an expert - he also supposed that patterns on wing cells are independent of each other what was ridiculed at his time. Yet new research approved his concept (see Nijhout).

Yo, you complete self-annointed moron (since, leave us not forget, that's what rigorous application of Vmartin's "key-within-the-text" as applied to the text of Vmartin's self-selected screen-name led us to), Nabakov qualifies at most as a distinquished lay "expert" in butterfly--a high-level hobbyist.

His true expertise was literature.  As a butterfly hobbyist, he may have been superb at identification and collection.  As an evolutionary biologist, he has no credentials whatsoever.

Natural selection coordinates the environment with the creature and natural selection coordinates one creature with another.  End of that story.

There is nothing "happenstance" about natural selection.  Go step off a precipice and then come back to report whether there was anything "happenstance" about your demise and your failure to contribute further to the gene pool.  

The remarkably productive field of evo-devo spells doom for arguments as repetitively moronic as your own.  Further "contributions" from you, or from your proxies, Nabokov and Davison, should simply be ignored.  They afford no learning opportunities, even for fence-sitting lurkers, because they lack any utile coherence whatsoever.

I suppose that fact of missing links is accepted - it were Eldredge and Jay Gould who wanted to solve the problem by "punctuated equilibrium".

So either are correct Creationists or Davison who represent tradition of Nomogenesis and macroevolutionary saltationism.

My opinion is - and its thanks Davisons Manifesto -
that evolution is a fact. But it WAS driven by forces we are not aware of. Forces that probably are not in effect nowadays. I do not believe with Davison in random mutation and natural selection as forces behind evolution of mankind.

I agree with great Russian philosopher S.Bulgakov that evolution is driven by inteligentsia and in some point of development man obtained spirit. Spirit present itself in language.

Language and speech of mankind cannot evolve by random mutation and natural selection too. It is also  Noam Chomsky opinion.

Except for all the Jesus bothering, he sounds just like you. Are you sure you're not him?

How about an answer, 'VMartin'? Is 'Darwin's imaginary common ancestor is a parody of Christ'? Is it a bad thing 'if evolutionists keep insisting that Christ is not the Creator or universal common ancestor of the cosmic system'? Does 'the theory of creation from Christ's body' satisfy 'rational requirements'?

Do tell.

does not distinguish between batesian and mullerian mimicry, nor does it actually go into anything actually resembling science.

I gave you all the hints necessary to track the issue back to after Fisher introduced his model, so you could see what came after that fully explained the evolution of mimicry, but no, you are too addled to even recall your basic training on the theories any more.

the mere fact that you think the quote above deals conceptually or scientifically with the issue of mimicry simply further indicates your degrading mental status.

get help.

really.

btw, Nabakov's dithering on this subject is no more informed than Nietsche's ditherings on malthus and evolution.

aren't you proud to be promulgating such drivel?

as to this:

My opinion is - and its thanks Davisons Manifesto -
that evolution is a fact. But it WAS driven by forces we are not aware of. Forces that probably are not in effect nowadays. I do not believe with Davison in random mutation and natural selection as forces behind evolution of mankind.

you have a lot of work to do to show how ALL of these peer reviewed articles (the ones not dealing with fossils, anyway) are NOT evidence of current evolution (and those are but a very small subset of all the recent articles out there on the subject).

you're brain dead.  hasn't anybody told you that zombies belong in "b" movies, at best?

If Vmartin's moronicity is any example of the level of "discussion" we would be inviting via JAD's return, then on the underlying question, my vote is NAY.

How do you like chomping on THOSE horseapples?
