Speaking of not answering questions, here's one you've ignored twice: how do you feel about Davison's belief that God has died?

What's the point? Has the question anything to do with darwinism and origin of mammalian orders?

It sure does since for JAD, the ~~adaptive~~ prescribed radiation of mammals is an evidence for God's death.
No kidding.
But we should be the ones asking you the question : how does the radiation of mammals support your view? It's unclear. Is it for the same reason as JAD's (God's death)?

Once the Earth was created there is no need to create it again and again, don't you think? �The same for mammalian Orders - the forces that led to mammalian diversification are not active any more. The evolution is finished. The nature of the forces that led to mammalian diversification is unknown nowadays. Yet they obviously have nothing to do with random mutation and natural selection as darwinists claim. �If they had there would have been no reason why there didn't arise any new mammalian order after Eocene. Because random mutation and natural selection operate according darwinism permanently there should have been evolved some new mammalian orders at least. But they didn't.

Maybe it was prescribed evolutionary process via saltationism, maybe some spiritual forces were taken place and maybe both of them.

John Davison's view as far as I know is that evolution is finished with it's terminal product homo sapiens.

I fully agree.

I will not discuss theological problems with atheists like you. It is wasting time and off topic.

Why are you afraid to answer the question, V?

Since you seem to routinely attack 'Darwinists' for their atheism, it seems to me that a bizarre theological statement like Davison's should be quite relevant.

If you don't want to discuss 'theological problems' with Darwinists, then you have no right to bitch about Darwinists being atheists.

So, V, try again.

Also, don't ignore these questions, either:

So, what are transitional fossils then?

If you have no experiments that show such that your position is correct why do you adhere to it?

I thought that species were assigned to an order because of the comparatively large amount of difference between them and those put into other orders. That large amount of difference would be expected to take a large amount of time to evolve from their common ancestor.

VMartin, how do you test your hypothesis?

Because natural selection is constantly observed, and its role in speciation is essential, but I am not aware of huh... how would you describe it?

Natural selection is anti-evolutionary device which only removes extremities from extant species. Its role is conservative.

Otherwise "natural selection" is somehow frozen as well. How would you describe the fact that no mammalian order evolved more than 50 mil. years? Is it really possible that in such huge scale of time with K/T extinction there were really no emptied niches where new mammalian order could evolve?

Hey, If front loading is true, shouldn't early life have more, erm, *cough* CSI than the later stuff?

Also, how did front loading know about the suggested meteorite strike 251 million years ago? Was the meteorite intelligently thrown?

Am afraid the evidence indicates otherwise. Have you read science lately, or any paper dealing with evolution?

I think you're onto something. I heard that no new empire (bacteria, archea...) appeared in the last billion of years. Sure it means that natural selection has stopped since then.
Joke aside, adpative radiations have occured frequently when some taxa indaved new habitats. We basically now how they work and most of the time they are correlated with peculiar ecological conditions.
Why no new mammalian order appear in the last 50 Myears? No one knows. Does it prove that evolution has stopped? It doesn't since evolution is currently observed. It's not a requirement for the theory to make new mammalian orders appear every Myear.

But I would like to know more precisely about your hypothesis and how you would test (and falsify) it.

Don't be afraid of going off-topic. It's okay, Steve is quite forgiving about that kind of thing.

My guess would be that any split occurring since then wouldn't have had time to develop the amount of difference that we associate with orders.

Probably not, since in the fossil record, most of the orders diversified in only a few million years, unless I'm mistaken.

VMartin,

You may not realise this, but the idea of a forum is to exchange ideas, for example by posing and answering questions. It can be quite enlightening if you let yourself get into the spirit of things...

There might have been many independent creations and no common ancestor. I am not sure that sponge and a human has anything common. Their evolutionary ancestors might have been created independently and so no common ancestor of them ever existed.

And the earth might actually be three hours old, I'm sticking with the most parsimonious explanation.

Quote

It is often the case that new organisms showed up "abruptly" without predecessors. The origination of mammalian orders seems to be such a case. Then the evolution slows down and no new "body plan" evolves.

Are you basing that on anything other than an incomplete fossil record?

Quote

In such cases we can presume that an ancestor bear all genetic setup for further evolution. Subsequent evolution only unfolds front-loaded dispositions.

In what form was the information stored before it was unfolded? What stopped it being degraded by mutation before it was used? What signals caused the information to be unfolded? What mechanisms recognised the signals and caused the unfolding of information? How do these mecahnisms explain large changes caused by both large scale rearrangements and single point mutations? Answer those questions and I'll take that theory seriously.

Quote

Btw - can you explain me your position? I suppose that also according darwinism life could arose many times in different places too. So maybe according darwinism sponge and human may have no common ancestor either?

Im not sure what you mean by Darwinism here. The modern theory of evolution says that sponge and human do share a common ancestor.

O.K. I believe you - unless you have provoked me. You do not comprehend Davison opinion on the matter. �John Davison opinion is this one:

...It was a rhetorical trick on my part to claim that God or Gods are dead because that is impossible to ascertain with certainty as someone promptly reminded me. I agree.

My point WAS then, and still is NOW, that there is no need for a living God within the postulates of the Prescribed Evolutionary Hypothesis. The scientist cannot assume the existence of that which cannot be demonstrated. However he can be convinced of such a prior existence which is exactly what the PEH maintains...

I quoted these words from ISCID where everyone can find them, post June 5th 2007:

http://www.iscid.org/boards/ubb-get_topic-f-6-t-000548-p-14.html

So his claim is different as you thought. He used such words �only as "rhetorical trick". Consequently your question is not expressing the real John's opinion. You should formulate it differently at least.
