Abdulgaffar22: And are a dumbfuck theist who thinks their god designed a species of bird with corkscrew dicks while leaving 97% of bird species without one. The more dumbfucks like you talk the more you make your god out to be an insane being. Instead of letting me get to my point you get ahead of yourself and reveal your dishonesty. I was not going to be referring to acquired traits but your dumbass only knows nonsense apologetics and thought you were making a valid point. Dumbass this species has been studied to find out why they evolved. Dumbfuck theists like you see corkscrew penis and start jizzing all over your pants with out understanding what is going on. This suggests the Instruments of males and females have evolved to surpass each other in a kind of escalating arms race over which sex gets to control reproduction. Dumbfuck theist. |

@ LordReed Honestly, what you're bringing to counter my points has a serious devastating effect on your belief . See what Brennan said in your reference "Ducks wage genital warfare" "I became very GOOD at PREDICTING what the genital structure of one sex would look like by looking at the other sex first". If Brennan can GOODLY PREDICT how the genital structure of one sex would look like by merely looking at the other sex, then there must be a PERFECT CORRELATION between the male and female genital structures. Now can this perfect correlation exist by process of chance ? Can you continuously make good prediction about something that is base on chance ? If something is not by chance, then it must be intended. But intention can only exist in a mind. Yet according to your own world view, such mind does not exist . |

If ducks really wage genital warfare as the author declared, was it by process of CHANCE mutations in their DNA ? Yet there must be a warfare in their genotype (DNA )before such warfare can be reflected in their phenotype. So what other factors that can cause the genotype to change apart from CHANCE mutations if not INTENDED mutations ? |

Abdulgaffar22: Abdulgaffar22: You don't listen do you? How many time will you be told it is not chance? Evolution by natural selection is not chance. It means you either do not understand evolution by natural selection (and probably don't want to understand it) or you do understand it and are just being obtuse by a large factor. BTW what has recognising patterns got to do with it? Humans are good at recognising patterns so why is it anything of note to this discussion? Besides this is a person who has studied extensively how biology works so why is this a point? It is not chance and is not design, it is outcomes based on constraints. If you can't understand that I have no help for you. |
Re: Why All Atheists Must Change Their Minds Before It Is Too Late by Abdulgaffar22: 4:25am On Sep 30, 2019 |
LordReed: Please read carefully When identifying the cause of things in everyday life—an object, an event, a signal from space—there are only three possibilities: (1) Constraint, (2) Chance, or (3) Design. Everything exist either by constraint or by chance or by design. (1) Constraints/ Necessity /Coercion/ Compulsion To say that something is caused “by constraints or necessity” requires that it can happen in one and only one way. In other words, only one possible outcome exists, and that possible outcome must always occur. There is no any other alternative outcome that can compete with the only possible outcome. The following are all examples of "Constraints" ; (i)"Heads" come up while flipping a two-headed coin. (ii) 2 + 2 = 4. (iii) Water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit. (iv) Massive bodies exert a gravitational force according to a specific formula. (v) Sun rises in the east and set in the west. (vi) All living things will die In our universe, these events cannot have alternative outcomes. It is impossible for any other outcome to occur. (2) Chance/Luck/Accident/ Coincidence For something to be caused “by chance or accident” requires the event or outcome to be: (a) Contingent: There must be more than one possible outcome. (b) Plausible: There must be a reasonable probability of the outcome occurring “at random” or “by accident.” If the probability is exceedingly small, i.e. beyond plausibility, then “chance” is not an acceptable explanation. The following are all examples of "Chance"; (i) "six" come up while tossing a fair die (ii) falling of a leaf from a tree on a particular spot (iii) a beautiful pattern formed by the flock of birds flying in the air (3) Design In order to attribute something to design, the event or outcome must be: (a) Contingent: The must be more than one possible outcome. (b) Complex: A complex event is one that has an extremely low probability of occurring by chance, so low that we consider it implausible. (Example: Flipping "heads" 100 times in a row using a fair coin.) High complexity and low probability go together. (c) Specified: Something is “specified” if it conforms to a specific recognizable pattern, or has evidence of structure. Something specified is more than just a random pattern; it matches a distinctive pattern that we recognize. The following are all examples of "Design" ; (i) a written information found on a sheet of paper (ii) a sculpture of a man sitting on a horse (iii) a vehicle produced in an engineering company Here's a simple example of Constraints vs. chance vs. design; Let’s assume that you win the lottery. Depending on the circumstances, your "win" could be the result of Constraint, or chance, or design: Constraint : You were the ONLY PARTICIPANT in the lottery; thus, you had to win, by constraint or necessity. Only one possible outcome exists, and that possible outcome must always occur. There is no any other alternative outcome that can compete with the only possible outcome. Chance: There were MANY PARTICIPANTS, the lottery was conducted fairly, and you just happened to win at random by chance. Design: There were also many participants but your friends RIGGED the lottery so that you were chosen the winner by design. Now having understood the THREE causal possibilities, then the type of reproductive structures found in male and female ducks was caused by what ? Constraint or Chance or Design ? If it was by constraint, then ONLY THE TYPE of reproductive structures found in the ducks must exist on the earth. This is because if something exist by constraint, then as explained above using an illustration of a lottery, only one possible outcome must always exist. However, there are many other types of reproductive structures that exist on the earth. Therefore, the existence of ducks' reproductive structures was not caused by constraint or necessity as you claimed. Again, if it was by chance, then there should be NO PERFECT CORRELATION between the male and female ducks' reproductive structures. But such perfect correlation exist. Therefore, the creation of their reproductive structures was not by chance. Pls do you also have any logical explanation why they could not have been caused by design ? If you have, tender it as I have done with constraint and chance. After the elimination of "Constraint" and "Chance", the only option remain is "Design or Purpose" . And design or purpose can only exist in a MIND. But according to your own world view, such mind does not exist. 1 Like |

Abdulgaffar22: No, no, no. Constraints are a set of conditions not just a predefined outcome. Every time the conditions change a new outcome is determined. That is how speciation comes about, this is why even merely changing location is enough to allow speciation. 1 Like |

LordReed: So mere changes in the environmental condition caused the bacteria to evolve gradually, gradually and gradually into human being ? How does a change in environmental condition lead to evolution of completely new biological systems ? |
Re: Why All Atheists Must Change Their Minds Before It Is Too Late by LordReed(m): 12:16pm On Sep 30, 2019 |
Abdulgaffar22: The changes were not mere to the species that lived in those times. The changes where pretty drastic leading to extinctions in some cases. Also bacteria did not evolve gradually, gradually and gradually into human being. They evolved into many, many, many things way before humans even came on the scene. By the accumulation of many relatively small changes over time. |
Re: Why All Atheists Must Change Their Minds Before It Is Too Late by Abdulgaffar22: 3:58pm On Sep 30, 2019 |
LordReed: There is one important factor you have left behind; Genetic factor (i:e DNA sequence of the living organisms). The zygote of a goat species would only developed into a goat. The zygote of a lion species would only developed into a lion The zygote of an elephant species would only developed into an elephant This implies that zygotes of different animal species must have different DNA sequence. Therefore, before the evolutionists can proclaim that changes in the environmental condition lead to speciation, they have to explain how these environmental changes can affect the DNA SEQUENCE. Without changes in the DNA sequence, speciation can never occur. This changes in the DNA sequence is what the evolutionists called mutations. According to the evolutionists, these mutations are RANDOM AND CONSTANTS process. See; https://science.howstuffworks.com/life/evolution/evolution6.htm Therefore, being a random event, mutations can be harmful, neutral and beneficial. However, the evolutionists believed that it is the work of natural selection ( this is where the changes in environmental condition come into play) to keep the mutations that are beneficial while weeding out the harmful ones. So in their view, when these beneficial mutations accumulated enough, a new species would emerged. This is exactly how evolution works according to the evolutionists. From this little explanation, you can see that "natural selection ( determined by changes in environmental condition)" can only work AFTER "mutations" has finished its work. Yet mutations are RANDOM. This is the reason why some are harmful while some are neutral and beneficial. Therefore, proclaiming that existence of male and female ducks' reproductive structures were based on environmental constraints is nothing but sheer ignorance. If they cannot be created by CHANCE nor NECESSITY, then they have to be created by IINTELLIGENCE. |

Abdulgaffar22: An adaptation is only an adaptation if it can be passed onto offspring through genetic means. Height, then, could be an adaptation, but the ability to speak English is not. Organisms with helpful adaptations tend to live longer and reproduce more. If the environment of their progeny also makes those adaptations beneficial, the progeny will also reproduce more effectively, increasing the presence of a particular gene or set of genes in a species' gene pool. https://education.seattlepi.com/role-dna-play-adaptation-5720.html |

“There are a variety of mutations that can disturb the process of melanin synthesis and in all of those disorders, the melanocytes are normally distributed but the melanin they make is abnormal”, Professor Barsh said. One such color variant that may be the result of normal numbers of melanocytes producing abnormal melanin pigments is the “blonde” or “golden” zebra, a faded-out white zebra that occasionally pops up in Kenya and Tanzania. https://www.forbes.com/sites/grrlscientist/2019/09/26/rare-zebra-foal-with-polka-dots-spotted-in-kenya/

LordReed: According to theory of evolution, a very complex system came to exist little by little over millions of years through slight modifications. But this concept of gradual evolution can never work for the urinary system found in all vertebrates including human Even if we assume that kidney managed to be completely evolved in a single generation, it would still be useless if the pipe (i:e the ureter) through which the urine will exit the kidney is absent. This implies that both kidney and the ureter must came to exist together in a single generation. Similarly, urinary bladder without the urethra through which the urine will exit the bladder is also useless. Furthermore, an ejaculatory duct cannot just evolve without being linked perfectly with the urethra . Otherwise, semen would not be able to flow out from the penis during the time of ejaculation. Therefore, the urinary bladder, the urethra and the ejaculatory duct that linked perfectly with the urethra must also came to exist together in a single generation. See how simutaneous creation of the main parts of urinary system in a single generation completely nullify the theory of gradual evolution through slight modifications over millions of years. 1 Like 1 Share |

Abdulgaffar22: Why must the "simultaneous" development be in one generation? And who told you any of the systems developed full grown as you see them now? Like how many times will it be repeated that they develop from simpler forms to the more complex structures you see today? One path the development could have taken is a group of cells with a common opening, elongating till the mass of cells is at one end, the open at another and a duct joining them. Complexity then begins to develop in that state. See these documents that better explain it: https://drive.google.com/file/d/10s2s6LFKqH7wU_hd4aA4iNtTES8KMrKa/view?usp=drivesdk https://drive.google.com/file/d/10cCzGFbALx6aH5Vx62du5fG4TP7q7mC0/view?usp=drivesdk You have a very funny view of evolution like most people who refuse to understand it.

LordReed: This is a very simple matter to understand if you don't allow your prejudice to block your faculty of reasoning. Now reason along with me; Can a pumping machine be useful without a connecting pipe through which water drawn by the machine will pass ? Similarly, if kidney exist without the pipe ( the ureter) through which urine produce inside the kidney will EXIT the kidney, then what do you think is going to happen ? The urine will cause the kidney to SWELL and BURST. This implies that kidney and ureter must came to exist at the same time. Again, can a storage tank be useful if the inlet pipe through which water will ENTER the tank is absent and the outlet pipe through which water will EXIT the tank is also absent ? Similarly, if urinary bladder ( the storage tank) exist without the inlet pipe ( the ureter) through which urine will ENTER the bladder and without the outlet pipe (the urethra) through which urine will EXIT the bladder, then the urinary bladder is useless. This implies that the ureter, the urinary bladder and the urethra must also came to exist at the same time. 1 Like 1 Share |

LordReed: What exactly have you said that I have not listened to ? If you're very sure that kidney and ureter (or ureter, urinary bladder and urethra) did not come to exist at the same time, then explain how there individual existence can be possible. Better still, give us examples of living organisms that posses only one part of all these parts. 1 Like 1 Share |

Don't you think it is better to stay on a safer side (theism) than to stay on a dangerous side ( atheism).
