uh-oh the highlight-to-nothing trick...you highlight something and hope that it looks like you are making a point. LOL!

They should be telling us what is UNUSUAL, not what is "not unusual". We want to know what SPECIAL things the coelacanth is doing differently from almost every other species, lol!

You can just see from the spin and double negatives that they are trying to be clever and obfuscate the argument.



What you are called obsession is known as "critical thinking". Try it, you may like it. It may even

if looking for articles that spot loopholes in evolution and opening threads about them is called "critical thinking", I'll pass.

Critical thinker, have you thought of what the true origin of species is yet? ...or you're too busy fighting evolution sad

Why are you preoccupied with deities? Next you'll be asking me "does that mean Germany will retain the World Cup?" Neither appears in the OP.

Germany and the world cup has nothing to do with an atheist's disbelief, which you try so hard to question.


What I have been interested in is why people DENY they have faith in science and follow it in a religious way.

okay, I have faith in science... Does that put you out of your misery.

Can't your read?

You don't need "unfavorable conditions" for RANDOM mutations.

You are confusing natural selection and mutation.

If you have mutations and no natural selection, then you would end up with the BIGGEST DIVERSITY of individuals, because natural selection is not culling the "weaker" ones. Instead, we have the opposite with the coelacanth.

Now, take you kindergarten explanation of evolution back to the drawing board and try to think it through.

They do not live in an environment that suggests unusual pressure to improve molecular mechanisms, such as DNA replication and repair, [size=16pt]resulting in a very low mutation rate.[/size]


That's why they seem to have changed only slightly.



and by the way,
the evolution theory has not been able to explain everything..that's why it's said to have gaps.
And you seem obsessed with those gaps yet you haven't brought a theory with less gaps.

It helps to demonstrate that most followers of the theory are RELIGIOUS.

Their belief in the HYPOTHESIS as being proven is based on FAITH.

This accounts for most atheists.


okay, they are religious and they have faith in science ...does that make their disbelief in deities wrong?

I'd already edited my post. Both you and the article were talking nonsense, lol.

LOL
Funny guy grin




You don't need "unfavorable conditions" for RANDOM mutations.

you seem to not understand the concept of natural selection.
You need unfavorable conditions for natural selection.

For example:
Mama sinequanon gives birth to twenty sinequanons.
Out of those twenty sinequanons, due to RANDOM MUTATION, 2 have thick fur, 16 have normal fur and 2 have light fur... If the climate of that region begins to get cold, and only the 2 with thick covering are able to survive, NATURAL SELECTION has just occurred and only the fittest survived the UNFAVORABLE CONDITION.




UNFAVORABLE CONDITIONS ARE NOT REQUIRED FOR RANDOM MUTATION TO TAKE PLACE. BUT NATURAL SELECTION, OCCURS IN UNFAVORABLE CONDITIONS, AS I HAVE SHOWN.



It seems to have proved to you that "evolution is wrong".


Evolution is wrong, okay, I agree... So what is right?

Religion / Re: Body Blow For The Theory Of Evolution by Longstride: 3:05pm On Dec 17, 2014

there was no unfavorable condition for it to be better adapted to, hence natural selection trickled down,

They do not live in an environment that suggests unusual pressure to improve molecular mechanisms, such as DNA replication and repair, resulting in a very low mutation rate


sinequanon says the two quotes above contradict eachother.


Yada yada yada ........This is a fallacy. The whole point is that the mutations are random. Their explanation does not say why beneficial mutations should be any less for coelacanths.


okay you're right, evolution is wrong. What does this prove?

He doesn't believe in the Bible god, but he believes in spirits, ask him how spirits created diversity.

Or better still he should create a better theory that can explain diversity. Let's see how the op would do that, without burrowing evolution concept. cheesy

I guess he's trying to stay somewhere between evolution and creation ... Cognitive dissonance.

It is a body blow, but I understand your panic about your underlying belief in god resurfacing.


I can't help you with your panic and preoccupation with god.


you seem to have a terrible misconception.

Evolution has nothing to do with my disbelief in gods
I did not believe in god long before I learnt of evolution.

If the theory of evolution crumbles to pieces ..the god belief will still be irrational.


An atheist is not necessarily an evolutionist.
I have friends that have little or no knowledge of science ...they still don't believe in god.

You think that the theory of evolution is a "refuge" for atheists and if it crumbles, they will run to church undecided
That's very illogical.

Enough of the red herrings! It is the coelacanth we are talking about.

Explain how a process of [size=16pt]RANDOM[/size] MUTATIONS can slow down to a trickle or stop for 400 million years.


even if I tell you that there was no unfavorable condition for it to be better adapted to, hence natural selection trickled down, you'll say I'm halfwit with infant biology skills..so let me not go there.
let's agree that evolution cannot explain that yet, that makes evolution wrong ..right?
Wait, I've got an idea shocked...it was created in twenty four hours along side all the diversity of animals... That's a better theory angry

I know how it must feel when someone calls you "fatty" ...
or when you see nice attires that won't fit your form ...
or when others are doing sports or dancing or frolicking but you can't because you lack the self esteem ..knowing you might look funny to some people or attract attention...
or when people mockingly advise you to exercise.

There are two paths.
You either remain like that... Consoling yourself everytime you're hurt ..even developing an emotional shield to stop what people say from affecting you, Accepting the fact that you're obese...even telling yourself stuff like "God made me this way ... I'm proud"

Denying the fact that you would be much more attractive and healthy-looking if you were fit, attracting better potential mates ...consoling yourself with stuff like
"real mates will like me for who I am inside ...not the physical".


Or you could save yourself the self-consolation, denial and possible depression....with a few months of hardwork and determination.

Nairaland / General / Re: 4 Ways Phone And Other Valuables Can Be Stolen This Christmas by Longstride: 9:11pm On Dec 15, 2014
3coins:
[b]after hearing stories of how my friends have had their phones and other valuables stolen this christmas season,i didnt really take it serious until yesterday when my phone was almost stolen from me that brings us to number 1

1. slowpoke Methodgrin : This was the method that was used on me yesterday
evening.i was on my way back from St. Augustine's carol around past 5..A guy just walked up to me and held me by my belt pretending to be an slowpoke....i elbowed his hands and he left me..i was almost walking away when i remembered that this is lagos grin ...i touched my pockets..my nokia phone was in one pocket,i touched the other pocket and my HTC was no where to be found cheesy. funny thing is,this guy didnt run..maybe he was depending on some sort of jazz or something..i just said to him, "give me my phone or i will shout ole " he handed me back my phone and i walked away


2. Gunpoint : self explanatory


3. i am from cameroon : this one was used on me last year and they failed woefully again..,i was on my way back from alaba,i just landed oshodi and was looking for a bus. one yeye guy walked up to me and said "please i am going to so so so place" i replied saying i dont know the place another guy came from no where and started urging me to help the guy...again,i told them i'll shout and they ran away.


4. this doesnt have a name...a guy will just walk up to you,give you a dirty slap and accuse you of stealing something from him...someone you have never met before..as this is happening, some other guys will join..they will take all your valuables still calling you a thief...they will beat you up, and humiliate you..na people go come dey beg for you like say you be thief


these are some of the possible ways you can be stolen from this xmas...stay safe people....stay away from rough areas like Bariga..merry christmas in advance[/b]

you didn't tell us when this one was used on you oh grin grin
