DoctorAlien:
Borrow Google from your neighbor. Just type Ernst Mayr. After reading about him, type E. O. Wilson.

i ask again what are their contribution to science? Don't be petty

DoctorAlien:
Are you seriously asking what the contributions of Ernst Mayr and E. O. Wilson are to mainstream science? Since when did your Google stop working?

It is just stop now. What are their main contribution to science? AT least, you may learn from there.

DoctorAlien:
who are you? in comparison with Ernst Mayr, E. O. Wilson and others?

what are their contribution to mainstream science? Are they noble laurel holder or had they perform any experiment that is scientifically used till date.

Where did they do the lab tests to see the first organism arise from pond scum?

This does not discredit evolution. Evolution doesn't state The arrival of species but the evolving of species. Stop reading meaning out of nothing.

DoctorAlien:
If you're going to call Ernst Mayr and E. O. Wilson creationists, you're absolutely the only one with that opinion.

As for the fact that they recognized the distinction between historical and operational science, is it surprising? I mean a little walk into science makes this distinction obvious.

I repeat, science evidence and claims are both operational and historical. NOTHING separate the two. Every hypothetical or theoretical claim of scientist can be tested, observed, verify, documented, and measured.



Scientific finding are entirely emperical......



Any form of idealogy that created a biased and uninformed opinion about mainstream science is highly confused.

budaatum:
Aha! So you have history? Just goes to justify my "Peace" and "dust", I guess.

He once throw the same gabbage with me in olagbedu thread ( The name might not be correct) and I explained to him that the statement is nonsensical........

DoctorAlien:
But Ernst Mayr and E. O. Wilson whom I quoted were not creationists. Are you sure you read my post well?

but subscribe to the concept creationists ""created"" and hence developed it with backwater science. NOTHING like science is divided into two. Science is both historical and operational. Full stop.

DoctorAlien:
Are you sure that evolution is a lab science? Note that this is different from asking whether some of the things that evolution employ in its explanation can be tested in the lab. But, can we see that particular first organism arising from pond scum?

What do you have to say about these quotes from two high-profile evolutionists, who acknowledged the distinction between historical science (evolution) and operational science (disciplines like Physics, Chemistry)?

1.
“For example, Darwin introduced historicity into science. Evolutionary biology, in contrast with physics and chemistry, is a historical science—the evolutionist attempts to explain events and processes that have already taken place. Laws and experiments are inappropriate techniques for the explication of such events and processes. Instead one constructs a historical narrative, consisting of a tentative reconstruction of the particular scenario that led to the events one is trying to explain.”

—Mayr, Ernst (1904–2005), Darwin’s Influence on Modern Thought, based on a lecture that Mayr delivered in Stockholm on receiving the Crafoord Prize from the Royal Swedish Academy of Science, 23 September 1999; published on ScientificAmerican.com, 24 November 2009.

2.
“If a moving automobile were an organism, functional biology would explain how it is constructed and operates, while evolutionary biology would reconstruct its origin and history—how it came to be made and its journey thus far.”

—Wilson, E.O. (1929– ), From so Simple a Beginning, p. 12, Norton, 2006.

i have trashed this rubbished of historical and operational science once with you before. Those creationist you are quoting are only doing that because scienctifc evidence is against their claim......every scientific evidence is both operational and historical because claim and fact can be study, tested, documented , observed and verify overtime......




And about evolution, it is stupid to debate it with you, you don't even understand how science works. How can you know how evolution works?.




To those who want to learn. Pls this is Harvard uni report and lab demonstration of what is called evolution of bacteria

budaatum:
Nigerians are taught creationism from very early at home by their parents and their teachers in school. We don't even learn history so how could we possibly understand evolution?

You can see alien subscribing to false claim that science is divided into two. historical and operational.

budaatum:
Lay man language like English?

like break it down into simple terms and well to understand analogy.

Interesting......

Canadian women kidnappers: Only 4 suspects were actively involved

DGN Online has gathered from security sources that out of the eight persons arrested in connection with the kidnapping of the two Canadian women, only four are the ‘real’ culprits.

Sources say the four are Seidu Mba, a Ghanaian, and the three Nigerians.

One of the Nigerians has been identified as Sampson Aghaor while the identities of the other two are yet to be known.

According to DGN Online‘s sources, police were still working to establish the “involvement” of the three other suspects that have been arrested as well.

It has been gathered that one person among the three is a driver, another one a mechanic and the third person a ‘worker’ of a car rental company.

DGN Online is equally informed that as at yesterday, June 13, 2019, the police had taken statements of each of the eight suspects.


The suspects are likely to appear before court today, June 14, in line with constitutional provision that a suspect should not be kept in police custody for more than 48-hours after his or her arrest without a bail or sent to court for trial.

It would be recalled that five Ghanaians and three Nigerians were placed in police custody after their arrests in Kumasi on Wednesday, June 12, 2019 in connection with the kidnappings of the two Canadian women.

Information Minister, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, briefed the media on Wednesday in Accra, as he gave updates on the rescue mission of the two ladies.

The Minister did not give further details on the identities of the eight suspects but assured that legal processes would be followed in ensuring justice is served.

Duration For Rescue Mission

The Minister had told the media that it a took a National Security team 25 minutes to rescue the women from a house at Kanyasi, a suburb of Kumasi.

DoctorAlien:
I marvel at the confidence with which evolutionists mock creationists for believing, with faith, that life was created, while at the same time they believe that life evolved. What is more striking is that it takes as much faith, nay, I say much more faith than creation requires, to believe evolution. For whereas creation affirms that an omnipotent Creator created life, evolution entertains such absurdities as life arising from the actions of blind, random, uncontrolled, pitiless forces of nature acting on random materials.

EVolution is an open science vis a vis a lab science.

It is one of the most tested scienctifc theory and any idiot refusing it are doing it purposely because it portray the truth they are not willing to accept.

kkins25:
Belive?? My brother the concept of evolution has nothing to do belief. Care observations have been made priori by Mr Charles D. Whom based on observations proposed his ultimate findings- that life is evolving in line with environmental changes. Today scientist have confirmed that at every strata of organization.

Evolution is poorly understood by students and, disturbingly, by many of their science teachers. it should be part of the compulsory science curriculum in nigeria schools. I have discuss evolution with a biological student from Nigeria before and her reaction and understanding about the topic was very foolish. Permit me with the use of my word.

budaatum:
What is Evolution and how does it work? Evolution 101 provides the nuts-and-bolts on the patterns and mechanisms of evolution.

How do you think it will be possible to teach evolution theory in a lay man language.

There is no harm in letting bullets do the talk .

You might be politically incorrect but you are 100 percent logically right. Even the Ghanaian that are now welcoming this new life style should be allowed to face the strict iron rod of the law.


Ghana legal system is unfriendly to criminals . I can bet you, those criminals arrested will spend the rest of their life in prison.

Blow by blow account on how Canadian girls kidnappers were arrested.


An all-Ghanaian security operation yesterday rescued the two Canadian ladies who were abducted from the gates of their hostel in the Kumasi suburb of Kenyasi.

Dawn Attack

The dawn operation, led by Col Michael Kwadwo Opoku, the National Security Coordinator, was undertaken with military precision; the timing and other details were guarded until the launch hour or H-hour.

When the squad finally made contact with their target, it drew fire from the armed gang.

Information reaching DAILY GUIDE indicates that the operatives with no intention of engaging in a firefight, as that could endanger the lives of the abducted ladies, did not return fire.

Evidence of the danger the ladies were exposed to at the moment of contact was when the leader of the gang, upon discovering that their location had been surrounded, said, “We know why you are here. If you attempt anything, we shall kill the girls”. Shortly after that, they started firing at the squad. Eventually, they were overpowered and captured.

Nigerian, Ghanaian Criminals

Of the 14 persons arrested, three are Nigerians, three Fulanis and some Ghanaians, including Seidu, aka Mba, a staunch supporter of Kumasi Asante Kotoko.

Eleven of the suspects were picked up in a building located in a thick bush at Antoa Krobokrom at 11:00pm on Tuesday, where the two Canadian girls were also rescued.

The security agents, acting upon a tip-off, also apprehended three other suspects at a location at Sawaba in the Asokore Mampong Municipality at 3:00am on Wednesday.

Car Number

According to credible information, the number plate of the Toyota Corolla car that the kidnappers used to kidnap the two girls played a role in the overall operation.

A CCTV at the hostel where the two girls were kidnapped reportedly captured the number plate of the Toyota Corolla of the kidnappers on the day of the incident.

The number plate was blurred and so the National Security Operatives from Accra relied on some modern gadgets to decipher the state of the details.

One Abdul Rahman, aka Wofa, the owner of the car and a resident of Sawaba, was identified as the owner of the car. This provided the security agents with an important lead and the eventual breakthrough.

In the heat of the euphoria, social media became heated with both truths and untruths making the rounds. It was reported on social media that a certain Seidu Mba was arrested, with some even referring to him as leader of the criminals. They added that he is a member of the Delta Force – a vigilante group associated with the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

However, it turned out later that the man was neither a member of Delta Force nor NPP as the propaganda which went viral sought to imply.

He is said to be a staunch Asante Kotoko supporter and once led a group of supporters to chase out a coach from a field of play.

Seidu’s Boy Assist In Arrest

Reports reaching DAILY GUIDE have it that Seidu’s errand boy also supplied the security agencies with information, leading to Seidu’s arrest.



Seidu reportedly failed to give that particular boy his fair share of a deal they brokered, and this infuriated him to the point where he decided to assist the police with the intelligence they needed for the Wednesday operation.

One Suspect At Large

One key suspect in the kidnapping of the Canadian girls managed to escape arrest and police are on his heels.

Medical Attention

The two Canadians were soon after their release sent for medical attention and psychological tests in an Accra medical facility after the torturous moments at the hands of their captors.

Seidu’s Arrest

Seidu’s implication in the abduction story is said to have shocked the police because he has been an informant of the law enforcement agency in the Ashanti Region for many years.

Seidu owns a boutique at the Aboabo Post Office area and rubs shoulders with important personalities in Kumasi.

Now In Accra

At the time of filing this report yesterday, the criminals were due to be brought to Accra for further action by the security agencies. The expected multi-sectoral investigation is expected to involve National Security Operatives, the Criminal Investigations Department (CID), the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) and the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS).


The motive of the abduction was monetary as the report from Kumasi indicated.

Tweet To Canada

Seidu created a Twitter account and contacted the families of the kidnapped girls in Canada.

According to reports, the kidnappers engaged the families of the two girls in a conversation with the hope of milking money from them.

When they discovered that the Twitter account could expose them, they quickly closed the account a few days after creating it.

A credible police source also said he suspected that the kidnappers had the motive of holding the girls in their hideout for some time until they received a ransom.

The two Canadian girls ? Lauren Patricia Catherine Tilley, 19, and Bailey Jordan Chitty, 20 ? were abducted on June 4, 2019, while returning to their hostel from a youth development programme organised by Youth Challenge International.

Govt Press Conference

A government press conference yesterday addressed by Information Minister Kojo Oppong Nkrumah explained that the operation took 20 minutes to execute.

According to him, five Ghanaians and three Nigerians are currently in custody, adding that contrary to speculations, there was no foreign security operative involved in the operation.



He said the operation was an integrated one involving the CID, Defence Intelligence, SWAT and the BNI.

As stated in a preceding paragraph, gunfire came from the compound where the criminals and their captives were. He disclosed that a Ghanaian provided accommodation for the criminals.

Canadians In Town

The minister explained that the Canadian security experts were only in town to explore ways in which they could help to rescue the girls, but it was not necessary because their Ghanaian counterparts could handle it.

At the end of the operation, the two Nigerians holding the Canadians were subdued and the third Nigerian arrested later.

Present during the press conference were the National Security Minister, Kan Dapaah; Deputy Minister of the Interior, Henry Quartey, and COP/Ms Maame Yaa Tiwaa Addo-Danquah.

Have u being to the Northern Nigeria of recently, do u know that states like Kaduna,Kaduna are more developed and has better economy activities than most southern states outside lagos,PH, Calabar and few others?

that idiot sound brutish, kaduna economically outperform calabar, kano can compete with PH economically aside oil. and if it is not jos crisis, jos was once part of Nigeria economy power house. No state in the North is more developed than southwest( I mean human and social progress) but in commerce, even adamawa and maiduguri had a well robust economy before boko haram.....

Don't run away idiot, i want to remind you on how nature screwed you . Nature needs to apologise

Just30:
yep

its a crazy figure

Apart from students and expatriate, most of the Nigerians in the informal sector are highly into crime or has the potential to be involved in crimes . So they have graduated from cyber crime to real kidnapping for ransom.

kkins25:
I dont think so, at least according to the bible. In the context in which the phrase "let there be" was used, God clearly created light.



If we go by your logic here


It would also mean that when God said "let the earth bring forth grass" as seen above- he didn't create grass. Are you saying the source of the grass existed in the soil before God was born? Are you also impling that God did not specifically create anything. He simply made conditions favorable?
Or are you saying God created everything else but didn't create light. If yes then he is only God of the biosphere he created and not God of the multivariate as we know it.

......Good rebuttal

You are back from injury. Are you sure you are fully fit or you just want to allow that weed smoker junkie to put you in trouble?

implemented over a year ago in 13 countries across Africa and
East Europe, Ghana topped countries such as South Africa, Egypt,
Nigeria, Jordan and Tonga, which tested the ability of pupils in
Class One and Two to read from an average of a word per
minute to seven words per minute. https://www.gbcghanaonline.com/featured/ghana-tops-in-pupils-

Meet the 19-year-old student who got accepted to Yale, Princeton, MIT and Stanford

Carolyn Asante Dartey Standford
Carolyn Asante-Dartey will be going to Stanford University


She had received a scholarship to the most expensive school in Ghana as the first winner of The Dr Dennis Larkin Scholarship which seeks to support deserving Ghanaian students with international world-class education for two years in grade 11 and grade 12 equivalent to SHS2 and SHS3.

Despite the early struggles of changing systems, Carolyn did her best during her stay at Lincoln Community School to get admission to two Ivy League schools, put one a waitlist for one and get other top schools.

The 19-year-old Ghanaian student was admitted to Yale University, Princeton University, Stanford University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), University of Toronto, Grinnell College, Syracuse University, Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, Pace University and Lynn University.




She was also put on the waitlist of Ivy League school Cornell University.

Here are photos of the Ghanaian student who got admission to Yale, Princeton, MIT, Stanford and other top universities.

She will be going to Stanford University.

what i can say for now is,
There is going to be reckoning and it wont be pretty.

Cabinet requested Immigration `to let them know the number of Nigerians that enter Ghana on the Daily Basis and the figure stands at around 3000 daily.

they are going to take a decision

for what 3000. That figure is crazy

https://punchng.com/four-nigerians-arrested-over-alleged-kidnap-of-canadians-in-ghana/

This is giving me a lot of personal concern. To be honest, there are genuine Nigerians in Ghana but the desperate ones has outnumber them and Ghana immigration authority may be ruthless now. Since the plan is to drag Ghana into the same cesspit. Ghana, the most peaceful country in west africa, fourth in Africa and 41st globally will ensure she maintain this trends. Not in Ghana now but will be in the country soon. So i can at least have a direct access to the local info instead of the online report which may be biased.
