OT- Still no answers on Darwin??
 

C'mon NOBBY where's that 150 hours of biology & science getting you?
Surely you know the answer?

Tom, you seemed interested... not even a guess?

Am I going to be proven right... again?

Um...I missed the question again. With all the OT nonsense, I must
have lost the thread. In fact, I was going to ask you about it

I promise - I'll give it a shot when I return - only could you restate
the question again in this thread which I will place a watch marker
on?

Thanks.

"What key point about differentiation of species did Darwin get wrong?
Hint: it has to do with traits of offspring."

OK. You did, actually, but there a lot of OT posts at the moment. Not
all of them are nonsense though ;)

Thank you, Doug. Didn't know you were listening too. And I bet you know
the answer... ssh!
;)

BTW it should be mentioned that this mistake of Darwin's in no way
lessens the scientific validity of the "theory" of evolution.

Horse puckey.



1 - The fact that nowhere in "Origin of Species" did he actually give
an example of the origin of any species?


Wrong. That was the part of the puzzle filled in by his visit to the
Galapogos Islands.

2 - Speciation because any genetic grouping will tend to inbreed
rather than outbreed even if there is opportunity?


???
Are you from West Virginia?
I'd be interested if you have any references showing Darwin said this.


3 - The fact that Darwin proposed a theory of natural selection and
not evolution?


Uh huh. Lots of people started calling it "Survival Of The Fittest"
within Darwin's lifetime, a mis-statement he detested.


4 - The fact that Darwin never actually developed a methodology of the
origin of natural selection?


Actually, he did.

Pick one - any one.

Want some more? :)

Not really, I have limited time for imaginary bull****. Did you google
this crapola from creationist web sites?

Darwin was one of two of the the foremost biologists of his century. The
other one also formulated a theory of how species arise, but didn't
publish it. He also avoided the key mistake I'm alluding to. Do you know
who that is?
Hint- he has a geographical feature named after him, near Australia.

You more than struck out Tom.

Here's the real deal.
Darwin proposed (did not claim it was proved, which was a good thing for
him) that parents pass on *acquired* traits to their offspring.

And there you have it. Welcome to the Nation of Idjits, you're right at
home.

Common friggin' sense: If you don't understand a piece of machinery,
keep your hands off the buttons. If you don't understand a piece of
science, don't make proclamations about it.

You're playing word games again. None of those make sense.

Very good.

Now explain your answer in your own words.

You know Doug, you are a complete and total ass.

Why, because you've made a lot of proclamataions about things you know
little of, and I showed you up?



I tried to be civil.

No, you didn't. You tried to fake knowledge, and gain credibility by
spouting BS. Now your mad at me because I said, "put up or shut up" and
I wasn't bluffing.

... Just plonk me and leave me out of future
discussions with you.

I'll do the same.

Tell you what. Don't pretend to know things you don't, and I won't come
along and rub your nose in your ignorance..

The problem with you... and many many many people these days... is that
they're convinced if they believe something, it must be true. It affects
their politics, it affects their attitudes... but it doesn't affect the
real world.

The problem is when you try to base real world actions on fairy tales &
bull****ting. Doesn't work, never has.

Really?

Ya think so?

All you proved is that you know little about evolution & biological
science, and that you're willing to try & bluff.


... Doug's assumption is that everybody is stupid
but him

Wrong.

I assume a lot of people are at least as intelligent & well educated as
I am. It's a fact in the real world.

However, I can spot a BS'er from miles away and while I don't mind a
little harmless story-telling, you tried to make scientific
proclamations to make yourself seem smart.

Now you're mad because you got caught. Must be my fault, huh?
