Stop pretending that science is oppressing Creationism. Americans are perfectly free to question evolution. The problem for Creationists is that evolution has all the answers and all the evidence.

When I heard Stephen Meyers' and Michael Behe's speeches on KZread years ago it was an eye-opener to me. I slapped myself on the forehead for realizing such a logical conclusion about life,its origin and development. I remember ever since I was a kid in high-school I was thinking about how the parts of the cell were acting like small machines and frequently asked myself how did the different parts "knew" that they should interact the way they do in order to function, how did the migrating birds knew their way for the first time and passed it onto the other birds of the same population... and many more questions. I was a curious kid. Things just didn't match with what the textbooks said... but the teachers "preach" them like it is the Holy Bible and leave no place to doubt or reflect on their content. I am really happy that I happened to hear of this alternative explanation. Stephen Meyer has truly a brilliant mind.

"We see the same thing played out over and over throughout time when new information is brought into the discussion" we see nothing of the sort. new information is brought to the discussion literally every day. papers are published in peer reviewed journals every single day. Meyer's attempt to do this was by the back door using his crony Sternberg to sneak a paper into PBSW bypassing the proper review process. they got caught. what is a darwinist? there is a body of scientific knowledge ascribed to by 99.99% or more of working scientists in relevant disciplines. they agree that the theory of evolution is the only scientific explanation of the diversity of life on this planet. the standard work on the cambrian is Erwin and Valentine.....how much of it have you read? cover to cover since you seem to think yourself an expert. science is not a religion.

I'm no expert. But then I don't need to be. I have seen how new ideas that challenge the standard doctrine are excluded. We saw it with the spherical earth theory, the controlled demolition of the world trade center theory, the washing of hands before childbirth theory, continental shift theory, the earth as the center of the universe theory, etc. We even have a quote for this. It goes something like, "First the ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they attack you, then you win.". Wegener’s theory of continental drift was rejected by most other scientists during his lifetime. It was only in the 1960s that continental drift finally became part of mainstream science. Semmelweis could not explain why hand-washing was effective - he didn’t know about germs - he just saw that it worked and that patients no longer caught fevers and other diseases. He was lured by another doctor into an insane asylum in Vienna. Realizing it was a trap, Semmelweis tried to get out, but was held and badly beaten by guards and placed in a straightjacket. He died two weeks later, most likely from injuries he suffered during the beating. Aristarchus was the first person to propose that the earth and the other planets orbit the sun. He also said that the stars are much farther away than the planets. Some people demanded that Aristarchus be put on trial for daring to say Earth is not at the center of the universe. Soon Aristarchus’s work was forgotten. It would stay forgotten for almost two millennia. I saw with my own two eyes how the scientific community reacted to the controlled demolition of the Twin Towers and WTC7. They wouldn't even look at the evidence, ...stating that, "A new investigation would put us (the AIA) on record as calling the official narrative into question. Darwinists are people who religiously believe in the doctrine of Darwinism; a theory of biological evolution developed by the English naturalist Charles Darwin (1809-1882) and others, stating that all species of organisms arise and develop through the natural selection of small, inherited variations that increase the individual's ability to compete, survive, and reproduce.

@@mcmanustony All actual scientists agree with Dr. Meyer. The more ignorant do not. In his posthumously-published Observations upon the Prophecies of Daniel, and the Apocalypse of St. John, Isaac Newton expressed his belief that Bible prophecy would not be understood "until the time of the end", and that even then "none of the wicked shall understand". From an objective standpoint there are no supernatural things, because every individual defines ”supernatural” according to his own subjective worldview. God is a natural agent for any person who’s got a true experience of Him. Some of the greatest names in science who believed in God: Nicolaus Copernicus (a monk), Johannes Kepler, Galileo Galilei, Isaac Newton, Robert Boyle, Michael Faraday, Joseph Priestley, James Clerk Maxwell, Gregor Mendel (the founder of genetics and abbot of a monastery), Lord Kelvin and Albert Einstein. In fact, even Darwin was not an outright atheist. Plus, many of the pioneers of quantum physics: Werner Heisenberg, Max Plank, Erwin Schrödinger, James Jeans, Louis de Broglie, Wolfgang Pauli and Arthur Eddington. And today's scientists - the astrophysicist Paul Davies, Simon Conway Morris (Professor of Evolutionary Paleobiology at Cambridge), Alasdair Coles (Professor of Neuro-immunology at Cambridge), John Polkinghorne (who was Professor of Mathematical Physics at Cambridge), Russell Stannard, Freeman Dyson ... and Francis Collins, who led the team of 2,400 international scientists on the Human Genome Project and was an atheist until the age of 27, when he became a Christian. Over 60% of all Nobel Laureates in Science believe in God. The more ignorant a person is, the more he is inclined towards atheism. Natural sciences started to decline when Charles Darwin presented his evolution theory, without understanding anything of genetics. Physics is the basis for all modern natural sciences. Robert Laughlin, professor of physics at Stanford University, and sharer in a Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on the fractional quantum Hall effect, describes evolution theory as ”an ideology, a logical dead end and an anti-theory”. Evolution theory is against the discoveries caught from empirical studies of natural science. According to Laughlin, the observations which are used to justify evolution theory are questionable at best, and at worst they are completely false. Dr. Laughlin continues by stating that empirical natural science does not need the evolution theory and the evolution theory does not get support from empirical natural science. There'll always be atheists, but with the discoveries made in modern science they can't refer to science to support their faith anymore.

@@jounisuninen Review of Stephen Meyer's ludicrous *Signature in the Cell* 'Meyer's book is yet another in a long line of 'Intelligent Design' propaganda pieces. Intelligent design is not even an hypothesis, much less a scientific theory. I realize that the Discovery Institute has resources and money to get these books published, but after reading this I ask myself: Why do they bother? They don't have any science to offer. Meyer suggests that intricacies of cells and of DNA could not possibly have evolved without an "intelligent designer," which everyone knows by now is just a code word for 'God.' The utter dishonesty of not just coming right out and saying: 'God did it' (which ultimately is their REAL argument) gives an idea of how much Meyer and his ilk can be trusted. ID is not science, no matter how you try to argue it, Meyer. Evolution by natural selection on the other hand explains the evolution of the cell, and all subsequent life beautifully - no deity necessary. If you want to read some books discussing the real science of evolution, check out Richard Dawkins' 'The Greatest Show on Earth' Donald Prothero's 'Evolution What the Fossils Say and Why it Matters' Jerry Coyne's 'Why Evolution is True' and Neil Shubin's 'Your Inner Fish A Journey into the 3.5-Billion-Year History of the Human Body'. Meyer's book is still potentially useful though. For instance, if you have a table with one leg that's too short, you could even it out by putting 'Signature in the Cell' under the short leg. Problem solved, and the Discovery Institute will finally have done something useful for humanity.'

The theory of Evolution requires more faith to believe than what is required to believe in a Creator. Darwin must have been a very smart guy capable of recruiting scientists as his priests from the other side. He would be pleasantly amazed by his large following with a high number of them being scientists who have not and cannot find the missing link to support Evolution theory. If he, Darwin, was alive today, he would not make a fool of himself.

About once every 1,000 years (probably closer to a million) or so, we actually come across a bike with a "beneficial" defect. Perhaps a seat is a bit more cushioned or more rounded, or one of the peddles is a bit wider. We feel that the defect may actually help the bike sell.....so we implement the defect into every new bike from that point on. In MY version of this analogy, in a billion years or so, we will STILL have bicycles coming out of the factory. they may look a lot different than the older models, but they'll still be BICYLES!!! In the "evolutionist" version of this analogy, in a billion years or so, we will have F-14 fighter jets coming out of the factory!?!!?? Do you see what I mean?? There's no way (defects) over time will turn the bicycles into fighter Jets......that just won't happen. AT least NOT without outside help! But it doesn't stop there. The "evolutionist" also says that a whole lot of other things have also came out of the bicycle factory.....like aircraft carriers, race cars, helicopters, 747's, and teh space shuttle !!???!?!?

Good Terms and Statements to Understand and Remember: @4:42 “Morphological Innovation” @6:08 “Population Genetics … as scientists have begun to calculate how much change could take place in a given period of time when they need even just two or more coordinated genetic mutations, what are called ‘waiting times,’ go right out the roof. They rise exponentially. And once you get beyond two coordinated mutations, the expected waiting time … suggests that we would have to wait much longer than the period of time that life has been on earth.” @11:45 “the central mechanism of modern Darwinian theory, the mechanism of natural selection acting on random genetic variations, lacks the creative power required to explain events like the Cambrian explosion. It does a great job of explaining minor variations … But these are cyclical variations within an established limit. They do not explain where we get moths, or birds, or indeed animals in the first place… neo-darwinism explains the survival, but not the arrival of the fittest. It explains small scale variation. But it does not explain what is called ‘morphological innovation.’” @18:47 “So rather than a few basic forms of life missing ancestral forms, now as a result of the Burgess find, there were many … exotic forms of animal life that had been unknown before, each of which was also missing ancestral forms.” [re: the 1909 Burgess find in Canada] @19:56 “Again, the fossil finds accentuated the problem of the Cambrian explosion… They found that the period of time of the explosion had been even much shorter than had been previously believed… The period of time of the Cambrian had shrunk so much that one paleontologist said, ‘What I like to ask my evolutionary biology colleagues is this, How much faster does this have to happen before we stop calling this evolution?’ [re: the 1984 in China] @23:20 “Stasis: Lack of directional morphological change” @23:42 “’[Professor Chen] said, ‘These new animal finds in the Maotianshan shale in southern China have turned Darwin’s Tree of Life upside down.’ The Darwinian metaphor of the tree implies that change moves gradually from simple to complex. But instead, what the fossil record shows is the very first forms of animal life come into the fossil record fully formed, with an extraordinary integrated complexity, in each case exemplifying a unique body plan.” @27:50 “We could think of this as an engineering problem. How do you build an animal? How would the evolutionary process have produced these complex forms of life, given that it requires a great deal of time to work, and given that it relies, we now know, on unguided, undirected copying errors in genetic information.” @31:09 “The information in DNA is highly complex. That means it is not just a repetitive pattern. It’s not a mantra. It’s not ‘um, um, um.’ It’s not the same letters repeating over and over, ‘AT, AT, AT.” Instead it’s complex and unpredictable and a-periodic. But it’s also specified. That is, the arrangements of the characters in the DNA molecule are specific in order to perform a communication function. In particular, the function of conveying information to the cell’s manufacturing system about how to build the proteins that the cell needs to stay alive… That’s what we have in DNA. We have information that is functional.” @32:58 “If you want to build a new Cambrian animal, we now know that you need a whole bunch of new types of cells… There’s a big jump in complexity as measured by the types of cells required. But for each new type of cell, you need new… dedicated proteins. So to build each new form of animal life with all these new cell types, you need all kinds of new proteins. And each kind of new protein requires more genetic information. Now, that’s where things start to get sticky from a… neo-darwinian point of view, because we know something about systems of code or informational text. If the systems are functional, random changes are not friendly to maintaining function. Random systems tend to degrade function rather than to enhance function.” @42:20 “The method of multiple competing hypotheses, or the method of inference to the best explanation. ‘The best explanation,’ said Lyell ”is a cause now in operation, a cause known from our present experience to have the power or capacity to produce the effect in question.” @44:47 “What is the cause now in operation for the production of digital code? What do we know from our uniform and repeated experience about what it takes to generate information in an alphabetic, typographic, or digital form? It’s a mind, right? It’s an intelligence. That’s what we know from experience.”

You do not get asked to publish a paper, publishing your work is what scientist do to if they have anything to contribute, so that the peers on that subject can review what you present. This is an essential part of the scientific process. One of the reasons why he doesn’t get invited to conferences is the same reason why my Nan isn’t invited either. He is not an expert in this field. Other than my Nan, he also ignores evidence every time it contradicts his agenda. That man once owned up to the wedge paper. He stopped being a scientist long before that. If he had any original research to present, he'd do so...in a research journal in genetics or molecular biology. He'd present this revolutionary work to conferences of experts in these fields. But what does he do? He and his lying crony Sternberg cheated the review process to sneak a research free Essay bursting of psydoscientific nonsense, into a journal of research, that’s why the board repudiated the little essay and dropped it from the list of papers published, they were caught and got what they deserved.

The article laid out the evidential case for intelligent design, presenting it as the best explanation for the origin of the biological information necessary to produce the new forms of animal life that arose abruptly during the Cambrian explosion. Because the article was the first peer-reviewed publication arguing for intelligent design in a technical journal, it proved extremely controversial. The journal’s editor, evolutionary biologist Richard Sternberg, was punished by his Smithsonian supervisors for allowing Meyer’s article into print. This led to the investigation of top Smithsonian personnel by the U.S. Office of Special Counsel. The controversy was widely covered in the media with articles or news stories appearing about it in The Wall Street Journal, Science, Nature, NPR, The O’Reilly Factor and the Washington Post. The federal investigation eventually concluded that Sternberg had been wrongly disciplined and intimidated.

What I find totally ironic is the current use of computers to "teach" evolution with programming models of creatures that can exchange characteristics, and "evolve" over generations of the model. I would argue that this "evolution simulator" is actually a CREATION MODEL. I have a background in computer programming so I'm in my element discussing this. What is called an "evolution model" is, in reality an environment conjured into existence by the creators of the software. The "life" in this environment didn't arise from progression of objects that were not "alive", but were placed ALREADY FORMED in their rudimentary selves in the environment where rules (once again - dictated by the programmers) allowed or disallowed these "life forms" to change over time. This entire product is clearly an argument in favor of INTELLIGENT DESIGN - despite the advertising of being an "evolutionary teaching tool"; -Truly an example of "not being able to see the forest because of the trees..."!

His bike lock analogy is flawed, I think, because it neglects selection. Each step in evolution (neglecting neutral theory and such), each digit on the bike lock, is selected prior to the next step - of course this is a simplified view. This argument can be used for evolution by neutral mutations but it falls apart when we consider natural selection. That's why Meyer in his book _Darwin's Doubt_ presents additional arguments, arguments about how gradually accumulating, selected microevolutionary changes cannot produce a new protein function. But that's in direct conflict with empirical data - there are hundreds of studies, published in respected peer-reviewed journals, which show that that's just not what we observe. So Meyer's two main arguments against the evolutionary theory as we know it are flawed and he is left with his "missing fossils" argument in the case of the Cambrian explosion. And even this issue can be made much less acute by considering the data he (deliberately) omitted in _Darwin's Doubt._

As an agnostic 40 years ago I rejected modern cosmology and Darwinian explanations. I remained an agnostic for 1.5 years after that rejection. I would have no problem believing my Bible and macro-evolution, they are not mutually contradictory. My problem with macro-evolution is the science. PV=nRT means no first generation stars can form, so you add 99% dark matter? Might as well invoke the tooth fairy. So a new animal is formed from a mutated zygote. Great, where will it find a mate with the same chromosome number? There is no scientific explanation for how anything is here apart from an Eternal intelligent being. You either invoke the supernatural right at the beginning, or you invoke ignorance at every major step. One Eternal Tooth Fairy or a zillion little tooth fairies. I'd rather worship One God than many little gods.

2 Timothy 3:16 says "all scripture is given by inspiration of God". The bible literally claims to be God's message to man. In order to prove this you would have to show that there are things in the bible that only a being such as an omniscience God could have known at the time the bible was written. The bible was written during a period of 3500-2000 years ago. Unbelievers assume it's wrong because it's old. They argue it was written is pre-scientific times, back when people were supposedly stupid, and of coarse divine inspiration is not up for consideration. But for those of us who are open-minded, Divine inspiration of scripture is to be considered. So the question is....is there evidence for this? Genesis 1:1 says "in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth". The word beginning refers to time, the heavens refers to the universe, and the earth is matter. So you have time, space, and matter. Before the 1920's most scientists believed the universe was eternal with no beginning. The assumption was that the universe had always been there and would always exist with no end. If you lived at the time you may have thought the bible was at odds with science. In the 1920's Edwin Hubble discovered the universe is expanding. Scientists started to accept the need for a beginning. Einstein being one example. They knew if the universe is expanding, there had to be a starting point. Scientists discovered the universe began with light. The bible says the same thing. When God created the universe, the first thing he said was "let there be light". Today scientist's say the universe was smaller than an atom when it began, then it started with a flash of light, then it expanded out of that light, and continues to expand today. In Genesis 1:3 God said "let there be light" on day 1 of creation. The bible teaches that the universe was created in 6 days (Exodus 20:11) with day 1 being the beginning. Genesis 1:1-2 is a summery describing what happened in the beginning, but not how. The explanation of how creation began starts with verse 3 where God said "let there be light" . The bible describes the expansion of the universe by saying "God stretches out the heavens". (Zechariah 12:1, Isaiah 48:13, Jeremiah 51:15) Science and the bible agree on the beginning, the light, and the expansion. How can the authors know these things thousands of years before modern science? Scientist's say the big bang started with light then the universe expanded out of it. The bible says the same thing. The bible even describes scientific facts about the earth. Some ancient people believed the earth was sitting on water or on an animal, but Job 26:7 says "the earth hangs over empty space". A description of the earth floating in space, thousands of years before our space program. Many verses seem to describe the earth's mantle by saying "God laid the foundation of the earth (Zechariah 12:1, Jeremiah 31:37, Psalm 102:25). The earth's mantle provides a rock foundation to support the crust above it, while separating the crust from the core. The messianic prophecies are another great example of divne inspiration. The old testament was completed about 400 years before the birth of Christ, and it describes the death of Jesus in amazing detail. When Jesus hung on the cross he said "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me" (Matthew 27:46). People don't understand what he meant by that. It's not that God had really forsaken him, but Jesus was qouting Psalm 22 which begins with that same line. Psalm 22 describes the cruxifixion in detail. The piercing of the hands and feet, his enemies staring and gloating him, and dehydration. Jesus recited this psalm from the cross because he was referencing fulfillment of prophecy. Isaiah 53 also refers to his cruxifixion by saying "he was pierced for our transgressions, and by his wounds we are healed". In Zechariah 12:10 Jesus even prophesizes about his own death by saying "they will look upon me, the one they have pierced". John qoutes this line in his gospel to show fulfillment of prophecy (John 19:37). The bible identifies Jesus as the Creator. "All thing were created by him" (John 1:3) Even if you're the biggest unbeliever, Jesus is not hard to find. You just have to spend time in prayer and study the gospels and tell him you want to know he is real, and you want to repent and be forgiven of sin. Just pray and ask him to make himself known to you. He may not show up in the way you might expect, but over time you will get indications that he is listening. You will see him work in your life. If you devote your life to Jesus, he will change you, refine you, mold your character, and make you a better person with a purpose and mission. He will change you in ways that will just amaze you.

You should learn science from the professionals, not hacks that belong to anti science "intelligent design"

Meyers “go to” explanation for every phenomena that science has not, as yet, been able to convincingly explain is to attribute the same to God. His is the classic God of the gaps.

When I ponder the evolution of evolution since the time of Darwin, I conclude that nothing has really changed. Modern evolution still ultimately depends on spontaneous generation. Spontaneous generation appears to be the foundation of all modern science. That is, all except Intelligent Design.

What we find IN that sediment however, is interesting. Layers of burrows, stacked on top of each other. Footprints from dinosaurs and pterosaurs, and early birds, cemented, then buried, then footprints ABOVE the others. Trace fossils, (tracks and markings of other animals) also buried on top of each other. Not redeposited, but simply the same thing as if you laid down cement, marked it with handprints, then laid down more cement, and done the same. Creationists ignore this evidence, and they make a point never to address these examples, it's why you've probably never heard of them. MOST cultures have 'flood stories' because MOST cultures live near water. Always have.

i find dr myer very interesting to listen to, and so bright. i think he brings up good points, of which it seems l acedmic science world, seems to mostly disregard. evolution is fascinating. but my question is, there are not only so many gaps in showing evolution, the proof of evolution, is somewhat weak at times. i look at it as an idea, an idea dawrin thought up...not a bad idea, but with such complexity in nature, i don t think it is fully proven. it is possible. when one looks at the complexity of the cell, the brain, and so on...to say complexity came from simplicity doesn t cut it for me. i m not excluding evolution, but i don t think it has been proven. and dr myer brings up a lot of questitons....which seem to be quite valid. evolution, to me becomes a religion, that some feel you don t question,.]

At 5:20 Meyer is whittling down even further, a quote mine of Samuel Bowring's 1993 paper in which Bowring describes a particular part of the Tommotian Atdabanian period of the Cambrian as being 5-6 million or unlikely to have exceeded 10 million years. Meyer is basically asserting that the entire explosion itself was only 5 million years, based on a quote mine of this: Here is the actual statement from Bowring's research on pg 1297: ""In contrast, if we accept the age of 525 Ma for the Atdabanian-Botomian boundary, then the Tommotian-Atdabanian period of exponential increase of diversification lasted only 5 to 6 m.y. In any event it is unlikely to have exceeded 10 m.y.. Numbers of phyla, classes, orders, families, and genera all reached or approached their Cambrian peaks during the short Tommotian-Atdabanian interval."" What Meyer fails to mention in the video, or anywhere else, is a slow diversification of the Ediacaran prior to this interval lasting some 14 million years (and which is mentioned by Bowring right before this particular part of the paragraph). Meyer now (as of this video) has 3 (three!) versions of this quote mine. In some online sources, he asserts that Cambrian explosion itself is 10 million years based on this Bowring source, in his book (Darwin's Doubt) he uses the 6 million year tail end, and in this video, he's down to 5 million now. This quote mine of Bowring appears on page 68 of Darwin's Doubt, as reference #62. At no time, nor in this video, does Meyer tell you that the Tommotian-Atdabanian is only PART of the Cambrian explosion period, and is not a 'main pulse'...which is just Meyer further running away with the quote mine from Bowring. Bowring is simply stating that groups reached their peaks during this interval.

Did I miss where he explained why his time line is different then the biblical time line?

The parts of Darwin's theory that actually hold to scientific scrutiny are the ones he plagiarized from other scientists, many of them, oddly enough, Creationists.

I've tried to get a question answered by the Discovery Institute guys, for whom I have great respect (I've read all their books), but to my disappointment, have never gotten an answer. I now suspect that the question bothers them. Here it is (as submitted to a webinar): First, my question is not combative; quite the contrary. The crew at the Discovery Institute has enlightened me to a vital aspect of How The World Really Works and I'll forever be grateful. My question relates to the base cause of speciation, but for a clear answer I'll have to pose it a certain way (Note: there may be very different answers, depending on who you ask. Michael Behe, for example, believes in common descent (as do I), the idea of which is at the root of my question. I am especially interested in the answers from those who do NOT believe in common descent): You have a photograph of your parents, right? Your father? How about your grandfather? Good chance. How about your great grandfather? If not, you can imagine one, a full body shot, say… of a man, a Caucasian, with basic ‘family features.’ Now take it further and imagine a photo of your great great grandfather, imagining the full body shot, possibly with clothes appropriate to the mid 19th century. Now do this going back to your great grandfather to the 100,000th ‘degree,’ which would be somewhere around two million years ago (20 years for each generation). Please describe the being in general appearance. Now please do the same for 5 million years ago. And so forth, going back in the huge stack of photos to the first one. What do you see? Are there ‘moments’ (photographs!) that are particularly evocative of your worldview? Is there an ‘Adam’ where the stack ends? One reason I ask this is that it seems to me that we have two and only two choices regarding the subject of speciation. Either macro-evolution (with the causal mechanism known or unknown, but almost certainly via an 'intelligent designer' of some sort) brings us back to a one-celled organism (common descent) or we have a sort of ‘Beam me down, Scotty!’ scenario, wherein species poof into existence, presumably via the will of God (or other intelligent designer). There would be many millions of these ‘miracles,’ one for each species that ever existed. (I believe in common descent because I do not believe in this scenario.) If you see a third possibility, I’m all ears. And feel free to use the thought experiment to make any point you care to about life and its development. (I pose the question this way because it forces a clear, unequivocal answer. In other forms the question can be tip-toed around.) The above is from my 'Open Letter to Michael Behe, Stephen Meyer, and Douglas Ax', which you can access here: blog.banditobooks.com/an-open-letter-to-michael-behe-stephen-meyer-and-douglas-axe/ Again, many thanks to all at the Discovery Institute. I've read all the books and look forward to those upcoming. Allan Weisbecker Note; Dr. Meyer is a good one to ask as he apparently believes in the Poof!

I know this is 2 years old but I would like to give an answer. Whether or not speciation occurs depends on how you define a species. How many differences between 2 organisms does it take to consider them separate species? Are the differences genetic, physical, or both?(since genetic and physical differences don’t always overlap) Or is a species defined by who can breed to whom and produce viable offspring? I prefer the latter. Different races of humans tho physically and genetically different can still reproduce with one another, we are the same species. Thousands of breeds of dog exist yet they are interbreed all the time, even with wolves, they are the same species. In this we also observe an Oscillation about a mean. A species changes only so much before reverting. Domestic dog breeds released into the wild look and act more and more like wolves with each generation. There is evidence that there is a limit to how much a species can change. In the Bible this is hinted at when it says that God created animals “according to their kinds” variation can occur within a kind but one kind cannot turn into another kind. We need to clearly define a “kind” though or species. I say they are the same species if they can successfully breed. But I am interested in a more specific definition. Just how different is one kind to another? Where is the edge, the line that separates one species from another in genetic terms? If evolution is true there really won’t be such a line but if ID is true then there will be one that each species cannot cross. Again I think Dogs are the best example we’ve been selectively breeding them for quite some time. They are still dogs. And some breeds have touched the limits, like boxers who often need surgery to breath properly. So in conclusion speciation doesn’t happen, according to the definition that they are the same species if they can successfully breed, and that what we see is an oscillation around a mean and not an infinite departure.

On the Cambrian explosion: When you run computer models using the genetic algorithm to evolve computer programs you notice that there are sudden, rapid jumps in fitness. You get not much of anything for a length of time and then suddenly the algorithm finds a particularly fit solution that enables the population to jump to higher levels of fitness and complexity in a short period of time. The system then plateaus at this fitness level for a period of indeterminate time before another jump occurs, which is usually smaller than the previous jump. I use this fact to determine when I should shut the algorithm down and stop looking for higher levels of fitness. Eventually the jumps in fitness become so small that it is simply not worth continuing to run the algorithm. I have no doubt that the computational biologists are aware of this fact.

Computer models are creation models, the very definition of intelligent design.

This is a poor argument. No scientific theory is meant to have explained everything. They are simply meant to explain what facts it entails. So all he is saying is that there is still some stuff scientists dont know that the theory doesnt explain yet, therefore we need a new theory. No. Unless the theory contradicts the evidence, we keep it till we find something better. Appealing to imaginary beings, especially supernatural ones, is anti-science. This is just a verbose appeal to ignorance fallacy.

*"No scientific theory is meant to have explained everything."* But neo-Darwinism does not explain anything, A.I. Dysteleological anomalies, acted on by population mechanics, have never generated anything. Not a new species. Not a new body plan. Nothing. The hypothesis DOES contradict the evidence.

Isaac Nussbaum It explains the biodiversity. The idea of a bodyplan implies intention. Scientific explanations aren't about the intentionality of imaginary beings. Evolution explains why there are species. It doesnt generate new species. It seems like you are trying to anthropomorphize science. It's a methodology to create explanations.

@@Aria-Invictus I understand what you are saying, A.I. It seems to me, however, that since the fossil record does not contain any evidence of evolution, the neo-Darwinian hypothesis is a profoundly flawed (some say failed) explanation.

@@Aria-Invictus Thank you for asking, A. I. The neo-Darwinian hypothesis posits that universal common descent happened over long ages via many minute, unguided anomalies in reproduction. Each minute change took hold in a population and then another, and another, and so on. If I saw in the fossil record an unbroken line of minute changes, changes so small and so continuous that it would be impossible to determine exactly where one phylum left of and another one began, I could be won over to Darwinism.

Interesting how he is quoting Darwin like scripture. It's like he has made the Origin of species something he can interpret, semantically, to fit his argument. I think it's quite disturbing to see.

Interestingly, he's not actually quoting Darwin. He's actually misquoting Darwin, and not even misquoting, he's inserting words into sentences Darwin said in order to recharacterize the entire statement. Darwin's book is easily accessible online, and so I'm quite amazed that Meyer is doing this. Usually creatards try to misquote older sources where it's not so easy to find the original version. But 'On the Origin of Species' is a world famous book long out of copyright and freely available to anyone online, in multiple formats.

Saying "only God knows" means the same as saying "nobody knows." At least scientists say, "nobody knows yet, but i intend to find out."

There are serious scientists that consider conscieness as responsible for energy and mater. If we dont explore the reality of conscieness or exclude it apriori from our field of inquiry we risk not fully understanding reality.
