@farmerman,
Quote:In evolution that is untrue. We have a large percentage of micro phenotypic changes lead to macro changes that ARE NOT better. macro- Adaptation macroevolution merely confer successful breeding not a damn thing more
I agree. Intelligent beings can enter bad information into the system also. So what's the point. The fossil record supports both positions. The interesting them about intelligently entered mistakes they can be corrected quickly enough to insure survival through the paradigm change while leaving gaps in the fossil record..
Quote:All this you seem to know how? what about lichens, how-bout Carboniferous beetles with non flying wingsets.
They are bugs and moss or skin disease. What's the point?
Quote:You seem to fall back onto one of the miisunderstandings about evolution. Changes may occur to any indivduals offspring that make it more successfully fecund but its theoverall population that we say is evolving. hat happens to an individual is like a single nail in a house.
So you just added another level of complexity to the system by making a large algorithm (evolution of an overall population) with many small algorithms operating inside (individual organisms) That are both embedded in an even larger algorithm (the ecosystem) that is having information introduced randomly but, guided naturally, that is leading the information in all the living algorithms in the population organism to a paradigm shift where, things like dinosaurs, eventually will become flying birds?
If you eliminated every other page of a novel, could you fill in the missing pages with a random letter generator and AI software so that it still makes sense? Or, how about a series of novels? A group of encyclopedias?
That's what you are asking your version of biological evolution through natural selection with random sources of new information to do. That is some tremendous AI software running in that living algorithm. Isn't it?
Biological evolution through natural selection with intelligent input to make through the paradigm shifts can do both. Finish the novel and provide the missing information needed in to make biological evolution flow smoothly.
And create your magnificent AI algorithms needed for natural evolution to work naturally.
