@farmerman,
Quote:Why not find a book on petroleum geology
And I thought you were a geologist...dont you know the answer ? You were asked the question and now you claim you cant explain the answer because you are too high and mighty for all that .
Quote:Evolution does not do that at all.
Evolution does not use Biology classifications ? Why not find a book on Biology . A library card is your friend . Did you not understand the reference was that Biology classifies by similarity ? What do you understand ?
Quote:Science has attempted, ever since the last century and a half to really define the sources and relationhips among anmials nd plants by fossils, genetics AND embryology. So your point is one of ignorance, not fact.
Science has attempted and I am ignorant of that fact because you have ESP ? How do you know what I know...I increasingly suspect you dont know what you used to know . Does Biology classify by similarity, yes or no, not what was attempted .
Quote:
Are you afraid that no one but you seems to understand the concept?
Thats what makes me think you have a chip on your shoulder...what does it make you think of ? Your inate superiority to mortals ? Your disdain to do anything in a post but to regurgitate half remembered nouns in the hope no-one will suspect you of obfuscating to hide your real inability ?
Quote:YOU have an annoying penchant to quickly change your POV
You have a total inability to understand anyone else's POV which includes completely misunderstanding mine in the first place and further confusing yourself as I patiently explain what you clearly dont understand . I dont change my POV . You on the other hand tend to be confused, perhaps rushed .
Here is what I said:
Quote: Here are the two things I said...its in English .
Quote: I have yet to see a specific scientific advancement that needed it
Quote: name one discovery that needed the theory of evolution for it to be discovered
And your take is that those two statements are so different as to warrant telling me I am
Quote: You are trying to weasel over a bit to eliminate ANY necessity
That is rather typical of your gibberish and I haven't cut it short . What were you trying to say ? Are you serious when you say you cant see the similarity in those statements ?
Your manoeuvrings are childish and embarrassing . Your attempt to paraphrase the above (in bold) is :"Where is evolution important"
"Where is evolution the only means in which something is done"??
And you really can not see the reality of your argument .
Yet you say:
Quote:I was born, just not yesterday. Try to keep on your message and don't do the -etrick of changing your position with your own brand of quote mining in the hopes that nobodyll notice the errors.
Then:
Quote:Similarities, or any amount of convergence happens in many animal orders.
I make the point that convergence evolution in a system where species are classified according to appearance and similarities is a handicap and your take is to argue that it is common . WTF ???
Now you have so totally trashed any clear picture of the original argument so I will repeat it:
Quote: I want to know a specific discovery... Like the discovery of x-rays, or penicillin . That sort of thing .
and in other posts I further explained (note this is not a change in POV) using a definition of evolution, tell me how Evolution has directly led to a discovery rather than discoveries reinforcing Evolution .
Try sticking to the point, read what is written not what your ego wants to defeat, leave out the big words to impress people and you might actually convince someone you have a rough understanding .
