Theobald Nature 465, 219–222 (2010)10.1038/nature09014; Theobald reply The question of whether or not all life on Earth shares a single common ancestor has been a central problem of evolutionary biology since Darwin1. Although the theory of universal common ancestry (UCA) has gathered a compelling list of circumstantial evidence, as given in ref. 2, there has been no attempt to test statistically the UCA hypothesis among the three domains of life (eubacteria, archaebacteria and eukaryotes) by using molecular sequences. Theobald2 recently challenged this problem with a formal statistical test, and concluded that the UCA hypothesis holds. Although his attempt is the first step towards establishing the UCA theory with a solid statistical basis, we think that the test of Theobald2 is not sufficient enough to reject the alternative hypothesis of the separate origins of life, despite the Akaike information criterion (AIC) of model selection3 giving a clear distinction between the competing hypotheses. What's your point? I often consider that there may have been multiple abiogenesis events, and that these separate lines exchanged genes horizontally. "Theobald2 recently challenged this problem with a formal statistical test, and concluded that the UCA hypothesis holds."

If there is a God, why not create a universe in which nature would automatically produce the life we see through the process of evolution? The model of common ancestry can explain why everything appears the way it does, and it does so using natural phenomena that we already observe directly. For the bible to be real, animals would have to be able to adapt to changing circumstances. The nature of reality is so far beyond what they hypothesised in darwins time, that at this point anything is possible. That being said, a single cell is more sophisticated than our most advanced technology, I have a hard time believing that it came about without a designer. I am not saying anything new, people are entitled to their opinions, however Darwinism has caused irreparable damage to western society, only by a miracle will we get out of this in tact.

I'm not running away at all. The model of common ancestry can explain why everything appears the way it does. Why is life arranged in nested hierarchies? Because different taxa diverge from common ancestors. This also explains why identical ERV's are distributed across different taxa to varying degrees, in accordance with their taxonomic classification. Why do we see taxa emerge in the sequence demonstrated in the fossil record? Because earlier taxa evolved into the later ones. Are you prepared to accept that other hypotheses can also explain and have not been disproved but evolution is the accepted model at the moment? Quoting: newtome I never said evolution isn't the accepted model at the moment. There are infinite hypotheses we can't disprove, but what reason is there to think any of them are correct?

I made the assertion that the evidence is on the side of evolution theory (specifically common ancestry)and that it can explain the observed data. It is and it does. Proof is usually associated with math. Science builds explanatory models. Models with predictive power are more probably correct than those without. and now you are running away from what you said The model of common ancestry can explain why everything appears the way it does, and it does so using natural phenomena that we already observe directly. I'm not running away at all. The model of common ancestry can explain why everything appears the way it does. Why is life arranged in nested hierarchies? Because different taxa diverge from common ancestors. This also explains why identical ERV's are distributed across different taxa to varying degrees, in accordance with their taxonomic classification. Why do we see taxa emerge in the sequence demonstrated in the fossil record? Because earlier taxa evolved into the later ones. Are you prepared to accept that other hypotheses can also explain and have not been disproved but evolution is the accepted model at the moment? Quoting: newtome I never said evolution isn't the accepted model at the moment. There are infinite hypotheses we can't disprove, but what reason is there to think any of them are correct? The evidence for evolution is so overwhelming that it is highly unlikely for it to be incorrect. What hypothesis do you have that can equally explain the facts, make valid predictions and be equally supported by the evidence? By your definition of proof the climate models don't prove the link between CO2 and temperature. Quoting: newtome I never gave you a definition of proof. I don't know what you're talking about. I can't prove that I'm not in a coma right now, but I have no reason to think I am. So once again we are at the point where you know what you are saying must be true but you have no conclusive proof that it is, just lots of evidence.................... Can you explain how the evolutionary process has so many abrupt jumps rather than only gradual changes? |

Proof is usually associated with math. Science builds explanatory models. Models with predictive power are more probably correct than those without. This guy is like the atheist version of mr. VIP This guy believes that algorithms, codes, blueprints, designs, features and complex systems can be created/achieved without intelligence or mind. And he'll defend this position, with... his own intelligence, which by his own retarded worldview, is the result of random chance events and should by definition not be trustworthy or rational. The kind of person that is impressed by nothing and no evidence will ever suffice due to bias, prejudice, closedmindedness and ofcourse casual god hating pop culture. Still waiting for you to make an argument. All you have is strawmen and ad homs. Last Edited by Spur-Man on 01/23/2019 10:45 PM |

Can you explain how the evolutionary process has so many abrupt jumps rather than only gradual changes? From Berkley [link to evolution.berkeley.edu (secure)] Does a jump in the fossil record necessarily mean that evolution has happened in a "quick" jump? We expect to see a jump in the fossil record if evolution has occurred as a "quick" jump, but a jump in the fossil record can also be explained by irregular fossil preservation. We observe examples of both slow, steady change and rapid, periodic change in the fossil record. Both happen. But scientists are trying to determine which pace is more typical of evolution and how each sort of evolutionary change happens. |

Changes will be more abrupt when an environment undergoes sudden change, or a population is put through a genetic bottleneck. |

All you do is say the evidence supports ................. (fill in the blank) but you never provide anything about how that happens. That is the same issue you have with religious folk who simply say they believe it is so and provide what they consider evidence but can't produce anything you would consider as proof. I am not sure you have said you know anything is true and I am certain you haven't provided any proof regarding our conversations, only evidence. |
