If you observe a monkey on a tree, it is observable data, or in my words event. If you see that two species have similar characteristics it is not observable data, you have made at least 2 assumptions which depend on your personal view. I see the same species with totally different characteristics, like you and I. That’s why when you twist the wording of the rules you fail. I cannot be repeating the same things over and over again… It is another proof that evolutionists do not want to play by rules of science… There are 4 rules and there are terms in the rules… Quote:

Like: everything tends towards the best, so there must be a perfection, which is god. OK... but you see that it has no practical value as well, and there is a lot of room for argument of what "best" is, and again what the nature of god is. All acquinas really brings up are interesting conundrums in logic and reason, and even limits to logic and reason. No scientist disagrees that there are open questions that are unsolvable. The human mind is limited. A scientist's goal however is simply to understand the observable world based on the abilities we have. | Again, pay attention – Aquinas’ logic has no scientific value. And what scientists think or understand about abilities and etc has no value in science, these are their personal beliefs. And different scientists have different beliefs; some agree, some disagree; the majority don’t even talk or think about such things. I have demonstrated that in my post about Nobel Prize winners.

Einstein. Relativity: The Special and General Theory. 1920.
What else..… ’’The agreement between Newtonian mechanics and general theory of relativity goes so far’’ that I guess I would have to quote pages now? TOR is ALL based on observation of phenomena and a very good part of it based on observations and experiments of classical mechanics ( as anyone can see from the text of TOR ), and not on some very special observations but the most basic ones a kid can confirm…
If you mean Galileo’s transformation: “’The Galilei transformation can be obtained from the Lorentz transformation by substituting an infinitely large value for the velocity of light c in the latter transformation. “Einstein.

Einstein. Relativity: The Special and General Theory. 1920.
Oh, darling… What did I say about the Christian creationist Maxwell and TOR? Oh, exactly the same as TOR and Einstein. So, us repeat it to you: THE BEATLES - MAXWELL'S SILVER HAMMER LYRICS
Each and every time evolutionists start talks about TOR and quantum mechanics. Each time I ask them, please don’t start me up… they never stop… Are you a biologist or a physicist? Didn’t I ask you to make it “’biology for idiots’’ and not to start me on Einstein? Why? Quote:

Math does not need science. Math is not exactly science or the scientific method as it is described in the rules. Math is pure logic. As somebody said, ‘if we wake up in the morning and find that all universe around us is gone we would still be able to do math.’ Quote:

Well if two populations are competing in an environment of limiting resources, the population with the better advantage to survive will grow faster than a population with less of an advantage. This could be the same species or different species. Darwin's hypothesis was that evolution would occur over time, cause changes that are more advantageous will stick, while changes that are not advantageous will die off with the population. Hence evolution.
Open question: What causes that change from generation to generation.

You have merely shown that evolution is non-scientific because it is not following the 4 rules procedure as I have described in my Step 1…2..N. As I have said I am basing my view on the 4 rules quoted. The process you have described is in no compliance with the rules. You see, you, atheists, have the term “scientific revolution”. I have been taught science by atheists. The quoted rules are the base of your ‘’scientific revolution’’. Thus the process suggested by you is anti-scientific revolution. This is exactly what I have been pointing to. I accepted JC as my savior but I never was required to abandon science taught to me by my professors who had to be atheists. I am arguing from the POV they had taught me. to be continued |

What is No? Do you disagree that genetic drift is the process of change in allele frequencies that occurs entirely from chance? Do you disagree that in the Pinnet square and Da Fenitti triangle there is no coordinate of environment, no line of genetic isolation (speciation)? And where am I right? And where is your claim about the relation between the genetic drift and natural selection? Bingo. You have your own theory of evolution, which is different from others theories here and you have dropped it after I have pointed the contradiction of it to mathematics of genetics. I have no intention to try to figure out your new statement, I never was right in what you claim I was right, I was not even there at all. Quote:

It is not what I am saying, it is what the scientific method is saying, and it is not saying what you are reciting, but exactly what it is saying. You see it is like I have a measure, a ruler, the 4 rules, all I have been doing is applying it, - no thinking or invention needed, - to see how far you are away from science. Take the ruler and measure any statement of yours by yourself to see exactly what would be my answer.
But again I can give it all to you, put your cross shoes on and tie up my feet. You can hypotheses or theorize, or use any loose semantic you want, and you can test, but until your can demonstrate your tests proving your hypothesis or theories, please, do not come to me with them as with any kind of scientific or useful truth.
Moreover, I may entertain even an untested hypothesis but only on 3 conditions 1. It has to be logical, or as you have said it has to be expressed mathematically so that I can appreciate the beauty of your imagination. 2. It should not take more than 25 pages altogether, anything more than that would make your imagination ugly.3. It must not contradict laws of physics.
Evolution has never hold up to these requirements.
If it isn’t mathematical it is not logical in science. Species that look different to you may look similar to me, - as I always say evolution is in the eye of the beholder. Quote:
Originally Posted by nkgupta80 The last sentence again kinda alludes to the nature of reason. Yes there are different logical systems, but once they start conflicting drastically, you have a problem.

You live in a society where technology created from scientific models is all around you and you constantly use it. If you deny that the logic behind those models produced valid results, then you're living in conflict. | Again, science studies nature. Nature does not follow human logic. Nature and you, -who did create whom? It is as simple as that. Logic of all other science, including technology is known as mathematics. That used to be the bare minimum I used to ask evolutionists for in the beginning. Now I am not even asking for that minimum, I will do it myself, I am asking for something I can do math about…
As to the process of scientific thinking, I am afraid you have been confusing with the scientific method, – there is no rules, you can hypothesize, hypnotize, use imagination as Einstein, fantasize, use logic, get drunk, do whatever you want in your head. Many say that logic is of no help, opinions and methods vary greatly… Quote:

I do not put CC scientist in front of everyone. Did I ever put CC in front of Einstein or Feynman? I put CC only in front of CC scientists. You cannot debate like this…I am sorry if I have to leave, I really have some other things to do…
What is Christian version of creation and what is evolutionist version of creation?
No science can disprove G-d, as well no science can prove G-d, G-d is not in the scientific domain at all just by definition. Who did create whom?
Let’s look at the problem. We know that science exists. We don’t know if G-d exists. There are 2 variants.
1. G-d does not exist. So we have science that exists on the left and nothing that exists on the right. Can science prove or disprove nothing existing?
2. G-d exists. We have science that exists on the left and G-d who exists on the right. Who has capability to prove or disprove whom, who is the almighty?
The theorem that ‘’No science can disprove G-d, and as well no science can prove G-d’’ is proven unless you have some different answers to the questions. Now let’s polish it and do it in math…. I am getting carried away…
Did not I say that I used to believe in G-d and in some kind of a version of evolution in the same way as SD and you believe in your own versions? I believed that evolution was some kind of a science I did not know too much about. My belief in G-d did not improve when all evolutionists convinced me that evolution was not science. When I came on DP I did not know that, but after debating with evolutionists I am fully convinced now. My belief in G-d has not changed, in the same way as my understanding of science has not changed even a bit since I have became a Christian.
It is another proof #1000001 that any time when one criticizes evolution the evolutionists spin into considerations of one’s personal views and beliefs away from science. This is another proof that evolution is not science.
I do not mind to accept evolution in exchange for your love, I do not mind to announce it publicly if it pleases you, darling, but I would have to announce it as my personal belief I have no proof for within realms of science. Yardbirds | For Your Love Lyrics

My methodology for discovering truth is primitive and flawed, but Evolution is exhaustively supported just as the Universal Law of Gravitation. Puts everything in its place. My methodology is quoted word by word from the Universal Law of Gravitation book and it is written by the author the Universal Law of Gravitation.
The most entertaining thing in your post is by that quoting TOR and Einstein and repeating what they say I am in denial of what they say. Evolutionists are so rational, so entertaining and so knowledgeable of theory of relativity and laws of gravity, that it is all they can talk about.
Very entertaining. |

galilean addition of velocities (the classic notion of relativity)

relativistic addition of velocity as per einstein:

That is, you cannot see the effects of gravity by placing a rock in your hand and viewing its effects on the objects around it. You can't know that the mass is actually the cause of gravity because your body is not sensitive enough to feel the effects. You have to rely on empirical evidence from extraordinarily large celestial bodies around you such as the movement of the planets in our solar system around the sun. Such reasoning is the exact same thing for evolution when DNA, fossils, and micro evolution is shown. Yet, when evidence for evolution is shown in the same type of manner that the theory of gravity is supported you mark it off as false and wrong.
Don't you find that peculiar? |

Then it would be good if we could get back to TOE instead of TOR. | whoa man, classical mechanics is a case of relativistic mechanics if you make simplifying assumptions to relativistic mechanics. In other words its a "rough" version of relativistic mechanics. Relativistic mechanics applies to everything, its differences to classical mechanics only becomes noticeable when it comes to large-mass bodies and objects traveling very fast. This is something classical mechanics was fundementaly unable to explain. This is why the model is incomplete, and its notion of relativity not quite correct.
Point here is, models get corrected and expanded using deductive logic. Einsteins derivation of relativistic mechanics was largely deductive. Again I want you to explain WHY logic has no role in science (which again to my sounds ultimately absurd). |
