Evidence for God from Science

Hi FL,

For sure artistic license. I just tho't it was interesting that an artist of that time period would want to put the three of them together.

Hi Zoegirl, As I think you have pointed out, in a single generation - or three generations, assuming most of us will get to see an average of three generations in our lifetimes - not enough time passes for changes to be obvious. Therefore, you have to look into the past. I'm sure you're aware of the...

Hi Kurieuo, I googled it - haven't found yet what you are speaking of but will look again. I did find evidence that he responded to claims that he was a liberal activist by his rebuttal: If you look at public polls in the United States, at any given time a significant percentage of Americans believe...

>>judges probably know very little about science<<

Everybody in that courtroom got an impressive primer on science, including the judge - enough to convince him ID was basically a religious proposition and that it wasn't science.

You're a hard man to impress, Gman!

Hi Gman, If you'll look closely, you'll see that I never said Judge Jones was a scientist. And Stephen J. Gould was a staunch defender of evolution, including what you are calling macroevolution....and...evolution has stood up to vigorous scientific testing for 150 years - sometimes being refined, b...

Hi Mr. McGrew, About blind cave fish - interesting that they not only lose their eyesight due to lack of selection pressure but their pigmentation. No need to have a color that benefits survival or mate-attraction skills if there is not enough light to be seen. Yet the brain space is filled in by so...

Hi Gman, >>What is your evidence for macroevolution?<< Transitional fossils? Opposable thumbs? DNA relics of genes leaving a family tree? >>Why ID isn't scientific?<< After several weeks of listening to expert testimony under oath, a judge said it wasn't science - Judge Jones, Dover trial. DB

Hi Gerald and welcome. I agree with everything you said. Good post!

Hi Hman, Very good post. I have been listening to an audio about fossilized relics in DNA. There are undoubtedly thousands of them, where a useful gene slowly falls into phenotypic disuse while being "selected out." The gene eventually gathers mutations which don't affect the phenotype but...

The fascinating abstract below is a good example of the depth of knowledge one needs in order to follow the more complicated parts of genes and evolution - and this is an extremely simplified summary of the whole presentation: Surprising Details Of Evolution Of Protein Translation Revealed ScienceDa...

Embryological development is a cascade of changes that occur in harmony with each other, directed by the conductor (the genetic code). Occasionally, however, a trumpet player sneezes, a drummer drops his pounder, a violinist breaks a string, or a trombonist has a stroke. Depending on how badly that ...

I think "admit" is not the appropriate word. There was no crime committed. Errors in development occur frequently - errors that are not coded in the genes. Some of the more common congenital heart abnormalities fall into this category - septal defects, tetralogy, etc.

More seriously, there probably was no mutation here - just an error in embryological development.
