Evidence for God from Science

Pierson5:

I read through this thread, expecting to need to weigh in to correct the standard Creationist fallacies and miscomprehensions.

No need to do so - you've done a quite fine job of it!

I'm a vertebrate paleontologist, and I'll stand by: if you need me, just holler!

The Coelacanth. Whoops. ??why? 1) Scientists say things evolve, that is, they change; the coelacanth is little changed. 2) Scientists said the coelacanth was extinct; it is not. QED Darwinism refuted. Scientists never said "the coelacanth" was extinct. What they said was that the lineage ...

You seem to lack an operational - that is, determinable, definition of "kind". It means whatever you need it to mean in any particular case. For example, in the case of "falcon", you claim it means species, as there are different "kinds" of falcons. In the case of "...

Y.E. creationists, misuses the term min (kind). Young Earth creationists say that it means ancestral types of creatures that no longer exist. An example would be some min of cat that contained all of the genetic information to evolve into domestic cats, lions, tigers, cheetahs, Leopards (all which ...

One of the major problems with the Weinstock et al paper was that they chose Equus lambei as one of their few fossil horses to analyze. Equus lambei is not a fossil, it is a modern domestic horse. The type, a skull ans jaws, has bit wear on the teeth. It is largely on this basis that they say that a...

The article you are looking for was this one: Evolution, Systematics, and Phylogeography of Pleistocene Horses in the New World: A Molecular Perspective by Jaco Weinstock, Eske Willerslev, Andrei She2, Wenfei Tong, Simon Y.W Ho, Dan Rubenstein, John Storer, James Burns, Larry Martin, Claudio Bravi, ...

Actually, DNA is no better than morphology, in that there is no clear number of genetic differences between valid species - it is still a rather arbitrary thing. Since evolution proceeds one single point mutation at a time (ignoring the huge jumps caused by homeobox genes, splicing, etc) there still...
