Quote: I will accept that rivers occur without intellect. If you can, and now I am asking for the third time, show how a river system contains the following elements required of an evolutionary system...then I will be happy to concede.Too bad, because rivers and procedural gens work on the same principle to the same effect. I'm not required to jump through every bullshit hoop you let fall out of your mouth just because you refuse to engage in a rational or honest conversation. The effort I;ve already spent was more than your argument deserved and more than was required in order to render the argument null. It's fallacious, factually incorrect by definition, and..at this point, transparently dishonest. All in the service of christ, of course.
Quote:Again those elements are:Don't care. I'm not interested in your weasel words or your equivocation.
replication
heritable traits
change
selection
