Johnism takes no position and explains nothing. It merely insists that there are gaps in evolutionary theory, regardless of whether those gaps exist as described.

Jesus Christ, can’t even get his comparative mythology right.
Loki would be closer to satan, though not quite. Odin was their Christ figure, who’d sacrificed himself before and would return to do so again come ragnarok.

I want to get you the explanation and evidence you're looking for, I just don't quite recall such a proposition being made by me on this thread.
Oh, I’m painfully aware of that fact, lol. You see, when you refuse, repeatedly, to be forthcoming about your position on a particular subject, your interlocutor is left with no other option than to make an inference based on the available evidence. In other words, if you don’t like being strawmanned, tell the truth when asked to clarify your position. Do you believe god created all living things? Do you accept the theory of evolution? Some combination of both?
Quote:I have a vague memory of saying creationism is compatible with evolution.
Sure, why not? Is that what your position is? Or something along the lines of: you’d accept the theory of evolution by natural selection in its entirety if it wasn’t for that pesky human eye business? Please, do clarify.

Its like asking you how you broke your arm. Does it make sense for me to come up with my own alternate position, or try to explain how you broke your arm with my own hypothesis, before I can ask you the question?
No, if I ask how you broke it, its up to you whether you want to tell me or not.

Yes, it would be up to johnism to tell us whatever johnism describes, and why johnism asserts it.
It would also be up to johnism to do the most basic research about whatever claim it wished to make.
I’ll be here when you get back.

Probably not, theories are tools. They don't require our beliefs or acceptance, only our understanding an attention. If the pesky human eye business, and all the issues in evolutionary psychology are resolve for example, then I'll be more inclined to use the theory for the formulation of hypotheses and observations. Sorry, I just have no interest in joining any evolution cults.

Modern synth doesn’t claim to explain life on earth, and is the unifying theory of biology, SOG.
Do you have some explanation for why you got that line of criticism less than wrong?
If we were playing a creationist drinking game we’d be sloppy drunk by now.
Do you worry about having joined a creationist cult, John?
