Well, the other option is that the diety simply used some...... 'Excressenc' of itself.

Perhaps the late Douglas Adams was properly prophetic and all of our reality actually is nothing more than being 'Diety snot'?

Oh and 40000 fly generations have produced nothing, thank you lenski

Where are you getting your number of generations from? It would take more than 1500 years to run that experiment at roughly 25 fly generations per year. It would take 16 years to get 400 generations and 60 years to get 1,500 generations. Are you sure you haven't misplaced a decimal point?

A time travelling whale you say:

Quote:Another thing that got forgotten was the fact that against all probability a sperm whale had suddenly been called into existence several miles above the surface of an alien planet.
And since this is not a naturally tenable position for a whale, this poor innocent creature had very little time to come to terms with its identity as a whale before it then had to come to terms with not being a whale any more.

And the whales last thoughts were, 'I wonder if it will be friends with me?'

Quote:Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the bowl of petunias as it fell was Oh no, not again. Many people have speculated that if we knew exactly why the bowl of petunias had thought that we would know a lot more about the nature of the Universe than we do now.

Sorry. But she (?) started it!

It's a floating decimal you see. He started with thousands and it grew to many thousands, it then stabilized at 30,000 for a while.

It now stands at 40,000 generations.

He does have a point though. After 40ky flies should be the size of Steinway fucking pianos.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

Doesn't matter how much you repeat your ignorance of Lenski's work he and the rest of biologist community are laughing at you.

And Alex has shown a far greater understanding and contributed far more to your thread then you have.

RE: The code that is DNA
The trouble, for the umpteenth time, Yukon..is that we have observed speciation in the lab and in the field. Not just speciation, and not just once, but cladogenesis as well, multiple times. You can even produce this effect at home without any complicated equipment.

Unless it's wholly unimportant to you for the things you post to be true, this complaint is DOA. You could still field the objection, in a more accurate form, ofc. We have yet to observe human speciation, for example. We've seen that we came from something else - but not that something has come from us. Maybe the thing that we know can happen, that has happened, won't happen. Who knows why. The same factors are in play - but this could be the one instance in which the ball falls up.

Ultimately, this is what creationists like you, or like John, believe. It's not really the case that you don't believe in biology or facts. Now is it. There, cutting to the chase.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
