Mutations disprove the theory of upward evolution
RE: Mutations disprove the theory of upward evolution
There is something I always wondered about... Why are atheists asked to refute biology?

After that it is just simple mathematics.
The conclusion results from that.

Your conclusions are wrong, and based on false calculations. I proved it.

God is wrong, because of the sheer impossibility of it. This has been demonstrated. It's proved. Your christo-logic has been disproved. Since atheism is the opposite, it is correct.

It has been proved.

Not quite,

The mutation number may be correct but what you are not taking into account is that a fatal mutation is exactly that fora given individual (thereby removing that individual's genes from the gene pool).

Not fatal mutations are not a problem and continue throughout the lifespan of the species. A few of those may result in changes to the species over time, if it provides advantage, and that will result in evolution.

Thank you for playing and proving evolution along the way. I must admit I hadn't thought of it in those terms.

That in itself argues for God.

No explanation without God has explained it.

Therefore God must exist.

Next step is to identify God.

Since you repeat the same phrases over and over and over again and ignore every single argument that refutes your claims I have taken the liberty to report you as a spammer.



awwwwwwww, now you may go kaputt

Oh yah, thanks max. Adopting the ersatz term "negative mutations", negative mutations have a greater tendency to result in reproductive failure through death or other mishap than neutral or beneficial mutations. As a result, you cannot calculate the total as a simple linear projection because the actual rate of reproduction of individuals with negative, neutral, and beneficial mutations are each different (by definition, no less). This is essentially the effect of natural selection. The original argument assumes that detrimental mutations will be conserved at the same rate as neutral or beneficial mutations, contrary to the basic definition of a negative or detrimental mutation (negative in this sense implies differential conservation). So calculating out mutation load by multiplying mutation rate by number of generations is itself wrong and an implicit misrepresentation of the theory of evolution (as it ignores natural selection).

You lose, again.

So, you won't submit your claims to a formal, controlled debate with someone. What's that clucking sound that I hear?

I guess that's one way to find common ground.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Sigh you OP that mutuation are often something as simple as my fingers being a touch shorter then my parents or me being harrier, or perhaps they have small noses and mine is big. It's not usually being born with a extra finger or something.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

The way I figure it, creationists envision evolution from Pokemon or X-men...

It has not gone unnoticed that you have not responded to any of Zazzy's posts to you.

Why is that? He's a biologist that just wants to educate you with actual science.

Is your faith that weak?

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

We are discussing the topic at hand.

You have failed to refute the post for this topic.

The conclusion stands.

The evolutionist world disagrees with you.

Go google it.
Yes you are correct in seeing I haven't gotten heavy in refuting claims, only because several users, including zazzy whom you ignore, have done a great job of that already. I still want to test your mentle in a one on one discussion.
And I googled upward evolution here is what I got.

That's a lot of creationist pieces.
