Prove to me that you have a strong enough understanding of genetics to understand any explanation I may deign to give you.

Things don't generally speciate while you're staring at them. You have to look at the big picture, and that requires vastly longer time spans than your mythology permits.
Quote:I also know that information can not be added to DNA because there is no mechanism to do so.
Except for sexual reproduction, stochastic switching due to the chemical composition of the environment, any non-deleterious mutation, chromosome fission and chromosome fusion. Seriously, GC, DNA is just a rather complex molecule. Anything that can alter its chemistry is capable of changing the so-called information, and if the change does not harm the organism it has a chance of being inherited by a descendant.
Quote:An oyster shell was sent to be carbon dated several years ago, the age came back as 100,000 years old...
I call bullshit. An expert in radiometric dating would not have reported 100,000 years using C14, as the practical limit of that dating method is only about 50,000 years.
There is also a slim chance that a filter-feeding bivalve such as the unfortunate oyster in question might have ingested something that would yield a false positive, such as some dissolved calcium carbonate that had originally been in a fossil in an ancient seabed and leached out into the water, but that is a minor consideration considering that the whole story sounds, um, fishy.
Quote:So tell me when did telling the truth qualify as non-respect, seriously.
GC, I am willing to stake my entire life, and any other lives I may someday possess, on the proposition that you are not telling the truth. I doubt very much that you're lying on purpose, but you seem to have an insurmountable problem with distinguishing between knowledge and belief, and between fact and fiction.
Quote:You seem sensitive to my post to others yet you have no sensitivity when it comes to what others say about me, you seem to have a bias problem.
I'm merely reporting things as I see them -- You were the one who poisoned this well, and now you're upset that we're making you drink from it. Stop calling people fools. Stop calling people blind. Stop pretending that you're the only adult in the fucking room.
Quote:I'm a grown man who understands that many adults are childish I've seen it over my 63 years of life, experience is a good teacher and I pay attention closely so that I can gain that experience.
I'm 60. To me you present as extremely childish and gullible, hopelessly brainwashed into a particularly silly subset of Christianity, and arrogant enough to think that you possess a truth that all the non-believers here failed to grasp despite most of us living in heavily Christian environments for most or all of our lives.
