Perspectives on Evolution

[The Grand Nudger]

Failing to object to a gene pool being a thing, you're now quibbling about whether or not evolution is a process...that happens to that thing.  

I do object, but if you want to call it a thing, then that's just how you use the word.  You can call every 3rd Sunday a thing if you want, but it doesn't really do much for your argument.

Ofc you do.

Are you sure you're responding to me?  That's not how I define evolution.

Surprise, surprise.

No it's not.  There's no process by which the things outside the spaceship change except perspective.  You are moving THROUGH glass clouds, PAST stars, and so on-- they are not morphing in complex ways around your ship for your entertainment.

The answer is still "just yes"...is this what you -really- wanted to find somebody to bicker with about, though?  You have word use concerns entirely divorced from evolutionary biology.  

Pretty sure I just did.  Your core sample is a static object, and it does not change based on where you choose to move your eyes-- or do you think it does?

You'll have to find some loon who thinks it does to complain to.

You and your children are different objects.  You did not change into them.

Excellent, then QED, a change to the gene pool has been demonstrated.  The stock of genes did not contain my child's sequence, now it does.  OFC I didn't "change into my children".....but........where the hell does that come from in the first place? Do I even want to know...or will it be more of this?

You -started- with loon semantics..and haven't stopped.  Yes, species adapt.  Being replaced by better adapted members is -how- that species adapts. This is natural selection..part of the process we call evolution.

Then a  species is not the sum total of members matching a genetic blueprint or a phenotype.  Your bucket is broken.

A straight up loon non-seq.  Your brain is broken, Benny..not evolutionary biology, not the evolutionary process, not the gene pool, not the classification of species, and not my bucket.  

If you put your bucket over your head, would you claim that the world got dark?  Or would you say-- nothing's just, I just can't see the same things because my perspective is now inside a bucket?

I think that you might want to put a bucket over your head for shame.........

I find it impossible to put up with this much idiocy from you, man, lol. I have higher standards for you than for any of the random evolution objecting loons we get. They have a god affliction, their objections are a symptom of their condition.
