HIV patients told by Pentecostal pastors 'to rely on God'

[Esquilax]

In your analogy the 'polar bear's environment' has changed thus requiring adaptation in order for the species to continue. In the case of the "elite controller" the enviorment does not change. yet the virus mutates into a weaker form allowing the body to recover from it. If this happens over and over, that strain will go the way of the dodo, or so says your prophet Darwin.

Yes, the strain might die out, but the thing is, your "survival of the fittest" idiocy a few pages back isn't right at all: evolution selects for traits that aren't sufficiently disadvantageous to lead to death, not just for advantageous traits. So long as this weaker strain can still survive- over successive generations, not just individual cases- then it will persist, whether there's a better strain out there or not.

It's the same reason we humans have spinal nerves better suited to quadrupedal, hunched over walking; it's actually highly disadvantageous for us, but because it's not outright killing us, it persists.

But, this strain seems to be doing just fine as cases of it have been so numerous 'science' could no longer ignore it, and had to not only document it but come up with some cock and bull story as to why thee cases keep coming up. (Other than answered prayer.)

The real answer is, surprise surprise, you don't know anything about evolution, yet you decided to spout off on it anyway.

How does this differ from your catch all? Why is your catch all term permitted, and ours is deemed a social blaspheme?

Because you're being an idiot, and misrepresenting what's actually happening: scientists don't just blindly accept miracle claims because there's never once been a recorded instance of one that didn't later turn out to be something else. Moreover, you seem to just be pissed that we look for what actually happened, rather than just accepting your claims sight unseen.

I know investigation must be scary to a person happy to accept "godidit" as an answer to everything, but that doesn't mean there's some blind hostility to your unsubstantiated bullshit. Just the usual level of skeptical disbelief until you can demonstrate it to be true.

Which you still haven't done, by the way.
