Agreed. Were those ideas the ideas of professional evolution biologists? Since I asked for quotes from professionals in the field and you said you didn't intend to get information from the professional, I assumed that you were not debating the theory of evolution. Are you now saying that you intend to debate the theory?
I don't see much way to prevent you from assuming whatever you want to assume.
And I don't see much way to prevent you from avoiding a direct answer to a question.
What I have done was to demonstrate that harmful mutations must accumulate at a far faster pace than beneficial mutations, even if one grants every benefit of doubt to the evolutionist cause. The only doubt I do not grant is 100% automatic selection when a fitness change of less than 100% is involved.
No you haven't. You have merely claimed that harmful mutations accumulate faster than beneficial ones.
You claim that harmful mutations must necessarily be passed on to the next generation at a greater rate than beneficial mutations. Yet you fail to define or at least provide the theory of evolution's definition of harmful and beneficial mutations. You also have not shown any study, paper, or book by anyone in the field of biology or genetics that states harmful mutations even occur at a higher rate than beneficial ones much less remain in the population at higher percentages.
Have you given me any reason to think my conclusion is erroneous? Certainly not.
You conclusion is erroneous only if your premise is erroneous. Prove the premise and then we'll see about the conclusion.
You and LindaLou have instead insisted I must provide proof of trivial, commonly-known facts. You practice the art of refuting an argument by never addressing it. Such as are fooled by this technique cannot be helped much by the likes of myself. They have no interest in facts and are not concerned with science or truth.
I did address the facts of your premise which you have not shown are true facts. If these "facts" of yours are so "commonly-known" then you should have no problem providing documentation of such from someone that works in the field of evolution biology.
If you like, I can demonstrate that even professional evolutionists misunderstand 'natural selection'.
Ah! I love the smell of a good quote mine in the morning.
Not a very direct response. I shall proceed at my own convenience. [/quote]You've never shown any likelyhood of doing otherwise.
