Re: Can Mutation Invent?

DB, your last post requires an extensive reply that will take some time to write. I don’t have much time now so I postpone that for a while. In the meantime I would like to comment an issue that we have discussed here and in the thread Why is God invisible. For instance, you say in #35 in that threa...

Re: Can Mutation Invent?

Let me try to break it down again I tried to formalise your argument a bit to be able to examine your argument in detail and you admitted that up to number 5 it was “so far so good”, but when I try to examine the last step, instead of argue you starts from the beginning again. A bit tiresome. But, ...

Re: Can Mutation Invent?

I discuss the empirically observed rate of point mutations (which occur much more frequently and are much more 'selectable' than insertions which are required to add new information) here http://discussions.godandscience.org/viewtopic.php?p=252631&sid=727ca973820554d995a83af357a74538#p252631 If...

Re: Can Mutation Invent?

How about we let Behe explain. Here is a paper that he wrote on the topic EXPERIMENTAL EVOLUTION, LOSS-OF-FUNCTION MUTATIONS, AND “THE FIRST RULE OF ADAPTIVE EVOLUTION” http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.185.1732&rep=rep1&type=pdf From the Conclusion Behe also discusse...

Re: Can Mutation Invent?

I listened to the video clip with Behe but I don't understand. He refers to an experiment with the bacteria E. coli that was studied for 30 years. He comments at 4.50 :"there were no molecular machines, no new genes and yet it had so many chances evolutionary theory would have predicted you ge...

Re: Why is God invisible to me?

The main ID thesis is that some features aren't possible to get without interference of a God. Who can falsify such a proposition at the current state of knowledge in genetics. Bingo! The current state of genetics can't falsify the proposition, because the current state of genetics actually support...

Re: Why is God invisible to me?

I understand that you refer to The Discovery Institute all the time because they have a view you like but to me it's just a small lobbying group with a special agenda. If you truly believe that propaganda about the Discovery Institute, then that speaks volumes about why you are unable to see eviden...

Re: Why is God invisible to me?

This isn't good evidence to me that God has intervened in the creation as IC states, evidence that he exists. Why didn't God make his existence more clear to me? Your question is actually two separate questions... 1. Has God made evidence of his existence clear to mankind? The answer is yes he has....

Re: Why is God invisible to me?

Nils: Why didn't God make his existence more clear to me? Because, according to Scripture, God asserts His existence to already be abundantly obvious to all who sincerely want to know. AND He says the determined unbeliever has willfully blinded himself by suppressing the truth about Him. A heart an...
