I know the discussion has drifted somewhat from the OP, but I'm happy to run with it... I watched this one today which must surely be a painful topic for anyone who believes in abiogenesis (but a blessing to those who do not!!)

I'm digging into this one at the moment - looks very interesting... "Replacing Darwin: The New Origin of Species." Since Darwin's "On the Origin of Species" was published in 1859, entirely new fields of science have been born and matured fields which hold the keys to the origin of species...

Barbarian "It is suggested that distinctions be made among morphological stratigraphic and stratomorphic intermediates, and among inter-specific, species, higher-taxon and series stratomorphic intermediates. Even at this early stage of development and with such significant challenges as the...

Which transition do you refer to?

The Tree of Life or the Orchard of Creation...

Sorry, Jim, I should have re-read my post - I meant the science section of the Daily Mail, not this forum ;-)

Mystery of how a tiny dandelion seed can fly up to 500 miles is solved by scientists who want to copy flight technique to make stealth DRONES https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-6286987/Mystery-tiny-dandelion-seed-fly-500-miles-solved.html I posted this up because half of the...

OK... Try the Bombardier beetle out with your analysis then... https://answersingenesis.org/creepy-crawlies/insects/bombardier-beetle-arsenal-insect/ The "evolutionary" shuffling towards completeness version of this creature would be more like a terrorist with a home made suicide vest!

I had a think about your response, one I might equally have made myself - "it assumes that Genesis was meant to tell us that method of God in how He created". I agree that Genesis may well give no indication of the HOW, but on the other hand, it may! Over the years I have heard and have...

I respectfully disagree on all points, Jim. I think we have different perspectives on scripture, truth and the nature and scope of science to debate this. If you start with different presuppositions you reach different conclusions. The examination of the real roots of those presuppositions are...

A more recent and in depth talk by the same speaker on the topic of the OP. This goes into greater scientific detail for anyone who is interested enough to dig deeper...

I found there was more to the Giraffe than met the eye:- https://creation.com/giraffe-neck-design

Barbarian I think as my main observation was on irreducible complexity, I can give you two competing perspectves to show you that I have considered things in more depth than you might expect. In support of the "irreducibility" claim... In attempted rebuttal to that claim... And as a...

Let me try a question on you then. I believe in variation, selective pressures, natural selection, isolation and speciation. Darwin's finches etc etc. What we have here are variations of within certain perameters. This is the kind of "evolution" we can observe all around us. What Evolution...

I was taught evolution at University by an English well qualified Christian professor who was a theistic evolutionist. At the same time I was reading (and watching) counter arguments from an equally well qualified Swiss professor of Biochemistry who was a young Earth creationist. As the...

A good playlist on dinosaur soft tissue:- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLT8IFvbAQauhju2i9_bU6HyEP2NVCaf4a

Lol - don't be hard on yourself! Some of the terms and the Latin are daunting, and yes, they are there for precision in description. Psychologically though, something intended for accurate communication between professionals can also be used to obfuscate meaning. When I started noticing this, I...

Scientist like to use terminology to shut out regular folk from the debate sometimes, or make their research sound more important! As far as this question of racemic mixing is concerned, it is simply like going into a big sock draw, full of loose socks in the dark, and expecting to get all...

A mixture of left and right handed amino acids in a protein. The Miller experiment which created amino acids was only able to form a racemic mixture (left and right handed versions of the simple amino acids it produced). Since this is the "Genesis" of evolutionary faith, it needs to be...

I once asked my Biochemistry professor if racemic life was possible, and what mechanism could have selected for "handedness" in chiral amino acids. She didn't answer very well, and avoided me after that. To prove a point I set out to (and got) the top grade on my degree course in the Evolution...
