Can anyone imagine small incremental steps leading from a steam engine to an internal combustion engine. Of course not, even though they share common parts, and similar functions. There are no intermediates steps leading to modern car motor from a steam engine. Similarly there are no intermediate steps in the evolution of the eye, but massive steps from one design to another. Evolution is pseudoscience.
Another evo has taken the bait. Miller takes away not 1 but 40 parts, leaving only 10 parts. And this is a good argument for you. Clearly you are a not a rational thinker. So assuming the fragellum motor has 50 parts as Miller has implied. A good argument would be to show, a functioning bacterier with only 49 parts. THAT would be a good argument. But seeing as he removed 40, they have to be readded with your imagination. Evolution is pseudoscience.
I was saying... since there are an unfathomable number of bacteria and other organisms, especially taking in all those through the billions of years that have passed- HA even the number that would exist in a fictional 6000 year old Neo-Biblical worldview every so often there is a mutation that may result in the nub that is the start of a tail.It doesn't need "purpose," only that ones with that mutation were able to mate or survive and go through mitosis or whatever they do. Eventually u hv tails
Well, I don't think Jaguar explains how these could evolve properly. I did enjoy the video but he lets his words fly speedy at an irregular pace. But really, thanks for posting these. I get the main point.
The religious who push off sleazy, false versions of science always stir up this sort of confusion. Behe assumes, or at least puts forth that each part develops on its own and wouldn't if a nub had no function. Mutation doesn't work that way. Mutations happen regardless so some nubs...
It's been my experience that most people who insult "Ishtar" haven't even seen the thing. Sure, they went way beyond their budget, but it's a funny movie.
Did the T3ss evolve 1st or the flagellum? Did they evolve in parallel? Is the pathway known? To date the answers to these questions are-don't know,don't know and don't know. The only thing that is known is that they must have evolved. I would have have thought discovering how biological systems work is more beneficial than their origin. Pawned by more conjecture. The stronger the language you use,the weaker your argument.
finding a function for any sub-component of an irreducibly complex system does not disprove the irreducibility of the given system. back to the mousetrap example, the latch and the pressure-sensitive plate could be removed and the remaining system could still have function as a paperclip or a tieclip, for instance. so the argumentation presented here also fails on the same grounds.
basically, the type-iii secretion system argumentation is a strawman of what behe is talking about when he says irreducible complexity. if any component of the flagellum is removed, it will cease to function as a flagellum. if you read behe's writings, you'll see that he does not argue that the system's component parts are precluded from having seperate or independent functions.
'If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down.'
A system which meets Darwin's criterion is one which exhibits irreducible complexity. By irreducible complexity I mean a single system composed of several well-matched, interacting parts that contribute to the basic function, wherein the removal of any one of the parts causes the system to effectively cease functioning. (Michael Behe, Darwin's Black Box, pg. 39 (Free Press, 1996).)
I like how you're verbose and still manage to squeeze in a couple of jokes.
To anyone asking for the YEC manual; it's too big to be finished in the real world as a normal kind of book (as the number of pages exceeds 1.4*10^32) If it were to exist, you wouldn't live long enough to read it all. Even if it's in digital format, you still can't read all of it, let alone put it in practice.
It is a fun concept. I'd like a summary if possible though ;-)

YOU DARE TO TAKE THE HOLY FILM THAT IS ISHTAR INVAIN!?!?!?! YOU ARE A HEATHEN WHOSE BLASPHEMY WILL NOT BE TOLERATED BY ELAINE MAY! DUSTIN HOFFMAN AND WARREN BEATTY WILL GOUGE YOUR EYES OUT AND MAKE YOU WISH FOR DEATH YOU ISHTARLESS HEATHEN! And the pangolin will join in the fun as well.
I am getting sick of this crap. I am in the process of making a video that will PROOVE pangolins are tottally gay. I would finish and post it right now if I wasn't piss drunk.
Can you at least give me an idea on how the heck you came up with the idea in the first place?
You see, us lesser minds marvel at your excellence, and cannot grasp the idea of gay pangolins, although it surely is both flawlessly logical and relevant in every aspect. I will await your video with with great anticipation!
@JaguarJ0nes I think it´s DISGUSTING that you peddle this gay pangolin stuff. You´re degrading a serious point here. Pangolins have religion too, it´s totally unjust. I think you´re a gay, pervert pangolin fancier who is desperate to find love. Signed president, straight pangolin society (membership, 1)
But Behe isn't a YEC. He also accepts evolutionary theory, at least according to DonExodus2 and the correspondence he had with him. Behe is a denier of abiogensis, to be exact.
Irreducible complexity is still taken so seriously by many. Within a hundred years it will be remembered as a joke. Things people remember their grandparents rambleing about. In two hundred years it will be known only by scholars of failed religious arguements.
Def. Irreducible complexity: This is the complexity that we see. Stop researching there is no reason or way to use it to help humanity.
Mr Gap, Mr J0nes is correct and he is correct again. Do not lie for your friends. We know you indulge in Circle jerks all day long. Denying is lying. Do not lie, you little Pangolin.
When my bodily functions were correct to relax, as no medium of youtube could attribute to penile release, i was quite wrong, for my short shorts have came across the lack of colour evoked by light via cloudy grey discharge in said shorts.
You sir, have caused my washing machine 2 shillings extra usage
Pangolins are of homosexual orientation. Anyone who trys to refute these claims are liars. We are correct, sir.
You see... I wear the monicre of Gay with pride (NOT as in Parade!). In reality, we are Bi-ass Pangolins, as our species would be even further endangered were to make the jump completely to the otherside of the aforementioned fence. We are fence sitters, though, some of my species are fence-post sitters. They are revered.
I didn't understand the position of your species Mr GAP, oh no you didn't. I have only known said post sitter acquaintances. But i hold to firm belief that all Pangolins are homosexual. My case rests on the evidence of Anecdote, thus UNBREAKABLE. Check & mate. Can you play chess Mr Pangolin. I surely hope not.
Pangolins can't play chess because their little claws are too busy giving hand jobs to other pangolins. They are totally bsolutely, undeniably, positively, comprehensively, exhaustively, sweepingly, explicitly, factually, expressly, genuinely, unconditionally GAY!
I am NOT mated (yet... though were some special Pangolins in my time), NOR am I Zugzwanged! We are not ALL gay... just mostly. But we ARE all scaley! ANd yes! We are related to Armadillos and Ant eaters. Though we don't mention the Ant eaters at dinner... ant! Ich!!!
I will never believe a lying Pangolin, especially when your name is the only e-v-i-d-e-n-c-e i will ever need. Leave Mr 'dillo & Mr Eater out of said discussion. Your lies will get you nowhere Mr of Homosexual orientation.
Listen, Gay Assed Pangolins, like our little troll here, love their booze and drugs. Some times they stoned and inadvertently have heterosexual sex. This is not proof or even evidence that pangolins are not totally gay!
Bah, means nothing other than Pangolins are a-sexual, or at least have a system akin to a lot of the fish, it doesn't mean you're straight, and as said below "My case rests on the evidence of Anecdote, thus UNBREAKABLE", so since the fact that you all are gay is undeniable, you therefore must have a different way of creating young. And your lying add to the derision we feel for pangolins!
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all Pangolins are created equal."
I have a dream that one day on the green hills of Malay the sons of formerly gay Pangolins will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the scales on their back but by the length of their tongues!
