Evolution is REAL Science #2

Basic biochemistry combined with cutting-edge molecular research leads us to a powerful explanation of a large set of biological observations. These observations only make sense using the REAL science of evolution.

How does this prove common ancestry?????

Genetic similarity doesnt necessarily imply common ANCESTRY, but could easily imply a common DESIGNER.

Refuted.

[standup4REALscience]

This video clearly demonstrates that common ancestry can be used to generate predictions concerning what should be found in the genetic material of species.

But genetic similarity is only part of the prediction. Shared derived characters (like the premature stop codon) are predicted due to inheritance from common ancestors.

"Common design" cannot be used to make such predictions and is therefore impossible to refute. It could be used to rationalize away any observation, just as you have done.

""Common design" cannot be used to make such predictions and is therefore impossible to refute. It could be used to rationalize away any observation, just as you have done"

You accuse me of "God of the gaps", while you at the same time use the "Evolution of the gaps" fallacy.

Tell me why "Common design" cannot be used to make predictions....

[standup4REALscience]

A supernatural cause can be used to explain any and all observations. Unless you are willing to put limitations on what God can and cannot do, then any observation could be deemed consistent with the notion of "common design" because God is capable of both suspending and acting in accord with the laws of nature.

[standup4REALscience]

Consider the predictions generated from common ancestry that are described in this video. Notice how the prediction is derived from the mechanism of change (inheritance from common ancestors) that is purported to have caused the patterns in the DNA evidence. If such patterns were not found, it would be evidence against common ancestry.

Provide a similar prediction using "common design." Be sure that it is actually generated from the purported way in which the designer interacts with nature.

Why are children SIMILAR to their parents, and siblings? It's just common sense, as you know. Darwin pointed out that the ONLY KNOWN reason for similarity amongst organisms is relatedness. genetics (unavailable to darwin) confirm this principle beautifully, in LEGALLY BINDING PATERNITY TESTS. THE SAME PRINCIPLE shows up relatedness at a greater distance than parent/child. A father caught by a paternity test could say "Similar? Yes, but it doesn't prove ancestry!" Oh yes it does, in ALL courts!

Everything hasn't stopped evolving, you spanner.

Evolution rocks!

@khilty4344 Evolution is both a Fact and Theory .. based on 100% provable evidence before it can be called a Fact... science indeed is very very finite that way.. unlike all religions which or Faith based because indeed these beliefs are completely unprovable based on the supernatural rather than the natural world. If you where Ill would you not let a doctor cure you if it was proven by scientific evidence he could do so, or would you rather have a witch doctor or faith healer, .. ?

How exactly is this a beneficial mutation?

[khilty4344]

@gorilla199uncensored Say what you want but the Theory of evolution is just that, a theory accepted by many. Science has fallacies just like everything else. I suggest you do some reading b4 you try to negate anything based on the statement below. That is about a rudimentary as it gets and you could go in circles arguing both sides.

"It evolved not made of clay 6000 years ago!"

Have there been any discussions among the scientific community about the possibility of fixing this genetic disorder in the human race, thus allowing us to synthesize vitamin C again?

@doctorh2005 non active parts of the genome, why would the designer put non active dna in several species making it look like they are descended from a common ancester

[doctorh2005]

@MGsven

Why do u say that then?

[MGsven]

@doctorh2005 some crappy designer that must be

[gorilla199uncensored]

@khilty4344

"Word of God (Bible) "

So you just ignore everything the bible claims as science proves it wrong!

"how the human race came to be. "

It evolved not made of clay 6000 years ago!

"Fact is both sides have evidence "

LOL NO

Your god of the gaps is not evidence.
