Evolution Fossils, Genes and Mousetraps 1-9

Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) 2006

Lecture features Kenneth R. Miller, an Evolutionary Biology Professor at Brown University. Miller obtained his Ph.D in Biology from the University of Colorado in 1974, is a contributing author to a series of Pretince Hall Biology textbooks, and the author of the following books dealing with finding common ground and reconciling evolution and religion in today's society.

In this lecture Ken Miller discusses the controversy surrounding the teaching of evolution, presents compelling evidence for evolution and reasons why "intelligent design" is not scientific.

Very informative lecture!

I'd recommend anyone with questions concerning evolution to see what Ken Miller has to say. Very knowledgeable and pleasant fellow!

@agentorange20 Cont. There is not 1 "transition" that the evolutionists themselves agree on. They just find this or that fragment, maybe even a full skeleton and start telling us, with the faith based magical thinking typical of evolution, that they KNOW its a transitional form and they KNOW that its invisible descendants' invisible descendants (how do you tell a missing link from a never existed one?) leave invisible dots to us. And they call that science. Ida ain't your great etc. grammaw.

@agentorange20 Cont. No other possiilities are considered. Courts fights are led by people like Miller so that no one can speak about the problems of evolution. 3. Incomplete Comparison Fallacy. For ex., you say embryonic development shows we came from apes. If so, what is it? More of Correlation Does Not Imply Causation logical fallacy? Humans are 100% human from the zygote on. Where are the fossils showing ape to man (or anything to anything else)? They have a few paltry fossils. Cont.

@agentorange20 Evolution is based on speculation presented as data, and many logical fallacies. When you compare us to chimps based on "common" this & that you use several of them. 1. Correlation Does Not Imply Causation. We already knew people & apes have some similarities. That does not provide any evidence we came from them. Bee, birds & bats fly, snakes & worms slither. Tobacco & chimps have 48 chromosomes. Correlation Does Not Imply Causation. 2. Fallacy of the Single Cause. Cont.

[Should not Charles Darwin be exhumed to see what progress has been made in his putrefaction? Even people is sweaters are partially nude.]

Part 2, has a different title - Evolution: Fossils, Genes, and Mousetraps 2-9 *

Hello fossil/ science lovers , I belong to the oldest fossil club in the USA . I have posted many of our beginners classes , field trips and paleontologist lectures.

If you type in "Cincinnati Fossils" or "Dry Dredgers" in the search engine you will see over 50 videos to choose from . I thought some of you might enjoy these so I'm passing this on .New videos posted every year !

@afar1 maybe your god caused it? i dont think so by why be so ignorant about the theory you know nothing not even the definition of theory

[gregrutz]

The universe is expanding at an expanding rate.

And there is so much evidence of evolution it is accepted as fact, and there is a theory to explain how it happened.

Actually, the catalog page says "If you are outside North America, videotapes are not available, and DVDs and CD-ROMs can be ordered only by written request."
