I was enjoying this until the narrator busted out with the full frontal stupid at the end. His comment just smacked of the intellectually bankrupt "irreducible complexity" argument.

Why did the entire system need to be formed at once & fully? Irreducible complexity is like saying there can't be transistor radios because a desktop computer stops working if you take out the CPU. I have yet to see an example of an irreducible system that could not serve ANOTHER function if a part is deleted.

we actually do know how the system evolved

wow this is like 2 religon duking it out. I know that creationist use faith and fact to explain their point of view. I see that evolution is a religon too, becuse they use a lot of faith in what they cannot see. the religon of evolution... very interesting

And their digestive tracks weren't "fine tuned". Over thirty years they had turned omnivorous, steadily having plants become their main diet, as the plant fauna was easier and more plentiful food than insects. Their current diet consists 2/3 of plants. Give them another thirty years and they'd probably be herbivores.

Oh yeah, Omnivores is the in-between stage of Carnivores and Herbivores. Nothing amazing.

Actually, no. See, this is a well established field of science, and the things you are randomly throwing your ignorance at is a well established field of science. Burden of proof ain't on me.

Lizards can't develop on their digestive systems? Actually, yes they can. Scientists were fascinated, but not baffled, and the studies conducted afterwards easily got the recognition of the National science Foundation and many others. Went through peer-review well.

[otaku8489]

If you want to disagree with that, thats fine, but all it does is show the extent of your reasoning capacity.

So wanna answer any of my question?

[otaku8489]

@Hjernespreng

If you say so boss man. I know the lizards have been credited to evolution. But unfortunatly, it doesint work. Plain and simple. Once again they are making the observations fit the theory. The modern evolutionary synthesis cannot explain such perfectly fine tuned changes in lizards, in which an entire new structure is born, with which the lizards can use to better digest vegetables havin gbeen introduced to an island laden with them. Its just that simple.

@Hjernespreng

And I asked you for the context of your quote, not some cut-out.

Quote-mining is a fun little thing, and I take the word of pretty much all credible evolutionary biologists over the head of the HGP.

And again, you are just saying "HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN?? I DON'T KNOW! SO EVOLUTION DIDN'T DO IT!"

It is quite obvious here that your knowledge is simply limited, and you are basically filling in the blind spots with willful ignorance.

[Hjernespreng]

@otaku8489

Actually, it does have the capacity. However, YOU don't personally know how, therefore you say that it CAN'T explain it. That logic is CHILDISH at best, and willfully ignorant at worst.

However, what are you suggesting? You mention lizards, but give no further mention. What do you think it is then?

I think it is YOU having limited knowledge regarding Evolution. And yes, these lizards are well documented and their changes credited to Evolution.

[otaku8489]

Evolutionary biology simply has not got the capacity to explain many things in the natural world, its really that simple, and you saying NS and mutations did it is just blind faith with no proof.

I fyou think Im using creationist arguments, thats your problemk, not mine.

[otaku8489]

@Hjernespreng That link brought me nowhere.

Yeah ok, Id rather trust the head of the HGP than yourself if you dont.

Any chance you could answer any of my questions?

How is sperm equipped for an environment its never been in? Can natural selection see the future now?

How is there a chircadian cycle within all organisms........it evolved multiple seperate times perfectly not in tune with the sun, but to actually anticipate it.

Indeed DNA repar had to be present from the start

[Hjernespreng]

@otaku8489

Which evolved first? Let Richard Explain this one.

watch?v=Hi4OdrITkqY&feature=re­lated

Genetic mutations are usually either beneficial or neutral, rarely detrimental, and the ones that are get booted from the gene pool by NS.

You and I both undergo HUNDREDS of mutations. We ALL undergo(many) mutations. This separates us from our parents. RARELY are any of these negative.

Full context for the quote, please.

You are using a creationist argument, despite claiming not to be one. Odd.
