Fuzzy Logic and the Definition of Species

The definition of "species" is a confusing and nebulous one. Creationists have the wrong idea about it--and so do many other people. This video uses the Computer Science concept of "Fuzzy Logic" to illustrate a better way of thinking about them.

@Wanda7771 Lucy is NOT IN ANY WAY fake, and Nebraska Man was a mistake that EVOLUTIONARY SCIENTISTS corrected.

I warned you. MULTIPLE TIMES. Have fun in the bit-bucket; your LIES will never sully my channel again.

@fringeelements Only YT atheists? Your weird racial theories have a constituency of one. The reason most people that understand evolution aren't racists is that we now know most humans have common ancestors that are very recent and coupled with our long lifespans we have comparatively few generations.

That is why science backs up the idea that people should be evaluated by their actions and not presorted based on some 19th century Lamarckian view of Evolution.

@fringeelements "and that there's no clear line between one race and another."

There isn't.

"Now the creationist goes on to say this proves evolution didn't happen"

It doesn't. Evolution PREDICTS this.

"but they're both making a continuum fallacy."

It's NOT a fallacy, because the continuum EXISTS!

[fringeelements]

I know. I'm just saying that YT atheists make the same kind of error by saying that because races are on a gradient, they're trivial, and that there's no clear line between one race and another. Now the creationist goes on to say this proves evolution didn't happen, while the YT atheist goes on to say this proves races don't exist, so the conclusions and scales are different, but they're both making a continuum fallacy.

@Wanda7771 About that, if you don't want to talk about it, you don't need to comment. You don't see me on a creationist channel or some body's church arguing about evolution; that suggests to me you were looking for an argument-and you found one.

[dj092768]

@Wanda7771 Yep, you keep coming up with isolated incidences. Let's just ignore the THOUSANDS of genuine transistional species so we can pretend magic man poofed everything into existance

Irony alert. How about before posting again actually reading the articles you post.

evolutionists in here desparately grabbing for straws.
