Yes, have a good night Intelligent Design, Matt...have a good day... | |

There is evidence that the Fibonacci series does appear across various parts of nature, and in scientific areas. The unanswerable question of course is whether it was by deliberate design by a third party or parties unkown, or simply by evolution where the most fittest survive. If you sat down with a sheet of blank paper to design a planet, you might to decide to base that design upon a set theme. Sounds a bit like the Norwegian Fiords in HHGTTG but you know what I mean. | |

Fair enough, how about it denotes Design? I think with other evidence, related and unrelated it's a darn good start. | |

The plural of anecdote is not data. Noticing a pattern in nature does not suggest "Design" (with a capitol D); its merely similar to how we recognize faces in strange patterns. Its an interesting observation, but until we have more data, drawing such a strong conclusion from it would be too presumptuous. | |

I always remember when doing the Open Univesity many years ago, learning about the famous Galapagos finches. There the most suitable for the environment survived to breed with their particular attributes. Some needed long slender bills to pick insects from rock crevices, Others needed short stouter beaks to crack nuts and shells. | |

There you go -- sounding like a Bain Capital sort of guy <giggle> I never liked the term Survival of the fittest. | |

I never liked the term Survival of the fittest. All of the Galapagos finches came from the same basic stock, so they were all just as capable of adapting to the particular environment that they individually found themselves in. Those that were the most suited to the conditions of their life, survived to breed on. | |

Perhaps some here think I don't believe in Darwin? | |

I don't believe in what was done to his work after his death. Neo-Darwinism, isn't correct. So you don't believe in DNA. Okay. ____________ | |

I don't believe in what was done to his work after his death. Neo-Darwinism, isn't correct. Oh, I believe in DNA. Last year I seen with my own eyes a sparrows [English import kind] eating off the fronts of cars in parking lots. Cars haven't been around but about 100 years and only about 50 of them years at speeds to smash bugs on the fronts of them. Id say thats rather fast for the evolutionary process. Neo-Darwinism postulates that natural selection acts on---heritable (genetic) variations "on individuals" in populations and that mutations (especally random copying errors in DNA) give us the main source of these genetic variations. Because positive mutations "appear" to be rare, Neo-Darwinism tells us that evolution will be a slow, gradual process. Neo-Darwinism is also called the Modern Synthesis. Odd that Neo-Darwinism blends Darwin with DNA and yet objects to my blending of science and Faith. Darwin had no real proof that he was on the correct track, no more proof then I. So, then it was taken on fiath that Darwin was correct right up till we found DNA? Ah, but I do have that Faith Gene as my hold out card for trump, might not be the last trump care either... | |

I don't believe in what was done to his work after his death. Neo-Darwinism, isn't correct. I think you don't understand evolution. What you describe is a learned behavior. It isn't that the beak of the bird has changed shape to better pick bugs off a windshield, which would be evolution.

Where do you get this will be slow? Look up Mendelian genetics. It didn't take centuries for those sweet peas to have different color blooms. I think your assumptions are showing. ____________ | |

Look what has happened to the wolf since we intervened. Or more specifically just look at the dog breeds that we shaped in just 200 years. | |

Yes, have a good night Intelligent Design, Matt...have a good day... If that is true it is either incompetent or malevolent. That is as clear as the glasses on your face. ____________ Unvarnished Haaretz Jerusalem Post The origin of the Yahweh Cult | |

There is evidence that the Fibonacci series does appear across various parts of nature, and in scientific areas. The unanswerable question of course is whether it was by deliberate design by a third party or parties unkown, or simply by evolution where the most fittest survive. If one wishes to make an issue of this series then one must also explain all the series not found in nature at the same time. A hits out of millions is not unexpected. And in making claims for Fibonacci series one has to address the correct use of the word ALMOST describing its fit before going further. Almost means it is not a mathematically exact fit but rather one good enough for government work. If you sat down with a sheet of blank paper to design a planet, you might to decide to base that design upon a set theme. Sounds a bit like the Norwegian Fiords in HHGTTG but you know what I mean. If one were to design a planet it is best to start off with Ringworld and then change the laws of nature so that it is stable. As in Time Bandits it would be better to start with with computers on day one along with several other good ideas. It is at best malevolent to design in disease, suffering and death. That is just sadistic. Maybe the designer is a sadist. It never said it was a nice god. Its sales staff said that. ____________ Unvarnished Haaretz Jerusalem Post The origin of the Yahweh Cult | |
