The "Children First" Rule of Evolution

-
What do you have when you only have evidence for the "parents" well after the "children" have been scurrying about and no evidence BEFORE the children showed up?

Tiktaalik.

That's right- Tiktaalik is the poster child for the new evolutionary postulate "children species can show up before their parent species".

And that is part of the evolutionary solution of "just say anything and if you get questioned just start throwing around false accusations until you have completely messed up the discussion", ie Rule 1 in the pocket version of the evotard "How to Debate" manual.

    "That's right- Tiktaalik is the poster child for the new evolutionary postulate "children species can show up before their parent species". "

    Goodness you are dense. It simply confirms what we already know, that 'parent' and 'child' species can be around at the same time. In fact - 'child species' can even go extinct before the parent.

    Try to understand, if you can, that fossils are individuals representative of a species that is around for a period of time, than neither begins with or ends with the date that is the age of the fossilized remains, unless you find the very first or very last one of its type.

    Richtard,

    In this case there isn't any evidence that the alleged parent is older than the alleged childre.

    The evidence has the children older than the parents.

    Try to keep up.

     

  • At 2:33 PM, Blogger Rich Hughes said…

    "The evidence has the children older than the parents."

    The evidence being two fossils, that each represent a species that exists in a large continuum of time?

    Do you do much critical thinking? If you see a horse and cart, do you conclude cars can't yet exist?

    IDIOT.

    RichTard:

    The evidence being the children have been found in rocks over 390 million years old and Tiktaalik being found in rocks 375 million years old and no evidence for a fish to tetrapod transition earlier than that.

    Then add to that there isn't any genetic evidence that demonstrates such a transition is even possible.

    1) They didn't find Tiktaalik
    2) Schubin is astronomically lucky
    3) Joe doesn't understand what's going on.

    I will go with the scientist over the evotard loser.

     

  • At 8:38 AM, Blogger Rich Hughes said…

    What data was faulty? NONE. The creatures where around at the times described. You seem to have issues with the logic, but that's because you can't understand that species exist and co-exist across a continuum of time. To think you have scientific consensus is laughable. I doubt any biologist also holds your idiotic views.

    We laughed at Luskin, we laugh at you.

     

  • At 8:52 AM, Blogger Joe G said…

    RichTard:
    What data was faulty?

    I told you already- SEVERAL TIMES.

    The data he had placed the transition of fish to land-animal between 385-365 million years ago. The new data placed the transition much earlier.

    RichTard:
    The creatures where around at the times described.

    Yet the creature(s) he was looking for existed much earlier than he thought.

    Richtard:

    Fuck you- I have never said, thought nor implied such a thing.

    Because there STILL isn't any genetic data which links to the transformations required.

  • At 2:38 PM, Blogger CBD said…

    Joe,
    I have also proven that evolution doesn't equal universal common ancestry.

    How can evolution produce anything other then a nested hierarchy, in the main?

    Latest intel says it's more like a tangled bush at the roots but universal common ancestry is doubted by no serious scientist.

    Even Behe, who in The Edge of Evolution says:

    The same mistakes in the same gene in the same positions of both human and chimp DNA. If a common ancestor first sustained the mutational mistakes and subsequently gave rise to those two modern species, that would very readily account for why both species have them now. It's hard to imagine how there could be stronger evidence for common ancestry of chimps and humans.
    "That strong evidence from the pseudogene points well beyond the ancestry of humans. Despite some remaining puzzles, [11] there's no reason to doubt that Darwin had this point right, that all creatures on earth are biological relatives.",

    What is your evidence against common descent?

    Tiktaalik was only discovered at all because common descent was assumed. Otherwise they would not know where to look - who can predict where "the designer" would implement the next stage in the incremental design sequence from sea to land.

    Non-sequitur but we wouldn't expect evolution to produce a nested hierarchy- transitional forms and all.

    Unfortunately not one of thsoe scientist has any data which suppoirts their claim.

    They don't even know what makes an organism wha it is and there isn't any data that says an organism is the sum of its genome.

    Shared mistakes is hardly evidnce for it- so you need to start with positive evidence.

    It would have been discovered regardless- all it would tke is someone digging around in tha area.

    I think it's very relevant Joe.

    After all, there are many species of "fish" out there, each will have different genes to any other type.

    Whereas if we apply your question to the specific baramin then we don't need to worry about all the different species of fish, just the baramin you identify for me.

    But anyway pick any species you want and tell me the genes that make it a fish.

    But I know that any data I might produce would also be compatible with baraminology and as such what will it prove?

    I mean, is this "fish" you speak of in a Monobaramin? A Apobaramin? A Polybaramin?

    It would be much more productive for you to simple name the baramin you believe that "fish" belong to and we can take it from there.

    Joe G: What do you have when you only have evidence for the "parents" well after the "children" have been scurrying about and no evidence BEFORE the children showed up?

    That's not correct. The parents are fish, the grandchildren are tetrapods. Fish existed long before tetrapods. But there are still fish today.

    Your concern seems to be that the earliest known fossil of a fishopod came after the earliest evidence of tetrapods. However, when dealing with a transition that happened hundreds of millions of years ago, and relying upon fragmentary fossil evidence, we can't always reconstruct the exact sequence.

    It's like having just a few photographs. You might have the wedding picture of the grandparents, Mr. & Mrs. Fish, a picture of the childless Uncle Tiktaalik (who lived a very long time) with the offspring of his sister (the little tetrapods).

    The fact is that the existence of a fishopod was predicted from the Theory of Common Descent. They could even exist today, but they don't. They may have existed a million years ago, but left no fossils, but this is unlikely. Nevertheless, the Theory of Common Descent says they existed sometime between the origin of tetrapods and today. As no one had ever found such a species, they went extinct sometime after tetrapods came into existence. But they still may have been around for millions of years. Again, the evidence is fragmentary. So a good place to look for a close relative would be near the point of divergence.

    Whatever the case, scientists, like do things. Like stake years of their lives looking for evidence. So unlike ID.

    Zacho:

    Liar- that "theory" didn't predict fish.

  • At 10:38 AM, Blogger CBD said…

    Joe,
    Liar- that "theory" didn't predict fish.

    A is observed. C is observed. Therefore B is predicted by the Theory of Common Descent.

    The specific form of A,B and C is not predicted. That would be absurd. Given A and B the form of C can be predicted, whatever form A and B actually take.

    But I note that Zacho actually said this:
    The fact is that the existence of a fishopod was predicted from the Theory of Common Descent.

    I see nothing about a prediction regarding "fish" which is what you claimed. Here fishopod = B.

     

  • At 11:47 AM, Blogger Zachriel said…

    Joe G: My concern is what Shubin said, nothing else.

    Well, he said he was looking for something that had intermediate characteristics that would constitute a close relative per the Theory of Common Descent. That's what he said, and that's what he found.

    Contrariwise, IDers never find or do anything.

    Zachriel: The fact is that the existence of a fishopod was predicted from the Theory of Common Descent.

    Joe G: that "theory" didn't predict fish.

    Please read more carefully. We didn't say fish, but fishopod, an organism with intermediate characteristics, especially with regard to wrist, neck and ribs.

    Zachriel: Fish existed long before tetrapods.

    Joe G: Except you don't know that.

    If you are that confused, then fishopods are a minor issue. In any case, Ostracoderms date from about 500 million years ago.

    Ya see Shubin found Tiktaalik, a fishapod in strata that is younger than the strata in which tetrapod tracks were found in.

    No one has ever found a fishapod before the new date for tetrapods.

    So we have found fish before tetrapods, then we have found evidence for tetrapods, and after that we have the evidnce for fishapods.

    EvoTards, so ignorant...

    "As I said there isn't any genetic evidence that such a transformation is even possible."

    RichTard:
    Erm. okay..what 'genetic evidence' would you accept?

    Show us what you have- MAKE YOUR CASE.

    I say no one has any idea what makes an organism what it is. And according to researchers there isn't any evidence that an organism is the sum of its genome.

    Evo-devo has been a bust.

    What evidence will I accept? Something other than a "just-so" story would be a good start.

    "So we have found fish before tetrapods, then we have found evidence for tetrapods, and after that we have the evidnce for fishapods."

    But you're conceptually fine with them all being 'round at the same time, right?

    "Except that doesn't follow from what I said. Also what I said applies to EVERYONE."

    It does follow. Your objection - "Don't know- nobody knows. Ya see it all depends on how the earth was formed", whilst grotesquely presupposing the mindstate of others is basically a rehashing or (Gasp!) creationist "where you there?". What a surprise! But you're not intellectually honest enough to apply the same yardstick to other things you hold an opinion on.

    "Show us what you have- MAKE YOUR CASE."

    It SO easy to see your creationist underpants. You don't want to be pinned to to a statement of what you'd find acceptable, because there's a good chance science may find it, and that would force more mental contortions as you try and reconcile between your holy book and reality.

    What would be acceptable to you? If you can't answer it, then the answer is nothing - and you're a closed minded creationist.

    Yes Rich and I have been over and over that alrady.

    "Except that doesn't follow from what I said. Also what I said applies to EVERYONE."

    RichTard:

    No, it doesn't. And besides it is obvious that I know more than you.

    Wrong again, as usual.

    RichTard:

    Noce projection you proven intellectual coward.

    "Show us what you have- MAKE YOUR CASE."

    RichTard:

    It is sooo easy to see that you are a piece of shit coward who couldn't support its position if its life depended on it.

    RichTard:
    What would be acceptable to you?

    SOMETHING, ANYTHING, WHICH DEMONSTRATES THE TRANSFORMATIONS REQUIRED ARE EVEN POSSIBLE.

    Stop whining and get to work.

    To date you have produced absolutely NOTHING.

    No one on this planet knows what makes an organism what it is, so by RichTard's "logic" no one on this planet can have an opinion on universal common descent.

    Thanks Rich- is that what you were shooting for?

    1- It isn't an objection, it is reality

    2- No presupposing the mindset of anyone as what I said is a FACT

    3- No need to be there to come to an understanding of how something came to be the way i is.

    IOW Rich, once again yiou prove that you are an ignorant asshole.

    Evidence STILL says:

    But you said there was no evidence that fish preceded tetrapod!!

    No, I didn't- YOU have serious reading comprehension issues.

    Oh, you mean like selective breading?

     

  • At 11:17 AM, Blogger Joe G said…

    There isn't any evidence that any breeding can account for the transformations required.

    Try again.

    "There isn't any evidence that any breeding can account for the transformations required."

    Okay, let's unpack this. Can it account for any transformations?

    "SOMETHING, ANYTHING, WHICH DEMONSTRATES THE TRANSFORMATIONS REQUIRED ARE EVEN POSSIBLE."

    Be specific, give examples, creationist.

    Rich:

    Why are you fishing? You should just present what you have and go from there.

    But you won't because you don't have anything to speak of and this is the only tactic you have.

    Coward.

    Umm THAT is YOUR job.

    To start you need evidence that mutations can take a fish fin and turn it into the robust forearm of tiktaalik, then onto tetrapod limbs.

    And you also need know what it is that makes an organism what it is.

    Good luck...

    It's my job to tell you what you'll accept?

    You creationists never commit to or do anything. You even what others to calculate CSI for you!

    No it's your job to support the claims of your position yet you never have because you are a coward.
