I never seen in any textbook that smaller is necessarily simpler in all situations. It's relative when it comes to cellular life. Often single celled life forms are generally regarded as simpler compared to the multi-cellular life forms. That certainly doesn't mean that the single celled life...
Opinion:
Miller-Urey type experiments (or primordial "soup" hypotheses in general) have little to say about abiogenesis, except as to disprove the old "chicken and egg" problem of needing life in order to get organic compounds like amino acids (organic compounds used to be defined explicitly as...
Me calling you (a troll) out for trolling, isn't the same as you wishing a painful death upon someone's mother.
In fact, I would say that I was very reserved by just calling you a troll and not a horrible fucking person troll.
I have learned biology ever since I started high school... my books talked a lot about organisms consisting of "cells" but I was very confused when I learned that there were no prison inmates present in my own body.
Can't even point out what I said was childish and/or stupid.
You just did :rolleyes:
Also, good you're banned.
Now go back and hide in your little cave you sad troll.
Based on your replies, I assume that you are not willing to answer any of my questions.
I am okay with that, but I would rather you say it explicitly so I don't have to make this inference based on the pattern of your behavior.
Because that would be the honest thing to do.

I have yet to receive answers to my questions as well...
...or do you think anyone who is asking questions to you is a an "unreasonable, condescending, egotistical, narcissistic asshole"?
What makes you think those two are mutually exclusive? In fact, those two are pretty much intertwined. He...
I am not asking to lay out your whole world view, I am asking you to address the "phylogeny challenge".
It's relevant, because we are talking about the phylogeny challenge, were you need to demonstrate how to determine whether a set or species are all related or not.
You said that you believe...
I think you overlooked the most important part
Like you have given us what you believe.
You believe dogs and wolves are related, and that it is very possible that they are also related to other canids like Coyotes, foxes , dingoes, and African wild dogs.
You also believe that the transition...
I previously mentioned the Segreto and Deigin papers on the lab origin hypothesis for the virus, but here is Potholer again tackling the same paper and more.
Yeah, I didn't see that correction before I made the post.
I don't understand what you mean by this, nor why this indicates that the specific set-up of the vertebrate eye is "not just an accient" as opposed to being the product of phylogenetic constraints.
Oh, no, you misunderstand. Although...
Oh yes, I meant to say that the way different light frequencies refract from the lens, thereby ending up at different focal points (which causes chromatic aberration).
from paper: https://www.pnas.org/content/113/29/8206 (see how different wavelenghts are focued on different places on the...
