I already explain in my previous post that all species are unique. You are breaking up open doors and try to make a point where there is no point to make. Taxonomy for dummies: All panthers are cats but not all cats are Panthers. Some cats are felines . All lions are panthers, but not all...

Not to mention that, according to Svante Paabo's research, human DNA is "contaminated" with about 3-5% Neanderthal DNA, which from a genetic point of view is roughly equal to have a neanderthal as grand-grand parent (4-5 generations away). The point is that evidence shows that humans and...

I could write quite a long respond trying to explain your misuse of terminology and misconception about primates above. However, based on what you written above, I doubt you even read my post. If you did, then you possible cannot have understood it or you simply ignored everything what I wrote...

Every species is unique - that is why we call them species in the first place. In fact almost every organism is unique, slight different from their parents, all nested into an observed hierarchy known as the tree of life. (For the record, this is caused by a basic evolutionary mechanism...

I think they will get it now. :-D Nevertheless, I have not seen that particular claim before, but it would not amaze me if creationist did use it. It is a certain kind of intellectual gymnastic one must perform in order to deny all and every evidence in biology. Ignorance (read: not to check...

I doubt ignorant, illiterate Americans (read: creationists) know where France is, even less where Lyon and Marseille is, since it is not mentioned in the Bible. :-D

Yep, keep on living in your fantasy world of denial....

You may want to take a look at this post. It takes a little different angle to the whole issue on a broad general level without messing around with all the details but at the same time it brings up a concepts that runs like a red thread though all of life. They key words to remember is nested...

Odd... one may had thought people would know better. But illiteracy does not amazes me any more. I once asked a guy how much genetic alike he would estimated man and chimpanzee respectively man and pig would be. For chimpanzee he guestimated 50% and pig even less. I think he said 30% or so. He...

Thank for pointing this out to me, a bit embarrassing this I have to admit. I have tried to locate a posted date, but I do not see any date when things been posted and have simply assumed the top post to be the most recent. (Apparently I have not check carefully enough - if you can hint me where...

Have you taken in consideration that the problem may not be the other person but the method you are using? Since you ask the question I assume you do, however if they have clearly stated that they will not be convinced no matter what you say then there is no point in trying to convince them. So...

One can not ask someone to read before they learned the alphabet. A possibility is that you may be dealing with ignorance of basic scientific knowledge in combination with overconfidence in own abilities (check out the Dunning-Kruger effect). We all suffer from this to a more or lesser extent...

They would be better of to live their life as bacterias then. :-D Seriously did they really say genes or did they mean modified genes?

Not eating rise cause some people to die. Therefore, not eating rise is a bad thing. Second point to make here: That rice has that effect is a pure speculation from you based on that a certain molecule interact in a certain way with certain cells under certain condition, i.e. under controlled...

What is new is not that a living beings genes is affected by what it eats but what that chemical soup we call nutrients actually contains and how it affect use. However this is not a static property. Life is dynamic and there has always exists an arms race between being eaten and resist being...

Hi Foks, I am Jomen112, male, 44 years old born Swede but living in Amsterdam/The Netherlands since the past 10 years. Got a youtube account with the same name. First heard about League of Reason at youtube and if I recall right it was from one of thunderf00ts videos. Been thinking for a...
