Not true. If you go here and here you will see micah1116 using the quote option.

I am not sure why he is refusing to use it now.

I'm not seeing where you mentioned anything about chromosome 2, maybe I'm missing something??

Oh. Your. God.

I understand that you can't be bothered to read anything that he says... but you can at least click Ctrl + F, and type in Chromosome 2.

Wow...

micah1116 is probably the biggest piece of dishonest shit to ever post on this website. It is weird, because if he's religious then he should believe that being a lying piece of shit will send him straight to whatever hell his religion advocates. That's completely aside from the plagiarism, the stupidity, and the bone-headed inability to comprehend the basics of debate.

In other words, this is not shaping up to be one of the better debates. :lol:

Like the two previous debate prior to this ongoing one. Arguing with Micah is an exercise in futility.

Mod note:

A tad excessive, Joe. Tone it down. If you want to deride micah and his, eh, contributions, I'm sure you can be more creative than this - and less crude.

but you asked for a citation to my claim that we only have 14 out of the 98,000 that we share with apes are in the same location. Evolutionists claim that ERV's are in the same location because they are common ancestors, why aren't all of them in the same location? You even admitted that ERV's have a critical role in gene expression, they aren't viruses, they were designed for a purpose.

Ohh ohh I know this one, They are not all identical because we only share the ones that our last common ancestor passed down to us.

Imagine your grandfather aquires a characteristic which is passed down among his children, all of his children and their children will contain it, thus you would have it, however, is his sister did not have it her children would not contain it, so her offspring would not have it. Now while you would have to acknowledge that you are related to this people they are not as closely related to you as the ones which do contain the characteristic that your grandfather had.

Also the 14 out of 98,000 is a BS number, from my knowledge (and a CDK007 video) that number is at best just the K level retrovirus's and not a representation of all 98,000 of our ERV's

Thirdly, I find it hilarious that he seems to acknowledge that they exist but doesn't seem to understand that ERV stands for endogenous retro virus, with his comment that they are not virus, he's right that they are not virus's they are the remains of virus's, and that doesn't mean our body's can't incorporate some role (in times a critical role) from their addition.

Will you atleast attempt to refute meta information in DNA as being proof for design? I think the reason you are avoiding it, is because you know that it does indeed prove design. It's almost like a chicken and egg arguement.

I understand why Squawk does not want to de-rail this "debate" by discussing this, but how about if I try it.

The article is entitled "Meta-information: An impossible conundrum for evolution" and is written by Alex Williams.
Alex Williams said:
Evolutionists have never been able to give a satisfactory answer to the problem of where the new information comes from that evolution requires for turning a microbe into a myxomycete or a maze-mastering mammal.

This is the first sentence and it already starts with a lie. Since any new gene introduced into a genome would be considered new and the only information life deals with is DNA, a mutation of any sort would be new information being introduced.
Alex Williams said:
Their best guess is gene duplication (which gives them an extra length of DNA, but it contains no new information) followed by random mutations that are supposed to turn the duplicated information into something new and useful.

Best guess? This is another lie in the hopes that no one that knows anything about biology would ever see this article. We have observed new mutations in humans, which led to new and useful genes.
Alex Williams said:
They have no direct experimental evidence for this claim (and there is much against it1), so they have to rely on indirect evidence such as the so-called 'gene families'.

Again, another lie. A great example of this is the nylon-eating bacteria, which was first discovered in the wild and led later researchers to replicate what happened in the lab.

This came from the first three sentences of that article. I see no point in reading the rest of the article with this many mistakes to start with.

Micah1116 it seems your problem is that you simply refuse to see the evidence in front of your nose. You would much rather believe lies and the liars that tell them than find the truth. In my opinion, you are not ready for a debate like this. You simply need to get a basic understanding of biology first.

As for the chicken and the egg argument, eggs came first.

Re: Debate Analysis: Does evidence support neo-darwinian evo

Well this has turned out to be much less fun then the Proteus debate. All this talk of chromisomes and retroviruses is simply giving me no opportunities to spank Micah with funny pictures.

Well, other than this:

Probably not capable of being both more creative and less crude... I tend to become more profane as I get warmed up. This is clearly not the best place to go down that road, so I won't. ;)

If you would like, we can change the subject to something else if you'd like. I think that the people on this forum would be interested in seeing how the creationists and evolutionists view geology and dinosaurs, and where they think they fit in, care to discuss this?

Micah116, I am assuming that Squawk and you discussed exactly what this debate would cover. If you wished to discuss the subject of geology and dinosaurs, you could have made that part of this debate before it started. Simply because Squawk has you on the ropes, does not mean you can change the debate. It means you should have done better research.

However, you do understand you can open up your own thread about geology and dinosaurs, and discuss it with other users on here. You are not limited to only having debates between users of this forum. Furthermore, since geology and dinosaurs are not apart of this debate, you are able to discuss them in other threads on this forum without running a foul of this debate's rules.

Furthermore, since I have formal training in geology and an intrest in dinosaurs, I think looking at a creationist's ideas about those subjects would be interesting at least (if not down right hilarious).

This will either be really interesting, or very boring.

May I suggest that whoever is chosen as moderator be an active participant in the debate? Not as far as content, but in the interest in maintaining proper debate etiquette? That is to say, both parties need to present a positive case for their position as opposed to making a fallacious case from ignorance or incredulity? Also, if one person posts some ideas, the other person has to address those ideas directly instead of ignoring them and moving forward?


How about we let Dr. Stamp moderate?

Two notices with green enormous letterings and somehow they go unnoticed. This thing is circling the drain.

Na, you're forgetting that the only real crime in their book is not believing.
He can get away with whatever he wants if he just says sorry nicely.

I am not sure why he is refusing to use it now.

He could be browsing the forum using a crappy symbian or webkit browser on a dumbphone, and if the quote button even renders it is very difficult to scroll to, and even if he could it might overflow the memory.

Well thank you for that clarification.

However, if this is the case micah1116 should know that he has a week to respond in this debate, plus the option of a two-week wild card. This means I am still unsure why he would rush his posts.

Plus he has been explicitly told that if he has technical difficulties he can postpone the debate until they're resolved...
