Ping!
But new Phyla can arise virtually overnight. We're not talking about jumping a genus, an order, a family, or a class. We're talking about lots of new phyla just popping into existence. In the blink of an eye? Through genetic drift and natural selection?
I don't have that much faith.
Darwinism is a religion. To believe that life happened by accident takes far more faith than any conventional religion.
Like Global Warming/Climate Change/Environmental Debts, etc. are ideas that smart people devise to explain (now by computer programs {which they make up themselves}), and thus they build a model and create it to theoretically to prove whatever current point they are SELLING TO THE PUBLIC.
Cynical ... true; and also fact.
Do not buy the BS ... horse feathers!
Ineed, they are the science equivalent of snake-oil salesmen.
The article acknowledged that “The Cambrian Explosion is widely regarded as one of the most relevant episodes in the history of life on Earth, when the vast majority of animal phyla first appear in the fossil record.”I thought that that all phyla appeared during the Cambrian Explosion, that no new phyla have appeared since, and that some phyla have since become extinct.
It is the younger among us who are
idealistic and believe the scientific sources.
We learned the hard way ourselves, a few times, didn't we?
Some decent research and hypothesis in the primary sources, but every time the writer of these reviews opens his mouth, he show himself to be uneducated on the matter.
Rember the scare over acid rain, global cooling, not to mention the yearly scare campaigns re: the flu. Yes, I’d say we’ve learned the hard way. But you are right, we need to find a way to reach America’s youth. Unfortunately, they are all locked up in our leftist public school and university system.
Work and taxes are an immensely valued lesson for most people. Nothing gets through to a person like those facts when they occur.
My neighor was in Italy during our november election. They reported that many people there “protest daily”, and seem to be “always protesting” against something... as if it was their job.
They were ‘celebrating’ in the streets when Obama won the election.
Interesting.
Details to follow.
Nonsense! The world is only 6000 years old and every “fossilized” sea shell was put in its exact position by the express direction of God.
What do you think of the evo explanation that we all came from a spike oceanic calcium?
PS That’s 6-10,000 year old, and it would not be correct to say that God personally placed every sea shell in its exact position, but He did create the laws that determine the same, and He does indeed know their exact composition and location, just as He knows the exact number of hairs are on your head.
Matthew 10:29-31
You mean another asteroid die off theory! I say “another” asteroid die off theory, because the current theory is in big, big trouble.
But one paleopologist has already asked, without response, “So what happened to the insects when the dinos were being killed?”
I thought it a good question but alas, no takers.
I did a little research on this for a previous post.From the end of your previous post:
We now know that life extends back about 3 billion years before the CE. Multicellular life begins well over a billion years before the CE. And we now know that many animal phyla originate prior to the CE.I'm curious whether there's a period after which we can say that no new phyla have appeared?
