Ah, still unable to post Evolutionary Theory's falsifiability criteria, I see.

...which would be apropos for this thread, in particular.

"As opposed to the other side, which doesn't revise, and yet still pretends that they were right all along."

Good math doesn't need revisions.

You...you mean that The Flinstones wasn't a documentary?? (Or Rockumentary).

I'll try that on the wife.

HA! And, y'know, with a nice Merlot, you may just get lucky with the missus.

And no...this doesn't mean evo is wrong, but that as new data emerge, rethinking older hypotheses is in order.

No; EVOLUTION will NEVER be 'wrong'!


The big dinosaur extinction of 65 million years ago didn't produce a flurry of new species in the ancestry of modern mammals after all, says a huge study that challenges a long-standing theory.

Translation:

Guess again!

What math would that be?

But, "I don't think this is the final word," he said.

Duh!

I mean, "We'll need more funding to deeply study this new evidence."

Some for religious reasons, and some because they saw that movie with Ringo Star and Raquel Welch

Those were two different movies. The definitive one is 1 Million Years BC with Racquel Welsh. It shows how hard life was back then with dinosaurs ready to pounce on humans around every bend. But Racquel was worth all the hassle so we eventually killed all the dinosaurs.

Unlike dogs or horses, they weren't trainable and did not even taste very good, so we just killed them to get rid of them.

That would be the probability math for sequencing genetic data.

By it's own definition, evolution is NEVER wrong. That's part of the problem. It's not falsiable, so it can neither be proven nor disproven in those terms.

A theory that is not falsifiable is not scientific.

This E/C stuff is degenerating again. Let's talk about math. I wish to complain that I was cheated in analytic geometry since they stopped at vector analysis and didn't give us the whole story that brings physics to life but leaves it dull and boring like a C/E debate.

I wonder if they are taking into account the long-term change in climate from the meteor impact the formed the KT boundary. That in the end may have had a greater impact (pun intended) than the demise of the dinosaurs.

I was thinking the same thing. I don't think there'd even be much in the way of food after something like that, and definitely not enough for there to be an explosion of species.
