Is evolution true?

And the failure of bacteria to meet your criteria for speciation (or mate, for that matter) proves that all evolutionary theory is wrong…
and should be replaced by - what, exactly?

Supplementary question:
Does this mean we have to throw out all products of genetic research, or just the currently accepted taxonomy?

Yes, that’s correct, James

Of course not. That’s why evolution is considered a theory and not a fact.

Evolution is a theory?

Yes. Theory is a global (universalized) view of a concept, or hypothesis. Evolution is ONLY about speciation, and no person has ever seen it.

K: all scientific theories like gravity and evolution are consider theories… all of them…
yet, if you want to disprove gravity, go to the nearest rooftop and toss yourself off…
if you live, let me know if the “theory” of gravity is true or not?

Kropotkin

Pretty sure evolution includes micro-evolution not just macro…

K: now I see the problem… you are completely ignorant of what evolution is…
if you knew anything about evolution (and I explained speciation if you read my post,
then you would know too) you would know that evolution is more then just speciation.
of course this would mean you actually knew what you were talking about and you don’t…

Kropotkin

Is anything in science not based on a theory regarding origins?

Peter,

We can demonstrate gravity.

We’ve never seen speciation. Ever.

You clearly don’t understand that speciation is the branching of reproductive organisms such that they can no longer reproduce with each other or exchange DNA …

maybe scientists are just using the evidence for micro evolution and passing it off as valid for macro?

There is no such thing as micro evolution…

That’s just adaptation.

Evolution is speciation. Defined solely by the ability to reproduce or not

K: and we can demonstrate speciation in the same way as gravity…

Kropotkin

Everyone in the world can drop a quarter to the ground.

Nobody in the world has ever seen speciation.

You really are ignorant about this topic.

See… The problem I have with people is this:

They need a fucking religion.

We only have 2.

God or evolution.

If they rejected god, then they need evolution …

If they don’t have either, they don’t know what to do with themselves!

clearly I am arguing with someone who is dumber then dirt
and I’m sorry to compare you with dirt because at least dirt is good for
something…

Kropotkin

Dumber than dirt…

You asserted an argument without expounding upon why the argument is true.

Anyone can do that.

Grass is purple. The sky is neon green. You’re an idiot.

Evolution is RELIGION peter. It’s not a fucking fact

K: it is not a fact but a theory and it is not a religion… it is science
I have already given you an argument for speciation in an earlier post and if you ’
had read that you would know…and as for your anti-science beliefs…
you know I think there is an flat earth society meeting
in your area that is begging for you to attend…go be with your people there…

Kropotkin

Peter, you really know nothing about science.

Nobody in 1.3 million years has observed evolution, even with tools.

Nobody.

That doesn’t mean it’s false…

You’re an absurd person peter

E: Dumber than dirt…

Anyone can do that.

Evolution is RELIGION peter. It’s not a fucking fact

K: YES, THEY HAVE OBSERVED EVOLUTION… it happens every single day…
when a child is born with different characteristic then their parents,
that is evolution… it is really not that hard to understand unless
you are as you clearly are… a religious fundamentalist who thinks the
bible is the only word possible… the earth is 6000 years old and all that…
perhaps a philosophy site is wrong for you… try a fundamentalist site…
that might be more your style…

That’s not speciation Peter, that’s adaptation …

You need to get your terms straight…

All those different birds on the Galapagos that were recorded can still mate with each other. They had ADAPTATION differences. Not speciation!!

When a child is born different than it’s parents, it can still have offspring with it’s parents or others from the same SPECIES!!

Peter, honestly, I’m talking to you like a 5 year old right now.
