“What are the odds that any single character mutational change (like to ajdf jai elamdi pwnz) will be meaningful much less beneficial?”

Gentleman,

Even though I am not a scientist and do not have an advanced understanding of mathematics wouldn’t the odds here be 50/50? If an added single character mutational change, no matter how long the string preceding it, has the chance of being either beneficial or non beneficial is that not like a coin toss each time?

On the road from Jerusalem to Jericho you encounter a creationist and evolutionist beaten up and lying in a ditch. Whom would you help, friend?

Dear Dr. Pitman

Clearly, the Christian spirit infuses your soul. God bless you, but even more. those that do not yet understand this essential need.

“Your “warm and fuzzy” love everyone and have no judgement for anyone and everyone do as they please doesn’t work in REAL life”

My friend, I think this is what love is all about. It rises above doctrine, differences and tolerates and accepts. And thus I extend that love to you and humbly ask you to look deep in your heart at those that may differ in opinion from you.

Science, Methodological Naturalism, and Faith

“Of course, the determination of the identity and/or motives of a designer requires additional information. This is where the Bible comes into play… and the evidence it reveals for its Divine origin and the credibility of its claims regarding the origin of the universe, life on this planet, suffering and death on this planet, and God’s plan and motive for the creation and re-creation of this world.” – Sean Pitman

But not just the Bible, but all creation stories from all cultures that attempt to make sense out of existence, correct? Of course, which one, if any, can be shown empirically to be correct? This is where a certain degree of faith and acculturation plays a road as ID is a modern form of Deism.


Emergence and the Origin of Life?
“Such just-so story telling might be entertaining, but these stories are not demonstrable. There are no examples of evolution in action, by emergence or RM/NS, producing any such machine beyond very very low levels of functional complexity. And, statistically, these stories are absolutely untenable. The only thing left to hold them up is an appeal to some mystical magical process – not science.”

I’m sorry Dr. Pitman, but I’m struggling with your logic. Are you saying you have demonstrable proof that the world was created in six days about 8000 years ago? You call evolution a just so story but how does this differ empirically from biblical creation?
