Ken Miller on Intelligent Design
Uploaded by: theblur
Video Description:
Ken Miller's talk on Intelligent Design at Case Western University. Ken Miller basically rips Intelligent Design apart in a 2 hour long exposé of the claims of intelligent design and the tactics that creationists employ to get it shoehorned into the American school system.

Tell a friend:














impossible, but then again thats not evolution. evolution within a single isolated gene pool. me and a chimp are in different gene pools. rather we share a recent common gene pool.
'causing human devolution'
]
with the exception of you and renfield, there is no such thing as devolution
the successive change in allele frequency due to random mutation and natural selection is the definition of evolution. it is observed , it is fact.
the only authority in science is the evidence.
the evidence shows that archaeopteryx is a bird, therefore it is also a dinosaur.
whether it diverged in the permian, the triassic or the jurassic. it IS a bird AND a dinosaur by definition. thats whats so beautiful about it
Why don't you try to stay on topic instead of avoid it.
You have nothing intelligent to add to the debate, just like you do not have any empirical evidence/science that all living forms have a common ancestor in the supposed simple cell at the root of the bogus evolutionary tree of life which a mythical magical brainless purposeless nothing supposedly caused its genesis & transmutation all without any tangible evidence or repeatable testable science.
DNA
TheProf1988 "the successive change in allele frequency due to random mutation and natural selection is the definition of evolution. it is observed , it is fact."
Stop Hijacking any evidence especially genetic evidence which has nothing to do with the bogus notion that Darwin plagiarized. Evolution never had a start & never happened from pond scum to you. Therefore, until this mythical event is substantiated, you have no evidence to use
the word reptile largely means nothing
birds are dinosaurs by definition
birds, non avian dinosaurs, crocodiles and pterosaurs are all the same KIND of organism called archosauromorphs
TheProf1988 "DNA"
Stop Hijacking any evidence especially genetic evidence which has nothing to do with the bogus notion that Darwin plagiarized. Evolution never had a start & never happened from pond scum to you. Therefore, until this mythical event is substantiated, you have no evidence to use.
DNA was not a prediction of Darwin, try enumerable (millions) transitional fossils instead.
the successive change in allele frequency due to random mutation and natural selection is the definition of evolution.
can yopu comprehend this HTBK, no one is hijacking evidence THIS IS EVOLUTION!!
A phylogenetically discordant duplication (shown as D in figure 2) has its own blow to strike against the whole evolutionary shared mistakes argument:
One exceptional change is a duplicated segment of GGGATGCC in intron 4, which is shared by the gorilla and the orangutan. However, because this change is phylogenetically incompatible with any of the three possible
sister-relationships among the closely related trio of the human, the chimpanzee, and the gorilla, it might result from two independent duplications. Alternative, though less likely, a single duplication occurred in the ancestral species of the great apes and had been polymorphic for a sufficiently long time to permit fixation of the duplicated form in the orangutan and the gorilla on the one hand and loss in the human and chimpanzee on the other hand. Oda et al., ref. 22, p. 642.
Perhaps the most prominent shared mistake among pseudogenes overall is the premature stop codon. Two (of the six) premature stop codons now known for the Uox pseudogenes (at codons 33 &187) do follow an evolutionary shared mistakes deployment. Members of the orang-gorilla-chimp-human clade share the codon 33 premature stop codon, while the one at codon 187 is found in gorillas, chimps and humans. In contrast, 3 others (at codons 18, 167 & 197) are unique to one type of primate only, &,
Darwin saw evolution as a slow and stately process. He pictured organisms gradually transforming from one species into another over immense spans of time. Evolution, he believed, had to occur through "infinitely numerous transitional links" forming "the finest graduated steps." Darwin was a strict adherent of gradualism and the notion that "nature does not make leaps." He spelled this out very clearly in his Origin of Species:
If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed which could not possibly have been formed by numerous successive slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down (Darwin, 1859, p. 219).
If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed which could not possibly have been formed by numerous successive slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down (Darwin, 1859, p. 219).
There was one major stumbling block to this view of life: the fossil evidence. In a chapter entitled "On the Imperfection of the Geological Record" he readily admits:
correction missed a part
but not the actual evidence because there is none.
there are only definitions you want to believe.
but definitions are not scientific facts
evolution is NOT a scientific fact
