There are those superior comprehension skills you were boasting on surfacing again.
Even Kelly tries to make thoughtful responses. i dont know why you find this difficult.
Originally posted by Papyn Chaseyeah, so what? There is a small population of coelocanths, co-existing all in one geographically limited area. No surprise that there has been little evolutionary change, you need genetic divergence for that. If you want to talk about very old linages of organisms why not discuss cycads? They have remained relatively unchanged for hundreds of millions of years. Why? Well, if there is no selection pressure, there will be no evolutionary change.
Hmm...what if there's a creature believed to be extinct millions of years ago being caught alive by fishermen without no change (evolution) at all? I mean Coecelanth (?)

Originally posted by sonhouseOver 3 million species of beetle would suggest that there has been a huge amount of adaptive radiation in the last 500 million years. Of course, ultimately they're all beetles, but all the proves is that the beetle body plan is very efficient at doing what it does.

So NS is now a reaction/process/agent. Cool. When (if) I grow up, I wanna be a shape-shifter like NS.
The words we call it are just words. And like all words, especially English language ones, they're often misleading, ill defined and at times, poor representations of what we're trying to define.
Process, reaction, agent whatever.
It doesn't matter.
The point is that evolution by natural selection is what it is.
As a scientififc model it perfectly describes the process of speciation, and satisfies all currently existing evidence.
Now, if you've got a better model, then by all means tell us about it. Otherwise get off the crap you're on, and start talking about something else.
Originally posted by NosracWell, you can look at the first page and see that it cannot even get the order correct (for example it has the sun created after land plants) and then chuck it out. It just doesn't tally with the physical evidence. I'm more inclined to believe the evidence rather than some work of fiction dreamed up more than 2000 years ago.
Evidence for creation?
You start with the Bible you end with the Bible.
End of story.
If you have not read the Bible, yet, how can
you cast it out?
Originally posted by FreakyKBHFreaky, business (in economic terms, the fields of finance, industrial organization, and some labor economics) is just one aspect of human behavior that economics explores. Economics, in its most general sense, is a study of how strategic agents make choices in a given environment. Economics covers everything from why we vote to the effectiveness of abstainence-only sex education, from how power is distributed in families to how nuclear war can be prevented, from why an individual donates to charity to the long run effect of progressive taxation on the distribution of wealth in a society.
I was actually tempted to edit the post to which you are responding, thinking I should be pre-emptive sarcastic and say something along the lines of 'you'll probably say economics have nothing to do with business.' But my response to that thought was, "Nah. Even he's not dumb enough to go that far." Looks like I was wrong.
"Economics is not business. ...[text shortened]... I can, and I do.
And I'll bet the work you do is for a Fortune 500 company, too.[/b]
To claim that economics is business or that it is somehow nothing without business is ridiculous.
Finally, you probably have taken a class or two, but that does not excuse you from writing meaningless gibberish and being called on it by Connie. As for research, my work is not sponsored by or made for Fortune 500 company or any other business. In fact, I doubt a Fortune 500 company would have much interest in what I do, and that's just fine with me.
The order of events in Genesis Chapter 1, days one to six are as it happened. For example, plants were created before the sun.
‘“And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, and to divide the day from the night”. Heaven and earth were the first; after them was created light; the day had been distinguished from the night, then had appeared the firmament and the dry element. The water had been gathered into the reservoir assigned to it, the earth displayed its productions, it had caused many kinds of herbs to germinate and it was adorned with all kinds of plants. However, the sun and the moon did not yet exist, in order that those who live in ignorance of God may not consider the sun as the origin and the father of light, or as the maker of all that grows out of the earth. That is why there was a fourth day, and then God said: “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven.”’ Ken Ham (answersingenesis.org)
