They Have No Idea

 They are voting for the descruction of America though they may not even notice for a while.  Eventually it should hit even them pretty hard and I suppose they'll be too confused to attribute it to the right caue because they've been laboring under lies for so long now.  Half the country is voting for lies and will bring us the destruction of the Great Experiment that was once America and replace it with totalitarianism in which a few at the top rule a nation of beggards.   They have no idea becaue they really do believe the lies, about Trump, about America, about conservativves.  We're going down under an avanlanche of lies.  I think that is how it is going to play out.  Sad to say I really think this.  Oh I'll vote for the good tuyes and for the truth and I know my half of the country will do the same.  But I don't think we are going to win.  Every work d out of Kama's mouth is a lie.  It's really amazing.  I haven't heard one word of trueth from her yet.  it's all pretending to be something she isn't, to hold views she doesn't hold, and to smear her opponent with lies that are really truths about her own ideological fellows.

Mutation, Schmutation

OK, now I've found many sources of this wacky idea that all variations are caued by mutations.  I'd heard it many times at EvC forum but it's so ludicrous I guess I just let myself forget it as I went on to work out my own fviews.  

This is again one of those weird situations where science thinks it's talkinga bout something scientific or factual when it's nothing but a totally made up imaginative contstruct without a shred of fact behind it.  There is no way that mutations created the DNA, created genes, bring about new variations such as I just saw claimed in differences in beak type.  It's impossible because of the nature of mtuations which surelyh they know perfectly well.  The percentage of what they think of as geneficial muatations is something like point oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh one.  We have thousands of genetic diseases and most observed utations are neutral, that is, they produce no change in the protein the gene codes for, or its resutltant trait in the phenotype.  

But theycli it anyway, in fact they speaqk of it as if it's a known fact.  Reminds me of some political stuff we're seeing all the time these days.  You like the idea therefore it's true, and you really don't knnneed any actual evidence for anyof it.  

I guess Ian't prove alleles are not produced by mtuations, all I can do is point out that the allele is simply there and the cause of it is assumed, never actually seen, unless it's a genetic diseae causing mutation or a nyeutral one.    

So all I can do is make my own counter claim which is that each gene is made up of two alleles and this is chte cause of all the variation we see in cretures.  

Of courseey need mjutation because hey need an explanation for how DNA got here in the first place whereas I see the DNA as created intact from the beginning, and the variations based on the fact that each gene has two variant forms or alleles.   That's the way it was made in the first place.  All mutations do is destroy, create junk DNA for instance, or make the kind of change that produces disease in the organism.  

Guess I can't prove it, can I?  Oh well.

Dawkins Unsettles Me Momentarily but I Recover

 Thanks to this talk by Dawkins that I just wrote about below I've now been disabused of my silly idea that I could ever convince anyone of anything against evolution.  I now see what aso astonishes me as actually what they bvbelieve.  they really do think that what is nothing but variation that is built into the genome of a species is evolution.  this is insane but that's what they believe.  it is hard to believe, maybe just because I've become so used to my own thinking about all this and forgot twhat they think for so long it now hits me as a brand new absurdity.   

They also think that utations are needed to bring about the changes that occur.  Sure you'd need something like mutations to get from one Species to another but they arenot needed to get all the variation that is possible within the genome already.  quite dramatic variations are possible from the genome in some cases anyway, certainly the dog genome.  The genome alone without mutations codes for every kind of dog there is, from the smalledst to the biggest, the baldest to the fluffiest, with every kind of tempaerament too.  I really do think this ought to be obvious but I guess it isn't.  if Coyne can actually say that the diference between the wolf and the chihuahua proves evolution all I can do is take Tylenol for my headache and try not to get too upset about it.

Well, waita minute here.  Let's not give up too soon.  it's still true that you run aup against the barriers I've been talking about to further variation after a point, that point being the edge of the genome as it were, or the point when there had s been so much inbreeding in solation that the degree of homozygosity in particular and perhaps other genomic changes has cut the new population off permanently from the old as far as reproduction agoes.  Although thte cheetach is neve regarded as having simply evolved to its condition but been catapulgted by a natural bottleneck soewhere in its history, the fact of its genetic situation is that it can't interbreed with any other cat because of the nibmer of fixed or homozygous genes in its genome.  It is stuck at the point I call a barrier where no further "evolution" which is not evolution but merely variation, is possible.   Normal processes of variation, meaning slower ones, if they persist through many reductions of population numbers, will end up at the same place genetically, unable to interbreed with the former populations.  

This istuation is considered to be the point of specieation but that is utterly ridiculous.  It's merely the point where the creature has become a "purebred as it were.  Unfortunately in this fallen world that condition is also fragile, likely to include genetic diseases of various sorts or weaknesses such as the hip problems that some highly bred dogs have.    You could have helathy strong purebreds in the original creation but not in this fallen world which is full of death and disease in inuury of all kinds.

So I guess I can still make my case, challenging the whole shebang all at once as it were.  

And the strata are still not time periods no matter what.

To sum up:  All they are ever talking bout is variation that is coded for by the genes in the genome of a given species and there is no way there could ever be the kind of change within the genome that coulde turn int into the genome of another species.  I defy them to try to shows how that is possible.  As long as they continue to talk about things that are known becaue they happen within the genome they never have to prove their asusmption thta these porcesses coudl actually produce soething different from twhat the genome codes for.  

And again, there are no time periods, there is a stack of enormous thick sedimentary layers that cover whole continents that could never ever ever have been produced by any normal processes in any time frame on this planet EXCEPT in the one trime frame of maybe about a year when they were all laid down sequentially in a humongous Flood.

it's the genome that has to change for a the creture to become a different species and ath is simply not possible.  that's what I keep trying to say. All the variations they micscall evolution work smoothly likie clockwork because they are built into the species genome for the purpose of varying that species and only that species.  Mutation is not needed and when it does occur it doesn't improve things, it iether doesn't change anything or it produces a disease.  I 

dAWKINS' nEW bOOK, tHE gENETIC bOOK OF THE dEAD

 vERY CLEVER TITLE i MUST SAY.  i HAVEN'T HEARD HIS TALK YET BUT i GATHER HIS BOOK IS ABOUT THE BELIEF THAT JUNK dna REPRESENTS THE FORMER LIVES OF AN EVOLVED CREATURE.   aS i'VE ARGUED HERE MANY TIMES i BELIEVE JUNK dna REPRESENTS GENES THAT FUNCTIONED WELL IN THE ORIGINAL CREATED WORLD AND NO DOUBT GAVE THE CREATURE ENORMOUS STRENGTHS OF AMNY KINDS WE CAN HARDLY IMAGINE NOW SINCE WE LACK NINETY FIVE OR MORE PERCENT OF THOSE GENES.  

aNYHWAY i'LL LISTEN TO dAWKINS AND SEE IF HE EXPLAINS HIS BOOK.

lATER.  hERE WE GO.  dAWKINS JUST SAID IN THIS TALK i'M LISTENING TO THAT EVOLUTION IS CHANGE INGENE FREQUENCIES.  aND NATURAL SELECTION IS BIASED CHANGE IN GENE FREQUENCIES, BIASED TOWARD IMPROVELENT.  

wOSW.  he has also been using the term mutation as if it's needed to explain variation, which I don't get either.  What are these people thinking?  None of this makes any sense.  All you need for variation, even some pretty dramatic variations, is isolation of a small portion of a population iwth its new gene frequencies and reproduction emong that group in isolation over enough generations to spread the new gene frequencies through the population, the fewer the founding individuals the shorter the numbe o generations needed to accomplish this change in the character of the population as a whole.

Mutations are n needed and would only contribute a new variation anyway which would be treated as any other allele in the mix.

As for gene frequencies this is all going on in the genome of a given species, this is not evolution that wcould ever become a new species.  if you isolate twenty of any species from the rest of the population so that they inbreed fover some numnber of generations you will bget a new look to the new population of that species.  it's built into the genome for this to happen.  this is not evolution.  This is obvious.

We got all the human races by simple isolation of portions of the human population as they spread out over the earth in times past carraying with them a set of gene frequencies shared among the population as a whole.  You got the blue eyed blonds of the nordics that way, and the Asian features in the far east and the black skin of the Africans and so on and so forther.  There is nothing needed for this to happen other than the isolation of a portion of the whole species over some nuember of generations.  it's guilt into the genome, no mutations are needed and ther is nothing in this process that could lead to a different species.l

I guess I'm native.  It really doesn't seem possible to me that Dawkins or Coyne could actually think that any of this is evolution.  I was shocked when Coyne said that the difference between the wolf and the chihuahua shows evolution.  What are they thinking?  This is nuts.

Well, if you keep calling mere variation "evolution" we're all going to be hopelessly confused, and that's what I think is the case, THEY are hopelessly confused and I'm not going to be able to make a dent in any of that.  Sigh.  He acrtually gives an example of how a guppy is brightly colored when not subjected to a predator but loseds its color and becomes drab when there is a predator that eats them.  And the fact that when drab guggies are isolated from predators they become color ful aagain over many generations he calls evolution.  Yikes.  This is cheer craziness.

So ther idea ofevolidence for evolution is really just evidence for uilt in genetic variation, plus the other bogus kind of evidence which is the so called fossil record which is nothing but an imaginative construct without a shred of actual empirical justification.  Sigh.

Not to bother mentioning for the umpteenth time that the sedimentary rocks in which they are fossilized could not possibly ever have been part of a time period of tens of millions of years.  Yes why bother.

hERE cOMES hURRICANE mILTON

 rICHT ON THE TAIL OF hURRICANE HELENE WHICH HAS ALREADY WREACKED HORRIFC DAMAGE AND A HIGH DEATH TOLL.  i'VE BEEN PRAYING THAT gOD WOULD SLOW DOWN mILTON BUT IT LOOKS LIKE hE'S NOT LISTENING TO ME.   

kAMALA IS OUT THERE TRYING TO LOOK PRESIDENTIAL NOW AFTER COMPLETELY IGNORING hELENE, WARNING PEOPLE TO LIVE AND OF COURSE TAKING THE OBLIGATORY SWIPE AT tRUMP FOR SUPPOSEDLY GIVING OUT MISINFORMATION ABOUT THE PREPAREDNESS OF fema TO HELP THE SURFVIVAORS.  wELL, THAT'S ODD.  wHY DOES IT COME DOWN TO tRUMP ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS?  i'VE BEEN HEARING FOR DAYS, WEEKS MAYBE, THAT fema HAS RUN OUT OF FUNDS AND i DIDN'T HEAR IT FROM tRUMP.   iF HE'S ALSO SAYING IT THEN HE PROBABLY GOT IT FROM THE SAME SOURCES i'M GETTING IT, AND i HAVE NO REASON TO DOUBT THEM.  fema SPENT ALL ITS MONEY ON ILLEGAL ALIENS AND THERE ISN'T ENOUGH FOR THE HURRICAN E VICTIMS.   iT'S BEEN LOCAL PEOPLE AND PRIVATE CHARITIES LIKE sAMARITAN'S pURSE THAT HAVE STEPPED INT O HELP WITH hELENE.  fema ACOCORDING TO MANY RERPORT HAS BEEN COMPLETELY USELESS.  bUT OF COURSE kama IS ONLY INTERESETED IN CREATED ING AN IMAGE.

Then Harris has the effrontery to accuse Trump of being the one who didn't come to the rescue and even saccused him of having no empathy.  the baldfaced lie makes me more angry than I can stand.  I'd better get off this post.HEN i TYPED dEL.

D43cREATION EVOLUTION pOSTS

tHEY ARE SCATTERED THROUGH MY BLOG OVER ABOUT A MONTH NOW AND MOSTLY ARE JUST SKETCHY ACCOUNTS OF MY ARGUMENTS AGAINST EVOLUTION, THREE GEOLOGICAL AND THREE BIOLGOICAL.  tHE MERE FACT OF THE HUGE SLABS OF TABLETOP FLAT SEDIMENTARY ROCK SPANNING WHOLE CONTINENSTS SHOWS THAT THEY CAN'T POSSIBLY REPRESENT TIME PERIIODS OF HUNDRED  NO, SORRY, TENDS OF MILLIONS OF YEARS PER TIME PERIOD.  tHAT'S ONE.  tHE FACT THAT THE STRATA ARE COMPLETELY UNDISTURBED INTHEIR INDIIDUAL EXISTENCE, ONLY THE WHOLE STACK BEING DISTUBRBED AS   AFTER THE WHOLE THING WAS LAID DOWN, PARTS OF IT SCATTERED IN SOME PLACES SUCH AS ACROSS THE eNGLISH iSLAND, AND THE STATE OF tENNESSEE, SOME OF IT TWISTED INTO PRETZELS BUT ALWAYS IN BLOCKS, NEVER IN THE INDIVIDUAL LAYER AND CERTAINLY NOT AT THE TIME OF ITS LAYING DOWN.  tHESE ARE SIMPLY NOT TIME PERIODS.  aND i ALSO DECIDED TO ADD THE FACT THAT THERE ARE BOTH SEA CREATURES AND LAND CREATURES FOSSILZIED TOGETHER IN A SINGLE LAYER HERE AND THERE, WHIC HIS IS IMPOSSIBLE UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS.   sURELY ALL THIS HAS BEEN NOTICED BY SCIENCE BUT NOBODY EVER MENTIONS IT AND IT LOOKS TO ME LIKE IT KILLS THE WHOLE IDEA OF AN ANCIENT EARTH.

tHE BIOLGOCIAL ARGUMENTS START WITH THE ONE i USED AT EVC FORUM FOR YEARS, THE FACT THAT VARIATION OF TRAITS IS ACCOMPANIED BY THE REDUCTION IN GENETIC DIVERSITY, ILLUSTRATED BY DOMESTIC BREEDING FOR STARTERS AND YOU LOSE THE TRAITS FOR OTHER BREEDS AS YOU ARE WORKING TO ESTABLISH  A PARTICULAR BREED.  tHE SAME THING WOULD HAPPEN IN THE WILD IF THERE IS SUCH A PERSISTENT VARIATION WHICH i THINK WOUDL HAPPEN IN RING SPECIES IN PARTICULAR, WHERE A FEW INDIVIDULAS MIGRATE AWAY FROM AN ESTABLISHED POPULATION TO FORM A NEW ONE AND DEVELOP NEW CHARACTGERISTICS FROM  A NEW SET OF GENE FREQUENCIES, LOSING THE TRAITS BEHIND THAT ARE NOT BEING BROUGH T TO THE FORE IN THE NEW POPULATION.   eVENTUALLY YOU'D HAVE TO RUN OUT OF GENETIC VARIABILITY AND THAT IS NO FORMULA FOR EVOLTUION.   tHE NEXT ARGUMENT IS THAT ALL VARIATION OCCURS WITHIN THE GENOME OF A SPECIES, THROUGH SEXUAL RECOMBINATION IN SEXUALLY REPRODUCING SPECIES, VARIATIONS BEING A MATTER OF RANDOM PAIRING IN THE FERTILIZED OVUM.   yOU CAN'T GET NEW TRAITS JUST VARIATIONS ON THE TRAITS THAT BELONG TO THE SPECIES WHICH IS WHAT THE GENOME CODES FOR AND NOTHING ELSE.  eVOLUTIONISTS ACT AS IF VARIATION CAN JUST GO ON AND AON ALTHOGUH THEY SURELY KNOW THE LIMTIS DEFINED BY A GENOME.  jERRY cOYNE ACTUALLY SAID THAT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A WOLF AND A CHIHUAHUA IS TO HIS MIDN EVIDENCE OF EVOLTUION WHICH IS JUST GPLANIN RIDICULOUS.  tHE TRAIT VARIATIONS OF BOTH ANIMALS ARE BUILT INTO THE GENOME OF THE DOG.  THEY ARE DOGS THROUGH THE CSHARED GENOME.  GOOD GRIEF THIS IS OBVIOUS.  

tHEN THERE IS THE BODY PLAN WHICH SEEMS TO ME TO BE CONSISTENTLY DEFINITIVE OF A GIVEN SPECIES, RECOGNIZABLE AS THAT SPECIES IN SKELETON FORM, AND NEVER VARYING IN AN WAY THAT HINTS AT ITS EVER BECOMING SOME OTHER SPECIES.  a DOG BOY PLAN I ALWAYS A DOG PBODY PLAN, ERECOGNIZABLE IN WOLF OR CHIHUAHUA OR GREAT dANE OR lABRADOR ETC.    a CAT SKELETON IS ALWAYS A CAT SKELETON WHICH OF TIGER OR HOUSECAT OR BOGBCAT OR MOUNTAIN LION.   eTC.  a BIRD IS A BIRD IS A BIRD WHIETHER IT'S A PENGUIN OR A HAWK OR AN OSTRICH OR A CHICKADEE, IT IS ASSEMBLED IN THE SAME PROPORTIONS WITH THE SAME POSITION OF APPENDAGES IN EVERY BIRD.     tHE BODY PLAN OF A CHIMPANZEE IS NO AT ALL THE SAME AS THE BODFY PLAN OF A HUMAN BEING, PROPORTIONS ENTIRELY DIFFERENT.  tHE KIND AND AMOUNT OF CHANGE TO GET FROM ONE TO THE OTHER IS SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE.

nO TIME WON'T DO IT, YOU NEED A CHECHANISM FOR SUCH CHANGE AND THERE ISN'T WONE.  yOU NEED IT WHETHER YOU HAVE TEN YEARS OR TEN MILLION FOR THE CHANGE.

the Octovr Seventh Horror Show

 The date almost went by without my noticing it, sad because it really should be remembered as a day of horrors hardly maginable in our civiliczed times.  the hatred Islam holds againt the jews isn't going to go away unless the religion or ideology goes agway, although the hatred is so ancient it's pretty much built into the the Arab poulation as well since they are relatives going back to Abraham.  Or some of them are anyway, ti's hard to sort it all out.  Israel was given by God the child of promise, Isaac, but Hagar the egyptuian had a son by Abaham called ishmael who would be blessed by God with many sons and princes and wealth in this world.  isaac was to be in the line to the Messiah.  At the time the hatred was fairly subdued but in recent times it's become the ause of general conflict in the Middle East, many wars so far and no end in sight.

the viciousness of the attack on the jews on Octover seventh of last year is really hard to wrap one's head abround.  how does usch barabarity exist in our age?  And yet the world is siding with Hamas against Israel, that's even more astonishing.  University students in the US are joining with Hamas supporters here too.  It's almot beyond belief.    then the world sends aid to Hamas, or at least the people of Gaza supposedly and Hamas intercepts all the food sent and keeps the people in starvation.  They also refuse to get their people out of harm's way although israel announces its   Israel warns them when they are about to attack a site in Gaza that is known to hold many hHamas but Hamas won't let the people leavw so the people have to surffer with them.  

And yet in a way the whole world is going barbaric, including the US.  At lest we might take this as a sign of btter to things to come, meaning of course Jesus soon return.
