Proving common descent (Introduction)
DAVID: I'm a God-mind reader in the sense that I look at what we see in evolution, and acknowledging that chance doesn't work, logically consider other possibilities. The Cambrian was the result of what? More oxygen? Dangerous to work with. Epigenetics? Doesn't fit. Epgenetics is a response to specific environmental changes. We are back to oxygen. Therefore,either pre-programmed or a push by God. Now we are at the preferrence level of human thought. Since evolution of the universe and of life runs smoothly 99% of the time, I still favor pre-programming. > > Sorry, but I can't quite follow this. I would have thought an increase in the amount of oxygen was a very specific environmental change, so why wouldn't epigenetics "fit"? However, I'm not plugging oxygen as the change. Nobody knows what the change was, but that doesn't limit the choice to pre-programming or Creationism! -The reason epigenetics doesn't fit is that epipgenetics, in the examples we see,is a response to a threat or danger, or to an environmental change. The effects on the animal body may be small but never as dramatic as inventing new forms of animals. The Cambrian is NOT epigenetic, is a super-genetic!
