Chixculub

DAVID: I think by now I 've established the overall importance of ecosystems created by the enormous diverse bush of life. Since living creatures must eat, and the human population has grown so big, the bush must be that enormous. That explains away dhw's compliant that God did not know what He was doing and creating all the bush instead of creating humans straightaway. Accepting humans as God's primary goal, it all makes perfect sense, with God preparing for the huge human population He knew would appear.(dhw’s bold)

dhw: Meanwhile, you still haven’t identified any intermediate goals. And finally, my complaint is not that “God did not know what he was doing”. My complaint is that your theory is riddled with contradictions.

I have identified all the developed branches of the bush create the necessary ecosystems. Intermediate goals. You see contradictions you invent because you dop not understand how to view God as a purposeful being. Your constant humanizing is proof.

Schroeder

DAVID: He explains it in his terms to me. My theories are from a distillation of Schroeder.

DAVID: I'm sorry that I don't have time to go back and refresh my memory. What you have from me is a distillation of all I have read and my logical conclusions. In all of our discussions about God's possible personality, we are in wide disagreement. We do not think about God in the same way which keeps us far apart.

dhw: Once again you hide behind vague generalisations. The subject is your illogical, self-contradictory theories of evolution. I don’t understand why you find it necessary to keep dodging like this. You have agreed that you can’t explain your own reasoning, have said quite explicitly that your theory only makes sense to God, so that should end the discussion. (It won’t, because you continue to push your theory in other posts – e.g. today on fungi.)

Cell splitting DNA controls

QUOTE: "Expecting random mutations to somehow emerge then be “selected” by some blind, aimless, uncaring “agentless act” (as Neil Thomas has put it) to construct this complex system seems beyond rational consideration.

DAVID: Simple cell splitting in the previous entry. This shows how big the evolutionary gap is in the Cambrian explosion. Stem cells at work from sexual reproduction!!!! It is not just the new animals' forms that comprise the gap. Darwin had no idea. A nice taste if ID thinking. Note the bold.

dhw: From the very beginning of our discussions, we have agreed that random mutations cannot explain the vast complexities of life. This is called flogging a dead horse. I’m intrigued by your emphasis on the vital role of stem cells in evolution, as this was the subject of a previous discussion in which you played down their importance. But as before, I don’t know enough about the subject to pursue it any further.

You were off course with stem cells. Germ cells was the point. That is wher new code has to act for speciation.
