The ToE is shown over and over to be littered with false, over-simplified assumptions. These in turn are used to make false deductions. When you flesh those over-simplified assumptions out to what they imply about the non-random properties of past events, they are equivalent to myriads of ad-hoc hypotheses.<br /><br />The alternative is the "tree-think" approach to explanation. But this is a species of "Platonic" thought--much like that of Nagel in his new book. That thought is, when analyzed causally, only conceivable as teleological in nature. True naturalistic explanation explains events in terms of event regularities that can be corroborated by predictions that are implied by applying the theoretical explanation to initial conditions.<br /><br />Cladistic trees, per se, don't tell us whether the large to huge phenotypical gaps are due to a lack of preservation of transitional forms, saltations or SA. The explanation for those gaps has to come from elsewhere.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3855268335402896473.post-89789283875253367442012-12-28T18:47:43.595-08:002012-12-28T18:47:43.595-08:00Related note to 'timing':

Since there are many more codons than amino acids, this means that there is an element of redundancy because amino acids can be specified by multiple codons. As I noted before, this redundancy allows the genetic code to be exquisitely fine-tuned to minimize error. The paper explains that "redundancy in the genetic code allows the same protein to be translated at different rates." In other words, even so-called silent substitutions (that is, those mutations that exchange a nucleotide for another without changing the amino acid specified by the codon) can have an impact on the rate of translation of the protein product.<br />http://www.evolutionnews.org/2012/03/new_study_adds058051.htmlbornagain77https://www.blogger.com/profile/16666666037080692370noreply@blogger.com
