    He never said he was an evolutionary scientist - he said he was a scientist and an "evolutionist". He's been very vague about what kind of scientist he was (current odds favour "computer scientist"), but it's obvious he's never studied evolution.

    This discussion must have happened fairly recently (and been missed by me) in The Other Thread? Last time I do recall it coming up there a few years back, the general consensus was that JC had a minor qualification, possibly a national diploma, in something related to agriculture.

    At the same part of the debate, all the non-creationists were quite open about their qualifications. Most were science-related degree-level from irish universities over the last twenty years or so, including a number of masters and PhD's, qualified and in progress. While JC explained that she was too frightened to say what her qualification was, nor where she gained it (if she did), nor where she is working, lest her identity be discovered and she be "persecuted" :rolleyes:

    sJc quote-The ‘proof of the pudding is in the eating’ – and I can see no logical reason why Biologists who believe in evolution should know any more than me – when I completed the same NUI degree course as themselves, indeed coming third in my finals, as I recall. quote

    Post 71 ,pg 5. nov 2005, The bible,Creationism and prophecy comedy thread.
    Back then he/she/it would give long detailed cut and paste answers to posters,now he just repeats the same few posts over and over.

    More of your CFSI poppycock, It has already been hammered into the ground.
    The only thing that needs intelligence is you

    Information can be gained in nature by way of replication with variation and be maintained by natural selection.

    Flavobacterium have been found in ponds around Nylon factories with enzymes capable of digesting Nylon, a synthetic material only developed this century.

    Here we go with the ambigious use of you CFSI maimi. What do you mean by functional ? What do you mean by the information ? are we talking about the size and dimensions of the shapes ? Because that information would be part of giving the snowflake its overall shape. Which is a function.



    Define what you mean by Complex. after all snowflakes chemical are just frozen water molecules, thats rather simple, however structurally they are complex.

    Which again brings us around to the use of the term information. What information J.C ? Anything can be information.

    CFSI, It could mean anything folks.

    ... functionality is the exhibition of a useful feature that is specific to the entity concerned. Living organisms are bristling with functionality and specificity ... the unique complex shapes of snowflakes exhibit no functionality or specificity ... and they therefore don't exhibit CFSI.

    You are correct that great complexity can be achieve through the interaction of simple processes ... snowflakes and fractals are good examples of this phenomenon. However, what sets living organisms apart from fractals and snowflakes is the specific functional nature of biomolecules ... and that is why CFSI cannot arise by non-intelligently directed means ... while fractals and snowflakes can produce an infinity of different complex shapes ... with none of them exhibiting functionality or specificity.
    You really do need to attend some lectures on Intelligent Design.

    Only an ultimate input of intelligence can use external energy to locally decrease entropy.

    Entropy increases with the appliance of non-intelligently directed/harnessed energy.

    An uncontrolled explosion increases entropy ... while a controlled explosion in, for example, an intelligently designed engine cylinder can be used to intelligently decrease entropy and produce local increases in ordered complexity.

    As the person who discovered that an ultimate intelligent input as well as an external energy source are required to locally decrease entropy ... I should get a Nobel Prize ... but I'm not holding my breath!!!!

    Well we both know that's not how thermodynamics work and why this nonsense doesn't even apply to evolution.
