Fingerprints: Evidence of Common Design or Common Ancestry?
Do fingerprints serve an adaptive function? If so is this evidence of common design or common ancestry? An Answer in Genesis author says that fingerprints are evidence of common design because fingerprints of humans are distinctive from other great apes. That is a confusing argument since great ape species which AIG says are the same "kind" have fingerprints that are also distinctive from each other but apparently resulted changes in descendants of a common ancestor ark kind.
However, a more interesting feature of his article is the use of a quote to support the authors contention that fingerprints appear to be "well-designed" but in this video we go and look at that original article and look at the context of that quote and discover a very different story.
Answer in Genesis article: answersingenesis.org/human-evolution/close-not-close-enough/
Original source of the quote: journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/212/13/2016/18342/Fingerprints-are-unlikely-to-increase-the-friction
An article that AIG would be better of using to support functional role of fingerprint ridges: www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1073/pnas.2001055117

Genomes 50X the size of a Human Genome? What Are They Doing?
Переглядів 4184 години тому
Several recent publications have reported new record-sized genomes. Here I read the abstracts from three such paper involving diatoms, a small fern, and lungfish and talk about how these genomes could have gotten so large (30x to 50X the size of the human genome!!). I also talk about the implications for creationists and intelligent design proponents who claim that all the parts of a genome are...
Modern Mammal Fossils Found with Dinosaurs? Carl Werner Continues to Deceive

Have fossils of beavers, Tasmanian devils, and hedgehogs been found lying beside dinosaur bones? If you listen to Carl Werner you would certainly be led to believe so.

    In all things, the only thing we can observe is sets of causality and effects in result. Their is nothing we can observe, through the senses or science that is expected to have no cause or be the effect of such cause. Yet atheists Darwinists have no cause for the apparition of life. It was just random. So how can we only stop expecting causality in the origine of all things while everything in it is only birth in causalities? Obviously all things obey an order and atheists Darwinists have not come up with any fresh idea of what this order purpose is. We only have five senses to cognate the world. We know that some species have more senses. We also know that most other species have more accurate with broader reach senses. How are modern scientists ignoring this fact? Their is obviously things we won't ever know through the senses, through science. Before we ask who created the Creator, we need to come to ask why we were our self created. And to this question, only the religious have begun to speculate. Darwinists just are interested in moking them, yet remain incapable of knowing if they come or if they go. The Truth is not actually recognized for truth by science, experiment or repetitions anyway. It ever depend on a faithful choice. As we grow, we gain knowledge. We can predict things out of these learnings. But our cognition work also to refined itself through meditation/introspection. By the introversion analysis of experience can we link ideas and consolidate our awareness of reality. But also our awareness of what we ignore. Thtough this process, and following our priorities, we come to forge a vague representation of what the information we are looking for should look like. More or less consciously, following this effort of search or the priority it represent, attention engage in this search. When the information become available, it is rapidly absorbed integrated preciously and then further processed. Then it fill the ignorance and start binding with the notions we were aware of being missing but also with other we have not considered of value yet. It is really through this consolidation of awareness that we know the Truth. Not through science or others consolidation of their own awareness. No one is aware of what append way back. We only know that we just keep discovering order and causalities. Really morality is the one important thing about the book. Darwinists have no care in the World for those you love, those you may one day love or yourself. Like any sort of demon worshiper, you could all be culled they could not care less. Now if all those who believe in Jesus are absolute moron lunatic, they still do more for you and those you love then a Darwinist would ever do for such. If only for this cause, no one should undermine them. For if our defenders, no matter how idiotic, spare us battle fields, they spare us such detour of our own. Darwin and friends won't ever spare a minute for you and those you love. You are just a comical pile of compounds for them? Only Jesus saves.

    When reading the Old Testament, you find that first the Creator is called Elohim. Few pages latter He is called Yaweh. Later on He is called God. I suggest that the evolution of these denomintions actually marking motions in the big adjustments in the ecosystems and changes in the directions of things following our very determined cruel intentions. And this is a very well proven fact.

    The Genesis saying that God rested after the six day of the creation is not actually there to let us believe in creationism or into Darwinism. It is there to let us know that due to God omnipotence, He created a very balanced World with unimaginable efficiency for men to grasp. We are just still trying to bring it down. That is very telling of how great it was made and very very incapable we are.

    You still claim that these species are modern with just as much religious base for it. The Genesis does not claim any such thing anyway. The process of the mass extinction is also a very hypothetical stand too. And it may be explaining why the species did not die from the same event or in the same ecosystems. Jesus told us that God work even on sabbath day. Using his miracle to support it. So in this way He provided an argument that species, as men keep causing harm to Harmony in the creation, needed God to fix it with new species as time goes in adaptation to the spiritual and ecological defining needs.

That in itself is evidence your timeline is completely wrong. You may want to do the right thing and show your evidence. You claiming he is wrong doesnt make him wrong. You have to prove he is with evidence. As far as things stand right now your the one lying you haven't looked at his books taken his pictures and compared them to anything else.

Superficial skimming of images on Google does not make you a taxonomist. You have to become well versed on a clade to become a successful taxonomist. You have to know all the small details.

      ​@@NitroIndigo Just about a week ago (give or take) I saw a over on the Dapper Dinosaur UA-cam channel a critique of a YEC video. In it as a example of "evolutionist lies" in *school textbooks* the appolgist actually mentioned Jurassic Park. I was expecting the YEC appolgist to just mention some old mistakes or something not fully described in a classroom for lower grade levels for his example, not for him to mention an old action movie! 🤣

      @@NitroIndigo I found it. The full title is "Evolution Is Untestable? | Dapper Reacts 81". Edit to add: The whole video is a little over 2 hours but the part I was mentioning is at about 18 minutes in to it. I should also mention that on listening to the section again if did remind me that the YEC appolgist did mention documentaries, so to be fair maybe he though Jurassic Park was a documentary? 🤷
