I am missing no distinction because as has been pointed out all there is for the evos evidence are similarities in the dna and the fossils with no real evidence showing them evolving from one species to another.You're missing the distinction between supporting evidence and determinative evidence. The latter is evidence that all by itself determines a claim. Supporting evidence is evidence that isn't necessary but is congruent with a claim. Fossils need only be supporting evidence.
Also, Rossum specifically said fossils and DNA are sufficient (determinative):
Not only does none of that have anything to do with the distinction between supporting and determinative evidence, but thinking that evolution is merely founded on similarities is wrong. It's the fact of the relationships between similarities, that makes up the nested hierarchies, and that is seen in genealogical, historical processes, that is the fact that demonstrates evolution.I am missing no distinction because as has been pointed out all there is for the evos evidence are similarities in the dna and the fossils with no real evidence showing them evolving from one species to another.
No because hierarchies are groups and you have only similarities between the hierarchies and there are no distinctive similarities between one group of hierarchies to the next group.Not only does none of that have anything to do with the distinction between supporting and determinative evidence, but thinking that evolution is merely founded on similarities is wrong.

If you mean hierarchies are groups of groups, I agree. Is that what you meant?No because hierarchies are groups
That is not true. There is a pattern of groups within groups that is only seen in genealogical or historical processes.and you have only similarities between the hierarchies
That's not what the theory of evolution says is the thing that confirms it.and there are no distinctive similarities between one group of hierarchies to the next group.
Hierarchies are one group to the next group and you only have similarities between the groups with no conclusive evidence to support the toe.If you mean hierarchies are groups of groups, I agree. Is that what you meant?

I've already told you what evolution has beyond mere similarities. See post #145.Hierarchies are one group to the next group and you only have similarities between the groups with no conclusive evidence to support the toe.
Congratulations. You are aware of punctuated equilibrium. Science is also aware of punctuated equilibrium.You have been told the evidence and that is the unquestioned fossils show that they remained the same from their first known appearance until their last known appearance, and all the evos keep posting are ones with similarities which proves they have remained the same except for some minor things.
The problem with that thinking is since minor things are evidence of evolution, then you would have at least some major things to prove evolution. You can not say all the major things out of the billions if not trillions of them disappeared and yet we can find minor things to prove evolution out of the billions if not trillions that were once there . Yes we know they are going to be rare but as mentioned all in one group could not have disappeared and yet left enough in the other group for us to form the theory of the toe.Congratulations. You are aware of punctuated equilibrium. Science is also aware of punctuated equilibrium.
Be aware that evolution is often a gradual process, so those "minor things" are evidence of evolution.
No you did not because groups within groups are even more likely to have similarities.I've already told you what evolution has beyond mere similarities. See post #145.
I do not say that. Tiktaalik, Archaeopteryx and Ambulocetus have not disappeared. We have the evidence for evolution. Both fossil evidence and DNA evidence.You can not say all the major things out of the billions if not trillions of them disappeared
We have discussed those and they are a bird or whatever and nothing else with some minor similarities to other species , but having no major signs of having evolved from another species.I do not say that. Tiktaalik, Archaeopteryx and Ambulocetus have not disappeared. We have the evidence for evolution. Both fossil evidence and DNA evidence.
So why does that make the pattern of similarities in a nested hierarchy irrelevant?No you did not because groups within groups are even more likely to have similarities.
EvoStory timeAll species change over generations. 100,000 years ago humans did not have widespread lactase persistence mutations. When some humans started pastoral agriculture, raising cattle, sheep, goats etc. Today the descendants of those pastoralists have lactase persistence mutations, which enable adults to digest milk, as supplied by cows, sheep, goats. Those mutations are present in about one third of the current human population.
Evolution happens and can be observed if you are prepared to see it.
How long is a generation? For bacteria it can be about 30 minutes. Small animals take weeks or months. Elephants take longer than humans.
The chance I gave was the chance of reproducing or not. By observation the chance of any individual reproducing is greater than 50%, because we can observe that most populations are steady over time. That means that on average every individual has one offspring that reaches reproductive age and itself reproduces.
In my scenario half the individuals have 0 offspring and half have 2 offspring. That gives the observed one descendant on average per individual. That maintains a steady population.
Over time, my scenario does indeed produce 1,000 heads in a row, because any tails thrown are eliminated. That mirrors the face that all of your ancestors succeeded in reproducing. None of them failed, as shown by your presence here today.
As the saying goes: "If your parents didn't have any children, the chances are that you won't have any either."
What do you mean by "Hierarchies are one group to the next group"? Here are two kinds of hierarchy:Hierarchies are one group to the next group and you only have similarities between the groups with no conclusive evidence to support the toe.
Bwahahaha! No major signs? Really? Archaeopteryx had teeth, no modern birds have teeth. Archaeopteryx had a bony tail, no modern birds have a bony tail.We have discussed those and they are a bird or whatever and nothing else with some minor similarities to other species , but having no major signs of having evolved from another species.

Dinosaurs No No Yes Yes : Stegosaurus
Feathered Dinos Yes No Yes Yes : Jinfengopteryx
Archaeopteryx Yes Yes Yes Yes : Archaeopteryx
Early Birds Yes Yes No Yes : Ichthyornis
Modern Birds Yes Yes No No : Corvidae
That creates turbulence in the Hand waving studio. asking for proof. observations.Still can't prove your claims either
What are the odds of throwing something else?Can we throw 1,000 consecutive heads on a fair coin?
Karen 101.There is something incredible about people who can tell bare-faced lies and think they can get away with it.
Far from ignoring it, I started a thread about it.

Background Proteins are made in cells in a complex system. A protein is a long sequence of amino acids. There are twenty different amino acids used in nature; different sequences give different proteins. The sequence is encoded in DNA, with a set of three bases signalling a specific amino acid...forums.carm.org
You know that, because you posted on it NINE times. Do you think this makes you look good, CrowCross?
