Like into the evidence we have today
kind is ill defined so ye
the categorization is arbitrary
so you can have categorization such that changing species wont change kind
in biology species is usualy defined as a group of lifeforms such that if they mated they will produce an offspring capable of living and also reproducing
i think that deffinition is a bit problematic
ring species for example
you could fix it so that the entire ring is a species
Species does have its problems tbh.
Also what I was going to ask about is
1- why did none of the carnivores eat the herbavors when they left the Ark
2- how are creatures not all.inbred
evolution never said that a squirl can evolve into an elephant
a squirl might beable to evolve into something like an elephant but it will never truely be an elephant
it wont beable to breed with other elephants just because it looks and acts like one
That is true.
difrent code can achieve the same result
Yeah I agree with you so far
this is a marcupial
Ok
I'm following you
earlier i talked to someone who claimed that you cant create new information in the genes
i gave the example of duplicating genes and then modifying bgoth of them
resulting in 2 seperate new genes (new information)
he argued that duplicating a gene is the same gene and thus no new information
he ignored the mutation of them both
i said this 3 times and all 3 times he just said that duplicating a gene is not new information
i even explained that the duplication is not where the new information comes from
Do apologize for not being on, irl busy rn
it ok
First you break it down, ask them if they think genes can mutate and change.
If they say yes, then move forward and show them examines of gene duplicating
They will claim it's not new info, then, ask them what about if the duplicated gene mutated
If they ignore the last piece, they wish to be in an echo chamber and will never listen to anything you say.
However, there are some people who don't understand until you break down all the steps
i did in fact do that
