It amazingly suggests
that the retention of even the most simplistic function by a tiny part
of a much larger system means that the larger system is actually
"reducible" without a complete loss of function. That's not really
true. The function of the larger system is in fact completely lost
even if the function of the much smaller subsystem is maintained.
You don't get out much do you?http://www.newscientist.com/channel/life/dn14094-bacteria-make-major-...
this is the problem with arguing god of the gaps asseanis doing.
some guy in a white coat is always gonna kill your god.
Not beyond the 1000aa threshold of functional complexity . . .
prove it.
What would you accept as adequate "proof"? - sort of some sort of
absolute demonstration? Remember now, science does not require
absolute proof before a hypopthesis or theory is considered to be well
supported.
newton said the same thing about planetary motion using
your EXACT argument
he was wrong.
He wasn't wrong. He was just not completely right. Newtonian physics
is a very good first approximation of the movement of massive bodies
relative to each other.
and so are you.
Prove me wrong. That's something that can be done in an absolute
manner. All you have to do is come up with one example of evolution in
action beyond the 1000aa threshold level of functional complexity.
