I am not sure that I fit into this group of people, but I often listen in
on the arguements. I am not ashamed to say that I believe in Creation,
why should I be? Is it wrong to have faith in something unprovable? If I
thought that evolution was a viable explaination to mine/our existence,
then I would question my faith. So far my [unbiased] studies have
revealed insufficient evidence to shake the foundations on which I base my
faith.
Evolution certainly has some valid science and very logical points, and I
don't deny that evolution evolution could take place. Though I personally
believe that in our case, it didn't.
What I am really posting is my opinion, and no-one elses, concerning GA's.
I have a few points to express, they are:
1) The findings of GA's imply that the development which is being measured
over so many generations is independent of development of other structures
which are necessary for function. (ie. the eye may have evolved, but it
would be useless unless the organism has the neural processes and/or the
mental processes to translate and utilise the information perceived by
the eye)
2) The changes observed from the simulation are dependent on the original
data input which clearly is a consequent to human design of the
sequences/regions to be worked on and also the program(s) which are used
for the simulation. (hmmm..get it?) These are therefore NOT random.
3) Lastly, there is a translation error in such sumulations involving
computer hardware/software. This can take the form of electronic error in
single bits which are coding for a particular digit. Over many loops in
this performance, intrinsic error can be magnified considerably. Was the
simulation repeated using different PCs?
I hold no grudges against anyone for any belief they hold, but it is
offending the way that Steve McGrew labels people a 'Creationist' as if it
were a dirty word. Why can't you accept someone for who they are not what
they believe?
