No i know they are answerable. And yes i know you've posted the hypothesis about 1 and 2, but at the end of the day it is not the only answer ( other answers may as well exists and still be correct).
I am more interested in what ElanJo and SWP have to say about the subject. They are the only two posting with authority about the subject of evolution so i assume they know a lot more than the rest of us.
I post with authority on the subject of evolution all the time.
I want you to mention these "holes in evolution", because I'm not sure what you are talking about. Also, abiogenesis isn't evolution, but the process did start up then. Your search for a "unified theory" is daft. You are asking for a theory on how life evolves without life.
No evolution should cover every step of a lifeform, including how it became a lifeform.
I don't think you've thought this through properly. The earliest formations were chemical reactions that are a natural byproduct of mixing together certain elements and providing the correct charge.
You can say this about anything in the universe.
This has gotten to me aswell:
Ducado was right about one thing. When you read an Evolution journal or book, it sounds like the theory presented is the only one and the correct theory. No alternatives are mentioned. The process is there, but a theory is supposed to explain the process.
The theory fully explains the process. Evolution has more direct evidence for it than nearly every scientific theory I can think of (apart from the plain obvious ones such as the Earth rotating round the Sun and stuff like that). There is no need to consider alternative theories simply because nothing comes close to the absolute mountain of evidence that we have for it.
So the formation of the eyes has only one hypothesis? The formation of the first muscles cell, the lyrics ( to give us speech) in the human body? Our Intelligence? All these fall under evolution do they not? Different hypothesis about the same thing under one theory? This is my point.
BP; you and Ducado, with the greatest respect, have been watching too many Discovery Channel documentaries. Do we need to consider an alternative hypothesis about the correlation between standing in water and getting wet?
Haven't watch the Discovery Channel in well over a month. Why do you assume you are the only one interested in the sciences?
I am not arguing that evolution does not happen. Evolution is the process, but could something else be linked to evolution? could the brain somehow send signals to the reproductive organs to "develop" DNA that is suited for the environment it lives in?
Do we need to reexamine our position on breathing air? This is essentially what you are asking. This is how much evidence we have to support the theory.
We may yet see tweaks and small alterations aas new discoveries are found, but we have pretty much cracked this one.
A theory that is supposed to explain 4 billion years of history can't be perfect.
Science does not care about what you think should and shouldn't be perfect. It doesn't care about what you think is logical, or your ability to understand. It cares about direct evidence, and we have mountains of it.
I could care less what i think... Tell me have i ever argued against Evolution? I may argue about specific processes and if they are "wrong", what happens then? Evolution would simply absorb the correct hypothesis.
The daft assumption that we' pretty much cracked this one in science is very backward and it has occurred many times before.
