Yet, another lie. He never said:
It only says that at this particular point in time - which was 16 years ago, chance and self-organization theories were not scientifically valid.
You just make it up as you go.
He said, it's not SCIENTIFICALLY VALID! He never said at this time. He said it can't be known by the Scientific Method so it needs to be an axiom in Biology. Yockey said:
However, information theory shows that the origin of life is unknowable by scientific methods and must be accepted as an axiom of biology. (An axiom is an elementary fact that cannot be proved or derived from any other facts and therefore must be taken as a starting point.)
It's unknowable if you disregard intelligent design.
Like I said, you shouldn't lie because you can't accept what he said. First you blindly copy and paste and now you're twisting words.
Yockley ought to sue you as well - you're misinterpreting the context of the letter for your own gain. What he said was very explicit: he rejected Thaxton's use of his statement for his book, he rejected the idea of an intelligent designer and Creationist crap. You can twist it any way you want to convince yourself. I'm afraid no one else is convinced however.
Why did you lie? Yockey never said:
It only says that at this particular point in time - which was 16 years ago, chance and self-organization theories were not scientifically valid.
This is what you wished he had said.
It clearly shows that I can quote atheist sources and sources from Creationist and those who support intelligent design and present an articulate argument. You on the other hand will never quote someone that doesn't blindly agree with you.
You will just copy and paste blindly with no context, commentary or links to the source material.
You need a lesson in reading comprehension. Yockley didn't say that - I was not quoting him. Those were MY words.
They were flat out lies about what Yockey said. Total dishonesty but I expect nothing less.

ID is simple..
Just clutch you bible and repeat after me.
My god, created in the image of an advanced ape magically designed this banana.
In light of these here absolute facts, bend over and believe everything I say.
Ta-da! Creationism!.. Creation science!.. Uhm.. ermmm.. Intelligent design!!
A blatant and willful misunderstanding of the axioms of intelligent design.
This is why we can't debate with you and the others, you have no grasp regarding our side of the argument - you don't even know what you're arguing against.
I went through the evolutionary school assembly line and ate it up for a while, until logical deduction overtook my thinking. If you want to listen to the other side of the argument, I'm more than willing to tell you. But I'm done wasting the pearls, it gets tiring.

Of course not because any point of view contrary to their beliefs they blindly ignore them.
If you notice, I quote intelligent design sources and atheist sources. You will never see them quoting intelligent design sources because they blindly believe one thing and any intelligent argument against their belief is met with the same blind indignation of a Jehovah's Witness knocking at the door.

Great points.
They never refute the evidence. They never present a coherent argument. They just blindly copy and paste. Barcs couldn't even answer simple questions about a TATA or CAAT box and then ran to a Geneticist to get the answers and he still has no answers.
The point is, they have a belief in this and when that belief is challenged they respond by saying Creationist 3 times and clicking their heels.

without common ground to work with how can progress happen. your opponent is not really your opponent you both seek truth

The book Information Theory, Evolution and the Origin of Life is written by Hubert Yockey, the foremost living specialist in bioinformatics. The publisher is Cambridge University press. Yockey rigorously demonstrates that the coding process in DNA is identical to the coding process and mathematical definitions used in Electrical Engineering. This is not subjective, it is not debatable or even controversial. It is a brute fact:
“Information, transcription, translation, code, redundancy, synonymous, messenger, editing, and proofreading are all appropriate terms in biology. They take their meaning from information theory (Shannon, 1948) and are not synonyms, metaphors, or analogies.” (Hubert P. Yockey, Information Theory, Evolution, and the Origin of Life, Cambridge University Press, 2005)
Humanity's genetic split from an ape-like ancestor came about 13 million years ago, far earlier than the long-supposed era of a common ancestor of early humans and apes, suggests a first study of chimp gene mutations.
Along with shining a new genetic light on human origins, the findings published on Thursday in the journal Science point to the role that evolution plays in fostering mutations, some linked to inherited diseases, in our genes.
On the surface, this and other recent studies contradict the general consensus suggested by the fossil record: that the last common ancestor of the two species, a flat-footed ape, lived some seven million years ago.
But both observations could still be true, said paleoanthropologist John Hawks of the University of Wisconsin, Madison, who was not involved in the new study. The ape-like common ancestor species might have endured until 7 to 10 million years ago, long after the genetic split between chimps and humans, he said.
That would largely explain the difference seen between gene-based and fossil-based estimates of the date the species diverged.
DNA sequences for human and chimpanzees are nearly identical, despite vast phenotypical differences between the two species. Researchers have determined that the insertion and deletion of large pieces of DNA near genes are highly variable between humans and chimpanzees and may account for these major differences.
"These genetic gaps have primarily been caused by the activity of retroviral-like transposable element sequences," said McDonald. "Transposable elements were once considered 'junk DNA' with little or no function. Now it appears that they may be one of the major reasons why we are so different from chimpanzees."
"Our findings are generally consistent with the notion that the morphological and behavioral differences between humans and chimpanzees are predominately due to differences in the regulation of genes rather than to differences in the sequence of the genes themselves," said McDonald.

Some of us are not posting to keep him entertained. Some of us are making sure the truth is posted.

I just have trouble resisting when work is slow and I need something to pass the time. It's funny watching the OP dig himself deeper with every passing post. You are absolutely right, though, this thread has run it's course.
