No the above is what I call your way of avoiding the already existant list that I gave to you.
You have seriously tried every dirty rotten trick in the book to out debate me,
1. Questions about your claims.
2. Asking for evidence to back up those claims
3. No accepting undefined, made up nonsense terms
4. Not accepting your misuse of words like redundant
5. Not accepting your opinions and assumptions in place of evidence
6. Pointing out your dishonesty
7. Refuting what you claim evolution is or what it explains
If the above is what you call dirty tricks. Then yes. Guilty as charged.
You were the one trying to convince everyone on your thread that puncuation is not necessary and that should be able to identify a question without the question mark.
The standard of most of your posts from spelling to punctuation and many times poorly constructed answers with no signs of proof reading at all. The fact you don’t understand many of the words you misuse. Your statement above is just an empty hissy fit. Get over it.
If the homes werent built at all, would the birds still come? NO the wouldn't, so its proof that the relationship is with the house not the human, Your wrong as usual.
Which confirms my last statement that you do not have the education to understand what a relationship is and is not. You were clearly beaten on this point and have been beaten many times since. Get over it.
No what you supplied was pages of evidence that there is speculation that we once had a long standing relationship that dates back into ancient history. You have no historical documents that prove we ever inhabited this planet prior to biblical times, and you have no historical documents that prove we had any type of reltionship with wolves. Rememeber there is a very good reason why its illegal to own them.
I supplied you with pages of evidence that shows we have had a long standing relationship that dates back into ancient history with the wolf and that relationship carry's on to this day via the dog, a sub species of the Gray Wolf.
Just because you keep one in your backyard, and you feed him, is not proof of any natural type of relationship.
I never mentioned once that wolves are friends again showing you have no idea what relationship means or what constitutes one. You were slaughtered on this point regarding wolves. Take a breath and get over it.
Just because we tricked mother natural by planting crops, doesn't mean the bees know the crops belong to us. I want to know exactly how the bees know the crops belong to us. Just like I would like to know how the tree sparrow knows that the homes belong to us as well. You claiming a lot of intelligence here and I would like to know where its coming from.
You again showcase you have no idea what a relationship is. Our crops provide a large food source for the bee in one place. The bee's actions pollinate our crops thus increasing the yield. That is a relationship. End of. BTW you should proof read what you write.
Target food has not only been proven, but intelligence thats needed to explain for the gap in evolution not explaining how food gets programmed into a species is also proven.
Your inability to even show it exists on this thread proves me right again then. I am doing well
Why would I, youll just ignore it again.
and after I offered countelss pages of definition repeated over and over, you refused to accept the definition I was giving as though you knew it was the only way you might look good in this part of the debate.
You provided no such thing. You still have not. My points showing a recap with all the contradictions that you cannot answer is proof of that. Of course you could prove me wrong and supply that definition now
After quoting many parts of the bible the only thing you had to say is that the bible is not proof.
I offered you a chance to debate your use of the bible as 'a clear historical document' You declined that offer. I showed you cherry picked what you said proved it and again you refused to explain. You lost. Suck it in and wipe your eye's

To avoid the jaws, sting, and other defences of the invertebrates, anteaters have adopted the feeding strategy to lick up as many ants and termites as quickly as possible — an anteater normally spends about a minute at a nest before moving on to another — and a giant anteater has to visit up to 200 nests to consume the thousands of insects it needs to satisfy its caloric requirements. [6]
The anteater's tongue is covered with thousands of tiny hooks called filiform papillae which are used to hold the insects together with large amounts of saliva. Swallowing and the movement of the tongue are aided by side-to-side movements of the jaws. The anteater's stomach, similarly to a bird's gizzard, has hardened folds and uses strong contractions to grind the insects; a digestive process assisted by small amounts of ingested sand and dirt. [6] The tongue is attached to the sternum and moves very quickly, flicking 150 times per minute.

Then it should no problem to produce it now. Do that.
No the above is what I call your way of avoiding the already existant list that I gave to you.
Blar blar. Show your evidence for your titles claim. You spelt punctuation wrong BTW, classic
You were the one trying to convince everyone on your thread that puncuation is not necessary and that should be able to identify a question without the question mark.
(Weren’t not werent). As you have been told many times. They would not come because they would be extinct. They need us to provide their nesting sites. End of. Obviously way above your head.
If the homes werent built at all, would the birds still come? NO the wouldn't, so its proof that the relationship is with the house not the human, Your wrong as usual.
You lost this point and just because you come out with a load of old flannel does not make you right. Now where is your proof for your titles claim?
No what you supplied was pages of evidence that there is speculation .......blar ........ blar
My dog, a sub species of the Gray Wolf lives in my home as do many dogs. You cannot understand that fact is your problem but proves my point wonderfully.
Just because you keep one in your backyard, and you feed him, is not proof of any natural type of relationship.
That is why people make money for hiring out their beehives. That is why we are worried about the bees dying off. You have no clue so you should not keep showcasing your ignorance unless of course you are proud it.
Just because we tricked mother natural by planting crops .... blar blar
Enough with your fantasy world claims. Show your evidence
Target food has not only been proven, blar blar ..... lie ...... fantasy ... lie... boring
(You’ll not youll) I cannot ignore what you have not supplied here or on the other thread. Your title claims you can prove evolution wrong using target food. You cannot even prove target food exists. In fact you have done the opposite.
Why would I, youll just ignore it again.
Here come your lies. You quoted from a source you did not supply. We argued for a few pages and you played the broken link trick. Eventually you provided it and it became obvious you cherry picked from it.
After quoting many parts of the bible the only thing you had to say is that the bible is not proof.
I have no interest in your opinion. I am sick and tired of reading your opinion. Where is the evidence for your claims?
There is no fantasy in the food we eat, or ..... blar ..... bar ....... blar
Yes kiddos, its learning day here on the discovery channel. In case you didn't know this already, ants and termites are insects, and in fact, when the article mentions insects, it is specifically referring to ants and termites.
Do you never read what you post? Article clearly states anteaters eat insects. I have emboldened the specific sentence to help you out.
Which could easily be explained from the ants cross breeding and he's targeting harsher bred species.
Interestingly, it also states that Mr Anteater clearly isn't as well adapted to eating the insects as a designer should have made it, it does after all have to run away after a few minutes to avoid the the stings and bites of its prey...so...
Depends on if the ants are the same species he was designed to target.
Long sticky tongue for licking up ants....
Sharp claws for digging out ants.....
Super sharp hearing and sense of smell for locating ants.....
Delicate skin....run away....run away
reading further, seems our mystical designer failed to provide strong enough digestive juices so poor old Mr Anteater also has to eat sand and grit in order to grind up the insects.
Can grit be a target food?
I know what your game is Colin, you just get this selective amnesia, LOL. You just think its so funny to keep having me repost things because you claim to have never gotten them. Well ding dong, your request is in the OP, so you can walk yourself back to that.

The only reason they could become extinct is if something happened to their natural habitat, and living in homes made by humans is not a natural habitat.

natural
nat·u·ral/ˈnaCHərəl/Adjective: Existing in or caused by nature; not made or caused by humankind.
Noun: A person regarded as having an innate gift or talent for a particular task or activity.
Adverb: Naturally: "keep walking—just act natural".
Youll have to re read the OP and the thread as its all here.
Target food has not only been proven, blar blar ..... lie ...... fantasy ... lie... boring
Enough with your fantasy world claims. Show your evidence
Target food was easily proven with the list of food menus that I posted about various species. It's apparen't that species are targeting specific foods. What does evolution call this ability? The crystal ball diet LOL .
Why would I, youll just ignore it again.
(You’ll not youll) I cannot ignore what you have not supplied here or on the other thread. Your title claims you can prove evolution wrong using target food. You cannot even prove target food exists. In fact you have done the opposite.
It doesn't matter if it was cherry picked, the claim was about the entire bible.
Here come your lies. You quoted from a source you did not supply. We argued for a few pages and you played the broken link trick. Eventually you provided it and it became obvious you cherry picked from it.
I challenged you on that link and you refused to enter into the debate. you therefore lost the right to refer to the bible as a 'clear historical document'. That is the price you pay for your dishonest approach to posters on this site.
You showed then and continue to show now, how dishonest you are.
Youll have to re read the OP and the entire thread as its all covered.
There is no fantasy in the food we eat, or ..... blar ..... bar ....... blar
I have no interest in your opinion. I am sick and tired of reading your opinion. Where is the evidence for your claims?
So your answer is as it always is. Refusal to supply a definition. FYI I re read the OP and guess what. Loads of your drivel but no definition of target food.
No the above is what I call your way of avoiding the already existant list that I gave to you.
Then it should no problem to produce it now. Do that.
I know what your game is Colin, you just get this selective amnesia, LOL. You just think its so funny to keep having me repost things because you claim to have never gotten them. Well ding dong, your request is in the OP, so you can walk yourself back to that.
I did it was crap. Where was the definition?
Blar blar. Show your evidence for your titles claim. You spelt punctuation wrong BTW, classic
Read the OP.
Sorry but you are wrong. Here is a hint. They are called 'THE HOUSE SPARROW'.
The only reason they could become extinct is if something happened to their natural habitat, and living in homes made by humans is not a natural habitat.
I did, It was crap. No evidence at all.

Nah just got your pitiful reply which is the same as you admitting I am right and you are wrong ..... AGAIN
Just because you keep one in your backyard, and you feed him, is not proof of any natural type of relationship.
My dog, a sub species of the Gray Wolf lives in my home as do many dogs. You cannot understand that fact is your problem but proves my point wonderfully.

So you say but then everything you say is complete nonsense. The above is no different.
When humans cause or make things happen, its not considered to be natural...
Not even close
Youll have to re read the OP and the thread as its all here.
Yep. You cant supply the evidence
Target food was easily proven ......... Utter trash
Dishonesty is natural to you that proves not everything man does is not natural Cherry Picking (fallacy)
It doesn't matter if it was cherry picked, the claim was about the entire bible.
Actually that text defines what a tooth is .
In science
Choosing to make selective choices among competing evidence, so as to emphasize those results that support a given position, while ignoring or dismissing any findings that do not support it, is a practice known as "cherry picking" and is a hallmark of poor science or pseudo-science.
The terms for target food are listed in the OP and plenty of other people were able to read it and understand it with no problem.
No the above is what I call your way of avoiding the already existant list that I gave to you.
Then it should no problem to produce it now. Do that.
I know what your game is Colin, you just get this selective amnesia, LOL. You just think its so funny to keep having me repost things because you claim to have never gotten them. Well ding dong, your request is in the OP, so you can walk yourself back to that.
So your answer is as it always is. Refusal to supply a definition. FYI I re read the OP and guess what. Loads of your drivel but no definition of target food.
It's as easy as you going back to read it.
Here is your chance to prove me wrong. Quote where you defined target food. Anywhere from the two threads will do.
If you cant do that write the definition. You say you have supplied it many times so it should be easy if that were true. WE BOTH KNOW IT IS NOT.
But they started out as what was once referred to as the tree sparrow, are you saying they forgot how to survive?
The only reason they could become extinct is if something happened to their natural habitat, and living in homes made by humans is not a natural habitat.
Sorry but you are wrong. Here is a hint. They are called 'THE HOUSE SPARROW'
Who ever said I said it, I'm quoting the definition of the term natural.
When humans cause or make things happen, its not considered to be natural...
So you say but then everything you say is complete nonsense. The above is no different.
It's not cherry picking when 6 other definers agree.
Dishonesty is natural to you that proves not everything man does is not natural Cherry Picking
There is no competing evidence for Target food.
Choosing to make selective choices among competing evidence,
There are no findings that do not support Target food, and if you feel otherwise, I challenge you to supply them.
so as to emphasize those results that support a given position, while ignoring or dismissing any findings that do not support it,
You mean sort of like how someone on this thread came up with the idea that vestigial organs are actually a part of evolution when there is no proof to that. Or how you actually claimed that air on earth proves we are from earth. Totally defines a dirty colin.
is a practice known as "cherry picking" and is a hallmark of poor science or pseudo-science.
Just because they have an odd step in feeding young is not proof of anything. Thats like saying human babies should have an accessible target food, but the problem here is that first of all his could have gone extinct. The other problem is humans could have an accesible target food as babies, we just don't know. On the other hand we have always assumed it the responsiblity of the mother to feed the baby. There is nothing odd about that, look around, its actually pretty common.
Were Wasps intended to feed their young by hunting protein for them which they themselves cannot consume? See with many species of wasp, adults cannot digest protein, however, when the larva get hungry, the wasp must hunt and kill another insect, then mash it up in its mouth and feed it to the larva. Is that behavior natural? Shouldn't the larva have an accessible target food? I guess Wasps were brought here in the same spaceship that had humans, sharks, dolphins and 90% of every other species to ever walk the earth it in. Must have been fun gathering up all those creatures and sustaining them in a spaceship.

Take into account that we over use our ability to adapt, as we have to or we would die.
From the overall picture, you can see that we are missing target food, and it didn't just go extinct. Everytime I bring up target food, you fail to do a fair comparison when your making your examples. Remember if they evolved, we should have too. If they have target food, and prove it by how so many do, then so should we, but we don't.
We were no intended to make tools, often times we have to make tools to make the tools, so there is just some more obvoius truth for you that its redundant work.
Redundant processes are proof that we are having to go out of our way to get something accomplished.
Now if it were natural, we would accomplish the task with our hands, and end of story, but thats not how it works.
As a result, you have suffered by reducing your quality of life. You have to spend way more energy and time to get something accomplished that if it had been a natural scenerio, would have just been accomplished with your hands on the first work.
If evolution is real, it sure is failing.
How in the world can you look around and accept the idea of evolution? The great mysteries of the world remain unsolved and humanity has squandered all their resources on garbage. We have become an indulged planet of entitled gluttons with only sensibilities of greed and gluttony.
More plausible is the notion that SOME entities were looking for a refuge for souls that were occupied with loftier pursuits than what humanity is mired in.
Our ability to adapt is not any type of proof that we are from here.
Human babies DO have a target food. It's called breast milk and it's readily available. Humans don't have to chew up something poisonous and regurgitate it for their young... but if they did we know you'd be the first to point it out and say it means we aren't from earth. By your logic, humans are more likely from earth than wasps.
If they occur naturally in the same way, then they are natural, otherwise no.
You call that an "odd step" in feeding their young, but then when a human does something like grow a garden and harvest crops or cook food it is considered an odd step or process by you and referred to as not natural. How is cooking food or growing a garden any stranger than that?
There is no reason why religion should seem to be silly. The history of our life and how we came to be has nothing silly about it. Granted not everything in the bible is easily understood, but the marks I have brought up are clear that earth is not our home. You might think thats silly but I think its disturbing.

Yeah I had that epiphany about 14 years ago when I realized how silly religion was.
I'm sorry but I never ignore anyone, I might think that the question is childless but thats it. The way we used to survive, was with a lot more work obviously and a lot more reduction in our quality of life.
Take into account that we over use our ability to adapt, as we have to or we would die.
Nope. Technology and "over adapting" as you call it, has only been around for a thousand years. How did we survive before agriculture? I've asked you this before and you left it ignored.
We don't have target food, thats allready been proven, there are other species that don't as well. Its odd how Dog is supposed to be mans best friend, and he too doesn't have any target food. We have to actually manufacture food for him. Is it possible that he has always been mans best friend since we were placed together?
From the overall picture, you can see that we are missing target food, and it didn't just go extinct. Everytime I bring up target food, you fail to do a fair comparison when your making your examples. Remember if they evolved, we should have too. If they have target food, and prove it by how so many do, then so should we, but we don't.
Negative, captain. You make the unfair comparisons, because it's based on a completely made up concept that only applies to a handful a creatures in the history of our planet. You can't say something proves we aren't from earth, unless you can find a creature that doesn't have it, and then actually prove that they are indeed not from earth. That part needs to be proven before you can claim target food proves anything whatsoever. You know, experimentation and whatnot. The reason science exists.
Thats easy, its not natural. We have to use other tools, and electricty, and large machines to make tools so that we can complete tasks, its very redundant, and its not natural, there is no way it was intended.
We were no intended to make tools, often times we have to make tools to make the tools, so there is just some more obvoius truth for you that its redundant work.
Prove the intent. I know I've asked you.
Hey they have to eat, and I'll admit it looks redundant but ants are not that large, you probably have to eat a lot of them to fill up.
Redundant processes are proof that we are having to go out of our way to get something accomplished.
Redundant processes? You mean like going from nest to nest over and over again to suck up ants. Yeah, that's not redundant or anything. Humans are redundant despite they have the biggest variety in their diet of any creature on it. It's redundant
No we don't, we used a bucket, and a pale and sometimes gloves, and othertimes we use a large processing machine, and pasturization, and homogenization and fortify the milk so no your wrong, its not natural.
Now if it were natural, we would accomplish the task with our hands, and end of story, but thats not how it works.
I love when you set yourself up like this. Do we not use our hands to milk cows?
You have to plan ahead because your not in your natural enviroment.
Grow gardens? Do we not make tools with our hands? Do we not plan ahead using our intelligence? Again, how did we survive before agriculture. Please explain that.
No but the fact that humans have been excluded from the term natural is also proof in itself that we are not natural to this planet.
We accomplish everything with our hands. I'm using them right now to communicate this message to you. Also here's a news flash for you. Unnatural means man made. It doesn't mean "not from earth". You may want to get that fact straight before claiming things are not natural and that it proves anything.
Already debunked this. Technology makes things easier, not harder and is all developed via ou
Technology makes things easier, hum, I wonder why we would feel the need to make things easier, you can see your just a day late and a dollar short in understanding whats going on here.
Already debunked this. Technology makes things easier, not harder and is all developed via our hands and our intellect.
