Everyone knows that visitors from other worlds once occupied our planet, is this ground breaking news to you? Who do you think built the pryamids?
I haven't frequented this forum in about 6 months and tooth is still going on about "target food"? Would I be right in assuming that not a single reference to "target food" has been found outside of tooth's imagination yet?
I don't have to, all of the proof and evidence is allready listed in all of the diets you can look up and the details.
The fact is animals don't experiment with food unless they are starving.
There is obvious proof that choices are automatically made as a species, as a whole, all of the time. What this means in case you can't grasp your one line come backs around this, is that first of all you are wrong.
Species appear to know what they are suppose to be eating, and they don't experiment to learn of this. Second they are all choosing the same choices.
This means that intelligence was shared with them so that they would know what to eat, as they don't have cell phones to tell each other what to eat, and they don't hold meetings.
Well excuse me but it appears to be you that has more questions that answers. You are unable to provide proof that I share a common ancestor with apes. Your unable to prove that a species actually can change into another species instead of this joke of an idea you call specieation. Your also unable to provide any proof that all of any changes are part of this grand sceme called evolution. If you ask me, you just assume a lot and have no answers here.
Posting info about speciation is not proof that a species can change into another species, your fooling yourself and in the process trying to dumb down fellow ATS members.
Aside from wiki, Pye has never had anyone challenge his work so you are obviously wrong.
Relying on relative isolation to determine if something is a different species is just as lame as it gets. I allready proved earler that we have very good reason and proof of why we can't rely on such rubbish. We have non matching species that are able to sucessfully breed with one another, like the horse and the donkey, and the wolf and the dog, and the cat and the rabbit. We also have same species life that is not able to breed. Like my neighbor is unable to get pregnant and doctors have checked out her husband and everything about her and have no answers. This obviously is not proof that she has speciated. Evolutionists would obviously assume otherwise.
That has got to be the lamest thing I have ever heard for figuring out if a species has changed.
No you took it out of context, what I said was the post by wiki regarding star child is a false page. It's not written by Pye and wiki refuses to take it down even though Pye is not authorizing its contents.
It's clear that you don't understand what Target food is or how it works. A diet as for example will not and cannot prove target food to be wrong. And if you think it can, then it just goes to show your lack of understanding what it is and how it works.
I understand the theory, but it contradicts every diet ever written.
OFT is obviously false, there is no way it could be possible with species having an afixed diet. Don't take my word for it, look up the diet of any species and you will find we have afixed one. Random foraging is never mentioned in any of them.
Every diet I have postet supports the phase of hunger and abalone supports target food, so again your wrong.
It does, you can look up the eating habbits of any species and you can see there is no evolutionary connection there.
There is no stacks of information the prove Target Food false, there is nothing that proves it wrong. If target food is wrong then so must all of the diets that are listed.
Target food has evolved since you were last on.
You cannot show proof target food exists so how can you assume a possibility of it going extinct? Pegged diet. Do you ever get tired of making ridiculous and uninformed comments?
Generaly no, there is always the posibility of food going extinct and also season diets like with the squirrel. But we still have a pegged diet.
I asked you what the hell random foraging was. I already know you don’t have a clue about optimal foraging and that your denial means you don’t intend to.
Optimum foraging is false, if it were true, species would never go hungry as they would always leave food behind.
Your link to the squirrel has been shown to prove YOU wrong so many times now I am convinced you are so dishonest you couldn’t even pee in a straight line.
Then you know its false, the squirrel alone proves it false.
Again I remind you. target food fantasy is your construct. YOU provide the answers which we all know you cannot. Science major indeed. Another tall tale with no evidence.
Hey I'm easy, I'm asking YOU for answers.
So you don’t understand what optimal foraging is.
No I get it, to optimize energy.
Mule deer have found a balance in their foraging behaviour which limits their interactions with predator species. While more abundant food sources are found at the edge of the forests, mule deer typically forage in open meadows, protecting themselves from the large cats and bears that prey on them from the cover of the forest
I refer you to stereo's post in your failed thread.
The abalone eats sea weed or kelp, that is the target food for that species. There is nothing else
The example I gave? I thought the link was broken? So you lied. If you had bothered to read past where you realised how wrong you are you would find no mention of winter was made. See above.
True but the example you gave didn't apply because it was a deer starving in the winter, nice try though.
So you chose to ignore where it talks about different populations having different strategy’s and prey. Another demonstration of your selective reading then.
And this proves my case...
As you can see its only in special cases to kill more than they eat.
Of course you would claim it made no sense. I see all you are left with is denial. If food has no bearing on evolution as you claim
None of that made any sense. It sounds like your so overwhelmed with your faith that you actually think its responsible for everything.
You cannot provide one valid example of an observation that backs up your claim which is why you provide none.
Target food is already an observation, I don't get what you are claiming.
All you have is denial and dishonesty
You haven't presented me with anything that claims target food can't exist.
Are you really that unable to read. I don’t care. Again:
He used outdated science, and got outdated results.
Jeeze. As far as I am concerned the starchild has been done to death and until pye opens his evidence to scientific scrutiny there is nothing to talk about. Got it yet?
Read the info from his new site and see for yourself.
Thats funny because the way I understood it was, they "were" aliens.
Ancients Egyptians built the pyramids. They were a lot smarter than the twits that say it was aliens.
And you still don't get it. I can see that you don't have a clue about what is going on. It never was about getting a diet correct, I pulled that diet off of wiki, just like anyone else can do. If you had the diet right and I was off, I'm still correct, because its about his diet whatever that may be. Your just 20 carts behind the horse.
Actually, I've shown you many times that you were wrong. I showed you that the diet you listed for deer was wrong. I did the same for squirrels, abalone, and many other animals. What is clear is that you are constantly making false statements to support a failed idea.
The ONLY thing I have been presented with to date is the squirrel diet, and it CLEARLY states that his diet changes when he is hungry. So your wrong again. The deer was clearly starving, and even if I'm wrong, then its just part of his diet and I'm still correct. You just don't get it.
That is a well known lie. I've already presented strong evidence that deer experiment with food. Squirrels, skunks, racoons, and many other animals experiment.
I never claimed to be a creationist, you just assumed that. Assuming is a common trait amongst evolutionists. I believe in intelligence. Take that however you choose to see it.
What this means is that you are a close minded creationist that will tell lies whenever they can and have no shame about repeating lies.
There may not be any target food around for them at this time, but thats not proof that there never was at on time. This is why I keep saying that enviroment can change this, or if they were brought here from another planet like the bible states, would also leave them in the predicament.
More lies. No surprise. Herbivores from cattle to beetles eat whatever is around. There is no target food.
I don't have or believe in a faith so how is that going to work
Even more lies.
You should be a creationist lecturer if not already one. Same style and tactics and it is all rubbish.
Speciation is not proof of anything related to this. Your fooling youself, where is your proof?
Evidence already posted.
Where are the bones of all of the inbetween species for all of the species here on earth?
Evidence already posted.
And who are you going to trust in this matter, the person that actually holds the skull and pays to have it tested, or the 3rd party that gets their own idea of it and writes up a wiki column?
There you are wrong since the wiki references two studies saying he is wrong.
If I need high school, you need preschool. You just don't get that you can't make a theory out of nothing. Evolution isn't even a scientific theory, it fails the litmus test for that. It's not predictable, if it was we would know what species we are evolving into right now, and we don't. Evolution is not testable because you cant predict if or when its going to happen.
Take a basic biology course when you get to high school to learn why you are wrong.
True, but in that case the work becomes an opinion by someone not involved in the work. So what your telling me is that you will take someones 3rd party opinion over the work of the owner of the skull. It's obvious to me that your more concearned with the result rather than the truth.
That's lame. Wikipedia does not have to get approval.
Target food has NEVER been proven to be a lie, and if it was, I wasn't here to address it. There is no evidence against it. I have however been told by an ATS member that they can't believe I made up this theory and they were certain I stole the work from someone else, and they would find out from who. So happy hunting.
Your claims have all been shot down repeatedly. Still you continue to post the issues after they have been shown to be false. That changes a mistake into a lie.
Species have a clear motivation to choosing specific food, which is also why they all choose the SAME food.
False.
Oh OFT was probably recently written by a discruntled ATS member that hates Target Food, no doubt. It has no merrit, no proof and there isn't a shred of it in any diet you can find.
So OFT shows target foods to be false. Not a surprise to anyone.
You keep saying that but I have yet to see anything that proves that kelp is NOT the target food for abalone. But please by all means, bring it on, I want to know for myself as well. But I think you will fail like everyone else has done.
Already showed that your claim for the abalone diet was wrong.
I think if everyone accepted evolution the way you do at this point, doctors would have been telling women that are unable to bare children that it is possible they have speciated. Of course this has never happened and if it did, someone would get sued.
Hard to understand your statement when you do not and will not learn the meaning of evolution as used in science.
Well I don't consider them eating any and all plants a form of experimening, this is why the diet claims they are an herbivore.
That is a bald-faced lie. Deer experiment with food at all times of the year.
So you agree that I'm no longer wrong, cool.
It changed from a demonstrably wrong idea to a demonstrably idea.
Thats funny because the way I understood it was, they "were" aliens.
And you still don't get it. I can see that you don't have a clue about what is going on. It never was about getting a diet correct, I pulled that diet off of wiki, just like anyone else can do.

The abalone is perhaps the best example.
You cannot show proof target food exists so how can you assume a possibility of it going extinct? Pegged diet. Do you ever get tired of making ridiculous and uninformed comments?
The larvae are lecithotrophic (i.e. feed off a yolk sac). The adults are herbivorous and feed with their rhipidoglossan radula on macroalgae, preferring red or brown algae. Sizes vary from 20 mm (Haliotis pulcherrima) to 200 mm (or even more) (Haliotis rufescens).
Can you find a specific diet that includes OFT?
I asked you what the hell random foraging was. I already know you don’t have a clue about optimal foraging and that your denial means you don’t intend to.
There isn't anything that linking to he squirrel could make me out to be dishonest over? I have no idea what your talking about.
Your link to the squirrel has been shown to prove YOU wrong so many times now I am convinced you are so dishonest you couldn’t even pee in a straight line.
I'm not going to play the colin repeat game with you.
Again I remind you. target food fantasy is your construct. YOU provide the answers which we all know you cannot. Science major indeed. Another tall tale with no evidence.
Simple, they learned what not to do.
Now ask how did the deer make this decision? Experimentation, trial and error, following the lead of a more experienced member of the herd. All the things you deny and why you claim the link does not work
Your links don't work in this part of the country Colin, no big shocker.
The example I gave? I thought the link was broken? So you lied. If you had bothered to read past where you realised how wrong you are you would find no mention of winter was made. See above.
Oh I can guess a multituide of reasons.
So you chose to ignore where it talks about different populations having different strategy’s and prey. Another demonstration of your selective reading then.
But hey. Explain why a lion kills more than he can eat if this was his target food.
To catch his prey of course.
Of course you would claim it made no sense. I see all you are left with is denial. If food has no bearing on evolution as you claim
1. Tell me why a cheetah runs fast
It's not that I know of.
2. Explain why a flower is shaped to allow only one type of animal to pollinate it
obviously to process his food in a different way.
3. Explain why the basking shark has no teeth and such a large mouth
Abalone clearly provides evidence for actuall target food, the squirrel diet provides phase one and two of the hunger.
You cannot provide one valid example of an observation that backs up your claim which is why you provide none.
There is no denial, I welcome anyone that can prove it wrong to please do so.
All you have is denial and dishonesty
Well duh, I think when you present a skull for alien testing it is to be for scientific scrutiny.
Are you really that unable to read. I don’t care. Again:
I could really care less about pye and his refusal to present his evidence for scientific scrutiny. Again the point I was making is that YOU are cherry picking again what you want to believe and what you refuse to understand. You continually display ‘Optimal Ignorance’
You mean like how he presented it to...
Jeeze. As far as I am concerned the starchild has been done to death and until pye opens his evidence to scientific scrutiny there is nothing to talk about. Got it yet?
At least I invested some time into learning about evolution, and while you might not agree with my understanding of it all, you can disprove my view of it.
How many more times. Your example was poven not to support your argument. You failed again
The abalone is perhaps the best example.
Learn what optimal foraging means and you will see how stupid your question is.
Can you find a specific diet that includes OFT?
You have been shown the link to the squirrel actually showed you wrong yet you ignore it and continue to post it. Dishonest
There isn't anything that linking to he squirrel could make me out to be dishonest over? I have no idea what your talking about.
You're not going to provide supporting evidence either. Dishonest to a fault
I'm not going to play the colin repeat game with you.
You have stated many times they dont learn, they know what their target food is. So you lied then
Simple, they learned what not to do.
Does not stop you from getting informed or does education not work in your part of the country? Still does not answer how you can claim my link talked about winter when you claimed not to be able to open it.
Your links don't work in this part of the country Colin, no big shocker.
I dont want your guess I want your answer with evidence
Oh I can guess a multituide of reasons.
Yes. Antelope are fast. Its an arms race so the antelope shapes the cheetah and the cheetah shapes the antelope. Food plays a big part in evolution
To catch his prey of course.
Dont know very much do you. Flowers of some plants ensure they are ferilised by producing nectar that only one type of animal can reach. The humming bird is one example. The bird is shaped by the flower and the flower the bird. Their relationship has played a big part in their evolution based on food.
It's not that I know of.
So again food has shaped and played a part in the evolution of the basking shark.
obviously to process his food in a different way.
Your claim has been shown to be false. Try again
Abalone clearly provides evidence for actuall target food, the squirrel diet provides phase one and two of the hunger.
Target food does not exist, there is nothing to prove wrong. You can though and have been on every occassion
There is no denial, I welcome anyone that can prove it wrong to please do so.
You really are that dense. Maybe you dont cherry pick. Maybe you really cant comprehend what you read.
Well duh, I think when you present a skull for alien testing it is to be for scientific scrutiny.
What are you talking about, its a prime example of target food. It's one food first of all, and it provides all the necessary nutrients the abalone needs, there is no other food in the picture. So your obviously wrong.
How many more times. Your example was poven not to support your argument. You failed again
I allready read it, and it doesn't apply to anyones diet that I can think of.
Learn what optimal foraging means and you will see how stupid your question is.
No the squirrel is in a phase one and phase two of hunger. There is nothing to be proven wrong.
You have been shown the link to the squirrel actually showed you wrong yet you ignore it and continue to post it. Dishonest
I don't know if your OCD or ADHD but I'm not playing the repeat game with you anylonger.
You're not going to provide supporting evidence either. Dishonest to a fault
There is a big difference between what to eat and where or when to eat.
You have stated many times they dont learn, they know what their target food is. So you lied then
I was referring to an older talk we had about a deer eating bark from a tree.
Does not stop you from getting informed or does education not work in your part of the country? Still does not answer how you can claim my link talked about winter when you claimed not to be able to open it.
Then don't ask such trivial questions.
I dont want your guess I want your answer with evidence
I don't think so. Not any more than my neighbor next door smoking cigerretts shaping evolution.
Yes. Antelope are fast. Its an arms race so the antelope shapes the cheetah and the cheetah shapes the antelope. Food plays a big part in evolution
So you think that because there is this obvious relationship between them, it must be because of evolution. There couldn't possibly be intelligence involved which makes a hell of a lot more sense. This evolution is smarter than any combined life I have ever heard of.
Dont know very much do you. Flowers of some plants ensure they are ferilised by producing nectar that only one type of animal can reach. The humming bird is one example. The bird is shaped by the flower and the flower the bird. Their relationship has played a big part in their evolution based on food.
Ya but you could say that about anything with all the credit that your giving to this process of evolution. My other neighbor likes to do drugs, you could say that is from evolution as well. He has evolved in a society where peer pressure has forced him to abuse his body. Evolution is not peeking around every corner, evolution does not have its doings in everything that we see. That is just fantasy and its speculation to boot, where is your proof?
So again food has shaped and played a part in the evolution of the basking shark.
So your nonsense remark has been shown to be just that.
I'm not going to repost the abalone and squirrel diets, as I have allready a few times. If you fell asleep its probably because of the weight of evolution pouring down upon you.
Your claim has been shown to be false. Try again
Then what is the preprogrammed instinct species have to locate food?
Target food does not exist, there is nothing to prove wrong. You can though and have been on every occassion
Pye welcomes resistance about the skull, he wants to get to the bottom of it just like anyone else does. Besides you have no right attacking him if you have failed to at least read his reports. All you ever complained about was how he had never gone public with his findings and now that he has you refuse to read them. Bad.
You really are that dense. Maybe you dont cherry pick. Maybe you really cant comprehend what you read.
So far tooth has shown an inability to:
1. learn what science means by evolution
2. post any scientific evidence against evolution
3. learn that the bible is a good part fiction
I have seen assumptions that evolution is proof of diversity, but there is no proof, only assumption.
