[CONTINUED FROM OPENING POST, THIS IS POST #2 OF 2]
11. ATHEIST MAY EVEN PROCURE SOME RESEARCH ARTICLES PURPORTEDLY SHOWING EVOLUTION IN THE LAB (HOORAY!) BUT IT’S ALL BUNKUM & BALDERDASH:
I SAY: This is MICRO-EVOLUTION, yep, the BAIT & SWITCH with NATURAL SELECTION.
Nonetheless, here goes:
This is actually a good one but thankfully l’ve heard of this already. Phase-variable genes = genes with variable expression. That’s not actual gene mutation in the lab. It’s a gene that does indeed change its form in the lab but it was encoded to act thus.
Clue is in the terminology: “Microevolution” is never, ever going to be evolution by gene mutation.
This is another interesting one.
Quote: The hybrid progeny showed novel mutations that were not attributable to either (diploid) parent showing an increase in amino acid changes. In long-term culture, up to 800 generations, there was a variable but gradual erosion of progeny genomes towards triploidy, yet retention of elevated copy number was observed at several core housekeeping loci.
They identified multiple SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) in the offspring, that were not attributable to the parents i.e. they didn’t come from shuffling of the parent’s chromosomes.
However, as l’ve said:
So, what l gather is that while these SNPs led to new amino acids being formed, the net result in the protein being coded for was null change. It is a neutral mutation, and in fact there’s a clue in the name: “Single Nucleotide Polymorphism” i.e. just a variant of the same basic thing. Thankfully the new amino acids being produced would not have changed the proteins being transcribed, and because thankfully, a protein has inbuilt tolerances and the 3D shape of the protein is what matters. It’s like a woman, if her makeup is good most guys consider her legit, no matter if she’s an absolutely evil psycho. It’s the outer form of the protein that does the job.
Bottom line: if there were new improved functionality, i.e. if THERE WERE EVOLUTION BY GENE MUTATION, EVOLUTION PER SE, the authors would have shouted it out loud.
Quoting the article abstract:
“Long-term maintenance of Culex mosquito laboratory lines allowed this study to witness the emergence of novel cytoplasmic incompatibility patterns, showing that they arose from rapid evolution of Wolbachia genomes through gene loss and recombination.”
Basically what l infer is that bacteria started getting messed up genomes when bred in the lab and this means genes got lost, and also genes began appearing that were reconstituted from different strands of DNA during bacterial reproduction (asexual, binary fission), rather than mutations along the DNA code.
What this is, is loss of gene information. and mixing up of gene information to create new genes. However, the result was clearly deleterious on the mosquito, making the male and female incompatible at the cellular level and i think that means they couldn’t protect each other from each others’ infections (“We showed that loss of specific cidA gene copies in some wPip genomes results in a loss of compatibility.”), and l’m unsure if there was any innate benefit to the bacteria either, and l’m unsure if mosquito gender incompatibility helps the bacteria as they wouldn’t be able to continue to new generations. You could say the bacteria could then thrive in the soil after host dies but then, the bacteria doesn’t need any genetic change for that, it was happy as pigs in mud before any mutations and in fact, once in the soil, l’m sure the bacteria will really feel the loss in parts of its genome and the weird nonsensical genes it acquired through cycles of reproduction,
I’d give this one a miss too.
The rest of what you was posted seem to not even articles but general Google searches
Explainer: Gene alleles are variant forms of genes e.g. black hair, brown hair, orange hair. NATURAL SELECTION changes frequencies of occurrence of rival alleles.
Phenotype refers to the appearance resulting from gene alleles and how their expression shapes out under environmental influence.
THE ARTICLE REFERS TO MANIPULATING THE OCCURRENCE OF PHENOTYPES, and as such this is clearly about [“NATURAL”] SELECTION (well, not necessarily “natural” selection, but selective breeding, same thing for the purposes of this discussion).
12. EXORCISM OF POLTERGEIST - WE EACH HAVE AN INNER JINN - IF A PERSON IS CONTROLLED BY THEIR INNER JINN, IT WILL TURN NASTY WHEN CORNERED, TO SHOO THE QUESTIONER AWAY:
I SAY: Powerful curses flow out of people’s mouths when confronted with Truth. The following is par for the course and not the first poltergeist encounter on this forum, it happens when you corner an Atheist using logic and reason. Curiously l have actually witnessed emoji-weeping and emoji-gnashing of teeth, and reference to a peer (“scheming”) group, as per the Bible:
Matthew 13:42:
“Then they will throw those who have done evil into the furnace of fire, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
Psalm 37:12:
“The wicked scheme against the righteous and gnash their teeth at them.”
It is noted that the person involved is usually a calm, businesslike spreader of Revisionist falsehoods. When confronted with contrary evidence, he ignores or changes the topic, or just copies+pastes videos and text made by others. This fallacy of Invincible Ignorance makes him literally a liar, which he erroneously thinks is a mere insult when in fact it is a formal designation. To the extent that he would drown out extensive generous counterarguments to the nutty theory that the Arabs and the whole Islamic world, were ignorant to Makkah, the holiest place in Islam, really having been Petra in Jordan, but it was supposedly changed to Makkah on the fly. It’s an exercise in Last Thursdayism (the belief that the world was created last Thursday, or rather, that you cannot prove otherwise, i.e. Invincible Ignorance) - which is Revisionism in a nutshell.
Some rebuttals of his incessant and bizarre insistence that Percy Pickerington-Smythe of the Old Boys’ Club did some research and discovered that Makkah the holiest city of Islam was originally Petra in Jordan, and thus by implication Islam is all a big con and WE DON’T EVEN NEED TO STUDY IT LET ALONE REBUT IT, rahh rahh rahh!

Also note the ultimate challenge to the Revisionist two-man conga line’s insistence that allllll Abrahamic faiths were made up tales and derived from murky polytheist animist henotheist primitive dark and did l say murky, anterior sources: HERE
It is a shame really because he and others like him typically make excellent rebuttals of social evils in the world.
Some earlier poltergeist encounters / exorcisms on this forum:
→ The substantial corruption of the Bible & Talmud making it unsuitable for secular society (Islam is free of this sickness, sure it has instructions on how to conduct war but those instructions are noble and Islam can easily be rolled back for secular societies but the sickness in the Bible & Talmud offend the universal human soul, these books contain the most profound evil and it is seen to be enacted today) (Islam is the only force that would protect Judaism & Xtianity and historically has, and that is a fact, only in recent history have fake Islamic groups popped up which provoke hate against Islam, they were never Muslim though)
- this is not to discredit the my faithful Jewish and Xtian cousins themselves - they are still my cousins
→ The hard logic that Atheism demands immediate suicide and cannot have any morality - this caused an outpouring of evil e.g. cursing and attempts to pre-empt debate - there were puerile objections that pleasure is something to live for, which is basically justifying depravity, and the objection that Atheists can be decent people, of course but the point is: the human soul CANNOT be explained by materialism, the soul is from the Light (Soul) of Allah, and thus is pure existence, and that is why we live and because the Light of Allah is infinite, all morality stems from this, and in fact the very feeling of pleasure can itself only be explained by supernatural means - throwing chemicals against a wall won’t make the chemical mix feel pleasure no matter how hard you throw them - try it and see! And please don’t pretend you have a counterargument, you do NOT, l don’t make weak arguments and you are NOT the right person to outdo me, stick to swearing like a poltergeist my dear Atheist / closet-Atheist!).
IN CLOSING - here’s my loveletter to Evolution
I open the floor to discussion. Insulters: Please, keep your inner demons on the inside. Abuse delegitimises the insulter.
If you feel any good has come of this thread, then praise my mommy and daddy. Rich In Paradise. Thank you and peace!
