1.19. In defense of T.

McAfee’s creation myth, PV Runyon (www.the-patriot-svoice.org) denies xenotransplantation; he thinks it’s an animal! No. It’s “the transplantation

of living cells, tissues or organs from one species to another such as from pigs to humans”

(Wikipedia). R. then says that since humans are intelligent, only a super-intelligence

could bring us into being. Possible, but unnecessary. Intellect — like the many capacities we share with other animals — is better explained as the product of millions of years of adaptive pressure — well evidenced in the scientific literature — and in no need of

the supernatural. Read the Jan.09 SciAm, if you can, Mr. R. It will open your eyes.

My Answer:

 

Wendy, For all your knowledge and your touted educated prowess you are lacking greatly in the demeanor of common sense. Your lack of understanding of metaphor comparison leaves Mr. McAfee in a much better steed than yourself.

What I was metaphorically saying is that xenotransplantation has not occurred naturally, as the immune system should be a key indicator. With man’s dabble into transplantation of cells, tissue and organs we find that without a continuing fight to stave off the natural demise of foreign bodies we find transplantation can not be the norm but a mere temporary fix and a fix I must add, has a most unpleasant side effect, like living a daily dose of the loss of natural bodily functions.

As we must all agree, appearances are not always what they are perceived. Though, you embrace the religion of Darwinism doesn’t make it right or correct! There are far too many discrepancies that cannot and have not been addressed that leaves an abhorrent taste to the pallet. Please explain to us poor dumb people why after all these millions of years of adaptive pressure we can not produce one instance of any living organism presently caught in the act of change. Millions and millions of species all around us and not one? You Darwinians also possess millions of fossils showing separate and distinct species, why hasn’t any one provided a sequential progression.

Keep going Wendy, you make God look better all the time.

1.13.What drives the world’s McAffees to insist that species are fixed by supernatural fiat? Is it the fear that an account in which our genetic identity is malleable threatens the notion that we’re created in the image of a god? What makes xenotransplantation, cloning, gene therapy, gene splicing possible? Natural Selection. Biotechnology demonstrates that the concept “species” is a useful convention, not a natural fact.

There are serious moral questions, but they are not about whether Genesis has it right. Should we grow human organs in nonhuman animals? Should we use nonhuman

genetic material to combat human disease? These are the issues, Mr. M.; the sun’s long

set for creation mythology.

My answer:

 

 

There are a couple things I would like to point out in Prof. Lee’s assumptions, but first I should point out that there is no such thing, word or event related to her deceitful use of the spelling of xenotransplantation , as there is no such animal.

Prof. Lee also overlooks a pertinent fact, or simply intentionally overlooks the truth, which has become quite a fad with the far left loons.

Is there a difference between human manipulation and a natural event, ie., Natural Selection? No. Through their own arguments on this subject they themselves are telling us that God is a fact. Prof. Lee correctly states that man has the ability to manipulate the species through cloning, gene therapy and gene splicing, which tells us it takes intelligence to accomplish these things.

Therefore, it must be reasoned that Natural Selection must be accomplished via intelligence, which then points to a controlling factor, ie., intelligence and a governing influence. Every new breakthrough that man makes in this area of science reinforces and points towards a higher authority.

Have you ever stopped to ask the question, “ after all this time, eons of time, why is it that there isn’t an abundance of Natural Selected species being observed and documented happening all around us?” Or, is it that evolution has reached its pinnacle? Even yet there is not one instance of fossil records that has caught the transformation in a sequence. So how do you think Prof. Lee and her left wing cohorts will spin these facts?

Jim, a more fitting question to ask your readers is not, “How will history treat

George W. Bush?”, but “How will a war crimes tribunal judge George W. Bush?”

Danville man

 

Why do we as a people endowed with so much in life to be thankful for allow people like this demean others with nothing but hate. President Bush, like all presidents have made mistakes and errors in judgment. The one thing you can’t take away from President Bush is the fact the country has remained safe after 9-11. This Danville man needs to get a real life and some good old fashioned soul searching.

I have been so busy lately it is hard to respond to public issues that appear in our local paper, the Press Enterprise so I will select those issues I wish to address in 30 Sec. and letters to the Editor and post them here in my blog spot.

 

1. 1.12. For a celebration of the diversity, adaptability, and resilience of living

organisms made possible through natural selection, see the Jan. 2009 Scientific

American. Devoted to the 150th year of Darwin’s Origin of Species, it’s essays   offer a window into how the mechanics of environment, mutation, and reproduction produce evolutionary change — even in DNA. Like any scientific

theory, NS could in principle be falsified. But this is strength, not weakness.

THIS is what makes a theory testable, and hence a THEORY. A challenge for T. McAffee: READ this SciAm; SHOW me you get it; SHOW why creationism’s

even a theory —and do it without resorting to religion. Then you get your public debate.

Answer:  Miss Lee, you must come to recognize, is a real hater of anyone who believes in God, a higher authority than herself or those who have placed themselves upon a pedestal of elitism. They fail in there own analysis of fact that the common denominator for religion and their beliefs resides in same principal for any theory, faith!

1.      If evolution is a fact of science, why is it that they have yet to show any fossil record of any transformation caught in what must be shown as one species into another. They can’t and won’t as there are none to date.

2.      Why is it after all this supposed progress of evolution there are not many species among us that we can not observe going through this actual change? Why after all these millions of years have we not been able to say “ look here, here is a species that is currently in the process of evolutionary change.” Simply put, it hasn’t happened in the past and isn’t happening now.
