Use periods/dots to meet the character Quota when you reply only three will show up on the post, try it with the word ok…how did you do that?
I’ve already told you. One.The kind is the root of the tree. From these original prototypes came all we observe in the record. They are all adaptations and variations of the original.
Once again, how many kinds does there have to be?
And yes! Selective quotation, yet again. The “according to…” very clearly only applies to the first five or six lines at most. Then we get “While there is little consensus among scientists about how the origin of this first microscopic life” etc. etc., which cannot be predicated with the words "according to … ", and then "Since it has been demonstrated that all living organisms on earth are genetically related, it is virtually certain that all living organisms have descended from this first organism. "“According to…” Not an endorsement.
I answer more than 1.I’ve already told you. One.
Now why not answer my question?
Eh?I answer more than 1.
Gosh! Are we on the verge of an actual argument in support of your beliefs? Hooray!The dating methods are highly suspect. Thanks to a few posters here, there are obvious assumptions made that involve uniformity, among other things. Dates that ‘don’t fit the narrative’ are simply discarded, since they do not provide the right evidence. Or contradictory evidence.
Plants, Animals, Protists, Fungi, Archaebacteria, and Eubacteria are very different types of organisms. I think there are too broad a classification to ascribe common descent among its members. I think what has been created is probably what science labels as a genus. From an original form, these go on to diversify into species through the mechanism of descent. There are different kinds of living things which I believe is based on the nature of their soul. Since modern science takes a material perspective, the kind that it is could be identified based on a similar genomic structure. This does not accurately determine what sort of living thing it is, but it may be the best we can do, at least for the moment. On a previous thread, which some would believe is this one’s forebear, mention was made of the marble crayfish which has 3 X-chromosomes. It remains a crayfish but an anomaly that sort of proves the rule. In the case of human beings, we find various trisomies, Turner’s Syndrome, where the person has only one X-chromosome and no Y, Along with various other genetic abnormalities, which usually have a tremendous impact on the person and their family, but do not take anything away from their humanity. In the end, if you want to know nature, you hang out with it; the lab ends up reflecting only its weirdness within the nature of things, with equally odd ideas.Common descent from the first six kingdoms is a better explanation.
No they are not. Archebacteria, Eubacteria and Eukaryotes are different. Plants, Animals, Protists and Fungi are all sub-variants of Eukaryotes. Humans are Eukaryotes: we have a cell nucleus and mitochondria. Mitochondria were once a free living bacteria, but are now an endosymbiote inside eukaryotic cells. That indicates, as does the fossil record, that eukaryotes came after bacteria.Plants, Animals, Protists, Fungi, Archaebacteria, and Eubacteria are very different types of organisms.
