Thought this might be of some interest to those who have not done it. Note: It applies to OneDrive of W10 and as all my Toshibas are W10 (including the big update in later November) I have no idea about 7 or 8.1 Firstly Excel and OneDrive are put on the iPhone. The Excel file or files are...

Fair enough. I assume the reptile has retained the survival system through to today because it enables it to live and thrive in extremes. There are plenty of parts in the world where life is plants, insects (which are cold blooded) and reptiles and mammals/birds are not much more than...

Just to throw something else into the pot. Does devolve or devolution happen. I think I read our appendix have lost the ability to whatever it was they did and we can no longer move our ears. This is something that has always fascinated and puzzled me with the reptile. Consider the following...

No, I am not stuck there at all. But surely you are not suggesting evolution has come to an end in the past few million years or so? My basic issue is the transition period, although I have an argument (and example) against my own point of view. I have already posted I thing the...

You blokes did not correctly read....I said it was my understanding goals were not involved in evolution. This line was to illustrate what I meant by goals. "By goals I mean (as I think others do) that buried inside some lizard something says "I need to grow longer and powerful back legs...

Doc By goals I mean (as I think others do) that buried inside some lizard something says "I need to grow longer and powerful back legs and a longer tail so I can run bipedal at high speed" Myself and others with similar views don't have any issues with gradual change of species. In...

I have 4 Toshibas I took from 8.1 and 2 Toshibas that came with W10, obviously very new computers. In my case I like the Windows Mail much better than 8.1's version and especially with the major upgrade of W10 that was about mid November. I prefer IE11 to Edge and only use Edge to play...

:) Don't really know:) As I posted earlier more recent thinking is small theropods descended from flightless birds....quite a change:D I can accept in general principle your outline of the lizard getting to 100s of vertebrae. However I just can't see that happening. As I said...

The intelligent design argument if true would mean a God or gods with limitations. The only intelligent design argument I could accept would be if God or gods simply laid out the laws of nature then let nature take its course. However, that would still indicate a God with limitations...

The transition is easy enough to accept with animals that remain basically the same. From some form of monkey to human is a journey that is nothing compared to lizard to snake or from spawn to the amniote egg. Edit: You mention "as long as the overall process is accepted and comprehended"...

As I posted earlier I can accept your outline as possible and accept the body organs, especially the lung situation to also move along. However we still have major hurdles and this is in respect of surviving the transition period. Generally the lizard has a very powerful crushing bite...

Yes, I can accept the possibility you have described but there is much more. I am heading to bed now and will repost tomorrow. For now I will just say a real big barrier to transition to snake is in the eating, killing etc. and the set up with the skull/jaws. There is also another big change...

That is basically what I have been saying in general and Snakes and lizards evolved from common ancestors is a totally different game to snakes evolving from lizards. There are many what I would call loose statements that leave out much of what is required. For example, at the first page...

Perhaps I should have been clearer. By a different species I am talking about a complete change...such as lizard to snake etc. Small theropod dinosaur to bird. That would take some doing as the animals are virtual opposites. The theropod is kangaroo like in the sense of week or small arms...

I do not deny natural selection in fact I am just the opposite. However I do not believe (at least at this point in time) that natural selection results in a new species. Instead, it makes a version of the species dominant and that dominance could be to the point that another version of the...

The gene that causes homosexuality is coming from heterosexuals and as such I can't see how natural selection and homosexuality have any connection UNLESS as I said above there was some test that would demonstrate a particular couple would produce an offspring that is homosexual.

The key point with homosexuals is they are produced by heterosexuals. The only way natural selection could be applied to homosexuals would be if there was some test etc. that would predict if a heterosexual relationship would (or perhaps "even could") produce a homosexual. Now that would be...

Regarding the Bible as a pile of lies or whatever does not make one an atheist.
