    That’s called luck…. Now answer the question – how does a salamander changing color not be random?

    Not likely… – how does a salamander changing color not be random?

    That’s ridiculous and not true – how does a salamander changing color not be random?

    Then so are all the professors at The University of Berkeley - the leading college in the United States of American in Evolutionary Biology...

    http://evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/article/evo_01

    OH BUT WAIT...

    You're the "evolutionary biologist" that we should be listening to right? Change in allele frequency is evolution... Right? Is this you...?

    That taught me the propagation of taxonomy over specific stressors... Same course you took? Biola'ma'gee 1 -oh- 1

    Why do you keep referring to a site about evolution for kids? This is your go-to resource for info about evolution? It's written at about a 5th grade level. Is it because English isn't your first language?

    I never pretended I was a biologist.

    Here. Plenty of talk about alleles including a link to a texbook confirming that my definition is reasonable.

    If you haven't noticed... a lot of people “need” that level of understand to grasp evolution… People who think a change in allele frequency equates to evolution! Also, it’s Evolution 101… From the University of Berkeley!

    Question – do you even know what that is? A change in allele frequency? Tell me the definition, and tell me how that equates to evolution please...

    Luck that every species of panthera has canines that perfectly match up with the vertebrate of it's prey...... You are unbelievable!
    Do you have some big floppy shoes and a round red nose?..... Flower that squirts water?...... Really small car?...... Big goofy smile?

    Sorry – don’t do TalkOrigins… That is a Creationist vs Darwinist site… That is full of lies and falsehoods to herd the sheep of the religion in… I look at that site and this site equally… http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/lie

    Do you have anything from a site like from, I don’t know… a college or university?

    Do you actually know what 101 means?
    Wouldn't shock me if you didn't!
    It doesn't matter what university it is from, it is a basic overview...... Do you think this is the end all be all of evolution?
    Ridiculous!

    Do understand the discussion with you is like – nonexistent… I know you have no clue… you showed me your hand with “stressor” – “propagation” and then especially “taxonomy”… I only half read your gibberish…

    I Google’d it, because I could have been wrong (that would be a first) and I wasn’t… Your post is a lie… as usual… I was just trying to find one… out of the many? Riddle me this… do the panthera eat only one specific animal? So, the rabbit has the same size vertebrates as the zebra? Really?... I can’t believe I even wasted my time looking it up, but it would be interesting if your post “wasn’t a lie”…

    But it is…

    Doesn't matter? That is just retarded!!! So, you think that Harvard School of Law is equivalent to DeVry? Really?... I know now that you are uneducated... along with not know a rats backside about evolution...


    Yea - I suggest you go over and read it so you don't post stupid words like "stressor", "propagation" and "taxonomy"... :)

    We have a localized praying mantis that looks almost identical to the orchid that it resides upon, and according to DBM it was a random occurrence of luck, not the very definition of natural selection which favored and advanced characteristics which resembled the flower through propagation!!!!!

    *honk*

    I just honked your goofy nose!

    So now stressor, propagation and taxonomy are stupid words because they don't appear in your evolution for beginners 101 course?
    I don't think anyone is surprised!

    The predator will eat anything that it can prey upon, but it doesn't change that there is a predominate prey that unequivocally sustains the life of this predator..... Without it's existence, the predator can not and will not survive.... Period.... *honk*.... End of story!

    I provided you with a link that will answer all your questions in my previous post. Do I know what it is? Of course. I'm not the one with all kinds of incorrect ideas about evolution, remember? You'll see the discussion of allele frequence, which I'm assuming you do understand, about halfway down the page.

    Exactly!!! You are starting to understand!!! Good for you!!! Now, since you know what is expected when talking about evolution, could you please use words that are and can be understood with common terms within biology courses! :)

    Great! Now explain how that happened... How did a mantis "get" like the flower? Did someone just walk up and wave a magic wand and Presto Chango – you’re like a flower! Or was there something that can explain it in biology…

    sure does - for people to have a better understanding using graphics. They say that how to better retain information is use different forms of stimulus... But, you already knew that with your big brain huh Brad!

    Again, I do not entertain Religious sites… TalkOrigins is a religious site to me… But, since you say you know about allele’s… then how do you think change in allele frequency equates to evolution?

    fishmatter – you do realize that the site you just provided is like 20 years old right? That site was put together for the religious Darwinist by people like Grasping who have an agenda…

    Would you be satisfied with the National Center for Science Education? They give about half a page of citations from published work that use this definition. Before you go off half cocked they also address the issue that it is a simplification but a coherent one, something I made clear in a previous post to you.

    http://ncse.com/rncse/21/1-2/defining-evolution

    Also on that site is an excerpt from a new high school biology textbook that the center approves of. http://ncse.com/files/pub/evolution/Excerpt--Principlesoflife.pdf

    Note section 15.3: Evolution can be measured by changes in allele frequencies.

    Here's the University of Toronto's page which is very clear on the subject. http://bioinfo.med.utoronto.ca/Evolution_by_Accident/What_Is_Evolution.html

    Oxford University Press published this paper about allelic frequency. http://mbe.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2012/04/11/molbev.mss079.abstract

    And a paper from the University of Colorado. http://psych.colorado.edu/~carey/hgss/hgsschapters/HGSS_Chapter13.pdf

    Encyclopedia.com has an article explaining the history behind the definition. I presume at this point you'll accept a non-academic website since it's all confirming the same stuff anyway. http://www.encyclopedia.com/topic/Modern_Synthesis.aspx

    And finally a paper from Columbia U. http://www.columbia.edu/itc/biology/pollack/w4065/client_edit/readings/natgen7_525.pdf

    How could you not have been aware of any of this? Anyway, I assume you see the error of your ways now.
