I would not be asking you to answer them if you had already. Again a poor excuse to avoid answering the questions.
I'm not going to go back and reanswer questions I have allready covered.
You now show you have no concept of the meaning of an answer.
No YOU are profilling ME. And there is no nonsense of going back 21 pages for unanswered questios. Your just to dense to realize that I have answered them. I think you don't grasp both sides of the conversation is why.
Yep this one.
Is there a question here?
The one you purposely misquoted me on and I corrected you and asked again for a proper response.
Your insistance that this does not include dogs has no value as even you maintain that a wolf is always a wolf. The amount of jobs we have selected those wolves for shows we have a natural bond from birth to death and in some cases we would not survive without them and they would not survive without us.
I answered the question you just apear unable to understand the answer.
I asked a question incase you missed it. Are you seriously just being a pin head.
Very interesting reply and sadly given how often you give answers is all I have come to expect from you
Uh hu.
Dont care if you are convinced or not. That, the links you have already been given along with explanations from myself and others answered your question. You chose to dismiss all of it without discussing any of it to protect your fantasy. Thats your problem not mine.
So your trying to convince me that the tree sparrow evolved into the house sparrow.
What evidence of your inability to think? use the back button. If you want proof of evolution use the back button. Your spoon fed days are over.
Well why don't you suprise the hell out of me and produce some.
How dense are you? The whole thing about evolution is change. There are thousands of examples of things that have evolved to be dependant on somthing else. The ant eater is but one example and one you love BTW. The tree sparrow found an unoccupied niche, our buildings as nest sites moved in and is now distinctively different from the tree sparrow.
It doesn't matter, you clearly admitted he wasn't dependant at one time, and that all that changed was humans did something to make him dependant.
We did not, the tree sparrow took advantage of an oportunity. We did not put up a sign saying nesting sites to let.
I wasn't looking for things we made dependant on us,
That is your problem. For that question to have any validity you must A) explain what 'the start' was and because you do not understand how all life affects all other life B) explain your meaning of intervention by man.
I can produce hundreds os such. I'm looking for unique ones that either have been dependant from the start or ones that became so without any intervention from man.
Oh this should be good.
I know its hard for you to wrap your little brain around this but its pretty simple acatully Action / Reaction.
Ha ha ha. Are you serious and you say I have a little brain. This is what I have been telling you all along. So now you finally admit we did not purposely encourage the sparrow. That the SPARROW chose to move in. Now all you have to do is admit he is dependant on man and you have answered your own question. That was:
We made homes, was the action, and he nested in our homes was the reaction. Get it?
So again the answer is House Sparrow. Nests are pretty vital in the sparrows life cycle.
I'm still looking for anything that has a natural bond out of necessety with man. From birth to death, not something that many invokes like a dog.
I see it must be within your guidlines. Guidlines that change every time an Inconvenient answer is given. To hell with what is correct, it must fit your idiotic guidelines.
Well if only someone were able to show me wrong, within the quidlines. You like to play the game out of the guidlines which is exactly why I said dogs don't count in the last question, so you came up with wolfs.
I promise to try harder not to be predictable but to be honest the wolf has knocked you off balance hasnt it? Thats another question BTW So you going to address mans natural bond with the wolf? Thats another.
It's pretty sad when your predictable.
I would not be asking you to answer them if you had already. Again a poor excuse to avoid answering the questions.
You now show you have no concept of the meaning of an answer.
Yep this one.

Until you do that your question has no meaning and my answers to the ones you asked previously still stand.
Ha ha ha. Are you serious and you say I have a little brain. This is what I have been telling you all along. So now you finally admit we did not purposely encourage the sparrow. That the SPARROW chose to move in. Now all you have to do is admit he is dependant on man and you have answered your own question. That was:

Given that you have maintained a wolf is always a wolf then my classing dogs correctly as wolves should have been well inside your guidlines so what was your problem with it? Thats a question in case you missed it.
I promise to try harder not to be predictable but to be honest the wolf has knocked you off balance hasnt it? Thats another question BTW So you going to address mans natural bond with the wolf? Thats another.
That is the vey question you have been asked by ALL posters on this thread time and time again. The way things work in a discussion is you ask a question. Someone replies and then you address that reply, that does not mean dismiss off hand the reply.
Why would I avoid answering your questions when they are so easy to answer.
HA HA that old ploy, and you get it wrong. You asked the question
Maybe thats why this hasn't been working. Your puncuation sucks. You end questions with no question mark.
I answered your question
Is there a question here?
FYI there should not be a question mark at the end of what I wrote and you have shown again poor reading skills. Poor understanding of what a question is or is not. So you failed massively with this ploy to avoid the question again. Lets see if you did.
Yep this one.
You did'nt. You believe that is an answer. Another dismissive comment. In that case you recieve the same.
You seriously have watched way to many movies. Humans do not have close ties with wolfs. And if I'm wrong, stick out your hand for a wild one next time and watch what happens next.
I never supplied you with links, that was someone else. I have already told you I concluded you were not worth supplying links too. Show me where they were 'hypothetical and postulated'. Show me where the house sparrow numbers plumeting to near extinction levels was 'hypothetical and postulated'. You see you never did any of that and that is why this question comes up time and again and will continue too until you do.
You direct me to links that are said to be based on hypothetical and postualted theorys, then you have the audacity to accuse me of living in la la land.
Yeah your too full of junk as it is
I'm sorry but I don't digest hypothetical postulated garbage.
HA HA HA. Where is the link backing up your rubbish? Notice your research was looking at images, very scientific. Again, against my better judgment I'll link you. Dont worry it has pictures but you will have to read as well. House_Sparrow
Well then let me spoon feed you a little worm. He started out as a sparrow, and ended up as a sparrow, and according to google images, there is also no change in his appearance. So the only thing that changed was his name. And guess what, we name him. It's all in your mind, and its always been in your mind and you just don't get it. It's never going to get any better until you check yourself in.
And that shows what? What do you think you have proved?
Thats right, but had man of not created that opportunity, he wouldn't have taken advantage. Plain and simple he would have remained living the way he was before. Your concept in understanding is way off. If I'm 13 then you must be 7.
The start of birth? As the egg cracks? when the parents mate? whose birth, the bird? the man? The house?
From the start of birth, and the just explalined example with the bird is CLEAR intervention.
Again I have never said that. You saying what I am saying is still you saying it and I agree you gave a piss poor example Whereas ALL the examples I gave you are very good examples. Discuss them.
It's as though your telling me if you start to leave food at your door step, that in turn starts to attract a bunch of mice, that we all of a sudden have mice evolving. I'm sorry but this is the piss poorest example of a shared relationship from birth.
Have you ever looked at what the definition of intervention is?
OMG, are you really this dense, dude, go get some coffe and think about this. It's a prime example of intervention. Just like leaving food at your door that attracks mice. Mice are not evolving as a result, OK.
Only one guidline. Answer the questions asked of you and address the points made when some is giving you an answer. You should not need instruction on how behave in a forum for discussion.
Your question could not be answered because it lacked guidlines as well. So give me some guidlines and I can answer.
You really cannot grasp anything can you?
Probably my fault for not explaining this to you, so I know your going to assume I'm moving the goal post again, is that you have to have humans in before and after light. Did that bird live before humans, YES. Did he always depend on humans, NO, Did humans do something that caused him to depend on them, YES. Either way you slice it, we caused it. Just because the bird depends on us for convenience, does not make it a necessity. If our homes suddenly disappeard, would that little bird go back to living his old way, YES.
So the animal has to have a natural bond with man out of necessity.
I'm still looking for anything that has a natural bond out of necessety with man. From birth to death, not something that many invokes like a dog.
So why did you get so upset when I correctly classed dogs as wolves?
Dogs ARE Wolves, and there is no gametic isolation between them, they can even breed with one another which tells you they are the same species. And I allready told you this.
So you are not aware of. Guide dogs, hunting dogs, sheep dogs, sniffer dogs, guard dogs, rescue dogs to name just a few.
Aside from movies and nature finatics, I'm not aware of any special bonds we share with them. However they are dogs, and we CHOOSE to have a bond with dogs, Thats probably the best thing I should have given you right there.
What a stupid restriction and a restriction that is not valid when talking about relationships. Not acceptable as a restriction.
If its a choice, it's not valid
Another stupid restriction and also not acceptable. Man building a house is no different than rain filling a hollow and forming a pond. It is a habbitat that others take advantage of. Again restriction rejected.
When we make a choice to build homes the sparrow nests in, its not valid.
Another statement bourne out of ignorance.
When the sparrow makes a choice to live in our homes over his old habitat, thats his choice and not a necessity.
No there is not unless you can, as I have above give example to back up your argument
There is a clear difference.

Definitly need more sleep!!!!!

Seriously....? you'replanning to jump back 100 pages and start all that milk for calcium nonsense?
Brasov, do yourself a favour and read from about page 60. Its about then that tooth started to change the opinions that he (she?) is about to start spouting. From "we need cows milk blah blah blah" to "i never said we cant survive without milk"
Sorry colin I had to do it, link to flagellum below,
www.newscientist.com...
BTW tooth, as a teacher myself, I can inform you that the modern way of thinking regarding teaching places joint resposibility for learning equally with the teacher and the student. You are being provided with the opportunity to learn, reasearch is being carried out on your behalf to allow you more time to think about the information that is displayed. It is no one elses fault but yours, when all of this work is being done for you, if you remain ignorant.
Tooth has presented an alternative Pan galactic castaway / penal colony, whatever, that he seems to believe in 100%. Thats fine, however this thread has now become can you prove tooths theory or evolution correct.
I have a suggestion. to tooth, stick to the thread, stop trying to push your fantasy, if you have evidence/proof of evolution being wrong present it, if not, then you have nothing more to say relating to this thread. If you want to start a thread where people can attempt to prove your theory incorrect go ahead and do it.
I will state again, with reference to the title of this thread. the answer so far is no, No one has presented evidence to even suggest that the theory (scientific) of evolution is wrong.
That is the vey question you have been asked by ALL posters on this thread time and time again. The way things work in a discussion is you ask a question. Someone replies and then you address that reply, that does not mean dismiss off hand the reply.
I never supplied you with links, that was someone else. I have already told you I concluded you were not worth supplying links too. Show me where they were 'hypothetical and postulated'.

HA HA HA. Where is the link backing up your rubbish? Notice your research was looking at images, very scientific. Again, against my better judgment I'll link you. Dont worry it has pictures but you will have to read as well. House_Sparrow
And that shows what? What do you think you have proved?
The start of birth? As the egg cracks? when the parents mate? whose birth, the bird? the man? The house?
Again I have never said that. You saying what I am saying is still you saying it and I agree you gave a piss poor example Whereas ALL the examples I gave you are very good examples. Discuss them.
Have you ever looked at what the definition of intervention is?
If man invokes it, its not natural
So the animal has to have a natural bond with man out of necessity.
True but he would not die and he would go back to his old living without them.
The house sparrow needs mans structures for nesting sites. Nesting sites other than our homes are either taken or not suitable for the house sparrow. So that is 'A natural bond out of necessity.'
It sounds more like he either forgot how he used to live or man caused destruction in his natural habitat, either way your wrong.
When recently his nesting sites were denied him the house sparrow did not go elsewhere, he tettered on the verge of extinction so your assumption was again wrong and proved wrong.
It's still forced by humans, and we can force just about anything to need us if done right.
Humans are the only animals to build the structures the house sparrow uses. So that relationship is with us.
Then how did they manage to make it prior to us building homes?
Just incase you are unaware. Birds nest to lay eggs and raise young. That fulfills the 'from birth'
Again its like feeding mice at your door.
So your answer has been addressed. I have shown using the house sparrow 'something that has a natural bond out of necessety with man. From birth to death, not something that many invokes like a dog.
Let me know when you come up with something valid, I'm looking too.
Now you can throw another childish hissy fit but it does not change the fact that your question has been answered. That means your original stance that man has no natural interaction with life on this planet is also wrong as you maintained you would accept even one example that shows you wrong. Do you now admit you are wrong?
No its is because you do not address the answer, you dismiss it. That is not answering.
As far as I know, I have. Is it possible your not understanding my replies?
Here your prove my point above. You have not addressed the points I made and given an off hand response that has nothing to do with what I wrote. We never saved the sparrow from extinction.
Just because we saved a species from extinction does not count either. Anyone can save a species it doesn't prove a pre determined relationship.
They are also described thus:
Note that subspecies are still the same species of sparrow. It's funny how they are mostly listed as an unwanted pest but you think we have a good relation with them. Probably for them, not for us.
But you seem to have not commented on this. Cherry picking again but of course that one line threatens your story.
The House Sparrow is closely associated with humans
Yep pathetic avoidance
That you shrunk your own age.
No. It is an excellent example of your dishonest attitude. You acted as if I had wrote that or something similar but did not respond to what I had actually wrote and you still have not. So where do you get the idea that you answer questions asked?
It was a piss poor example of evolution and an excellent example of what you have been using.
Again not answering. Show that you understand the definition because the way you use it proves you dont.
Of course I do, its what I strongly believe put us here on earth.
If man what? Invokes = To call on (a higher power) for assistance, support, or inspiration. Yes your right that would not be natural but has nothing to do with this topic or question.
If man invokes it, its not natural
So explain why the house sparrow numbers in the UK dived towards extinction when the fashion for UPVC soffit boards denied his nesting places? (That is a question BTW. One you answer)
True but he would not die and he would go back to his old living without them.
This is another example of moveing the goal posts because you cannot address the point made. The nesting place being natural or unatural is meaningless
It's just a better way for them to live, I'm not looking for things we made better for species, I'm looking for something natural.
This is an answer. What you think. A childish, disney like description of the forgetful Sparrow and finished with I am wrong. Now prove it if you can? (That is another question).
It sounds more like he either forgot how he used to live or man caused destruction in his natural habitat, either way your wrong.
Another off hand, flipant response. Now back up what you wrote with evidence. (this requires a response from you). Explain how you can make a bird nest in a certain place.
It's still forced by humans, and we can force just about anything to need us if done right.
As far as this post is concerned, who cares the fact is they do. Address the points made with answers not avoiding questions.
Then how did they manage to make it prior to us building homes?
Yes I noticed you have used that twice now as YOUR argument even though you maintain it is a piss poor example. You look like you have no self respect and you are about to renage on your word that you would accept one example that did not include dogs.
Again its like feeding mice at your door.
And there you go. A whole post and you have not only refused to address any of the points you dishonestly reject the example you requested because it shows you wrong. You are a very dishonest person, bankrupt of any credability what so ever.
Let me know when you come up with something valid, I'm looking too.
