Nice try, I clicked on the wiki for it, then on the person named for genetic drift only to find that it was written by someone with an evolutionitsts background.
Read and learn. You really need to clean up your ignorance:
en.wikipedia.org...
So this is all in the eyes of evolution with nothing to back it up.
I have read about genetic drift and know that a species will die if dire changes are made. So in other words there is no way a species can change without dying.
Dont tell me what I believe in because as usual you are wrong.
Weather you want to belive in survival of the fittest which you do, or that things start out in an eco balance, either way, they will be in an eco balance.
And what part of any of the above requires a balanced eco system?
Species have to eat.
Species have to survive.
Species have to grow, and multiply.
So either way you look at it, there must be a balance.
so this is how you answer to what I posted. Pasted below
No I think I understand pretty well htat species need to eat and grow.
As low as your education level is even you cannot really believe that is a response to what I wrote? If you think 'I eat and grow therefore I am in balance' has any meaning then you are more foolish than I give you credit for.
There are always adjustments to maintain sustainable numbers because the enviroment is continually changeing and so a balanced eco system that you talk about exists nowhere.
When it comes to delusion you make a someone with Alzheimer’s look on the ball.
Only when it comes from the master of dilusion, Colin.

Dogs eat dog food, and that is processed. Unless they were supppose to be scavengers in the wild.
LOL let me guess.. My dogs alien
My dog just ate some fresh trout from the river, I can guarantee the process was me cooking it on the grill.
He (Kenny) will scavenge but I have seen him kill a rabbit.

So we just aren't able to see these changes in all of us today, why is that?
Thats why it doesn't happen with one, it happens with many, the reason one would change, would be the same reason the others would change.
I'm sorry DR Colin, but I don't see anything on this page that deflects it being in a balance.
An eco system neither starts in balance or ends up in balance. It is exactly how I explained it to you as simply as I could bearing in mind your capacity to take on information. It appears you did not manage again to understand.
all of it.
Species have to eat.
Species have to survive.
Species have to grow, and multiply.

Well you are seeming to just be incredulous.
so this is how you answer to what I posted. Pasted below
You quoted yourself stoop.

Why are you being so hateful? It's not my fault your not able to answer any of my challenges with an honest answer.

You know they say if you gave a monkey a typewriter and eternity he would eventually write Shakespeares plays. I am convinced despite this the monkey could never type the total garbage that streams from you like a city sewer spews out sewerage

Sure everything is here, but broken up into a plethora of other things. This is why we have such a large food list. Of course there could be a big difference between whats needed and whats an extra. A good example is meat. We could say that all cattle fell off the face of the earth, so lets say no animals to give us any meat. We could turn to eating insects for protein, and we would have to.
Anyhow, our food choices are redundant. You can see that anytime we have a need, there is more than one source for that specific need. Based on this you might be wondering how I could possibly figure out that our target food is not here. It's because there is a big difference between foods helping us get by, and foods that are packed with our specific nutrition. As good of a source cows milk for calcium is, it would appear that there should be a better source of it for our intended diet. Drinking cows milk and having to process it, homogenize, pasterize, fortify, and package, ship, refrigerate, are all things that are not an expected part of the requirement.
So we just aren't able to see these changes in all of us today, why is that?
It never mentioned a balanced eco system because there is no such thing. Boy your IQ must be a record low.
I'm sorry DR Colin, but I don't see anything on this page that deflects it being in a balance.
Again your knowledge level indicator is showing empty
all of it.
And you are too stupid to realise how poor that answer is.
Well you are seeming to just be incredulous.
And you think that allows you not to answer?
You quoted yourself stoop.
My mistakes can be corrected whereas your ignorance is indemic
As low as your education level is even you cannot really believe that is a response to what I wrote? If you think 'I eat and grow therefore I am in balance' has any meaning then you are more foolish than I give you credit for
You do not know what honesty is. All your rubbish has been answered yet you refuse to address any reply and your responses in this post are no different. Dishonest, dismissive and completely ignorant.
You know they say if you gave a monkey a typewriter and eternity he would eventually write Shakespeares plays. I am convinced despite this the monkey could never type the total garbage that streams from you like a city sewer spews out sewerage
You want to try being honest and enter a discussion then you can ask for different treatment. Till then you remain a sewer outlet.
Why are you being so hateful? It's not my fault your not able to answer any of my challenges with an honest answer.
The question is should they have to. I think you have the global access backwards, it was the need that drove that access.
First, there are many animals in nature that can get the nutrients from multiple sources. Many can eat practically every thing we do. Many don't because they don't have global access to food.
Well that's a good point but you do also have to take into account the fact that when things are out of balance (which they are in a bad way right now). It's when things are out of balance that everything else can be off as well.
That is not a good argument, unless you are somehow claiming that all animals that eat a large variety of foods were brought here. That doesn't make sense at all and actually goes against your argument because being able to live off of a plethora of things, ties us more strongly to the earth.
That's because there were many things also brought to earth to help us as well. But with that keep in mind that its also written that those things that were brought to earth for us, are not from our home, so they are not part of our intended diet.
Your argument is backwards. If there were only 1 or 2 things here that we could survive off of, and they were manufactured pills then I'd begin to question if we were from the earth, but that's simply not true.
Which is somewhat true, but our need for calcium actually goes up with age.
Many animals survive with mainly protein, and protein is found everywhere. Look at food based on its nutritional content, not just the outside appearance. Humans dietary requirements are quite similar to most other mammals on the planet.
I tend to believe in more strict circumstances. From a creationist point of view, I look at it like this, if someone was smart enough to make us, then they would also be smart enough to make a planet and food to accommodate us as well.
We do not HAVE to eat a large variety of things to get our daily nutrients. You can survive with a salad, some fruit and some nuts and be perfectly healthy. Plus humans can survive even without full nutrients, they just wouldn't have an ideal healthy body.
Well I never met anyone that didn't want to be healthy, but I think your confusing foods we can get by on for a short time with an acceptable diet.
Humans are picky and often go for taste over nutritional value, but you don't need to eat a crazy variety of foods to stay healthy. There are also plenty of sources of protein that don't involve meat or insects. Depending on your location you can grow your own garden and never have to worry about nutrients again.
So if your implying that cows milk was meant for us, isn't that the same as saying that our food is supposed to make us sick?

Which is a dead on clue that we shouldn't have to cook our food. But in situations where we have to, it becomes a question of weather or not we are supposed to be eating that food. Again, its because its not our food.
A lot of studies have shown that unpasteurized milk is actually healthier for you because the process of boiling it takes away nutrients.
This was of course an angle I looked at when I thought about all of this, and breaking it down, I realized that even though this possibility exists, we still have to eat.
You need to understand we are an intelligent advanced society that has utilized the principles of science to learn about things like nutrients, and mass produce. You can't compare us to the animal kingdom in that regard, because our lives are much different.
Your talking about our lifestyle, I'm talking about evolutionary changes.
Knock it off already. We DO see the changes. Just compare humans today with humans 30,000 years ago. You can see the change that has happened during that time period. Slow change over time, man. It's not that complicated but you seem to fail to grasp it every time.

I'm sorry but this new link you sent me, as nice and informative as it is, also appears to be written by an evolutionist according to the options at the bottom of the page.
Ok DR Colin, if your going to be so incredulous, I'll just have to look up some links for you.
It never mentioned a balanced eco system because there is no such thing. Boy your IQ must be a record low.
The links I was able to provide on what you were claiming to be a non existent subject, proves you are the only one being dishonest here. And its always been that way.
Why are you being so hateful? It's not my fault your not able to answer any of my challenges with an honest answer.

Well an unbiased one would be best, but if there are none then ones from different beliefs would be best.
Well, what do you want, an article that's written by a creationist? Or Erich von Daniken?
Notice where it says if there is nothing to disturb the balance. This could be you clue to there being no such thing as a balanced eco system in the context you use it in.
In an aquatic ecosystem rocks are needed for shelter and plants provide oxygen for fish. An ecosystem is balanced when the natural animals and plants and non-living components are in harmony- i.e. there is nothing to disturb the balance.
Notice it says and no community of organisms or natural phenomena is interrupting the flow of energy and nutrients to other parts of the ecosystem
An ecosystem is balanced when the biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) parts of the ecosystem are in equilibrium. This means that the nutrients are able to cycle efficiently, and no community of organisms or natural phenomena is interrupting the flow of energy and nutrients to other parts of the ecosystem.
No your confusing what we see today with there not being the possibility of a balance. Your opinion is shaded because you lack the ability to pull yourself out of the equation.
For the idiot

edit on 21-2-2012 by itsthetooth because: (no reason given)
This says it is a theory. Do you not expect me to demand a better link than one that says it is theory and postulation. The very same thing you demand of links supplied to you
The balance of nature is a theory that says that ecological systems are usually in a stable equilibrium
Virtually the exact same information you rejected
Studies of communities examine how populations of many species interact with one another, such as predators and their prey, or competitors that share common needs or resources.
There are isolated examples of such where you can buy a sealed fish tank that has one fish and one plant combined in water. All you have to do is supply the sunlight for the plant to grow. In a balanced system the fish eats the plant, and his waste feeds the plant, along with the sunlight. Quite blowing smoke man.

None of which disproves a balance.

Well I'm still looking at new things all the time. Of course all of it aids in the direction of intervention without even trying.
How can your theory help humanity? or with your known realization of,, no evolution, humans are not from here,, if everyone were to hear you out, what would be the next step? where would we go from there?
