If the X and Y chromosomes are the right way of reproduction, and they produce the 1:1 ratio at birth, then why did God make the B chromosome which messes everything up?

Science does not appeal to authority. If you think otherwise then you don't know what science is. I may not have the skills needed to judge everything Weinberg said, but I have enough skill to tell the difference between a scientific theory (that might be wrong) which has passed the scrutiny...

Don't evade the question. Write down the equation here, based on the ID theory, and let's examine it. Don't appeal to authority. Science does not believe in authority.

The difference between adults and children in conversation, is that children often lose sight of the context and switch topic while responding to the last question. I assume that you are an adult. You: Do you need to be a scientist to figure out why there is a one to one birth ratio? I: What...

If you didn't understand my question, let me clarify. What did God say about the sex ratio in insects?

Precisely. You have just described what a scientific process is, in a rough manner. Write down an equation based on your design argument, then we can compare it with observation and see if it's correct.

You guys only read half a sentence then jump to the conclusion. If that's how you learn, I have nothing to say. Read the whole post then come back and make a meaningful comment. I'll reserve the word "idiot" for those who don't get it after the 2nd try.

What did God say about insects?

Read my post above. This is only true if the gender is decided by two chromosomes, either X or Y. Nature is more complex than this. In many species, the gender is decided by three chromosomes or more. There is a Paternal-Sex-Ratio chromosome (a B chromosome) whose sole purpose (as far as we...

Not true. Depends on how many chromosomes are needed for gender determination. If one pair of chromosomes decides the gender (XX or XY) then the ratio is 1:1. If two pairs are needed then the ratio can be quite different than 1:1. Nature can play many tricks on this. In the most extreme case...

Do these guys have a brain? Don't we already have a "War Czar" by the name of "Commander in Chief?"

If an idiot shouts 2+2=6 on the street, what do you think the proper response to him should be? Prove to him that 2+2=4? BTW, I've started another thread on evolution. If you want to see evidence of evolution go read that thread.

The intelligent design theory claims to be scientific but has never demonstrated any ability to quantitatively predict and explain biological phenomena. Here I give you an example how the theory of evolution is crucial in understanding some of the fascinating mysteries in nature. What is the...

Idiot. Take a college biology course, then we'll talk.

"The chief financial officer of Menu Foods Income Fund says it's a "horrible coincidence" that he sold nearly half his units in the troubled pet food maker less than three weeks before a massive recall of tainted pet food."...

Military code of conduct, article V: "When questioned, should I become a prisoner of war, I am required to give name, rank, service number, and date of birth. I will evade answering further questions to the utmost of my ability. I will make no oral or written statements disloyal to my country...

It's ok if it's the first lady or if it's the secretary of state Note that both Rice and Laura Bush had black. They're more conforming than the flowered headscarf Pelosy wore. Does that mean that Rice and Laura Bush are part of the tiny lunatic fringe that doesn't really represent the...

Nobody is interested in teaching someone who refuses to learn. The problem of complex systems has been studied for decades. There are many books on the topic. Just because you've never read them doesn't mean these problems are not understood. It's funny that in your knowledge-deprived circle...
