Does the mule prove evolution is false?

Please read the following completely...

There is no such thing as "The Theory of Evolution." There isn't now and there never has been. There are, however, theories that try to explain the evidence for biological evolution…

Biological evolution is a conclusion based on FACTS. An individual fact of biological evolution is a single fossil or other artifact recovered, studied and reported in detail. There are over 100,000,000 "facts" of biological evolution. It is a fact that in the recent past (60 million years ago) there were no large mammals at all such as horses, bears, man, etc. Farther back it is a fact that there were no flowering plants of any kind. Still farther back it is a fact that there was no life on land- at all. Still farther back the fossils reveal that there were no fishes in the oceans. Still farther back it is a fact that there was no multicellular life on Earth, anywhere. These are a very few of the many, many facts that make biological evolution on Earth a FACT.

The facts show unmistakably that life in the past was different from life today. The facts show unmistakably that life has changed (evolved) over time. Biological evolution is a FACT, not a theory (or a guess). The question is: how can these facts from the fossil record be explained? How did biological evolution happen?

The theory of "Decent With Modification" (first proposed by Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace - since improved) is the theory that currently best explains the mountain of FACTS showing how biological evolution proceeded. Without the theory of Decent With Modification the FACTS of biological evolution would still be there begging for an explanation. If a theory is proposed in the future that better explains the facts of biological evolution, we will discard the Darwin-Wallace theory as we have discarded Aristotle’s "Great Chain of Being" theory and the Bible’s “Creation Theory.” They were discarded because they couldn’t explain the FACTS.

Natural Selection is not a theory but is a proposed mechanism to explain how the theory of Decent With Modification would proceed. The theory of Decent With Modification does NOT need Natural Selection for the theory to be valid. If a better mechanism is found we will relegate that mechanism to the scrap heap as we have past mechanisms such as Lamarck's “Inheritance of Acquired Traits”...

“Survival Of The Fittest” is nothing but a catch phrase that is not even accurate. A more accurate representation of that poorly worded concept would be “Differential Reproduction.” That is, the favored survival of individuals and their progeny who posses variations that can better utilize the environment they currently live in.

There is no such thing as “Darwinism” any more than there is “Newtonism” or “Einsteinism.”

There is a general misunderstanding about just what constitutes a “theory.” The word "theory" has several meanings. The common meaning used by the general public is that of a "guess" or "opinion." You could say, "It is my theory that the CIA ordered Kennedy's assassination." or "It is my guess/opinion that the CIA ordered Kennedy's assassination. A scientific theory, however, is not a guess or opinion as the word “theory” is used by the general public.

A scientific “theory” is an overall unifying principal that seeks to explain seemingly disconnected observations (facts) under a single, simple concept. As such, a theory is the highest form of knowledge about the universe because it explains not just one isolated part of the natural world but it ties together many observations (facts), that may not seem to be connected, under a single unifying principle.

Facts, on the other hand, are single pieces of information about the world that usually come from controlled experiments. Lots and lots of facts are usually unified and explained by a single theory.

You can collect facts (measurements) about the motions of the planets. You can collect facts about the movement of projectiles and falling bodies. You can study the flow of rivers. The Theory of Gravity explains all of these observations and measurements. Without the Theory of Gravity the FACTS of the movements of objects remain and beg to be explained...

A working definition of "species" is a class of similar organisms capable of producing fertile offspring. Horses and donkeys are generally regarded as different species of Equus simply because they are usually incapable of producing fertile offspring. If they were capable of producing fertile offspring at every or nearly every mating they would be the same species, no matter how much they differ in appearance. The fact that horses and donkeys are occasionally able to produce a fertile female offspring merely indicates that the two species are not yet very divergent.

Evolution is a change in the frequency of alleles in a population of organisms. If you "very very good at" genetics you would know that. Since such changes have been noted and can now be measured by chemical analysis, evolution is a fact.

Warning. Anyone using the word "kind" in a discussion of evolution is usually regarded with great suspicion since there is no clear definition of what it means. Any defender of science familiar with the argument will see it as a "moving goalpost" word and may assume the user is either an ignoramus, a fool, very young or a liar.

God's word is just some nonsense made up a few thousand years ago by leaders of some desert tribe or other. They were totally ignorant of the facts about DNA, evolution and the reproduction of different species. Horses and donkeys have evolved from a common ancestor millions of years ago but they have not evolved sufficiently so that they can no longer mate and reproduce offspring hence the mule. However they have evolved enough so that the offspring is generally sterile. But there again sometimes there is a throwback to the time when they were a much closer species and occasionally a mule is not sterile. It is a very complex subject and if you wish to be properly informed you need to read the books and the published papers

"Is this amazing proof that evolution is wrong? The following proofs will show that evolution is ..." Are you getting paid by the word or something? Just get on with it! " the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, has a title that is now known to be scientifically false. " You're debunking the title? What, was the inside front cover too much reading for you? "New species cannot evolve by natural selection. " Yes it can. It's called speciation. "No new scientific discoveries have been found to prove the Theory of Evolution. " It happens all the time "Life did not start with a bolt of lightning striking a pond " You're not even getting the right scientific theory wrong! That's ABIOGENESIS you're getting way off you ********! (Blah blah blah skipping some Tinfoil hat stuff) "Time does not make impossible things possible. " Seriously? Is THAT how you think it works? Just, time alone? You don't think Natural Selection has anything to do with natural selection? " What are the odds that a simple single cell organism could evolve given the complexity of more than 60,000 proteins of 100 different configurations all in the correct places?" If you actually understand Evolution, pretty good actually. " Never in eternity! Time does not make impossible things possible. Don't believe that nonsense. " My Satan, you ARE that stupid!

Horse And Donkey Mating Mule

In the process of speciation, there's a gradual separation of two species characterized by a transition from a full ability to interbreed to an inability to interbreed. One of the intermediate phases can be reproduction that leads to viable but infertile offspring such as the mule. Generally this is because the number of chromosomes no longer match up.

The fact that the mule was born in the first place disproves your theory, nice try though, almost had me at checkmate.

"animals are to reproduce their own kind" Would that not mean that a donkey and a horse would not be able to reproduce and have a mule?

How you move from saying horse and donkey mating creates an infertile mule to proving evolution is false is a massive leap to say the least. Natural selection dictates the most beneficial genes are maintained throughout the next generations.

Anyway you're wrong, pregnancy is rare, but can occasionally occur naturally as well as through embryo transfer.

a quick google search returned this:

"A donkey and a mule have different chromosome numbers. When meiosis occurs (the creation of egg and sperm) the chromosome numbers halve and half of the genetic material is given to each of the two new cells created. However in the case of mule, their normal body cells have an uneven chromosome number so this cannot occur, therefore they can't make eggs or sperm".

that good enough for you?

I think horses and donkey's never read gods word or understood it. So either god is a liar or punished the mule so be the end of genetic pool. But mules are cool they kick a_s lol dave
