This is your ad hominem attack on me....
I believe the record clearly shows who drew first blood. My barbs were simply in response to yours.

I read this book from time to time that says we should answer fools according to their foolishness.

What is it you want to hide?

Apparently you did not learn anything from this book since all you have posted is foolishness.

Many have answered a fool according to their foolishness. The fool is too foolish to understand the science.

Anything a sensible human would hide when dealing with people they don't know on an internet forum.

It's not Rocket Science.

How about this...post your full name, SS#, phone #, home and work address, and any other personal information that you think is pertinent and let's see how that works out for you.

If you have anything specific that you want to know about me...simply ask vs. playing foolish games. If I think it is worth your business to know then I will gladly share it with you.

Worried about religion Now that is funny!
Religion does not worry me only ignorant people trying to water down science to make if fit their theological conditioned beliefs.

You are not trying to understand the Universe or you would be working on understanding the science that you have no clue about but continue to post as if you do.




You don't understand Evolution which is why you are asking this utterly ignorant question.

If you want to understand the randomness of evolution then you need to study up on genetic drift and how it arises from the random sampling of alleles or genotypes from one to the next generation. Then you will need to understand the mathematical statistics of probability.


However I think you should stick with religion since science and math are clearly not your specialty.
lmao @ you wht ever dude. too funny. You are so afraid of religion that you can't do anything but ad hominem when challenged with an opposing view.

you can't answer so you start name calling. You clearly do not understand how or what random means in reference to dna. I don't think you have a degree in anything but basic biology because you are butchering the notions so badly.

And people wonder how America became so dumbed down.

What do you assume frightens me about religion?

Randomness: We have been over this already. The "random chance" criticism is actually a straw man, since evolution does not rely only on random chance.

Your issue is that you don't understand Evolution which is why you completely ignore the role of Natural Selection. Chance, in the form of mutations, provides genetic variation, which is the raw material that natural selection has to work with. From there, selection acts on that variation in a very non-random way: genetic variants that aid survival and reproduction are much more likely to become common than variants that don't. Natural selection is NOT random! However mutations are random and this is how genetic variation occurs in a population.

Genetic variation in a population is caused by multiple factors.

Mating patterns
Random forces lead to genetic drift
Distribution
Migration

You have no choice but to be stuck with religion since this is your aptitude level.

Let's hear your self created interpretation of genetic randomness?

lmao, nice cut and paste. they are predictable errors that are going to happen. they just can't pin point exactly when. They all proved not so random ... good show.

Roll some dice and see how many times they land on 1.

Is that easy enough for you?


Like they say you can't fix stupid.

I see you had to change what you originally posted.

You can't even follow your own logic.

Give it up you are just grasping at straws.

just to seal the deal. and ends this nonsense. You have no idea what this means do ya?

Allele frequency, or gene frequency, is the proportion of a particular allele (variant of a gene) among all allele copies being considered. It can be formally defined as the percentage of all alleles at a given locus in a population gene pool represented by a particular allele.[1][2]

In other words, it is the number of copies of a particular allele divided by the number of copies of all alleles at the genetic place (locus) in a population. It is usually expressed as a percentage. In population genetics, allele frequencies are used to depict the amount of genetic diversity at the individual, population, and species level. It is also the relative proportion of all alleles of a gene that are of a designated type.

Given the following:

a particular locus on a chromosome and the gene occupying that locus
a population of N individuals carrying n loci in each of their somatic cells (e.g. two loci in the cells of diploid species, which contain two sets of chromosomes)
different alleles of the gene exist
one allele exists in a copies
then the allele frequency is the fraction or percentage of all the occurrences of that locus that is occupied by a given allele and the frequency of one of the alleles is a/(n*N).

Nice cut and paste you copied and posted from Wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allele_frequency

Yepper I know exactly what Allele Frequency or gene frequency is.

Allele frequency =

Number of copies of a given allele
Sum of copies of all alleles in the population

Let's see your calculation for Allele Frequencies with Multiple Alleles?

And lets see you calculation for Allele Frequencies at an X-Linked Locus?

Come on now I know you can do it!

Let's hear your brilliant explanation and uses for the Hardy-Weinberg Law.

Newton did believe in the existence of God. But what he actually believed theologically might astound you. It was radical enough for his times that he kept his mouth shut, otherwise it would have destroyed him.

The concept of intelligent design did not exist in his time. Given his insistence on rigorous proof in his science though, I doubt seriously that he'd ever have gone along with the joke of what intelligent design is.
