Darwin didn't even believe in evolution

[JTEM is my hero]

Hey, ninnies!

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960982217309491

So the communist world REJECTED evolution, and in
it's stead they put a knock off of Lamarckism and it's
barely indistinguishable from Darwin's one and only
theory: Pangenesis.

As a matter of fact, you'd need to be on the Autism
spectrum to find any difference between them other
than the wording... maybe a few details.

Get it? Of course not. But Darwin didn't believe in
evolution, the idiot believed the exact same thing that
the people who REJECTED evolution believed in!

Oh, I know, you're far too well trained of a dog to bark
at anything other than the Darwin mythology...

Do you care about science? Do evolution mean something
to you? Dump the Darwin fantasy. He never deserved
the attention, he was always a raging idiot who plagiarized
"His" best ideas, and his single greatest accomplishment
was SETTING BACK SCIENCE by several decades! He did
this when he assumed the face of naturalism and tossed
aside Mendel... the jackass.

So are you "Science based?"

Are you "Empirical?"

Or are you just another religious nutter, worshipping a
made-up god you call "Darwin?"

Dump Darwin.

Cleanse the world. Decide that truth, that facts and
science are more important than a bunch of inbred
British aristocrats protecting themselves from a
continental "Papist" and an anti monarchist/nobility
socialist.

I just Googled it. Darwin's one and only theory WAS Pangenesis, it was
ripped off from Lamarckism, and this really is exactly what the people
who REJECTED evolution did themselves! They believed the same thing
that Darwin believed. Darwin was such a jackoff that when he said

Because, let's be honest, you are fucked up.

That's the point, ninny. This is supposed to be a science group. Reality.

But you're right, goddamn fakers are just a bundle of emotional need,

No, this is supposed to be a group that draws creationists away from the
science groups. Have you perhaps become confused about where you are?

Bruce Lipton, one of the pioneers in stem cell research, supports
Lamarck (whose theory basically is about intelligent environmental
adaptation per design):

"Jean-Baptiste Lamarck had it right fifty years before Darwin. In
1809, Lamarck wrote the problems that will beset humanity will come
from separating ourselves from nature, and that will lead to the
dissolution of society. His understanding of evolution was that an
organism and its environment create a cooperative interaction. If you
want to understand the fate of an organism, you have to understand its
relationship to the environment. He recognized that separating
ourselves from our environment cuts us off from our source. He was
right.

And when you understand the nature of epigenetics, you see his theory
is now substantiated. With no mechanism to make sense of his theory
before, and especially since we bought the concept of neo-Darwinian
biologists who said the human body was subject to genetic control,
Lamarck looked stupid. But guess what? New leading-edge science
reveals he was right, after all."

Lipton has experimentally demonstrated that this "Lamarckian"
adaptation mechanism is highly intelligent (not based on random
mutations), which is why it can be very fast. There are actually
examples of dynamic adaptation to the environment that are thousands
of time faster than what you'd expect from textbook evolution, but
evolutionists of course just interprets that as evolution being much
faster than previously assumed, without explaining why and how.
Here's one:


LIZARDS RAPIDLY EVOLVE AFTER INTRODUCTION TO ISLAND

Kimberly Johnson
for National Geographic News
April 21, 2008

(The findings were published in March in the journal Proceedings of
the National Academy of Sciences. )

Italian wall lizards introduced to a tiny island off the coast of
Croatia are evolving in ways that would normally take millions of
years to play out, new research shows.

In just a few decades the 5-inch-long (13-centimeter-long) lizards
have developed a completely new gut structure, larger heads, and a
harder bite, researchers say.

In 1971, scientists transplanted five adult pairs of the reptiles from
their original island home in Pod Kopiste to the tiny neighboring
island of Pod Mrcaru, both in the south Adriatic Sea.

Genetic testing on the Pod Mrcaru lizards confirmed that the modern
population of more than 5,000 Italian wall lizards are all descendants
of the original ten lizards left behind in the 1970s.

LIZARD SWARM

While the experiment was more than 30 years in the making, it was not
by design, according to Duncan Irschick, a study author and biology
professor at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.

After scientists transplanted the reptiles, the Croatian War of
Independence erupted, ending in the mid-1990s. The researchers
couldn't get back to island because of the war, Irschick said.

In 2004, however, tourism began to open back up, allowing researchers
access to the island laboratory.

"We didn't know if we would find a lizard there. We had no idea if the
original introductions were successful," Irschick said.

What they found, however, was shocking.

"The island was swarming with lizards," he said.

FAST-TRACK EVOLUTION

The new habitat once had its own healthy population of lizards, which
were less aggressive than the new implants, Irschick said.

The new species wiped out the indigenous lizard populations, although
how it happened is unknown, he said.

The transplanted lizards adapted to their new environment in ways that
expedited their evolution physically, Irschick explained.

Pod Mrcaru, for example, had an abundance of plants for the primarily
insect-eating lizards to munch on. Physically, however, the lizards
were not built to digest a vegetarian diet.

Researchers found that the lizards developed cecal valves—muscles
between the large and small intestine—that slowed down food digestion
in fermenting chambers, which allowed their bodies to process the
vegetation's cellulose into volatile fatty acids.

"They evolved an expanded gut to allow them to process these leaves,"
Irschick said, adding it was something that had not been documented
before. "This was a brand-new structure."

Along with the ability to digest plants came the ability to bite
harder, powered by a head that had grown longer and wider.

The rapid physical evolution also sparked changes in the lizard's
social and behavioral structure, he said. For one, the plentiful food
sources allowed for easier reproduction and a denser population.

The lizard also dropped some of its territorial defenses, the authors
concluded.

Such physical transformation in just 30 lizard generations takes
evolution to a whole new level, Irschick said.

It would be akin to humans evolving and growing a new appendix in
several hundred years, he said.

"That's unparalleled. What's most important is how fast this is," he
said.

While researchers do know the invader's impact on its reptile
brethren, they do not know how the species impacts local vegetation or
insects, a subject of future study, Irschick said.

DRAMATIC CHANGES

The study demonstrates that a lot of change happens in island
environments, said Andrew Hendry, a biology professor at Montreal's
McGill University.

What could be debated, however, is how those changes are
interpreted—whether or not they had a genetic basis and not a "plastic
response to the environment," said Hendry, who was not associated with
the study.

There's no dispute that major changes to the lizards' digestive tract
occurred. "That kind of change is really dramatic," he added.

"All of this might be evolution," Hendry said. "The logical next step
would be to confirm the genetic basis for these changes."

Experiments have also shown that dogs who were put on a starchy diet
started to produce ptyaline (the enzyme in saliva which breaks down
starch) in a couple of weeks.

And an interesting, related claim from 1986, which supports Lipton's
discoveries:

"The body is equipped to perform far better, in a variety of ways,
than you give it credit for however - but the fact remains that the
genetic structure focuses volition. The genetic apparatus and the
chromosomal messages actually contain far more information than is
ever used. That genetic information can, for example, be put together
in an infinite number of ways. The species care for itself in the
event of any possible circumstance, so that the genetic messages also
carries an endless number of triggers that will change genetic
combinations if necessary.

Beyond that however, genetic messages are coded in such a way that
there is a constant give-and-take between those messages and the
present experience of any given individual. That is, no genetic event
is inevitable. "

I don't read JTEM's posts unless someone quotes them, so I suppose he
wrote something moronic before this sentence, but anyway, it's as much
nonsense as one would expect (is he confusing Darwin with Mendel? Hard
to believe, but JTEM is probably stupid and ignorant enough not to know
the difference).

As it happens I went to the same school as Charles Darwin (not at the
same time!) and was there in 1959, 100 years after The Origin of
Species, and 150 years after Darwin's birth. These anniversaries passed
almost unnoticed at the school (amazing, but true), but not unnoticed
by the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, which sent a commemorative
medal. The school authorities didn't know what to do with it, and they
passed it to the teacher of the Russian class that I was taking (in
1959 Russian was the language we were all going to need in the future),
who passed it around for us to look at.

Anyway, it's perfectly clear that the USSR did not reject evolution or Darwin.

Lysenkoism, like Darwin's Pangenesis, was plagiarized from

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pangenesis>
*************************************
Pangenesis was Charles Darwin's hypothetical mechanism for heredity,
in which he proposed that each part of the body continually emitted
its own type of small organic particles called gemmules that
aggregated in the gonads, contributing heritable information to the
gametes.
**************************************

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamarckism>
**************************************
Lamarckism is the notion that an organism can pass on to its offspring
physical characteristics that the parent organism acquired through use
or disuse during its lifetime.
****************************************

Given the lack of knowledge of genes and genetics at the time, both
Lamarckism and Pangenesis are plausible hypotheses for heritable
change over time aka evolution.

They describe two different causal mechanisms. IOW the two have as
much to do with each other as Simultaneity has to do with Multiverse
aka nothing at all.

Mendel has nothing to do with Lamarkism, Pangenesis, or Lysenkoism.

[*Hemidactylus*]

I think JTEM was trying to Whiggishly self-aggrandize by portraying Darwin
as a laughingly ignorant person for developing the pangenesis notion after
Darwin had allegedly read Mendel’s work and should have been enlightened as
to how a rudimentary viewpoint of genetics worked. But Darwin does not seem
to have read Mendel as far as I know. And by comparison Haeckel had
developed a parallel notion of perigenesis which in his rendering operated
by some weird vibrational mode. So JTEM is allegedly smarter than Haeckel
also. JTEM has grandiose visions of his own self-importance that are easily
laughed away.

Your "Darwin" god came out with Pangenesis AFTER Mendel, AFTER he
was handed the secret to inheritance. Darwin got the answer FIRST and
then came out with his pseudo scientific idiocy.

Darwin was a fraud, like you. He did eventually use the word "Evolution"
but when he did he didn't mean evolution. He meant the exact same
thing that people who would later REJECT evolution were talking about.

Again, FIRST came Mendel and his cracking of the inheritance mystery,

It couldn't pass for legitimate science even in his own day! And it wasn't
"Evolution." Darwin thought the same things, agreed with the ideas of
those who would later REJECT evolution.

There's nothing more pathetic than a religious cuck who can't question
the Gospels of Darwin but thinks they're somehow grounded in science...

Go on; take the plunge! Accept reality. Put facts ahead of your precious
dogma.

Difficult to say... It would have been plausible for Mendel to send
Darwin one of the 40 prints he had, but he recorded only 11 of these (I
think) and the destination of the other 29 is unknown. No copy was found
in the estate, but then again it could easily have been lost.

If he received a copy, he may or may not have read it - his German was
slow, and he famously hated mathematics (Mathematics in biology was like
a scalpel in a carpenter's shop – there was no use for it) and there is
a lot of it in the paper, with the bold conjectures for inhertance only
at the very end. Throw in that at the time Tom Dick and Harry wrote on
hybridization, and it would have been unlikely that Darwin read it with
any particular attention, if he had it at all.

He did have a copy of Hermann Hoffmann's Untersuchungen zur Bestimmung
des Werthes von Species und Varietät which is an attempted refutation of
Darwin that also had a short summary of Mendel's work. Darwin annotated
parts of it, but not the Mendel section, so may have skipped it.

In any case, it would have been quite reasonable for him to wait until
others replicated the result (and Mendel's paper is as you might know
controversial -I would not go as far as Fisher who accused Mendel of
fixing the result, but there may have been quite a bit of selection bias
going on)

Darwin had done quite a bit of experiments with pea varieties himself by
the way, One of them used hybridization, common snapdragon and the
rarer snapdragon, and came to a ratio similar to Mendel's (and a few
years before him), but with a very different research question, so did
not find the ratio interesting or relevant.

Actually, Darwin had a book in which an excerpt from Mendel's work was
reproduced, Darwin having left hand written notes in the pages both
before and after. It's also accepted by everyone who seriously looked at
this that Mendel didn't just hear of Darwin but contacted him, as he did
pretty much all the prominent naturalists. The fact that this "Vanished" --
along with some correspondences with Wallace, which likely would have
proven embarrassing, is of no surprise to anyone.

Darwin was a fraud. He didn't experiment. He wasn't a scientist. He took
ideas that already existed and misunderstood them.

...and the fact that you even believe "Well he hadn't heard of Mendel"
is an acceptable excuse for pseudo scientific RUBBISH speaks volumes
of you and all your alters.

I went looking to refresh my memory on the topic, and found this

"Is there any evidence that Darwin read Mendel’s paper, or read about
him? This question has been debated for more than 50 years (Vorzimmer
1968), and the short answer is a qualified “no”. Mendel obtained forty
offprints of his paper; the fate of only a few is known (Orel 1976,
1996). A rumour purports that an uncut offprint of Mendel’s paper was
discovered in Darwin’s collection after his death (for examples see
Hennig 2000; Leonard 2005; Fishman 2018), with no credible evidence to
support it. It probably arose from the fact that Focke’s (1881) book,
Die Pflanzen-Mischlinge (The Plant Hybrids) was in Darwin’s library,
with summaries of Mendel’s experiments, yet the pages of these summaries
remain uncut. The fact that Darwin owned this book probably morphed into
the rumour that he had an uncut offprint of Mendel’s paper, when in
reality he had an uncut reference to it, acquired little more than a
year before his death (Fairbanks and Rytting 2001)."

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41437-019-0289-9

This paper also asserts that Unger was advocating universal common
descent a few years before Darwin went public.

According to Wikipedia, Mendel published his paper in 1866. Darwin
first mention pangenesis in his first edition of "The Variation of
Animals and Plants Under Domestication" in 1868. So yes, it's
possible Darwin heard about Mendel, or even directly communicated with
him, before Darwin published his hypothesis.

Either way, the issue raised by JTEM remains; whether the hypotheses
of Mendel and Lamarck inform Darwin's hypothesis. My understanding is
they don't. More to the point, JTEM makes no effort to explain how he
thinks they do, and it's almost certain he never will.

Nobody outside of the religious faithful -- The Church of Darwin -- believes
that Darwin wasn't a recipient, and Darwin is known for "Disappearing"
communications that might be embarrassing... it is known that letters from
Wallace were miraculously lost as well. Not all of them, mind you.

He was a fucking idiot. And as I pointed out, he owned a book with a
lengthy excerpt printed in it, and Darwin not only read the book but left
notes in the margin both before and after the Mendel bits. He simply had
no use for reality.

Lol! "No! He wasn't an idiot! He avoided serious work on inheritance in order
to promote pseudo scientific TRASH that he stole from Lamarck."

You're saying this about a fraud who didn't wait but instead "Invented" a
rebranded Lamarckism with his fantasy "Gemmules."

The Mendelian Laws of Inheritance are quite controversial, you say?

Darwin cost the English speaking world TWO DECADES of scientific
advancement because he was a fraud.

> Darwin had done quite a bit of experiments with pea varieties himself by

Oh yeah, Pangenesis was based on experimentation... right... sure.

Why this investment? Yes, the British aristocracy is extremely protective
of it's own, but Darwin is a lost cause. He discovered nothing. He
plagiarized nearly everything -- ether from his grandfather and then
Wallace -- and quite literally his greatest contribution was in HOLDING
BACK science for an entire generation, by dismissing Mendel.

Darwin EARNED our contempt. He earned it. He deserves far WORSE.

Accept it. End the revisionism. Move on. Leave Darwin in the cesspool
of history where he belongs.

You're defending a fraud. You're defending someone whose single
"Greatest" contribution to the world was the denial of actual
scientific knowledge for 20 years.

Darwin was a worthless, racist, classist douche bag if had he been
born to a more humble family would have died a miserable failure,
a complete embarrassment.

Q.E.D. Mirroring your properties to Darwin who most likely lacked
those. Also there are still chance for you to not die like you describe.
It is all still in your own hands, takes just a bit of self-discipline.

What mental disorder is this? Why are you simultaneously pretending to
give a shit about science while defending the worst fraud of all time?

Darwin, by becoming the face of naturalism and discarding Mendel, was
far more damaging to science than Piltdown Man!

AND, Darwin literally did not believe in evolution! Sure, he eventually used
the term but we're all familiar with morons misunderstanding & misusing
terms. What Darwin MEANT, regardless of the word he used, was the very
same thing that those who actively REJECTED evolution believed in!

How many shades of FUCKED IN THE HEAD do you have to be to worship
THAT imaginary god?

Wake up. Take your meds. Accept the realty that you've been taken for a
fool your whole life. Get made at the aristocracy that did this to you and
NOT the people who exposed them... exposed your stupid error.

Have a nice day.

IIRC Glenn stopped posting about the time PeeWee Peter did, leading
someone (not me!) to speculate they might be sock puppets. Perhaps
Glenn just took a break. Perhaps he felt outnumbered without his
strange bedfellow around to flatter him.
