of the things i am happiest about having back online with the restored blog is the quotes of interest series i had gone through the contemporary primary literature describing the discovery of each new category of non genic dna and showed that in every single case functions were considered for these sequences if not outright assumed to exist here s the list of posts from this series quotes of interest junk dna and selfish dna quotes of interest 1970s edition part one quotes of interest ohno 1973 and discussion quotes of interest 1980s edition part one quotes of interest 1980s edition part two quotes of interest long neglected some noncoding dna is actually functional quotes of interest nobel prize special edition quotes of interest science news stories quotes of interest satellite dna

interest beware single citations and non citations posted in history junk dna non coding dna tagged history junk dna quotes of interest genomicron is back baby posted on june 22 2023 by t ryan gregory bet you thought this blog was gone forever yes well so did i but i decided to resurrect it and managed to solve the issues that made it non functional but not junk years ago anyway genomicron is back i will still write about junk dna and evolution and all that good stuff but you can probably expect a lot of covid variant evolution content now too stay tuned want to follow rss feed https www genomicron evolverzone com feed twitter https twitter com genomicronx posted in uncategorized genesis vs the origin are you kidding me posted on november 25 2009 by t ryan gregory check out this nonsense from an article in the toronto star which for some reason decides to pit the bible against the origin of species as works of literature you can spot the difference in the quality of the writing from the very first lines of the respective books the first line of genesis â in the beginning god created the heaven and the earth â is simply the best sentence ever composed strong active concise clear complete and yet turgid with hidden depths though not a single word is out of the ordinary each word radiates with startling power on examination in the beginning is an everyday expression but in everyday speech it always describes the beginning of something a book or a road or a life when we hear the phrase in the beginning we immediately ask the beginning of what the beginning of genesis is just the beginning the absence clarifies more than words could how high the stakes are the heaven and the earth is also a powerfully succinct expression instead of god creating everything god creates duality from the beginning he created out there and in here the universal and the particular the cosmic and the terrestrial compare that perfection of expression with the first sentence from the introduction to the origin of species when on board hms beagle as naturalist i was much struck with certain facts in the distribution of the inhabitants of south america and in the geological relations of the present to the past inhabitants of that continent what the hell are you on about charles darwin we have to wait for the next sentence to understand his subject in newspaper speak this bad writing habit is called burying the lead these facts seemed to me to throw some light on the origin of species â that mystery of mysteries as it has been called by one of our greatest philosophers it s a perfect model for what not to do with a lead sentence not only does it contain a passive construction it is also a tissue of conditionals stuffed with seemed to me some light and one of our greatest its vagueness and weakness have real consequences too they lead kansas school board trustees and ex u s presidents to believe that there s reasonable doubt about the ideas in the origin of species when there is not good writing matters ok using the same method let s compare the final sentences rather than the first ones genesis so joseph died being a hundred and ten years old and they embalmed him and he was put in a coffin in egypt the origin there is grandeur in this view of life with its several powers having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one and that whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved i rest my case see adaptive complexity for a more detailed smackdown of the star s argument posted in books please send me a special edition copy of the origin posted on november 24 2009 by t ryan gregory if you managed to get an extra copy of the special edition of the origin that was handed out on us and canadian campuses i would appreciate receiving one want posted in anti evolutionism darwin caricatures posted on november 24 2009 by t ryan gregory darwin s views are often misrepresented to the point of caricature as we all know but there have also been plenty of examples of literal caricature of darwin in the popular media i recently gave some talks about evolutionary imagery which included popular press cartoons from the 1800s that had a common theme of caricaturing darwin as a chimp or having non human apes exhibiting human characteristics and behaviour this seems like as good a day as any the 150th anniversary of the origin and all to post my collection for your enjoyment album http www genomicron evolverzone com images albums darwincaricature posted in evolution history humour media tagged caricatures darwin origin of species happy birthday origin posted on november 24 2009 by t ryan gregory today s the day 150 years ago darwin published on the origin of species by means of natural selection or the preservation of favoured races in the struggle for life if you haven t read it yet in all that time what s your excuse side note no sign of the special edition from ray and kirk but maybe they have switched the day here too posted in books evolution tagged darwin

because it is now set up to showcase artwork contributed by users posted in art ncse to ez do not want posted on november 18 2009 by t ryan gregory after linking to the ncse s mocking don t diss darwin site i sent them an email asking if they might add a link to evolver zone which has long had a prominent link to ncse on the main site apparently they link only to permanent institutional websites to prevent broken links to fly by night pages nevertheless they link to ray comfort s site funny or die youtube and various others that are not permanent institutions as far as i can see given that ez is a free educational resource created by an evolutionary biologist who also happens to be associate editor of evolution education and outreach which they link to you d think they might have been more receptive but that s ok they can focus on making fun of kirk and ray rather than drawing attention to actual resources if they like i have to say i m pretty disappointed in the ncse on this one however posted in webpage don t diss darwin posted on november 18 2009 by t ryan gregory the good news there will be free copies of on the origin of species handed out at various universities including mine â the bad news it comes with a tragically silly introduction by creationist banana man ray comfort â thankfully the ncse is on the case they have a site devoted to this issue don t diss darwin click here to get your safety bookmark or counter misinformation pamphlets bonus the kirk cameron action kit the kirk cameron action kit watch more funny videos here s why the whole ray comfort is bananas thing is being emphasized posted in anti evolutionism drawing flies posted on november 16 2009 by t ryan gregory jay hosler is an associate professor of biology at juniata college and a very skilled cartoonist who writes comic style books that are meant to entertain as well as educate one of them optical allusions focuses no pun on eye evolution i asked eye evolution researcher todd oakley to review it for the special issue of evolution education and outreach on eyes that i edited last year read here and i also reviewed it for reports of the ncse coming soon we both recommend it
