Paul Nelson: Which Rules? Whose Game?

[RonSewell (RonS)]

@pnelson

This is UCD held axiomatically, via rules which say that no discontinuity can be evidence of separate origins. Whatever we observe, life on Earth must fall into a single Tree, rooted in LUCA.

That’s a problem.

I think the problem for YEC is the fossil and molecular evidence, at least from the Cambrian forward, of indeed continuity. What you frame as axiomatic might be considered just extrapolation from a very well established basis.

Edit: typo → Cambrian
