Philo ID pushers can only offer lies and myth to support ID. ID's missing links , God , Magic , a cartoon universe remains much more than dubious.

Tonight gazing at the milkyway which is crystal clear here the idea god no longer seems ridiculous but rather completely insane.

What ID pushers have said in this thread , in the media, in the gutter is not about nature. God is clearly divorced from nature, ID is divorced from nature. ID is politics , the discourse of predators , a crime , a con. ID is weird ,perverse, contorted, a deformed perception, a bondage to ignorance. ID pushers see the world like peeping toms with a stocking over their heads, getting off on the imaginary with no clear vision of their actual fetish. Lurking , stalking, hiding in the shadows, to ashamed to open up for scrutiny. ID has too much to hide.

The only relevance is that ID pushers are attempting to prey on Children. The only thing need to be said of ID is leave the kids alone!

All,
here’s the answer from Dr. Nagy to my question in this thread. She is a lovely lady indeed.

I asked whether the disappearance of the fourth molar is related to oral evolution and also the very gradually disappearing wisdom teeth.

I do believe her about the reason for PROBLEMS with wisdom teeth. But the LOSS of wisdom teeth can still be due to oral evolution.

Wisdom teeth are losing their FUNCTION perhaps due to changes in diet.
Isn’t that what happens during evolution: the function is lost so there is no need for that part of our anatomy and we lose it and won’t miss it?

Here's her answer:

"In the process of evolution the jaw has become smaller, allowing less room for the third molars and causing numerous dental problems. A major conclusion of evolution is that the human jaw has shrunk from its much larger ape size to the smaller modern human size as humans evolved. In short, evolution has produced 'an increase in brain size at the expense of jaw size.' In the process, the jaw has become too small for the last teeth to erupt which are normally the third molars, often called wisdom teeth. The result is the common assumption that most humans do not have enough room in their mouth for wisdom teeth which lack a function and only cause us much health trouble.......

Research now indicates that the reasons for most third molar problems today are not due to evolutionary changes but other reasons. These reasons include a change from a coarse abrasive diet to a soft western diet, lack of proper dental care, and genetic factors possibly including mutations.

Common past dental practice was a tendency to routinely remove wisdom teeth. Recent empirical research has concluded that this practice is unwise. Third molars in general should be left alone unless a problem develops and then they should be treated as any other teeth. At times removal is required, but appropriate efforts to deal with problem teeth should be implemented before resorting to their extraction. "

Philo, I agree that a complex system cannot evolve from a simpler one, but only in case that there is no change in function.

But the function of a system can (and does) change over time.
Evolution, therefore, can lose, modify, or add parts to a system.

If the function changes, an inessential part can then be modified until it does become essential.

Anyway, that's my understanding about it.

Celivia the elements have evolved through star building since the big bang as each new element evolves the new element is more complex. This process obviously is rarer and slower than the evolution of life but complexity naturally evolves out of simple systems. A island ecosystem begins with a simple assemblage of life which builds biodiversity into complex systems. With each new actor is opportunity for additional symbiosis. Human personality is like that too , as babies we have simple reactionary systems as our brains add more information we become more complex in our thinking and personality functions.

I hope she was of some help Celivia, and I would have suggested that Dietary intake (Decedents) would have a great well to do with many Mutating genetic problems now days; Soft pasty and processed food stuffs.
As modernity has altered the Biological functioning mechanisms. And has introduced many factors that will alter Genetic Metabolic functions.
I would not conclude in any way or part to be associate with Evolutionary theory; Call it a consequence I suppose.
If you were to Meet Dr Nagi in person, her personality is very warm and extremely humble in anyone’s presence. As wells as a wealth of Knowledge.

You are a star West and that must have been a big party god had when it went bang, Ha.
That’s what I meant before about Alfa and Omega; Astrophysics and those theories do not match up I’m sorry to report; many have confused them selves. Some have been committed to mental institutions.
A link above helps explain that.
It is quite simple West; Quantum Physics Theory; Beyond that is Godliness.
I can hear you grumbling. Ha.

It would take a rainbow Serpent to create a god all. The god that god worships.
