What about speciation requires a supernatural cause?

No. But your claim that "All the causal mechanisms for evolution ... are contained within nature itself" would have to account for speciation as well.

Yes...the causal mechanisms for speciation are contained within nature itself. That has been well established.

Even if there were gaps here, are you familiar with the God of the Gaps tactic? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_of_the_gaps
Are you familiar with the Science of the Gaps tactic?
https://beyondgrasping.com/2014/11/19/sc...-the-gaps/ Notice you didn't support your claim. (Sep 22, 2017 11:59 PM)Syne Wrote: Are you familiar with the Science of the Gaps tactic? I directed you to the evolutionary explanation of speciation. If you didn't read it that's on you.
You're just too scientifically illiterate to know that it doesn't support your claims of "the causal mechanisms for speciation are contained within nature itself. That has been well established."

When did it happen? What evidence do you have for it? Was it all at once or over millions of years? Please elaborate. |
