If biological systems are, in fact, designed, as many think is the case, then your claim that no group of designed objects would have the characteristic of superimposable NH's is clearly false.
-
I'm not questioning the existence of superimposable NH's.
-
I find your attempt to try and write off independently-derived, superimposable nested hierarchies as mere homology to be as dishonest as your claims of familiarity with the evidence.
-
If biological systems are, in fact, designed, as many think is the case, then your claim that no group of designed objects would have the characteristic of superimposable NH's is clearly false.
-
I keep making the point that these hierarchies are superimposable, and you haven't addressed that point at all.
-
But Donald, Corvettes can't be arranged in a nested hierarchy that is superimposable on the nested hierarchy independently derived from the homologies between their components.
-
I'm referring to the construction of nested hierarchies from them, and when one does so with the complex entities and their components independently, one ends up with superimposable nested hierarchies.
-
So you're claim that superimposable NH's are not a characteristic of any group of designed objects already assumes that biological systems are not designed.
-
There's nothing nested or unique about the hierarchies in which designed objects can be placed, and there's nothing superimposable about those derived from complex designed objects and their components.
