Noise in the Evolution Signal

Not everyone has state-of-the-art audio receivers always available, and tuning in to a distant broadcast can include static and other noise. If there is too much, we may say "Fuggedaboudit" and move on. It would have been nice to hear the program, though. It is similar when using televisions with aerials.

For something that is considered a "fact" or even a "law," the signal from proponents of descent-with-modification evolution should be clear. It is not. Many scientists and those in academia do not understand evolution, so no wonder the common person is confused.

A researcher and a professor think they have tools to reduce the noise in statistical rates. However, they were talking about what some folks erroneously call microevolution, which is really just small changes: a bacterium is still a bacterium, a frog is still a frog, a chimpanzee is still a chimpanzee. Basically, the noise remains because they are attempting to clarify an excuse for denying the obvious truth of creation that is clearly seen.

A high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is always desirable. Noise confuses a communication, like static on a radio broadcast. People want signal! They want to hear the message. So where is the message in a process like Darwin’s Stuff Happens Law? Let’s watch an evolutionary biologist explain how he thinks he has improved the SNR in data that other evolutionists have gathered about how fast evolution works: the “evolution rate” or “diversification rate”—the speed at which evolutionary changes occur, including extinction.
