Would you agree?

Question

Regardless whether you think evolution is true or not, would you agree that enough mutations in a species (adaptive or otherwise) would eventually constitute evolution?

Please, if you're not going to answer the question...don't bother saying anything.

Answer 1

Agree.

Answer 2

Yes. Maybe there won't be any noticeable physical mutations in we humans(although with pollution and the destruction of the environment and living conditions getting worse on earth in every way, maybe those factors will affect the human form) but I think mutation/evolution is a common occurrence. Things are so much different than 100 years ago that if a person from 1906 came here today he/she would hardly be able to take it all in. Just look at how quantum physics shook up our viewpoint of matter being solid. Maybe our evolution will move towards more of the psychic side. Teleportation, instantaneous communication through mental telepathy---which is a reality, healing through touch--which is happening now, etc. I think mutations are happening all the time and they must constitute evolution or a else species will die.

Answer 3

Whether we call it by mutation or evolution or any other name, we all see our own growth in our individual lives and can easily note the growth and evolution of mankind over recorded history. Even simple thoughts have the potential to evolve into something more when contemplated. To me it seems to be an illusion to deny evolution happens. Just looking at the telephone over the past 25 years we see how man has evolved his thoughts into creating new and better means of communicating with one another so we've seen the phone evolve from the black rotary party line into the modern cell phones. I don't think the phone mutated though. ;-) Who knows what might be evolving this very moment. I've heard they're now able to fax objects. Sounds like teleporting in a sense. Cool!

Answer 4

i think if you believe a species can have enough mutations to become a different species then the original and be unable to mate, then thats evolution or what i believe evolution to be

Answer 5

no, because regardless of how you try to think about it, there is no evidence for evolution in the fossil record. however...mutations within the same species might be true - i'll have to check on it.

Answer 6

There are different types of evolution. Microevolution, for example, is quite provable. We see it everyday and can document it. You can't really debate or refute it as it can be substantiated quite well.

Macroevolution, on the other hand, is pure speculation. In which case, the theory must be presented with as much corroborating evidence as possible and that's where people make up their own minds.

So...yes and no. Depends on which form of evolution you are referring to. =)

Answer 7

To a certain point. I don't believe in Darwins evolution theory, but I do believe that there is mutations.

Answer 8

I agree. The earth is constantly in a state of change and all that resides on her - be it plant life, animal life or human life - have to adapt with her.

Answer 9

Yes. Humans have adapted to better suit our living conditions. It's why we now have bigger craniums (is that the right plural form?) and smaller jaws.
