do u believe in evolution?

Question

Charles Darwin believed that we meaning humans evolved from apes. and evolution is survival of the fittest and only mutations/evolution what ever u wanna call it is an improvement.
THEREFORE HOW WOULD YOU EXPLAIN THIS, WHY DID WE LOSE ARE COATS THATS NOT AN ADVANGETAGE?

Answer 1

Yes, it is. We would all be naked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Answer 2

The question do you believe is not important, It's already been proven beyond doublt, Evolution is apart of life, Dinasours have been around - evidence found from the skeletal remains, they just simply died out.

The apes are still around because man hasn't destroyed them yet but saying that were doing a good job so far, If anything The evidance proves The strongest survive while the weak end up dead.

Although it's easy to think of humans, Evolution has taken place in plant life, rocks and other things including in space. Cross-breeding is a part of evolution, If anything the Genectics have proven evolution is real, The Scientists and Docters taking Genes and dna syncrences out of this or that,
designer babies, test-tube babies, Clones of anything it's all about Evolution, the question is not if we should clone humans it's when, infact it's already happening cloned boby parts 1 clone baby has been born either illegally or not i can not say. If so that clone baby is just 1 more step along the long path.

More recent is the life expectancy, Today you can expect to live up to 85 for males and 95 for females in england. In 1806 the avarage life expectancy was much lower, 62 for males and 75 for females, We know why, yet thats another evolution change.

Answer 3

Evolution is a belief system and is not supported by the evidence.

For example, there is no evidence that humans and monkeys had a common ancestor.
Every fossil hominid that has been found is clearly an ape/monkey or clearly a human.

There are many people who have a philosophical (religious) belief in evolution, and they try to interpret the evidence to support their beliefs.
Some have gone to the extent of fraud - e.g. Piltdown man
or close to it e.g. Java Man

Even the Natural History Museum in London deliberately midleads - its model of 'Lucy' has human-like hands and feet, when it is known that australopithecines had ape-like hands and feet.

Survival of the fittest (or Natural Selection) is not the same thing as (goo-to-you) evolution. Unfortunately many people (deliberately) confuse them.

Selection happens all around us, but animals and plants change only within the limits set by their genetic code. Evolution requires *new* genetic information. It is claimed that mutations have provided this new information. However observation tells us that mutations always result in the same or less genetic information. They are generally harmful (e.g. Downs Syndrome) though occasionally they can confer selective advantage - e.g. loss of wings could be a benefit for an insect on a small island.

Natural Selection is akin to devolution. A Dalmation dog is much more specialised than a wolf. I doubt it would be possible to breed a wolf from a pair of dalmations. However it would in principle be possible to breed something like a dalmation from a pair of wolves. This principle is used to breed types of dogs, high yield crops, etc.
In the wild it has happened to big cats. Lions and Tigers are specialsed from their big cat ancestor. They don't natrually interbreed , but Tions and Ligers have been bred in captivity

Answer 4

Homo Sapiens Sapiens is a member of the ape family in the order Mammalia and the Kingdom of Animals. We share 95% of our DNA with the other great apes such as Chimps and Gorillas and are related by a common ancestor.
Humankind did not evolve from apes we are apes, the reason Darwin thought we had evolved from apes is the family resemblance, much like we have with cousins sometimes. Look at a chimp and you can see a human, and quite often vice versa.

Early homanids such as Australapithicus did not have the same thick fur as their cousins, part of the reason for our evolution is related to fire and our early habit of walking upright. Fire allowed our brains to develop as we could direct more energy to them by keeping warm around the fire, walking upright freed our hands to work tools and allowed us to lose the opposable big toe.

The reason we don't "see" evolution today is it takes millions of years for a species to evolve. Some evolve faster than others depending on their breeding rate. In the Jurassic (around 200 million years ago) Ammonites evolved so fast Geologist use them to date rocks to within 1 million years.
Human generations are roughly 30 years apart and as it can take many generations for an adaption to show, humans evolve slowly. Every generation is slightly different from the last and will be slightly different from the next. We are the product of 50% mother and 50% father genetically.

Sometimes evolution gives an advantage to a species allowing it to thrive, sometimes it results in a disadvantage, if that disadvantage doesn't threaten the survivability of the species it hangs around in the gene pool. Occasionally a disadvantage also brings about an increase survivability. Sickle Cell Anaemia is a painfull disease in the African gene pool which actually gives carriers of the gene, but not sufferers of the disease, an increased resistance to Malaria, increasing their chance of survival.

So, believe it or not, Darwin's theory of Evolution is correct, he might not have been spot on but his idea was sound.

Answer 5

I am going to answer your second question because the first one is trite and insipid.

Humans evolved from ape-like ancestors in a very hot tropical area that is now Africa. The advantages of having progressively less and less hair (which would have occurred over thousands and millions of years), include a cooler body. If you heat stroke and die before you can produce offspring, your hairy body genes will not be passed on. Conversely, if only less- or non-hairy individuals in a population live, only their genes for less hairiness will be passed on. There are other advantages that not being hairy can confer, such as fewer external parasites like ticks and lice. Parasitism often lowers reproductive output.

I suggest you be more open-minded about the world around you. The science behind evolution and genetics is really quite fascinating.

Answer 6

Just because schools teach you that Charles Darwin was an evolutionist he actually didn't believe in it himself and always made the point that it wasn't to be taken as fact, it was only a theory! If you read his works you'll discover he was one of the greatest believers in Creationism. Evolution is nonsense - if we changed species by walking out of the water, then growing fur to become apes, then losing the fur to become human, how do you explain that species don't change nowadays? I can't actually see anyone evolving, just adapting to our environment. One species cannot change into another and evolutionists have probably been brainwashed.

Answer 7

Yes evolution is a theory that has very strong evidence to support it.

We have the same ancestors as apes we didn't come from apes.

Humans have more hair folicles on their bodies than do apes. Our hair is just much thinner and finer. For us to lose our excess coat was an advantage when living on the plains in africa or other warm climates where the earliest humans are found.

Answer 8

Did you know that Charles Darwin denounced his own theory before he died? Also, all of the so-called breakthroughs or missing links were disproved. Evolution was never able to be proven, nor is there any evidence to suggest that it may even be possible. Men have grasped onto it because it "gives evidence" that man was not created by God.

Check out the website http://www.icr.org/ to read about facts, if you are really interested. The Institute for Creation Research is made up of highly educated scientists from all fields of science. A quote from their website:

"Today there are thousands of scientists who are creationists and who repudiate any form of molecules-to-man evolution in their analysis and use of scientific data. Creation scientists can now be found in literally every discipline of science, and their numbers are increasing rapidly. Evolutionists are finding it increasingly difficult to maintain the fiction that evolution is "science" and creation science is "religion". When news media personnel and others make such statements today, they merely reveal their own liberal social philosophies — not their awareness of scientific facts."

Most of these scientists became creationists after trying valiantly to prove evolution was true. However, instead of finding evidence for evolution, they instead found vast amounts of evidence that there had to be an intelligent creator. They had to change their own minds about what they believed to be true.

The laws of probability alone prove that man just couldn't be created by accident or circumstance. When have you seen anything in nature become better? Instead everything degrades and becomes worse, dies and decays, etc.

Most creationists believe in a young earth, one created by an intelligent creator. Some acknowledge him as God, some don't.

Answer 9

In a hot climate, losing one's coat would be an advantage. If you believe Darwin and you believe we evolved from apes and early man turned up in tropical Africa, then this all makes sense.
That said, I accept adapatation and evolution make sense, however they fail to explain how fundamental existence - time and space started. Am I to believe existence came out of absolute nothingness, hence there was initally neither space nor time and these and in turn the entire universe came forth from nowhere - literally?

Answer 10

Evolution is happening in a very important way as we speak. All you have to do is look at the continuing emergence of resistance to antibiotics among bacteria. This is evolution happening in a very short period of time due to the stressors that we have put on the microorganisms.
If you expose a colony of bacteria to an antibiotic they have never seen, most if not all of them will die the first, second, third, even hundredth time. However, eventually one of them will develop a mutation in its DNA that allows it to survive the antibiotic. This one will flourish and before you know it you have a colony of resistant bacteria.
This is evolution. DNA mutations that confer a survival advantage allowing certain individuals to outlast the others. Antimicrobial resistance is the perfect example.

Answer 11

Yes, I believe in the theory of evolution. It makes the most sense. And we adapt to our environments. Evolution has many factors that affect it, and we could lose our coats as a result of a sudden climate change. Over a period of time, we adapt and evolve.
