can someone explain to me how evolution would work?

Answer 1

Evolution isnt true. God is he created everything

Answer 2

The basic idea is that as each generation exists, certain physical attibutes allows some of the species to thrive, while the weaker of the species dies out. The stronger better adapted part of the species would then carry on and procreate the next generation of the species and so on.

It makes sense to that point and can be seen in genetics. But the part where we were once a fish, then a monkey and then man... bit of a leap. Not to mention that if we came from "Primates" why are they still around?

Also, according to historical records and documentation, why hasn't man really changed in appearance?

Personally, I believe everything was created. I also believe that there are genetic changes from one generation to the next. It's only logical when you have several different genes mixing.God is a God of order and logic. However, it doesn't change that we are humans. A tree is a tree, a fish is a fish and so on. Everything after it's own kind.

Answer 3

Despite what some people will tell you, evolution is FACT, not theory.

We have intricate fossil records of life transforming over the years, showing clearly how one species grew into another gradually over time. We can see branching from a single ancestor, adaptations to hotter/cooler climates. Of the large number of polypeptides possible, all organisms exhibit the same 4. We all have the same RNA.....the list goes on and on (see the link below for extensive proof).

The only part of evolution that is a theory is the mechanism behind it. Darwin's "natural selection" is one of those theories, but it is not the only possible explanation. That is the only debate left in evolutionary sciences.

Answer 4

I think it basically occurs via mutation and natural selection. That is, all organisms randomly acquire traits via the natural, gradual mutations in genes. These traits may either be unadaptive to their environment, even fatal, or it would allow the organism to survive better than others of its current specie. If the trait fits the latter description, those with these traits would have greater chances to (mate and) survive, while the less adaptive would tend to die out (or in sexual organisms, i guess be unattractive) and be unable to pass on their "maladaptive" genes.

Only time can tell, though, how useful some traits really are. Some remnants of gradual evolution are neither adapative nor maladaptive, take for example, man breasts.

Answer 5

If you believe God instantly made some people with light skinned as Europeans, and other people with darker skin, because that's just what he wanted, that's creationism.

If you believe that generation after generation, the people living in very sunny places will gradually develop darker skin over time, then thats evolution. Now take that superficial example and compound it further till the point where all our body parts were gradually formed to exist out of environmental necessity and adaption. (We're talking millions of years here).

Answer 6

This is a very basic concept. Over time, organisms evolve to best survive in their conditions. So, for example, giraffes with the longest necks can eat the highest leaves on the tree, so they live. Giraffes with shorter necks can't eat as much and they tend to die off. If you die, you can't reproduce. So long neck giraffes live, and have children, that also have long necks. That's how evolution works.

Answer 7

It's very simple. Let's use the giraffe as an example. At one time, they had varying lengths of necks. Food (tree leaves) were abundant and they all thrived. After time, as the population of giraffes grew too large, the amount of leaves on the lower levels of trees started to dwindle. This left the shorter necked giraffes at a disadvantage, and eventually they starved to death. Leaving primarily long-necked giraffes to survive. So it wasn't as if the giraffe suddenly started growing a longer neck - it's just that the existing food supply gave a survivable advantage to the longer-necked version of the species.

Answer 8

Evolution is the proses of a creature changing to adapt to their changing enviroment. lizards started to be able to change colors so they could hide. Mamales grew seperated digietsto hold items. the mamath went from having hair for the iceage to having just having a fuzz to keep from burning. anphibians are a prime exampal of evolution in progress they star out in the shalow water for protection then come out but keeps the ablity to go back to excape from preditors.

Answer 9

Trying to keep it simple: the most important fact in evolution is the "natural selection process". In any species there are differences in individuals. Those whose physical characteristics are better to perform what they are expected to, will be more successful than those than doesn't´t so probably will live longer and will have more possibilities to mate. Due to genes transmission, its characteristics are going to pass to their offspring...and so on.

Answer 10

There is no "evolution". There is adaptation, but no evolution. I believe in creation, not humans being born from an explosion the size of an infinite number of hiroshima atom bombs.

Answer 11

The dog analogy was probably the easiest to understand. What I find difficult to comprehend is that if people can cause animals to evolve by selecting traits they would like to pass along. We do it with cattle, horses, dogs, birds, cats, etc etc.....and if we are smart enough to figure out how to make animals faster, and stronger, and smarter, and prettier, and more suited to their environment by adjusting the gene pool and allowing the stronger or more desirable traits to surface, why would anyone who wants so badly to believe in a god myth not want to think their particular god is that smart. You really shouldn't sell your deity short by announcing that he isn't capable of this when we can do it. -
