How much more obvious can the reality of evolution be?

Question

The DNA evidence: 98% same DNA with apes.

Fossil evidence: Carbon dated pre-cursors to man. Not man, not ape. Larger cc skull capacity than apes but less than man.

Empirical evidence: Koko the gorilla can speak over a thosand words in sentences.( www.koko.org ). Observable process of viral evolution (vaccines lose effectiveness cause the organism adapted).

Answer 1

Yet people choose to be ignorant don't they?

In response to the post below me, evolution is a theory but that does not make it false, it is irrefutable to say that hominids did not exist. Creationism is not provable and therefore can not even be close to being a theory

Answer 2

Carbon dating has it's flaws- it has dated objects less than 100 years old to be millions.

Koko can speak sentences, but my dog scratches on the door when it needs to pee- animals have some mental capacity when trained.

Viral Evolution is just as you have stated Adaptation.
There has never been any known virus to change 1% of its DNA structure, not even .000001%

The number of DNA sequences required to make up the difference in your 2% from being an ape is in the billions.

We have yet to see any species change species.

If evolution is the betterment/advancement of an animal. Why did all of the steps between ape and man become "extinct?" And just to keep you from throwing an excuse back in my face--Why are apes still around? If I was still an ape I would be pretty hacked off.

Answer 3

because the theory has holes. You said that vehicles advanced. vehicles are machines that were made with the help of sensible human beings. besides the undeniable fact that the human body is even more effective complicated that, so likely it replaced into with the help of a more effective sensible being. also, a pandemic remains a pandemic after it advanced, no longer an total different species. Miro-evolution is apparent, yet no count number the way you breed a canines or mutate a pandemic, a canines is a canines and a pandemic is a pandemic. i'm merely as skeptical of God as i'm of evolution, yet, actuality is, both theories won't be able to be proved, yet both have info. Evolution is blindly well-referred to as actuality because that's the in straightforward words selection to being responsable to anybody yet ourselves. keep an open recommendations. Evolution is in straightforward words one theory. We also theory the earth replaced into flat at one element. you could say that "evolution is technology and each thing else is merely nonsense" yet there is clinical info to help alternitive perspectives as well. carry out slightly research.

Answer 4

Koko can't speak, she can use sign language to communicate with people (still, very impressive)...it's a notable difference which should be kept in mind when trying to convince people your view is right.

An interesting journal article for anyone that isn't bothered by reading technical science journals: http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v437/n7055/pdf/nature04072.pdf

overview: "Here we present a draft genome sequence of the common chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes). Through comparison with the
human genome, we have generated a largely complete catalogue of the genetic differences that have accumulated since
the human and chimpanzee species diverged from our common ancestor, constituting approximately thirty-five million
single-nucleotide changes, five million insertion/deletion events, and various chromosomal rearrangements. We use this
catalogue to explore the magnitude and regional variation of mutational forces shaping these two genomes, and the
strength of positive and negative selection acting on their genes. In particular, we find that the patterns of evolution in
human and chimpanzee protein-coding genes are highly correlated and dominated by the fixation of neutral and slightly
deleterious alleles. We also use the chimpanzee genome as an outgroup to investigate human population genetics and
identify signatures of selective sweeps in recent human evolution."

jesusfreak...you should stop getting your science info from religious sources. The BB theory is widely accepted by scientists, theists and atheists alike. Plus, evolution has absolutely nothing to do with the BB, they are two separate theories.

Answer 5

""The DNA evidence: 98% same DNA with apes.""
WRONG! More DNA in common with Broccoli than Apes.

DNA Proves we all come from the same original Parents!

Skull cap stuff--- The study of PHRENOLOGY has been discontinued in ALL Universities because it was proven WRONG so much of the time.

Parrots have been speaking for a hundred years----so?

Answer 6

Carbon dating's reliability is in dispute.

Koko being able to speak is not evidence of evolution but that animals can learn and be taught; something I'm sure that GOD wanted them to be able to do.

Which evolution are you talking about anyway? The completely random, no god existing, out of a big bang evolution or the god directed evolution.

The fact is, for me, evolution and its falsity couldn't be any more obvious.

Answer 7

Have you ever seen a reference to a dimension of TIME? ...... Our Sciences are just recently (Feb.1997) noting gamma ray bursts -GRB's- which offer evidence of fading stars and dimming galaxies, some of which were observed earlier in history but not understood.........The X-ray Timing devices are able to report magnitudes of black holes AND show that explosions are ejecting materials with velocities near the speed of light...

Could you surmise that God's creation was an infinite universe of many evolving worlds and designs? ........ Would it mean anything less to you if you credit God with the beginning of "evolution"?

Answer 8

There could be a zillion possible explanations for the items you list (one of which is the popular theory of evolution). Think creatively!

And as hard as it may be to understand, people of all the varying persuasions think their belief system is as obvious as evolution seems to you.

Answer 9

evolution facts are 100,000,000 to the 100th power that evolution might of happened. God making the world there is a 10out of 9 chance so you pick which one sounds more obviouse

Consider this, Mr. DArwin....


Suppose God, in his infinite ability and wisdom, planted those facts here to test our faith?


Marvinator, your a moron, anyone could say that about anything.


Face it Mr. Darwin, religious people will never believe you because it would make the challenge their beliefs
