Creationists, d'you know that the domestic dog (Canis familaris) evolved from the wolf (Canis lupus)?

Question

HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE.......

Answer 1

Isn't it ironic that creationists who laugh at the ape branch of the human family tree often seem to be the ones hanging closest to it?

Answer 2

actual, the undemanding dogs in all that is varieties would desire to be seen a sub species of the wolf provided that Canis Lupus is the wolf and Canis Lupus "Familiaris" is the undemanding dogs, the familiaris identifies that. so no, they could be seen distinctive species provided that they seem and behave very in a distinctive way then their ancestor, the wolf.

Answer 3

Yes, but this has nothing to do with evolution. Back a long time ago, people would take wolf pups that had been abandon and raise them as domestic animals. Through breeding techniques the various breeds were developed----this was a result of human intervention, not evolution. The dog is a relatively recent occurrence that defies the rules of evolution which dictate that it take hundreds of thousands of years or millions of years of random breeding to produce a new species. The domestic cat has come about the same way----human intervention. Cats and dogs are breed the same way that they have for about four thousand years. Wolves are breed in captivity in an attempt to domesticate them, but this is difficult to do with a pure breed of wild animal. It takes human intervention to accomplish it.

Answer 4

Preacher, do you not understand this concept or something? Evolution is evolution, whether the selection is natural or artificial. There is a shift in allele frequency, therefore evolution has occurred.

Answer 5

And amazingly enough, the wolf both looks and acts like a dog! In fact, notice in your own post that the scientific names both start with CANIS. :)

Answer 6

Ummm, that's really called selective breeding. Dogs were domesticated. They didn't evolve. That's why we have poodles and Great Danes. Of course, most breeds can cross-breed, but I wouldn't recommend letting your male mastiff breed with a Cocker Spaniel. Dude, stop smoking so much weed and stay awake in class.

Answer 7

Breed dogs and you get dogs. Breed apes and you get... modern man??? No way. With dogs it's micro evolution. There is still no evidence of macro evolution.

Answer 8

God created the domestic dog, just like he invented bread too

Genesis 18 "Both thorns and thistles it shall grow for you; And you shall eat the plants of the field;
19 By the sweat of your face You shall eat bread, Till you return to the ground, Because from it you were taken; For you are dust, And to dust you shall return."

Answer 9

I think evolution happened, i don't believe in god. But you will always get people who will say 'god created evolution'. you can't win so don't bother.
