How did all the different types of animals evolve from common ancestors, and why no fossil record to prove it?

Question

The theory of evolution has serious flaws.

It makes much more sense to believe that complex things and living things were intelligently designed or created.

Answer 1

You guys keep trying.

The theory of planetary motion is pretty well accepted, and that only took 300 years. You can SEE that the sun moves around the earth, but these fuzzy-headed people called astronomers came up with this wild theory - the earth moves around the sun!

So today, 99.99% of all biologists, zoologists and botanists tell us the theory of evolution is the best explanation they have of the diversity - and similarity - of life. Christian biologists, Jewish bioligists, Muslim biologists, Sikh biologists . . .
95% of the Christian fundamentalists reject the theory. (85% of them accept the theory of planetary motion, however.)

Evolution is only a theory and it flies in the face of common sense. There is no way a Great Dane and a toy poodle can have the same ancestor.

Maybe by 2206 that 95% rate will be down to 15%. We can hope.

Answer 2

Wow, you have been lied to big time. The fossil record of 250,000 species shows nothing but gradual, incremental, systematic change of geographically overlapping morphotypes.

If you don't know how "all the different types of animals evolve from common ancestors" then you clearly haven't taken the time to study the first thing about evolution. To say it has "serious flaws" is not only incredibly ignorant, but head-in-the-sand wishful thinking.

If you look at the sky outside for a while it makes more sense to believe that the sun rotates around the Earth. Is this what you believe too??

Answer 3

Yikes, you need to do some more research sweetheart. And for the record...The theory of evolution keeps getting misinterpreted. For those who argue against evolution, their only argument is that it's only a theory and that it could be wrong, missing links, blah blah. And for those who agree with it also say its a theory that you don't have to believe in if you don't want to. The term "theory" is misinterpreted here. In science, a theory is not just an educated guess that could be wrong or right, (like a hypothesis). A theory is an idea or fact that has been developed due to a tremendous amount of work over long, long periods of time. Like the Heliocentric theory, which states that the Earth revolves around the sun (which was strongly opposed in the ancient Greek days as being against religion). Or like the theory of relativity, or atomic theory which says that matter is made of atoms. In science, theories are generally accepted as proven and true. Not to be confused with scientific laws which are similar to theories except they only govern a single action (laws of thermodynamics). So whether people "accept" it or not, in the science world, evolution has already been tested and proven and is not questioned like all the other theories. You know, just like bacteria have 'evolutionized' to become resistant to certain things. And you know, I have never seen an atom or the earth moving around the sun with my own eyes, but that doesn't mean I'm going to totally refute it.

Answer 4

Ouch...my brain hurt from that faulty assumption. Let me make this absolutely clear.

The fossil record IS the evidence for evolution. It's a huge factor when discussing evolution.

Actually, evolution is pretty air tight when it comes to being explained...with advances in genetics we're able to further provide evidence for evolution. Research a scientist named Carl Woese and his work with RNA.

The belief that everything was intelligently designed at one time and just popped into existence is a foolish notion. You can't deny straightforward evidence, if you did, then our justice system is a sham.

Answer 5

My thinking on intelligent design is that people need a reason for why everything happened the way it did. So there for the simplest reason for us to be here is for a supreme being(s) to have created us. Am I saying that without a doubt there is no supreme being(s). No I am not. I believe that we evolved from the simplest forms of life, little cells. I just see there to be no reason for me to need an explination of why I am here. So by my thinking I suppose I have no god.
And yes intelligent design makes more sense to a mind that has not ventured out into the world and taken in all that there is to be taken in. Not saying that I have been there, done everything.

Answer 6

The fossil record is full of data to support evolution. Please investigate it before saying such.

In fact, evolution is a theory like the theory of aerodynamics. You know the theory we fly planes on. There is FAR more data to support it that there is to deny it.

Just a couple hundred of years ago we thought the earth was flat too.

Answer 7

that's referred to as "coevolution," and there are a number of greater examples of it as properly the yucca moth. "Interactions between organisms can produce the two conflict and co-operation. whilst the interplay is between pairs of species, at the same time with a pathogen and various, or a predator and its prey, those species can strengthen matched contraptions of adjustments. right here, the evolution of one species reasons adjustments in a 2d species. those transformations interior the 2d species then, in turn, reason new adjustments interior the 1st species. This cycle of determination and reaction is termed co-evolution. An occasion is the production of tetrodotoxin interior the tough-skinned newt and the evolution of tetrodotoxin resistance in its predator, the effortless garter snake. in this predator-prey pair, an evolutionary palms race has produced intense stages of toxin interior the newt and correspondingly intense stages of resistance interior the snake."

Answer 8

Just because we can't find something, it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. Just because we haven't found a fossil of the common ancestor, it doesn't mean that there is no common ancestor!

Answer 9

Grasping at straws.

Answer 10

Your fallacy is obvious for all to see.
