My friend here is being a fag and saying that there is no such thing as evolution. What are your thoughts?

Well, what my idea is is that there has been physical changes throughout human history as well as mental. I am a Christian, and I believe the Adam and Eve story, but the Bible doesn't specify their physical appearance. So in other words, Adam and Eve could have been cavemen! I suppose none of us will know until their skeletons are discovered. Or until we're dead. Whichever comes first.

I have been studying Science for the last 10 years
and as for the Theory of Evolution, it is Just that a Theory.
it is basiically like trying to guess what a picture is by only looking at less than one percent of the whole picture.
There are millions of species alive today, and many more species have gone extinct over the history of this planet. also out of the billions of single life forms that have lived on this planet very few Fossils have actually been discovered.(this is the <1%)
these fossils that have been discovered have been used to map out a Theory of Evolution composed of Plateus (rungs of a ladder or steps on a staircase, but with nothing connecting the steps or rungs together) of species. but there are no fossils that have been found that are between these Plateus. for the Theory to ever become a Fact what is reqired is to find fossils that clearly show the change of one species into another (rope, rope-ladder(rungs), or chain of fossil evidence, when graphed will show a slope with horizontal flat sections) or for some currently living animal to give birth to something that is unable to reproduce with the Mother species but is able to reproduce with one that is identical to it.

An Evolutionary-Mutation would be fertile,but would have a completely different Genome from the Parent Species, unlike a normal mutation which damages the genetic code leaving the child infertile or with severe birth defects that ussually end in death, example is a mule which is the cross between a donkey and a horse. though it is similar to the parent species it is unable to reproduce with either species or with other crosses. it is there fore infertile and there for it is a mutation and is not considered a new species.

Many people have tried to claim that the Finches of Galapagos Island and other areas of the world are able to evolve. this is not the case all it is is a case of special specialization. it is simply a case of rececive genes taking dominance through variences in food availability. (the differences noticed in the Finches have been beak sizes and shapes).

As food availability changes the finches that have the genes which will enable them to make the best use of the available foods will gain dominance over those finches whose beak genes are specialized toward the food that is out of season or no longer available. there fore the average shape of the beaks will change over time in acordance to what food is readily available.

The finches have not changed species thay have just become specialized within their species. this can also cause some Genes to become extinct within a Species or Race. this is why "Race" could even be concidered to exist. Can make the Species Stronger or weaker based on what genes are lost over time.

On the other hand if the finches were no longer able to reproduce with the parent species but were only able to reproduce with other finches with the same beak size and shape then that Would mean that they had undergone Evolutionary-Mutation.
But this could only be tested in a Labratory under Precice Conditions.

Evolution does no longer require “theory”. scientific theories are the two supported or no longer supported. a individual’s “theory” in them is beside the point. The technological know-how is settled, and there rather is not any debate. Evolution is the theory maximum supported via the information. fairly ignorant people could brush aside it via asserting “It’s purely an theory”. the only subject this assertion shows is that the speaker has no information of the be conscious “concept” in scientific words. there's a “concept” of Gravity. could they, subsequently, deny the existence of gravity? Evolution could properly be and has been reported. it particularly is a fact. The “concept” is how those information come collectively and why, no longer the concern (gravity, evolution and so on.) itself. I even have heard quite a few people ask “If monkeys grew to become into people, why are there nevertheless monkeys?” people and different primates (great Apes) have a worry-unfastened ancestor. Apes did no longer “develop into “people. it is like asking “If the Pilgrims got here from England, how can there nevertheless be an England”? some people will reject scientific information, no count how properly supported, if it contradicts their religious faith. There are, in existence as we talk, people who easily have confidence the Earth is flat with the aid of fact their interpretation of particular Biblical memories could be impossible on a around Earth. All information that contradicts the Bible must be rejected so as that they could safeguard their worldview. it particularly is quite unhappy, rather. And yet, in case you have been to represent that Zeus (or any of the loads of gods people had earlier theirs) have been accountable, creationists could say that grew to become into ridiculous, and clearly according to superstition and mythology.

macro evolution (from one type of animal to another type) doesn't happen. there is no evidence for it. because of evolution, millions of people have died, mainly under the Communists and under the Nazis. if evolution is correct, there is no such thing as a right or wrong. all truth is relative and there are no absolutes. you can argue that 2+2=5 and you would be correct because there is no one saying what is true. there is no source of truth. if evolution is right, there are 30,000 stars being born every second, yet we've never seen one born. if evolution is right, why do humans have appendixes if apes don't, only smaller animals like rabbits do. if evolution is right, where did the universe originate. how could life spring out of nothing? how could thought arrive? search for the truth with an open heart and you will find It.

(Read this if you believe in god) Adam and Eve were created by God which were HUMANS, Was God a monkey? NO he was human! So just ask yourself this, do you really think that people were another species in the Paleolithic times? Use your head of course it's not real, scientists think that they're right and the bible is wrong. I'm sorry that I answered this 7 years later.

The Watchman has used the usual creationist trick of selectively quoting other people out of context. Let there be no mistake, Darwin and the vast majority of scientists believe in evolution.

Regarding the missing early fossils that Watchman talks about, see the quote below, but you can also check up on Precambrian fossils yourself. Thousands of Precambrian fossils have now been found.

In 1859, in On the Origin of Species, Darwin broached what he regarded to be the most vexing problem facing his theory of evolutionthe lack of a rich fossil record predating the rise of shelly invertebrates that marks the beginning of the Cambrian Period of geologic time (550 million years ago), an "inexplicable" absence that could be "truly urged as a valid argument" against his all embracing synthesis. For more than 100 years, the "missing Precambrian history of life" stood out as one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in natural science. But in recent decades, understanding of life's history has changed markedly as the documented fossil record has been extended seven-fold to some 3,500 million years ago, an age more than three-quarters that of the planet itself.

In any case, science says nothing about the existence or non-existence of god. Science does not even address this question. EVOLUTION DOES NOT SAY THAT GOD DOES NOT EXIST,

I don't know him. If you say he's acting like the southern end of a northbound horse, I suppose I'll have to take your word for it. I can't tell if he is just expressing automatic negativity, showing mental laziness, jerking your chain, or absolutely devout.

As for me, I'm quite comfortable with evolution, and find alternate explanations for biological diversity lacking.

Let, me give you a scenario. Once upon a time, there was a lot full of weeds. Then, gradually over several centuries the soil softened and became fertilized, and flower seeds floated out of nowhere, dropping themselves perfectly onto the lot as to form a garden with flower beds at the sides and a tree in the center, and a perfect backyard design. The weeds just died and all the flowers dropped perfectly in order with the marigolds in one place, the tulips in another, and the roses in another.Then, over several decades, grass began to grow and a lawn was created. Birds dropped seeds of vegetables on just one bare patch of the garden and they grew just on that patch to form a little vegetable garden with the tomatoes in one row, the beans in another, and the cabbages in yet another. Insects also began to gather in the garden, and the garden stayed in perfect condition despite lack of maintenance because after all, it was just an accident. Then the insects begin to wonder, "did somebody create this garden that we live in" In this scenario, the answer is that there was no creator, but honestly, what are the chances of that garden happening without somebody to work it, harvest it, organize it, and plant it. God still takes care of the earth today just as a gardener would take care of a garden. Just ten little miles closer to the sun, and we're scorched. Just ten little miles back, and we freeze. Just one little disruption in our Galaxy'x balance of gravity, and everything careens out of control. I rest my case. This is why I believe that there is a God and a Creator. It's ok if you don't believe this, but at least think about it.

God Bless!

Fake!!!
God made man from the dust of the earth, breathed into his nostril the breath of life, and man became as living soul.
Plant life was already here, in the garden of Eden
God is life and the source of life, without him you have no life.
God the Almighty one , was the first and the last, the alpha and omega, which was and is, and is to be
To believe in evolution is senseless
To believe we just came into being is senless,
Then we would just be zombies, not knowing anything, because there would be no life force within us................
