Evolution is a fact?

Question

Is this incorrect?

A virus has been known to adjust it's DNA to overcome the vaccines made to kill them.

Certain species have been weeded out of existance because of natural selection.

Variations of species exist now that evolved from ones formerly existing. The Wooly mammoth for example. Doesnt this make evolution more than credible?

Answer 1

The "theory of evolution", as I imagine you agree, is not a theory in the most basic sense at all, it is a fact. There is a principle that says organisms have the tendency to adapt and conform to the environment in which they live (SAID - specific adaptations to imposed demands). As an environment changes, fitter organisms tend to survive and pass on desirable traits to their offspring, while unfit organisms often succumb to the pressures of their changing environment. This is true, and there is plenty of evidence to support it in all of nature. As fit traits become more prominent due to selection pressures, species - over generations - have the tendency to morph, diverge, or change to better adapt and survive. I believe that evolution in this sense is a provable fact.

Answer 2

No one denies that things change, of course they do. Elephants evolved from Wooly Mammoths, no problem there. What the problem is, is changing from one kind to another. Evolutionist teach that birds evolved from lizards which are completely different animals (kinds) when the "Archaeopteryx" is the oldest known "bird" as it has a beak wings and feathers, but also has teeth and a tail... it might not look like any bird we have today but it is still a bird... there isnt anything yet to show that birds were ever lizards, though scientists believe its the most "logical" animal to have evolved from. These things are what are not facts, but only theory and what Creationists dont believe in.

Answer 3

true that viruses can alter their DNA but thats not an example of evolution, that is an example of genetic mutation but not evolution in the molecules to man sense. some species have indeed been weeded out but not entirely because of natural selection. changing climates after the flood sparked an ice age (creationists looking at this, e mail me, ill explain in more detail) that would have killed off many of the dinosaurs. the wooly mammoth was actually only the size of modern elephants and is genetically close to asian elephants. if evolution is so credible, then why have they yet to produce an intermediate form? all of the ones ive been shown have been models of artists renditions based off very small bone fragments or only a few bones.

Answer 4

the reality which you assert to not use a 'concept' shows which you're at once grew to become off by using the thought of a medical concept and deeply misunderstand what which potential. There are literal mountains of information to assist evolution yet for sure you're seeing it in the process the lens of religion it is likewise blinding you. in case you % conclusive information of evolution purely take a seem on the flu virus on your solutions. in line with annum is mutates and adapts and hence demands us to aim and be previous to the 'evolution'. You reported canines that hint returned to the wolf it is yet another variety of evolution it is straightforward to verify the dramatic adjustments that could take place in a short quantity of time. think of the potential of exchange that could take place over thousands and thousands or hundred of thousands and thousands of years. it is evolution. Evolution is a actuality and mutually as there are info that proceed to be doubtful it would not disprove it. neither is evolution there to discredit the bible. There are way too many things on the subject of the bible that discredits itself that would not require evolution to be in contact. Your eyes are open yet your ideas is closed and none of this could make any experience till you end seeing what you % to verify and see what's sparkling.

Answer 5

I think evolution is a theory that appears to explain the changes in living organism than anything up to date so far.

Pilgrim is an example of an individual that has no logic he says macro-evolution has never been observed well since man's recorded history is only a few thousands year old how would you observed it. I know dinosaur existed millions of years ago even though we never observed them.

What the hell is micro-evolution is it like being a little bit pregnant
either the principles are or they are not you can just believe in the portion you like or can't downplay.

Answer 6

No. Evolution is a theory. However, a theory doesn't mean "guess".

A theory is a set of statements or principles devised to explain a group of facts or phenomena, especially one that has been repeatedly tested and can be used to make predictions about natural phenomena.

Evolution fits this definition. It has been tested. There is an overwhelming amount of evidence supporting evolution. It exists.

Answer 7

I wouldn't say that evolution is a fact, because I don't actually know if it has been proven. I would say that the facts we have definitely lean toward it. Creationism, should just be thrown right out the window though, as I have not seen any facts supporting that theory!

Answer 8

What kind of evolution?

Micro-evolution (aka variations within a kind) has been observed and can be considered scientific fact.

Macro-evolution (that one kind of animal becomes another kind of animal over millions of years) is hypothesis and has never been observed.

Micro-evolution is nothing more than a quality control mechanism that keeps lions good lions, and eagles good eagles. It helps an animal adapt to temperature extremes or habitat range, but it will never cause a lizard to grow feathers.

Science is science and fact is fact. ID or creationism is as much a theory as macro-evolution, as a matter of fact, it's a theory that better explains the evidence and archeology.

Answer 9

The bible tells us diseases are caused by demons, not by viruses. Have you ever seen a virus? I don't think so! Any Species weeded out of existence did so because they didn't follow Jesus. Wooly Mammoth's never existed. The bible doesn't mention them. Any evidence for wooly mamoths were planted by Satan.
Anyone who believes in satanic sciences such as evolution is just going to burn in hell.

Answer 10

That is a fact. Howevor, some Christians think that this is not proof, because i guess they think that humans couldn't do in a few million years what a virus can do in a few days? Most of the time, tho, it's because their church tells them it is wrong and they accept it.

At least, this is what people at my high school have told me during debates.
