I just asked a question about evolution, and why we can't just use the terms evolution and speciation. Then I presented a challenge that people tell my why two separate colonies of a species, in two separate conditions, the arctic tundra, and the amazon rainforest, could not evolve into separate species. Let's assume we start with amoeba colonies.

Why, after several millions of years, would the amoeba in alaska not become snow worms, and the amoeba in the rainforest an aquatic microscopic predator?

Remember, instead of just presenting logical arguments, present sources! I don't want any numbers or percentages without references!

Today we learn how to debate, children!

Hmm. Still no sources, one person who told me to turn of the creative and inquisitive part of my mind, a couple of people asking me questions in response to a question, honestly, have any of you actyually debated before? I have proposed the question, it's up to you to argue the negative or positive side of it. If you want to ask a question of your own, don't click the "answer" button, click the "ask" button.

What do you understand about the effects of environmental pressures within the habitats of any given species as the cause of evolutionary change? Therein lies the reason for adaptation and evolution-whatever pressures exist within the habitat dictate what adaptations emerge.


Edit-Do you think we're stupid? I suspect you're insisting on sources in order to avoid debate.

If there are no selection pressures then there are no selection pressures, it isn't difficult. As a layman I do not have access to the sources you 'demand' I suggest you enrol at a University library if you are serious and not ask on Yahoo Answers.

However I doubt there are 'sources' for your particular question as it is easy to answer.

Oh and one more thing, I used to debate Politicans, Clergy and Philosophers many of whom you would actually have heard of so leave out the ad hominems.

then also comes the question of if one species comes by chance how in the world is there a male and female that are compatible to reproduce come by chance, its one thing for a species to come from nothing but male and female from all types of different species, creation friends is the only solution.

Look, evolution is true. It's the mechanism that's debateable.

Because they have adapted to their environment, they didn't have to evolve.

This question has been asked since Darwin. There are no final answers given.

However, if you read the Bible and believe it, this question will go away and you will have a measure of peace and rest. Not to mention going to heaven!
