evolution?

Question

I know it is a theory, but how can people believe it? How can people believe that every single living organism evolved from a common ancestor? I mean like...that would mean we were related to..snails and grass?
Before you go any further, here's some questions:
1. Where did the space for the universe come from?
2. How did matter get so perfectly organized?
3. Is it possible that similarities in design between different animals prove a common creator instead of a common ancestor?
4. Natural selection onlyw orks iwth the genetic info availabe and tends only to keep a species stable. How would you explain the increasing complexity in the genetic code that must have occurred if evolution were true???

Answer 1

It's amazing how blind some people can be. The chances of human life evolving from what some scientists claim is the same as a tornado ripping through a junkyard and properly assembling an operating 747 airplane. Not likely. Even most scientists today agree that everything they've learned points to an intelligent designer.
Also, I think the person who said "there is more proof of evolution than God" is an idiot. Look around? Ever seen anything beautiful? That right there is proof of God.

Answer 2

More than sixty percent of the genes in yeast are also found in human beings. Seventy percent of the genes in fruit flies are also found in human beings. Yes, we are all related at a fundamental level.

1. Nobody knows, but it's not important for evolutionary theory anyway.
2. Living things are far from perfect. Why do blind cave fish have useless eyes?
3. A common creator cannot account for the time ordered appearance of descendant species in the fossil record -- unless, of course, a cosmic-joker God created the universe in such a way as to make it appear as though evolution occurs. This, by the way, is why Intelligent Design is an unscientific idea: there is no conceivable test which can falsify it. (On the other hand, find a mammalian fossil in a pre-Cambrian rock, and evolution would be falsified at a stroke.)
4. DNA is a self-replicating molecule, which means that it is quite common for organisms to carry multiple copies of genes in their genome. When one of these copies is altered through mutation, more complexity is created naturally.

Answer 3

1. Until the Big Bang the Universe was a giant void that was filled in by the expanding chemicals of the bang
2. Its by chance that everything is the way it is. That sounds unreasonable but our world would be entirely different than the one we know today if radiation or certian chemical levels had been different millions of years ago.
3. It could suggest both. Really Evolution only confilcts with the creationism of the Bible and little else, and just because one exists doesn't mean the other is automatically ruled out.
4. I'm confused by what you're asking here. Natural Selection is the elmination of certian genes from all the gene pools because the gene couldn't be reproduced into another animal. Obviously some animals that have defective genes still make it to reproduction, but those genes aren't usually incredibly harmful.

Answer 4

Have you taken a basic biology.

Do you know what dna and the similarities we share with other organisms?

1. We live among one of several membranes that is our universe.

2. The big bang is thought to have occured between the collision of two membranes. Creating matter.

3. All the elements we are made of were created in the fusion reactions of a star.

4. We could very well have a common creator and a common ancestor. What makes you think we cant?

How is the complexity of genetic code changing? DNA is still dna and the code has remanined the same for a very long time.

Please post additional comments I will read back later......

Answer 5

The theory of evolution is the most highly regaurded affirmation in all of the biological sciences. In fact, nothing in biology makes sense except when in the light of evolution. I'm not sure you have a good concept on the amount of time evolution needs to produce results. For example, single celled life appeared about 2 billion years ago and has evolved due to the great amount of generation created. Also, the fact that all life uses DNA as the genetic material suggests explicitly that we are all related. Are you aware that an infinite number of amino acids could exist in this world but only 23 exist.
As for the space in the universe. It boggles my mind to think about it. Matter is not perfectly organized but tends to be chaotic (2nd law of thermodynamics-Entropy).
In the end, the theory of evolution (the explanation of evolution) has more support than the theory of gravity. It is ignorant to not accept evolution. However, if you wish to keep causing strife by insisting that a choice be made between god and science then keep on keepin on.
I think you need to at least take an evolution class before you start talking about natural selection as a stabilizing speciator without first acknowledging the other ways in which natural selection works. Before you make any more ignorant claims, please do some background work.

Answer 6

1. The space for the universe came from the singularity called "The Big Bang", which was the beginning of time & space.

2. Matter is NOT perfectly organized. The universe is in chaos!

3. Similarities between organisms (especially "spandrels", or "useless features" like the appendix, or nipples on male mammals) actually prove that either evolution is responsible, or that any "designer" was an idiot!

4. You clearly do not understand natural selection! If a piece of crab-grass grows out into a crack in the highway, it will die each time it grows the wrong way, so eventually it becomes EXACTLY the perfect shape to fit the crack. Does that mean it was "designed" in that complex shape so it would fit the crack?
Of course not!

I could possibly in a "God" who could invent evolution, but I could never believe in one dumb enough to deliberately 'design' worms that infect babies eyes... Do you?

Answer 7

Belief in God (old testament) is anybody's personal matter but scientists have been working hard and in the right direction too.
When going thru a classification of living beings beginning with Bacteria, Protists, fungi, Porifera (sponges) and all ending with mammals, it is possible to see how more and more complex organisms evolved. Through a huge space of time, interspersed with different climatic changes, this large number of living organisms that we see today evolved. Genetic studies have shown that several genes and markers and repeat sequences are common and distributed in the entire plant or animal genomes. We indeed have genes which are also present in plants, fruitflies and also some fish! So there is a relation with grass, snails, monkeys etc........

Answer 8

First off, I do not believe evolution. In fact, I hate it. But I just thought I would let you know that there are answers to those questions.
The first one is simple. No matter what you believe, something has to have been here forever. If you believe creation, it is God. If you believe evolution, it is matter and space. According to evolution, it has always been here, just in different forms.

The second question is one that has proposed answers, but I am not a physics major and so I won't even try to explain them to you because I will butcher them. But know that there are some ideas out there. There is also other ideas that say it can't have happened naturalistically, and I personally agree with that.

The answer to the third question is yes, unless you believe science has proved there is no creator. I personally think it does mean there is a common creator, but you could just as easily argue that it is a common ancestor. After studying classification and stuff like that, I would say there is a lot more to the argument for a common ancestor than I thought. As much as I would like it to be, similarities really shouldn't be used for either side if you ask me, or can just as easily be used for both.

Number four is easy too. Mutations are the mechanism that is supposed to give new information. Now there are some pretty good reasons why mutations can't do it either, but just keep in mind no evolutionist think that it is just natural selection that made things evolve. It is a combination of mutations and natural selection.

Hope that answers your questions.

Answer 9

I was doing my Biology homework on Theories of Evolution (which is sort of a lesson-prep thing) and I saw this question so I'll try to explain what I think from the websurfing and Googling I've been doing for the past few hours.
I think your question is with regards to one of the theories of Evolution and how the world began. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_descent)
This is only a theory that "The broadest form of common descent is universal common descent, which is the theory that all life on Earth originated from one the same common ancestor billions of years ago". There are many other theories relating to Evolution, for example Darwin's Theory of Evolution and Lamarck's Law of Use and Disuse.
Finally, I just want to say that actually, I feel the same way as you. How could it be that everything on earth now evolved form a single individual organism. Who knows, maybe we have the gene for chlorophyll too! (:

Answer 10

a million) in accordance to evolutionists, human beings developed from apes? human beings are apes through definition. Linnaeus categorised us as such and he develop right into a creationist. 2) there are a determination of shown data in technology, yet evolution is only a idea. pretend by way of a false impression of the note idea. A truth, in technology, is a discrete element of thoughts. Theories connect data and clarify them. there is not any better type than idea. 3) A transitional form is a fossil of an animal that is a ingredient one species and section yet another. pretend. All organisms are transitional. 4) The age of the earth is determined through scientists entirely via the radioactive courting of fossils ? The age of the Earth develop into determined through courting a meteor on the concept the picture voltaic equipment develop into all an similar age. All different calculations in good structure the age discovered. 5) The medical technique begins with a prediction and then seems for data to help that prediction? It begins with statement. Then a hypothesis is formed from that statement. After the hypothesis is formed, scientists seem for data to help or falsify the hypothesis. 6) the concept of evolution contains the enormous Bang? pretend. 7) To trust in evolution is to trust that existence and count got here from no longer some thing? pretend.
