Evolution Explained
by David A. Rizwan
Evolution. Most people have heard of it, but not too many believe that it is possible. However, most people that see it as false do not understand it. I will try to clarify the blurry points in the Modern Evolutionary Theory. Simply put, Evolution is the process through which animals change over time. However, this seems to sum the story up a little too much. Most people that do not believe in Evolution do not fully understand it. Those people believe that the theory says that humans came from monkeys. This is not true. Those people believe that if an animal evolves, there is no prerequisite to the present animal alive. This is not true either.

The Theory of Evolution simply explains how life changes over time. This isn’t a few weeks, years, or even centuries. In most cases, this takes millions of years to be complete. The whole evolution process begins with a mutation. A mutation is any animal that is different from the norm. For instance, an albino garter snake is a mutation. A lucistic alligator is a mutation. Anything that is not normal in a living creature’s DNA is a mutation. It is obvious that some mutations would be more beneficial than others. This is where “Survival of the Fittest” comes into play. For instance, a longer bill on a nectar-feeding bird is beneficial, as it allows the bird to gather nectar much easier. Other mutations, such as an albino snake in a dark green jungle, are actually malicious. It is obvious that this snake will not be able to camouflage from predators while it is still young, making it an easy meal. The snake will never survive to the age to reproduce. The animals that are best matched to their environment will survive more, thus reproduce more.

There are sometimes periods in which the environment changes, such as the Ice Age. During the period of time, most of the world became icy and snow covered. The animals with a gene to have longer hair would usually die of heat exhaustion in the previous era. But now their hair is able to keep heat in their body, allowing them to survive better than the non-haired ones. The without hair began to die out, leaving only the ones with hair. The species had just evolved. As the environment changes, those that are fit to the new environment survive and reproduce, those that aren’t, die off.

Sometimes animals are separated from other animals of their species, such as the Galapagos Islands. These animals have a closed gene pool away from the other animals, and they also live in a different terrain type. This means that two samples of a species can evolve differently. One sample of a bird species may develop a longer bill to allow for easier food gathering, while the other sample develops a shorter bill for more control over the bill, and the final sample of the bird species may remain unchanged. Eventually through these changes and others, the two birds will eventually be so different that they can no longer reproduce. Another new species now exists.

Many believe that there is no evidence to support evolution. On the contrary, there is much more evidence than the other theories for how life came to be. When you compare two cats taxonomically, they are the same species. They can reproduce and produce fertile young. This means that all of the cat species are the same, Felis Domesticus. How did all of these come to be? Selective breeding is the key. Selective breeding is basically forced evolution upon a species. When people saw the first Siamese cat, they decided to make more. By breeding them with another cat, there is a chance to produce more of that mutation. More evidence to prove the existence evolution is homologous structures. These are structures that are made of the same thing, but fill different tasks. If you examine the skeletal structure of a whale flipper, it has the same bones as a human hand. There are many other situations such as this.

In conclusion, Evolution is a rather simple topic if you put time into fully understanding it. To evolve, all a species needs is a beneficial mutation and the death of the original version of the species. When an isolated species evolves away from the original population, it will form a new species. Since the original version is still alive, the species hasn’t evolved, but a new species has formed.

God doesn't have a birthday because he is the Supreme Being, you cant imagine him as a living person.

Also, He was never born and is always been there.

There's no point in trying to comprehending this. It just is!

The general belief is that god was born on Christmas day, or December 25. This cannot be proven, however, and it was put on that day to coincide with Saturnalia and more easily convert the pagans by keeping some of their symbols, such as the Christmas tree.

Well, it was closer to 13.7 Billion years ago than to 6,000 years ago.

I am a confused Orangutan: Let me get this straight from the Bible pounders:

God doesn't have a beginning.
God doesn't have a home planet.
God created everything, including the space he occupied while he was creating everything.
God doesn't have any parents, or grandparents.
God doesn't have a wife.
Now someone just told you that "God is not a living person"

And, then these same folks say We were created in the image of God. -- Does that mean we are like God? we have no beginning, no home planet, no parents, no grandparents, and that we are now "not living persons"?

To me, God's birthday is sort of reversed. I celebrate the day I let him into my heart... when I started believing there is a 'Higher Power'.

Why don't we ask Randall from Time Bandits . . . he knows the supreme being, he stole the map from him!

Uh, how is it that there is 'god' and 'the son of god' but both are continually referred to as 'god'? Is this a case of having your cake and eating it too? Jesus is not god, he claimed to be the son of god, so all the bright answers about a Christmas birthday . . .

Never. He has always existed; therefore He could not have a birthday.
