Final question, then I'll let your little brains rest?

Question

If you observe evolution in bacteria, do your conclusions automatically apply to humans?

(Yes, I actually did read the PNAS source given, and it was inadequate in scope.)

Answer 1

Not automatically, there is a lot of study and observation of the fossil record first. Nothing in science works like that. In science, you must gather evidence before drawing conclusions.

Answer 2

Bactirial evolution is a way of seeing evolution in action, and provides the fact that living beings do evolve. It provides the possibility that this could happen in more complicated beings.

Science's ideas of HUMAN evolution are based on the evidence in the fossil record. We have bones and skulls of ape-like creatures that are 5 million years old, ape w/ slight human features that are 4 million years old, half hape, half human that are 3 million years old...and so on. If anyone has a better theory and MORE EVIDENCE to support it, please present it.

However, anybody who feels like challenging evolution needs to take an anthropology class first so they can understand what they're challenging.

Answer 3

Funny, you don't want to believe the evidence about evolution, but are willing to accept a grossly inadequate model of mind based on neurobiology. My mind, aspects of which may or may not correspond with my brain, is answering these questions. But the neurobiology model has less evidence supporting it than Evolutionary Science, and several pieces of evidence that suggest brain and mind are not one to one correlations. How is your belief in an inferior paradigm (neuro-mind correspondence), and disbelief in Evolution remotely consistent, especially when they are based on the same level of observation?

Answer 4

Yes because evolution has been observed in many other living things as well. We are no different from any other living thing and therefore it would be the height of arrogance and stupidity to assume that we are any different with respect to evolution.

I hope that YOUR "little brain" can cope with the answer but if you need it simplified just let me know and I'll draw you some pretty pictures to help

Answer 5

Yes our brains are little, thats why our physical brain cannot carry the whole Truth.

If the bacterias evolved into Human, where did that Bacteriacame from! Assuming a stone evolved into bacteria, where did the stone came from?....... and so on!

Yes our brains are little, thats why our physical brain cannot carry the whole Truth. The Truth is spirit, and The Spirit came to Flesh. That's why we, physical beings, have Hope.

Answer 6

Humans are a part of evolution and what makes us different from the lower evolving life forms is that we are evolving to become Gods. This is how our God became a God. So, is this a possible missing link between religion, atheists, and evolutionists?

Answer 7

If animals are so close to humans, why isn't testing a new drug on Monkeys or Rat sufficient.

Why are HUMANS next to get the test.

Obviously it's because they fear HuMANS might interact different with the drug.

Observing ONE form of BACTERIUM evolve doen't give you much of a leg to stand on with another form of bacterium.

Especially if RANDOMENESS really occurs.

Answer 8

You mean do the genetic mutations that happen in bacteria, fruit flies, insects etc apply to larger organisms?

Yes. It's the same process. From single cells to trillions of cells, it's the same process.

Answer 9

If they adapt and evolve it shows a mechanism exists in nature which causes species to change in order to survive changes in their environment and yes that biological mechanism must apply to all species including humans.

Answer 10

no, but it would give me a hint that I should investigate evolution in species.

but the evolution of humans proves evolution of humans anyhow, I'm just glad you do believe in evolution, even if it is still on your own small minded scale.
