Evolution and science?

Question

SoOo... have we ever found any animal fossils remains... that where "transitions" from one animal to another? I mean Science does say that Amphibians "Micoevolved" to become reptiles, but nothing ever dug out the ground has supported the theory of evolution. Darwin only notices different color birds not birds forming to another type of animal. Does it seem logical that 10 plus billion years of accidental, random atomic collisions resulted in the formation of some simple form of life? Many of you bash the bibles accounts for creation and ask us to "prove" it, but why is no one ever been able to prove evolution?

Answer 1

The laws of science and nature are man made laws, God defies those laws.

Evolution is a theory and can not be proved.

Answer 2

There are many transitional fossils. All the evidence supports evolution. The fossil record is only a small part of the evidence. But all the fossils do support evolution.

And evolution is fact. Gene pools change over time. That is the fact of evolution. The theory of evolution states that this phenomenon is the cause of all the species. And until you can find a mechanism that scientifically shows that gene pools can't have those changes add up to new species, evolution will continue to be the only theory of the origin of the species.

Answer 3

We have not only seen it -- we have seen it with humans.

Look up "Delta-32"

It is only found in cultures where men were exposed to the Plague. It turns out that those who do not have this mutation tended to die. Those with one copy of the gene got sick -- and recovered. Those with two copies of the gene were immune. Because so many people without the gene died out -- human populations in areas where the plague hit developed a significantly larger number of people who are resistant to the plague. Natural Selection kept the gene alive (the mutation does appear in other cultures -- but dies out within a few generations).

Here is the kicker -- people with two copies of this gene are immune to AIDs.

There are other cases. Most humans become lactose intolerant once they reach puberty. Cultures in Northern Europe (where they have harsh winters) and some nomadic herding tribes in the African deserts independently became lactose tolerant. Why? Because those who developed the mutation that allowed them to process milk became able to survive the harsh winters or the African droughts. Again -- by natural selection, the gene mutation worked its way into the population -- giving men an added tool.

Evolution is consistent with everything we know about biology -- EVERYTHING. Creationism, on the other hand, is completely inconsistent with the facts.

As for your questions about transitions -- all the evidence is there. When fossils are found -- more evolved animals are always closer to the top. As they dig deeper, the find less evolved animals. Everything they find is consistent with evolution.

So don't talk to me about it just being a theory.

"have we ever found any animal fossils remains... that where "transitions" from one animal to another?"

Yes. Many:

"Does it seem logical that 10 plus billion years of accidental, random atomic collisions resulted in the formation of some simple form of life?"

No, but since evolution (actually abiogenesis) does not say that, one would wonder why you're even asking it.

See this for answers about abiogenesis:

If you are sincere, let me know if you have any questions on this.

Answer 5

Fossils are only created when the animal is burried in a short period of time, such as landslides and floods. Otherwise they just rot on the ground. We are lucky we have any at all, but their value as to how we became only amplifies the theory of creation by evolution, as intelligence and evolution are both a result of trial and error. The theory of evolution plus radio/astonomic science leads back in time to the Singularity that gave birth to all life. In the future scientist will discover that life always existed even through the big bang of our creator giving birth to Herself evolving into the form of us. Many microbes are known to thrive in extreme environments.
Masculine does not create new life, only assist. The Y chromosome came from the X. that's why females have XX. otherwise it would be the other way around, YY and YX. Men have nipples because men came from women, othewise only women would have nipples and men wouldn't have the feminine prepuce. Cutting it off is hiding the truth.
Neuro scientists discover neonatal traumatic shock to the reproductive organs plus nerve damage can short curcuit normal brain chemistry after puberty leading to paranoid delusional schizophrenia with audio and visual halucinations and suicide bombing tendancies as a form of subconscious revenge, and erectile dysfunction when the "Gee string " aka the prepucial frenular delta nerves, is severed. Namely circumcision. Giving rise to the prophets, poor tortured souls. That's why Jesus came, to replace the ritual blood sacrifice of the flesh of pleasure (prepuce) to control male sexuality(eugenics), with a cleansing ritual called baptism(natural). It was and is a heavy burden to be circumcised as an infant. Then the Jewish Pharisees paid the Romans to crucify Him for blasphemy to the covenent of Abraham (circumcision induced schizophrenic).
The natural laws and laws of physics which man cannot change, are more than enough signs and symbols of our creators pre existance. Perspiculating into the future of evolution, a supreme being must evolve if it is correct. Perspiculating into the future of astrology, the Singularity reforms and the whole process of creation by evolution begins all over again. And here we are.
Apearantly, not only are there microbes living on us, but we are living on the face of a growing living macro organism that eats meteorites and drinks solar plasma sweated from a star thats life force opperates at extremely high metabolism that lives in a galixy surrounded by an energy membrain, that eats other galixies until only the biggest and smartest survives. I think It will be feminine because the masculine would be atracted to Her and give his life to save her from extinction. Worshiping male gods always leads to the end of the world as we know it(extinction).

Answer 6

"Random atomic collusions?"

Even at the pre-biotic level, the interactions of matter and energy are not simply "random", as if they were like shaking up a can of different colored marbles. The formation of things like snowflakes and rock layers and planets aren't necessarily a "random" jumbly-jo of matter mixed willy-nilly, and if you don't have *that* down I don't think you can speak on behave of how living matter works.

Perhaps you think evolution goes against "common sense", in addition to other things, but revolutionary scientific ideas are practically defined by their defying common sense notions about how we think the universe *should* work.

If common sense could get us a fix on reality, we wouldn't have learned so many fantastic things through science.

Answer 7

My head hurts.

the amphibian IS a step in the evolutionary process... between fish and reptile. no, a salmon doesn't give birth to a frog that gives birth to a salamander, but they change GRADUALLY over GENERATIONS.

Go ask this on the science board. They'll either teach you something or beat you with fossilized skinks, but either would be fine by me.

Answer 8

Yes, those fossils have been found, many of them and I've seen a number myself in museums. They exist and are real

And ONE fossil is more proof than religion has ever provided

Perhaps you should go to a natural history museum sometime

Evolution is being proved every day, get used to it

Answer 9

The fossils are out there go to any museum but first read a biology textbook dealing with homologous structures, vestigial organs, and comparative developmental embryology.

Answer 10

Why do you insists in arguing that the earth is flat? Do you know how absurd you sound to the rest of us?

Read a non-fiction book sometime and learn to think for yourself.

Answer 11

Yes. Here:

There have been plenty of them, even in the media. You have just not been paying attention. Seriously, trying to assert that there are no transitional fossils or nothing to support evolution is just ignorant and ridiculous.
