Beyond the fact of existance of proof, evolution is still logically sound?

Question

what i mean is, Instead of an animal think just in its dna, you have several similar dnas but one suffers a mutation because a gamma ray, now you have lots of similar ones and one different, suppose the different is worst than the original, the different dies, but if the different is better, the different makes more copies of itself, and mixes with the ones who were similar, eventually all population have that new mutation, that is because the ones without the mutation die quicklier, and have less offspring, and the offspring mate with the ones with the ones of the new mutation anyway, now repeat the process ad nauseam.

"There is proof for evolution-speciation has been observed in insects."
That's no the point, the point is to make creationists admit that even without proof(of which there is plenty) evolution is still logically sound and feasible.

Ever heard of fractal patterns?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractal

Show me all your transitional fossils
Are you stupid? theres no such a thing as transitional fossils, evolution is a continuous process, people is the one who says, here it stops being a reptile and starts being a bird. there's no such a thing as a reptibird.

If a population is divided and the gene flow stopped, eventually the two population will be unable to mate, therefore the arise of a new species.

Jeez this is highschool stuff.

Answer 1

You make a good point.

All of the evidence points to evolution having taken place. One can only argue against the evidence by lying or relying on the ignorance of the audience. Proponents of ID have attacked the logical foundation of evolutionary theory saying that we are too complex to have evolved.

Yet, when you look at the biological mechanisms of gene replication and take into consideration the huge amount of time that life has been around it is logic that tells you that evolution MUST occur.

Answer 2

Satire of creationism is pointless, because it's own claims are so loopy as to be all the satire that could be. Evolution is a Fact and a Theory by Laurence Moran When non-biologists talk about biological evolution they often confuse two different aspects of the definition. On the one hand there is the question of whether or not modern organisms have evolved from older ancestral organisms or whether modern species are continuing to change over time. On the other hand there are questions about the mechanism of the observed changes... how did evolution occur? Biologists consider the existence of biological evolution to be a fact. It can be demonstrated today and the historical evidence for its occurrence in the past is overwhelming. However, biologists readily admit that they are less certain of the exact mechanism of evolution; there are several theories of the mechanism of evolution. Well evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape-like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered. -Stephen J. Gould, " Evolution as Fact and Theory"; Discover, May 1981 Let me try to make crystal clear what is established beyond reasonable doubt, and what needs further study, about evolution. Evolution as a process that has always gone on in the history of the earth can be doubted only by those who are ignorant of the evidence or are resistant to evidence, owing to emotional blocks or to plain bigotry. By contrast, the mechanisms that bring evolution about certainly need study and clarification. There are no alternatives to evolution as history that can withstand critical examination. Yet we are constantly learning new and important facts about evolutionary mechanisms. -Theodosius Dobzhansky "Nothing in Biology Makes Sense Except in the Light of Evolution", American Biology Teacher vol. 35 (March 1973) reprinted in Evolution versus Creationism, J. Peter Zetterberg ed., ORYX Press, Phoenix AZ 1983

Answer 3

One critical aspect of understanding evolution is to try and comprehend the amount of time the process has been taking place. The human brain cannot wrap itself around a number like a million even, so 3.5 billion is right out.

It is helpful to consider the amount of variation that can be seen in the breeds of dogs. They range in size from chihuahua to great dane with many unique body types. All of this was done by humans, selectively breeding them over just the past few centuries. Instead of natural selection, it was simply "selection".

Realize, the genes that were ultimately passed on were not necessarily the ones that made the breed more fit. Many breeds have inherent health problems, such as the chihuahua, which has a lifespan of only a few years due to its slight frame and high metabolism. The only genes that were allowed to perpetuate were ones that were manifested in the physical traits that people found aesthetically pleasing.

As for understanding how we, as humans, arrived at this modern world, I've always loved the book "Guns, Germs, and Steel", by Jared Diamond. It contains a brilliant, scholarly, peer-reviewed description of the rise of civilization, on through the sweep of history. The great thing is that, technically, none of us are his "peers", but we can review it ourselves if we'd like!

Answer 4

Evolution is nothing more than just adjustments to the spieces caused by outside influences.

But until a spieces is created there is no spieces hence there can be no evolution to that spieces.

Evolution is an action, a process, a verb. Spieces is a noun or pronoun or thing.

Unless, of course, you have a video of a mouse coming out of the pouch of a Kangaroo instead of a kangaroo. If so, we want to see that video, along with the one of the bear swimming in the water that magically turns into a whale.

Show us the video.

Give us the Truman show.

Without postive proof there is only speculation.

Answer 5

Bird descended from a dinosaur, not a reptile. Reptiles are cold-blooded, and dinosaurs were warm-blooded. They found a fossil of a dinosaur sitting on a clutch of eggs. Not much point in trying to incubate eggs if you're not warm-blooded.

The best-known transitional form for a "bird-dinosaur" was the archaeopteryx.

Answer 6

There is proof for evolution-speciation has been observed in insects. Laymen don't need to get bogged down in complex biological concepts they can't grasp- they only need to be aware that evolution of species is a fact that has been observed occurring, albeit only in laboratories.


Edit- I think you are making an issue out of nothing. Personally I don't see it as being necessary to convince them of the logic of something that actually happens. It could be completely illogical and unbelievable- it still indisputably occurs.

Answer 7

Somethings can be thought of being logically sound but yet still wrong. Look back at people thought logically sound that the world was flat. People also thought Logically sound that the earth was the center of the solar system. My point is that when the facts or lack of facts the logically sound agreement does not work

Answer 8

OK, from your statement you are comparson of all creatures in the world,
equally life share. The appearances show unequally and actually it is fair. We are(all creatures) going to the willing future. The creatures do not know what they wanted.
For examples; We want money, we do our utmost to gain money and loose our life, our relatives, friends. Our money cannot buy back our happiness, times, relationship, friendship. Then we find out to did wrong.
Is it funny to gain the whole world without happiness? Actually the world will not belong to you, even your life.

Answer 9

The only Western nation that sees evolution as a source of controversy is America.
We in Europe enjoy smugly laughing at this creationism nonsense.

Answer 10

Evolution is a very logical theory.
