Do you believe in evolution?

Question

According to evolve theory- the world sprays out mutants and the process of natural selection keeps the best suited.

But everything goes in cycles- heats up--cools down--lots of vegatation--lots of land. These are long cycles--over thousands of years the earth heats up..solar radiation increases... but the selection process is done in the short span of a man's lifetime-- say--30 years.

How does nature know how to select the right specie in a 20 year period that will be the best selection a hundred thousand years later?

Reversability says the fluctuations over a man's lifespan are vastly greater than the gradient of nature's progress. So hairless men die on a very cold day but the survivors die on very hot days-- that's reversability--there's is no arrow of evolution to point the way to natural selection

Face it- many young blacks die from a bullet-what are the odds nature intends to evolve black males into an armor-plated thing to survive bullets?

You people need to read the Bible. Science doesn't now everything

Answer 1

I've always been in a doubt.
i don't think we evolved from monkeys! but i believe each specie changes over a million years and i believe that our brains evolved since the beginning of human existence

did you copy and paste the information? :D

Answer 2

I'm guessing that you haven't done much serious research into evolution.
Take animals as examples of evolution - in Australia we have a problem with rabbits as a pest. Years ago scientists developed a drug which would humanely kill the animals so that they would stop destroying farmland and ruining the farmers crops. That drug is no longer viable to use against rabbits as they have built up a resistance to it - so the strongest survived while the weaker died off, making them stronger animals.

As for your scenario of Black people getting shot - 1st its extremely racist, 2nd its not something that is an evolutionary trait, its not a reason for natural selection where the fittest survive. Its a man-made problem if they are shot and killed, not an issue derised from nature.

A lot of your scenarios that you put down aren't well thought through and have point with this argument. The people who survive today are built for survival in the coming years, not for 100,000 years time, cause by then more evolution would have taken place and man-kind would have changed more.

Science knows more than the bible, and at least there is evidence to back it up.

Answer 3

Yes, I believe in evolution. We have plenty of scientific evidence to support that theory. Nature doesn't "select" anything. The weak die off and the strong survive by doing what they can to adapt to changing attitudes, physical environs and intellectual pursuits.

Answer 4

"How does nature know how to select the right specie in a 20 year period that will be the best selection a hundred thousand years later?"

What makes you think that what you're talking about here has anything to do with evolution?

Yet another strawman argument against evolution. If you people really had something, you wouldn't keep posting this BS.

Answer 5

I do believe in evolution, but not that it happened by chance. The chances of a single bacterium arising from basic chemicals by random forces are 1 in 10 to the one-hundred billionth power. It is actually more likely for you to win the lottery every week for the next 80 years. Honestly can chance alone account for the complexity of the Earth. If the Earth rotated any slower, then day-night differences in temperatures would be too great. If it rotated any faster, then wind velocities would be too great. In individual atoms, the ratio of the gravitational force constant to the electromagnetic force constant cannot differ from it's value any more than one part in 10 to the 40th power without eliminating the possibility of life. This Earth seems to be made perfectly for human life. It actually takes more faith to believe that the Earth happened by accident than that the same thing happened, but it was directed by God.

Answer 6

"the selection process is done in the short span of a man's lifetime-- say--30 years." Said You.

I'm afraid you have a distorted picture of natural selection. It takes thousands of years to take effect changes in both environment and in morphology. That's why rapid environmental changes can wipe out species that are poorly adapted and don't have enough generations to change.

Answer 7

Not again. You're assigning nature an intelligence. But nature is not intelligent in itself. Nature is not a god. It doesn't "know" anything. Things evolve into available niches of life.

Go back to school. Then, when you've gotten past the "intelligence" factor, come back and we'll talk.

Answer 8

You obviously don't understand natural selection. Read a book.

Answer 9

I don't believe in physical evolution, i don't believe we are mutants, that spawned single cells.
Although I do believe we are far greater and more special , we are here with a purpose, a goal, maybe we have strayed but i believe we will find our way , i do however believe in spiritual evolution per say: I believe we grow and change spiritually as we gain , love , tolerance, knowledge and Wisdom about one another.

Answer 10

sure, It is a very well established scientific theory, just as good as the theory of gravity. Evolution has been tested numberous times and undergone rigurous tests to prove its validity. God bless.
