Evolution is very stupid??

Question

that is not MY VIEW... i just saw this documentary here's a link.
http://www.tv-links.co.uk/link.do/9/5566/8296/53218/76984#

don't worry it's not THAT boring.

what are YOUR views?
take ur time watching. lol...

i said i saw this video while browsing the net randomly and since people here in Y A seems to like debating about things that has something to so with religion vs science, i brought this up. i was just asking what do u think of this guy and what do u think of HIS views?

Answer 1

Some aspects of evolution are apparent and self-evident.

Social evolution for example.

Some adaptive behavior can be evolutionary.

There is, however, no direct proof to establish creatures evolving from creatures.

Who does the first Lion mate with!

Or are you saying evolution works in pairs.

If it works in pairs then we are back to the Adam and Eve concept and all lions come from inbreeding and so do humans.

Or are you saying evolution works in pools of cultures. Are you saying one day 20 Chimp familes simultaniously produced 20 neaderthal children who became a minimally viable gene pool for the creation of millions of non-inbreed neanderthals.

No one has EVER documented this process with video tape.

It is an assumption and so is God. God is also an assumption as no one has documented a talking burning bush.

The burden of PROOF is non-existant.

We have some evidence and we try and prove something with it.

I think the OJ trial and the two Michael Jackson trials proved that some evidence that are used in persuasive arguments to a jury don't return conclusive convictions because an element of doubt exists.

With the smoking gun. Without the eye witness you have problems.

With all your DNA and gloves (fossils) and time lines you have to convince 12 jury members to Execute OJ for a crime for which you have no eye witness, no knife with his finger prints and their blood.

12 Men and women aren't going to send someone to jail forever or the gas chamber on that kind of evidence.

The jury of science has NEVER seen fit to give the title of Laws of Darwinism to the subject.

It is a theory supported by a glove that doesn't always fit, supported by some tainted DNA evidence, supported by a time time.

That is enough to give it the ranking of a theory.

Now, there is of course ZERO evidence to support the God theory. There is some circumstantial evidence to support an Advanced Alien Race theory.

There is pleanty of evidence to support a CREATIONISTIC or CREATIONISM theory, we see it every day with cars, Ipods, TV sets.

Seedless watermellons don't grow naturally on vines.

So we know Creationism is viable, it's the concept of HOW the button got pushed and there is some Circumstantial evidence to vaguely support a race of Aliens (and who is to say that is not God and the Angels) may have come here and started it.

But the evidence for God in the Old Testiment sense doesn't exist.

We have no intact 10 commandment tables to examine.

We have no Noah's ark fragments to examine.

No one has found the ashes of Soddom and Gommorah examine.

Should any of these things be found then you would have some circumstantial evidence to support a God hypothisis.

Answer 2

So evolution is a fact? When did we stop evolving? Oh - we didn't! Then explain why we haven't evolved mechanisms to overcome present-day maladies, i.e. in USA - heart attacks are generally considered the #1 killer. Why haven't any doctors published reports about hearts evolving stronger valves, clog resistent arteries, or extra chambers? With all the medical advances, humans , on average, live only 80 years. Lifespans were much shorter centuries before but they seemed to hit a wall and its a newsworthy item to find someone living to be 110. Why? Haven't we evolved past that or is something else at work. You wanna talk logic and reason, then I'll have to use the "B" word (bible) and prove we were created not "ancestors of monkeys".

Answer 3

Dear Mr. Creationist (or whatever your handlers tell you to call it this week),

Another 30 board-feet of pasting the same arguments does not change the fact that they are still as wrong as when we debunked them all the first time.

You have absolutely zero ability to comprehend what you paste, and as such, when you come across the same argument already shredded here at a later date it appears brand new to you. It is a truly sad state, and you need to grasp that you only highlight your own mental deficiency by persisting with the cut and paste marathon.

Were you able, on even the simplest level, to grasp the concepts involved, you would recognize the repetitive nature of your posts. As it is, you do not even have that elementary comprehension of the topic at hand.

Sadly, this is how creationism works, they rely on the vehement and vociferous response of their most ignorant and uneducated of followers to speak for them. They pot up the article, fully knowing the lies, distortions, and misleading nature of them and wait for people like you to cry them from the mountaintops.

We know the creationist movement to be dishonest to it's core, because the articles they produce requires a pretty decent knowledge of astronomy, cosmology, geology, anthropology, and a variety of other sciences... yet it is deliberately twisted and distorted in to outright lies. And this is not the type of misunderstanding that comes from a bad grasp of the topic, it required in-depth lies and trickery to produce.

So climb that mountain again, Rainman, and tell us again how wrong we are.

Answer 4

Evolution is a fact. It was noticed as a fact in the mid 18th century if not before. There are tens of thousands of scientific papers which add additional facts to the original observations, either directly or indirectly. There are tens of thousands of scientific papers which support the theory of evolution more or less as as it now stands, either directly or indirectly.

Creationism is a myth. There is not a single fact that it can call its own. It is recognised as a myth not only by atheists but by the larger Christian churches on the planet.

In recent years there has been quite a lot of well founded anxiety about sexual and physical abuse of children. Exposing children to the sophisticated (and I mean that in all its connotations) codswallop of creationism is intellectual abuse.

You can be sure that creationism, creation science and intelligent design are "an orchestrated litany of lies".

Answer 5

Evolution is a subject for biology. It has nothing whatever to do with astronomy or space, but for some reason people keep asking these kinds of questions of astronomers. Astronomers are NOT qualified to talk about evolution just like biologists are not qualified to talk about the orbit of Mars.

Answer 6

I tried the link, but couldn't get via the screen-savers.
How can evolution be stupid if it is a creation of nature. Some species have to adopt or die-out. Due to evolution we find a source of every day's discovery which is full of wonders.
Can you imagine if humans did not go through all the evolutions, we would still live in trees swinging from branch to branch or we would still be living in caves with our arms touching the ground.

Answer 7

Generally, the creationists' perception of evolution is stupid. If you made the effort to understand it they'd come to realise that it isn't stupid and it makes a huge amount of sense.

Additionally, evolution theory provides a lot of the ground work for modern biology. Without that we'd be a bit behind in fields such as DNA reseach and general medicinal studies. Is that what you consider to be stupid?

Answer 8

You are contributing NOTHING cerebral to this section with your childish opinion poll question. "What do you think?"

Evolution is fascinating. It's not exactly related to Astronomy and Space, but what should I be expecting from you? You are stupid. "What do you think?"

So many of your questions on other topics ask for other people's "views". You are just a simple-brained gossip-monger. You throw religion up against science to try to stir up crap. You don't care for intellect. That would be out of your league.

"What are your views, eh?"

Answer 9

Evolution has brought life on earth from the beginning to what we have now.
It can be stupid. [maybe]
The dinosaurs evolved to the point that they were unable to adapt to the changes brought on by the Yucatan meteor strike,but then again cockroaches came through with flying colors.
I guess it's not that dumb,after all!

Answer 10

Evolution is not stupid but it's stupid how so many people believe something just because they learned that in school if you believe every thing you hear then you will be poor.
I don't believe in evolution , because if we come from monkeys why are there still monkeys?
