i don't see much evolution happening, do you?

Question

i have been around long enough, but failed to see any evolution. (except some of my white papers becoming yellowish and my house getting bit old).

so evolution takes millions of years?. But we are only 6 billion people. If you take a 2 to 3 (or even 5%) population growth rate and calculate backward, it appears that humans have only been here for some few thousand years.

whihc is wrong: the math or the evolution THEORY?

well, i'm thinking, you know, sort of saying to me-self, "if we have been around for millions of years, we would have been far more than 6 billions", perhaps some 50 trillion?????.

well, one might also question as to why it would take millions of years for an ape to turn into a human, not too time efficient, is it??? millions of years???? way too long, man, way too long :-)

Answer 1

The thing I find most disturbing about evolution is the FACT it is a THEORY. If it were factual, then it would be a LAW. At best, evolution is a hypothesis. So, the theory of evolution is wrong. Many people believe the earth to be only 6000 years old. How reliable is carbon dating anyway? How can they claim the earth is billions of years old? Why don't we see evolution occur now? People who believe in evolution need to answer those questions in a scientific manner and establish the LAW of evolution. Until then, they are wrong.

Answer 2

You're assuming that population growth is a constant, which its not.

Also, what about plagues and other major causes of mass deaths?

In addition, using that constant rate gives us a population that is inconsistent with history. If we say that the flood occurred in 2350 B.C., then "in 1446 B.C.E., when Moses was said to be leading 600,000 men (plus women and children) on the Exodus, this model of population growth gives 726 people in the world. In 481 B.C.E., Xerxes gathered an army of 2,641,000 (according to Herodotus) when the world population, according to the model, was 89,425. Even allowing for exaggerated numbers, the population model makes no sense."

P.S. 50 Trillion people? The earth can't even support that number of people. Natural population control would keep the numbers lower than even a trillion, let alone 50.

Answer 3

Obviously you have no knowledge of evolution, or of the workings of natural selection. Population growth has been checked by numerous factors, such as disease, weather and living conditions (famine, etc) and the interference of both other species and ourselves. In fact, the population only started shooting up at about the start of the industrial revolution, due to technology allowing for the coexistance of many people within a single area.

Answer 4

the math is wrong. You can't assume there has only been a 2 or 3 or 5% growth rate in human population forever. Human population growth follows an exponential growth curve, meaning the growth rate increases dramatically as the population increases.

Answer 5

Humans have not been around billions of years, they've been around about about 50 (60?) thousand years. You could be 310 and still not have been old enough to fully witness evolution.

Answer 6

EVERYTHING! If you want to see evolution one good first step is to look at the discovery channel. It is happening all around you if you just didn't refuse to see the obvious. Take the caves that are so deep (There is one in Mexico and one in South America) that almost zero amount of light ever reaches the bottom. At the bottom there are streams with fish and craw fish that have eye sockets in their skulls but no eyes. The lack of light made the eyes useless and unnecessary so evolution done away with them.

Answer 7

On your extrapolation the entire population of the earth at the time of the building of the pyramids was a few hundred.

The fallacy is assuming a constant birth and death rates, which are of course absurd in any study of population changes.

Answer 8

One other thing to add to that. If you follow the curve that is in the population growth and go backwards you will see it lands at the time of Noah and there is only 5 to 10 people left in the numbers. Hmmm I wonder why that is. Is the math right and the bible, I think so.

Answer 9

it is the math that is wrong and your idea of evolution theory.

One house getting old, or one white paper getting yellow is not due to evolution. Evolution is not about one specific member of a group but about the group itself.

Answer 10

Humans have evolved, since whenever we started.
Modern humans - tomorrow the ones you see walking around town, have no need for the appendix nor their wisdom teeth. Their tonsils are next to go possibly. As are toenails.
We just do not dig holes or scratch with our feet anymore, ya know.
Our brain size has leveled off, as we now have tools to assist in our memory. Thus no one has built a better mouse trap - because we stopped eating mouse, and now have more tools to store and prepare our food.
But of course GOD knows as GOD gifted humans with free will. So we are free to choose either path, GOD will provide evidence to make us happy, because it's not important.
Both paths lead to GOD, because both paths have same guidelines, morals. No killing, no stealing, etc. So either path you go to GOD.
All Paths lead to GOD - regardless of the formality of ritual - then GOD rewards or punishes as WE DESERVE, WE EARN PUNISHMENT OR REWARDING.
