how can evolution be true?

Question

if it is,why has it stopped? apes are still born as apes and die as apes. humans are born human and die as humans. if we evolved,why arent we still evolving? you dont see half man half ape walking around because they remain what they are born. explain that

i love atheists'views on things. you probably love mine too. but the fact is, god created us and if evolution was true, apes would still be evolving into humans.we are what we are and wont evolve into anything else. i have read evolution theory books thank you and they like atheism is utter hogwash

wow . theres alot of atheist on here. i love you guys but evolution is a theory. the bible is the oldest book around and the most accurate. atheists' make strong points but god is god and hes the creator. god bless you all

if we can from apes they should extincted... but they are not think about that

hey voren, a nationality moving to another nation is not the same as apes becoming people. the theory of evolution is still just that...a theory

Answer 1

It is surprising that NO missing link has ever been found. Theories about evolution are endorsed by practically every school district in the US, but entire historical periods just blossomed, so to speak from their fossil remains. No, fossil record exists which verifies evolution.
But, my God could use evolution to create the results which he desired.
In the book of Genesis, the writer says that God created the heavens and the earth in 6 days and on the seventh, he rested. Further, the writer explains that to God a single day is as to a thousand years.
Many people attack the Christian believe, saying that Christians believe the world was created in 6 days. Not so. In fact, if a day was as a thousand years, then why couldn't a single day of the thousand years be as a thousand years? I submit that the bible was written for people of a time that to tell them the numbers of millions of years involved would have been unfathomable, but the simple explanation of a thousand years for a day should be simple enough for anyone to understand no matter which millennium they lived in.
Going back to the fossil records, the enormous amount of fossils extant is so large that it is unreasonable to assume that none of the links could have survived.
When you consider the millions of animals, fish, and insects on this planet, surely over the thousand or so years where man has been recording things, that if evolution was really the way of creation, then something should have changed at least a little bit.

Answer 2

Do such ridiculous and flagrantly false arguments actually convince anyone?

"apes are still born as apes and die as apes. humans are born human and die as humans"

No evolutionary theory predicts otherwise!

"you dont see half man half ape walking around because they remain what they are born. "

Evolution works through genetic changes selected by their effects on survival over multiple generations. You're acting like creatures should be changing from species to species in their lifetime, and that's just ridiculous. You don't know what you're talking about! INDIVIDUALS do not evolve. POPULATIONS do. You claim to have read books on the subject, but obviously either they weren't very good ones, or you didn't bother to understand them.

"if we evolved,why arent we still evolving?"

And how do you know we aren't? It's a gradual process, it takes time. Evolution has been observed in real time, but the most dramatic examples are in short-lived species, since they go through generations faster. And there have been humans developing AIDS resistance, sickle-cell anemia appearing in areas where it reduces susceptibility to malaria and diminishing where malaria isn't a problem, and other recent observed instances of evolutionary change in human beings.

You clearly don't know what you're talking about, or you wouldn't be posting PRATTs. I'd recommend you educate yourself, but your ignorance appears to be willful.

Why don't you ask these things in the science section? Afraid the experts will tear apart your flimsy arguments even faster?

And another thing, you said: "the bible is the oldest book around and the most accurate"

1. The Epic Of Gilgamesh is older most, if not ALL of the Bible
2. The Jewish version of the bible is by definition older than the Christian, so are you a Jew? As you seem to be claiming that the older the book is, the more likely it is to be true.
3. The age of a book has nothing to do with the accuracy of the information contained therein.
4. Several specific claims in the bible are provably false (for instance, the claim that the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter is exactly three, or that rabbits chew their cud, or that grasshoppers have four legs, or that the entire world has been flooded up to the top of the highest mountain in the recent past).

And facts just roll off you like water off a duck's back!

you said: "if we can from apes they should extincted... but they are not"

Another common PRATT, one I've already provided a link to address! And expressed so incoherently!

Answer 3

There are a pair of theories in the back of this, yet some thing like limitless regression fairly says "it is so a techniques lower back we don't know and could no longer know." ideally, we don't know what began evolution. yet this could be examined extra heavily between micro and macro evolution. Macro evolution continues to be very rather contested, and many question its validity in the sector of biology. Micro evolution is all approximately adaptaion to stay to tell the tale. Necessity is the mummy of invention...inspite of the indisputable fact that it would seem that lots that's reported in micro evolution is organic risk, no longer necessity. the two way, survival may be a sturdy motivator for adapability. it relatively is sort of of of twisted good judgment, materials are constrained so in a roundabout way a mutation happens which provides one creature an more desirable side over others (micro evolution)...ultimately those mutations will develop into so great that there is an entire new species (macro evolution). yet there seems to choose a driving stress, considering that rely nicely-knownshows its lowest solid point of means, why might it try to compete? what's thecontinual? of direction technological information Fiction does factor out that radiation can mutate lizards into horribly great hearth respiratory beasts.

Answer 4

Oh boy!!!

There is a difference between hearsay and evidence. There is a good reason why in the court of law hearsay is not admitted. What you are doing is hearsay. You say these things can be yet there are plenty of evidence to the contrary. If you where to go to a court or a place that is court like. That is to say a place where you have to show evidence to what you think is going on your views would loose very badly. I mean it wouldn't even be funny. In such a case I would feel sorry for the person defending evolution because he/she would had had to carry to court truck loads of evidence, documents, experiements etc etc just to have the case closed in 5 minutes.

You need to do your own research. Evolution is not a simple concept. Is not black and white as people would like. It is actually evolving no pun intended. Evolution is real. There is no doubt of it, there is overwelming evidence of it and it is has been observe and it is still being observed today. What is still is in question is the exact mechanism which makes it work. I included some links so that you can start your research. One thing that people forget is that in science anybody can take it up and put it to the test. You can do your own research and have access to all previous experiments so that you can revise them for errors. Errors in science happen all the time. The thing is that it is reviewed by many people all the time so a thing that appear to be true today at 9:38pm can be proven false tommorrow morning at 7:58am. Or maybe a couple of years later. It is self correcting. Compare this to some religious claims which are based on opinion or interpretations only. Also, religion has its place. It fullfil an integral part. It is important to many people and it will not go away and it shouldn't go away. However, religion has no place in science. It is not its job. Religion cannot compete in the science field as much as science cannot compete in the religious field becuase they have different goals.

Answer 5

that dog won't bark, mark: evolution has not stopped although it is understandable why you might say that, since you will never bother checking to see if your initial naive observation is true. but DNA replication is imperfect, mutations are inevitable. our most recent common ancestor with modern apes is the one we share with chimpanzees; genetic and fossil evidence indicates that this species lived about 6 million years ago, or 300,000 generations, which is more than enough time for the estimated 35 million single nucleotide changes, 5 million insertion/deletion changes, and various chromosome rearrangements to accumulate in the genome. i think you wouldn't expect to see very much happen in one generation, out of 300,000. i consider this the view of an informed rational person, i don't think that you have to be an atheist to agree.

you assert a number of things that there is no good reason to believe, other than that they are the sole foundation of your "argument":

-apes should evolve into humans: there's no good reason for this to happen, even if we could wait long enough to see it. apes evolved variously into humans, chimpanzees, gorillas, orang-utans and gibbons as they continued to adapt to different changing environments. it is not a case of "all roads lead to rome".

-if apes evolved into humans they would be extinct: why? if americans came from europeans, why are there still europeans? generation of new species often happens due to reproductive isolation of some sort, whether it is geographical, behavioural or genetic. chimpanzees are found on the western side of the great rift valley, humans appeared on the eastern side. one species can generate two or more descendant species. perhaps you think that evolution supposes that humans evolved from modern apes. it doesn't. in evolutionary terms modern apes are our cousins not our ancestors.

Answer 6

Darwins Therory that we evolved from apes is total bupkiss (B.S). Evolution cant be stopped! Its constantly happening with new Bacteria,plants,insects,etc.Everything that is on this planet has come from space and is still coming! From Meteors and what not, that happens to make it to the ground.One has to keep in mind that Organized Religions were put in place to keep the general population scared and on good behavior while emptying ones wallet. Well Man is still evolving in approximatly 2.000 years Men wont have nipples anymore :) That is a true Science fact by the way! :)We mostlikely evolved from Cavemen as our own species! If we evolved from Apes then the apes should be extinct!!Think about it...

Answer 7

Mutations to genes and the evolution of different life forms doesn't happen quickly. It doesn't even happen in what we humans could call slowly. It is a process that can happen over MILLIONS of years. It's not something you're going to be able to detect in humanity's puny time on the earth. Humans have only been around a minuscule amount of time in the cosmic sense. But, genetic mutations do happen. You've probably even seen the product of one. Scottish Fold cats (the ones with the turned down ears) are a result of a very recent genetic mutation. There weren't any like them before, now there are many like them. I think it's great to wonder about things and ask questions. Your final "explain that" detracts so much. Question and wonder and ask, but lose the tude.
Add: Ahhhh, you break my heart. Here I thought you were a naive, and un-educated person asking a sincere question. Some people, after a lot of research, don't accept the theory of evolution. But they base it on some interesting data. You aren't looking at the question intelligently. You've got a fixed opinion and are just looking to air it. Your mind is closed, what's the deal with the mouth?

Answer 8

Can you drink milk? The ability of a human adult to drink and digest milk- lactose tolerance, is considered the most recent evolutionary change we have gone through.

Changing to apes in any way would be a backward move. Also- the individual creature does not evolve while it is alive- of course things are what they are when they are born.

You will never disprove evolution with this sort of example. Try again!

Answer 9

We have still yet to see any evidence of one species becoming another. Variations in the same species doesn't equate to evolution. For all we know at this stage is that those variations are preprogrammed in the DNA as possible variations. Mixing of DNA may make a new type of dog, but it is still a dog. So, even if a complex single cell organism managed to spontaneously form with perfect parts one time or even a thousand times, it wouldn't account for the wonderful variety of life here on Earth.

Answer 10

Evolution has not stopped. It happens slowly. We are apes. We are still evolving. Changes are slow. They start with small mutations and if the organism survives with the mutation then it will continue on.
You don't see half man/half ape because humans and apes(the kind you see at the zoo) can not have children together.

Hope that helps.
