do you honestly think you understand evolution?

Question

evolution has no aim. it is not making things "better". we are not "more evolved" than other animals.


please understand this.

"i dont think you understand evolution"

well...as a genticist, i would love to hear your explanation as to why this is so.
good luck

ill take that as a no then.

"Where did you get a degree?

No one ever claimed it made "things" better. It is the species that becomes better, more in tuned shall we say. We are stronger, healthier, smarter our life spans are longer and more. 'Things' get better through evolution, It's a consistent refinement of itself....."

my degree is from Univesity College London, not that it matters. you are very mistaken, our brains are larger than other animals, but that does not makes us better. gorillas are stronger than us, but that does not make us better. in fact, humans used to be much stronger (physically), but for whatever reasons, intelligence became more advantageous for survival, and now we are weaker.


NOTHING gets "better". all that happens is things become more adapted to their particular environment and circumcstances at that very particular time. the fitness of alleles can increase or decreases depending on a multitude of constantly changing factors. change is not linear.

Answer 1

i dont think you understand evolution

geneticist huh, yeah right, then you would know that there is an aim toward evolution, you would know enough that you wouldn't be asking a question on here about evolution, you are fake

Answer 2

Where did you get a degree?

No one ever claimed it made "things" better. It is the species that becomes better, more in tuned shall we say. We are stronger, healthier, smarter our life spans are longer and more. 'Things' get better through evolution, It's a consistent refinement of itself.

You do not have to a degree in anything to understand that idea. It is simple, very clear and uncomplicated..

Please Understand.........

Answer 3

I agree, to believe that evolution makes thing better, or more evolved implies that their is a specific goal, and end point where we are perfected at a genetic level.
Evolution has no predetermined path, we have no way of knowing what form humans and other species will take in another several million years.

Answer 4

Yes I understand evolution.

And yes, evolution has no aim, it does not make things "better" and we are not "more evolved" than other animals.

None of those expresions has any meaning within the theory of evolution as they are all interpretations of value imposed on it by a biased observer.

Answer 5

Well, I don't think I fully understand all the ins and outs of evolution, but from what you say in your quest-ion(s) it appears you probably don't either - let's face it there are loopholes and blank spots in the theory. I reserve the full discovery of what evolution really is, what its aims are and where it will end up for the future time when mankind finally discovers all the missing facts and links asscociated with the theory and can honestly say "it is finished we have all the facts now".

Answer 6

I understand what they say,I would like proof.they say the hobbit grew small due to the environment,yet giants lived with them.Send some Hugh people and animals to a tiny island,and show me they get small.

Answer 7

I understand the basic concept of evolution, but I do not understand some of the processes involved. It is a very interesting and complicated subject when you get to the nuts and bolts of it.

Answer 8

I don't believe that you are a "geneticist." Prove it...where did you go to school and tell me something about genetics that is not generally known but can be corroborated by scientific literature...

Answer 9

I agree with tex and gwhiz.God created this world prove evolution.

Answer 10

That's pretty much true, evolution is not a sentient force and has no agenda or criteria other than survival.
