ok to all who believe in evolution.. you believe that creatures evolve, then how come we are not seeing any?

Question

creature in the middle of evolving.. that is just one way to prove evolution WRONG.

Answer 1

Evolution applies to populations, not individuals. No part of evolutionary theory claims that an individual will suddenly turn into a different species. Speciation takes thousands of generations and environmental pressures to occur.


Just another example of someone who never bothered studying evolution ignorantly attacking it. Honestly, did you really think you had some unique idea that had eluded the scientific community for 150 years?

Anyone who disagrees with evolution and wishes to prove it wrong should start by studying it.


And by the way, we've observed evolution among species that have short life spans. We've also forced plants and animals to evolve artificially.

Answer 2

But we do, all creatures are in the middle of evolving right now, you just can't see the big changes because you don't live half a million years to see the changes. Mutations are occurring all the time. The beneficial ones are there, they just haven't had ten thousand years to stabilize and give an advantage to a species as a whole. species are diverging right now, but you need at least 100,000 years for the different populations to become genetically isolated enough to make cross breeding impossible. Lions and Tigers are two different species of Great Cat, but the can still mate and produce young.

The natural world demonstrates that evolution is the best explanation for the diversity of life on Earth.

You have proved nothing.

Answer 3

Humans are in a constant state of evolution, mostly mentally. Look at how we adapted to our environment and went from small tribal hunter-gatherers to the multi-million countries today. Neither air or space travel would be possible without this.

Why do you think different cultures appear differently? Because when we were more isolated, we evolved certain traits to better survive the surroundings we were in. We also used to be a lot shorter. 5 foot was the normal height in the middle ages, now most guys are well at the 6 foot mark and it's only increasing.

Now that we have travel available to us, there is a lot more mixing of cultures. In just a few hundred years, we might not even have "Chinese/Blacks/Whites/Hispanics" etc, because everybody's DNA will me mixed.

What about the fact that our pinkies and small toes used to be almost the exact size of our other fingers? They're getting shorter and shorter, because they're not necessary to our survival.

Answer 4

There is no "in the middle" of evolving. All gene pools change over time. Humans are getting taller. Flu viruses change to be resistant to vaccines. This is all evolution. There has never been a species that doesn't change genetically over time. So really, all creatures are in the middle of evolving.

Answer 5

Please study evolution before you bash it, or believe that science should reflect our biological understanding prior to the 19th century, which was dismal in comparison to today.

Every living thing has DNA, which is an pretty much an evolutionary road map showing species' relation to others. Things evolve one gene at a time, and you won't see a fish become a biped within a single generation - try millions of years, one change at a time.

Every living thing has evolutionary baggage. We see whales with pelvic bones suited for walking but that have no function, humans have wisdom teeth and residual tail bones that no longer have any use, there are tons of things if you actually look at the evidence.

Please don't hold back science. Each time religion lies about the evidence for evolution, it makes religion look more immoral and deceptive by comparison. Why should I take any of their opinions seriously if they are so adamant about lying for their own agendas and driving up scientific ignorance?

Live in the twenty first century, kid. Ask this in the science section. Get an informed opinion, not propaganda.

Answer 6

Creatures evolving like you suggest is Pokemon. Populations evolve, not individuals. If the population is not identical from one generation to the next, it has evolved. This is true for every living thing, now. Evolution mean gradual change. Open your eyes to the subtle changes.

Answer 7

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 8

Define the middle of evolving. You act like evolution is a destination and there are certain checkpoints along the way.

That is not how it works. Life is constantly adapting to its surroundings. Humans are still evolving. All life on the planet is still evolving. Bacteria are evolving. One reason why we have anti-biotic resistant bacteria.

Answer 9

We have seen creatures evolve. Try reading books about evolution and there are hundreds and hundreds of proven relics, bones and fossils showing how 'creatures' evolved through the ages.

Your ignorance is just proof that you don't know what you are talking about and that you are WRONG.

Answer 10

I guess you forgot to actually look this up. Where do you think the evolutionary charts come from? It isn't like they took man and just started drawing pictures of us looking more ape-like. There are bones and fossils of unique humanoid species.
Evolution is a fact. The "theory" part of why and how it happens. Scientists have observed evolution happen in labs and can reproduce it in simple species that reproduce quickly.
