for those of u who believe in evolution how come we stopped evolving?

Question

evolution or creationism?

Answer 1

Even if we had stopped evolving, that doesnt mean evolution doesn't exist. Personally, I don't think humans have a need to evolve physically any more. We have essentially overcome the need to evolve with technology. If we are hindered in any way, we create something that does it for us, whereas before technology, we would have eventually evolved and adapted to overcome this adversity.

Answer 2

stopped evolving? why do you say that? Because we haven't sprouted wings? Honestly that's one of the silliest questions I think I've ever heard. Everyday the human race evolves. We even have names for the evolutions. Ever hear of the stone age? How about the industrial age, or the age of information? New technologies are our evolution. They may not be appendages growing from our bottoms, or gills from our necks but it is evolution, whether you want to believe it or not. Otherwise, Ben Franklin would have been able to build a computer... Oh and we would be able to run cars on pure air right now and create things by rearranging molecules of other elements to create something that wasn't there before and travel great distances (like millions of light years) in seconds. Our minds evolve now, as they always have through each generation making our quality and quantity of life better. Those that believe that the earth was only created 3000 years ago... Well, there are tangible facts/evidence to the contrary, so get real... Denying evidence is denying wisdom - intelligence gained through information. Denying wisdom is against God's teaching(it's in the bible) so, that's not even a real argument...

Answer 3

First, one does not "believe in" evolution. It is not a religion. One accepts the mountains of evidence for evolution, or perversely rejects it. Second, we have not stopped evolving. Evolution occurs at a very slow pace, taking many generations for significant changes to be noticed. Check back in 100,000 years or so, and you'll see changes in humanity and other species.

Answer 4

Alright, for one, all the answers about people becoming taller over the years being a part of evolution is WRONG. Getting taller has nothing to do it with it. People today just have better ways of getting nutrition now, which makes them able to reach their full height. 500 years ago, people didn't have a food pyramid or the means to get all the right vitamins and minerals and what not, but today, they do. it makes a big difference. if people 500 years ago did have all that nutrition and knowledge of what we are supposed to eat, then they would be just as tall as humans today. Evolution takes a long long time. Humans have not been around that long compared to the 4.5 billion years the earth has been here. Just give it time. We will change, but probably not anywhere near this lifetime.

Answer 5

Were still evolving? Height doesn't mean anything. Not all of us are over 6'. If the world and everything in it was evolving than why not other things like dogs or cats. So your evolution people are telling me if my Labrador was born a thousand years from now it would be 7' standing tall? What the hell is that the Sandlot dog? Why doesn't evolution not apply for animals? As far as for features we all look and walk the same as the people did thousands of years ago. My grandpa looks like the painting of Moses. Nothing different back then and in the future.

Answer 6

You haven't noticed we are getting taller?

Each Generation is adapting a little bit to our new environment, and eventually the changes will be obvious.

Besides, just because the Bible doesn't say it, could we have been created through Evolution? Who would have understood that 4,000 years ago.

If you want to leave Science behind, you will have to leave it ALL behind, meaning you should not be using a computer or Internet, lights, cars, etc. Even the most primitive people use science, and the preponderance of the evidence says science is often right, or on the right track.

Someone said in another post that all logic is the tool of the Devil, oh well!

Answer 7

Evolution takes a long, long time.

Think about it. Children are being born without appendixes. This proves we're still evolving. Why? The appendix is a useless organ. We once had a use for it and now that we have adapted another lifestyle, we don't NEED it anymore.


Evolution takes time. It doesn't happen over a few hundred years.

Answer 8

I'm working on it. I'd like to evolve to have some kind of superpower. Or maybe I could grow some retractable angel wings like in the movie Dogma. Tell you what, I'll try to evolve a pair and you pray about it and we'll see which one works first

Answer 9

"Idleness" and "Pumpkyn" are completely suitable, even with the thumbs-down. there is no such concept as "greater progressed" or "greater progressed" in evolutionary biology. human beings will proceed to adapt on a community scale as numerous epidemic or pandemic ailments take their toll, yet different than adjustments interior the frequencies of alleles that confer risk-free practices from ailment, human beings will proceed to be an identical. present day transportation has made the finished worldwide human inhabitants right into a single gene pool, so any evolutionary trend that would initiate is as we communicate swamped out. i'm constantly surprised whilst lay human beings will stack their evaluations on those technical concerns against those of a professional biologist.

Answer 10

Who says we've stopped evolving? After World War Two for example, the average height of Dutch people increased due to introduction of genes from the US, and because of a change in diet with the introduction of foreign foods. Asian physiologies are changing in response to western foods. That's evolution.

In general though, observable human evolution has slowed because we effectively control our environment. Since evolution is, amongst other things, response to environmental change, human populations no longer have as much "need" to evolve as populations of other anumals.
