Who wants proof of evolution?

Question

Straight off the Yahoo press.

What does everyone think?

Answer 1

That's not really proof, it's more of a theory for the future, but there is plenty of supporting evidence for evolution for anyone willing to do a little research.

Answer 2

Although the article does clearly interpret the data with an evolutionary bent, it doesn't necessarily contradict a Biblical account either. Interpreting the same data using a Biblical worldview would look something like this...

The genetic differences seem to become greater and greater the farther we get away from the original man. The first men, having a more complete genetic makeup, had the genetic information for all of the possibilities we see today and therefore produced a more general offspring. Similarly, the original dog would have contained the genetic makeup which has produced all of the breeds we see today. Just as it is unlikely that a German Shepherd will produce a Dachshund, it is also unlikely that black child will be born to someone of Scandinavian descent. These specific variations and regional microevolutions become more and more clear the longer a people live in a specific region and develop a smaller and smaller gene pool.

I happen to believe the Biblical explanation but I'm not going to look down on someone just because they don't interpret the data in the same way. I am rational enough to realize that much of my belief comes from faith in God just like much of other people's beliefs come from faith in something else.

Answer 3

Once again that may be proof of evolution, but how does that disprove creation. I can not tell you for sure what is God's time and what methods he used to create the universe. If you are so learned on the theory of evolution, could you please do something to "bridge the gap" between the early primates the neanderthals and humans. This is a subject that is much debated in the scientific community. With all the wonders of modern science and DNA testing and such they have not quite been able to figure this out. I am always willing to listen and learn. I am left to believe that since there still are chimps, apes and gorillas around , then we could not have possibly evolved from them. If we did then science teaches us we would no longer have them. Doesn't science teach that over time as something evolves the original disappears?

Answer 4

Here's some proof of G_d. Scientist say if Earth's air was 1 trillionth off we would all die including everything that is living right now. I don't think any one but G_d could make our air that perfect and evolution wouldn't even have a chance if the air wasn't the way it is.

Answer 5

How does that article prove evolution?? It does show that humans are adaptable, of course we could wait several thousand years and see what new species develops from the Human Species.

Answer 6

I could prove to you evolution is there, but not in the fashion most assume. I would share... but few can grasp it or accept it. Even though I can document it and it even fits your link.

Do humans evolve... yes. But not over time and generations like we think, but during cycles. Now your homework is... realize what the cycle is. We are about to enter a new one soon.

Answer 7

The article is ridiculous. It presents no evidence for its claims, but instead proves that there is not universal agreement among evolutionists.

Answer 8

Take THAT theism! You got "effed" in the "ay".

Any news article that promotes evolution on the Associated Press further weakens theistic claims. I love it.

Answer 9

That isn't proof of evolution. It is just something that can only be explained if you accept evolution. One could still not accept evolution, and also think that this article was created by Satan.

Answer 10

"Science fiction writers have suggested a future Earth populated by a blend of all races into a common human form."
