No One Needs Traditional Fossils To Prove Evolution Because We Have Living Proof

Another living examples of evolution other than humans are elephants of which we have elephants which have evolved into the largest land animals on the planet in Africa where as we have a much smaller version of elephant which evolved into what we call pygmy elephants in Borneo.

They are both elephants but because they had evolved in different environments, one variation of elephant has "evolved" much larger than the other quite obviously.

Asians, Indians, Africans and Caucasians as example are proof of different variations of human evolution.

The evolved variation of human known as Asians for example (aside from identical twins or triplets etc.) all look different from one another as individuals but as a whole have quite obviously evolved as humans quite differently than Indians, Africans an Caucasians. Same goes for the Indians, Africans and Caucasians. Same goes for the Indians, Africans and Caucasians. No matter how much the religious continue to exemplify deliberate ignorance towards the fact that humans have evolved into different racial variations of human, we have differently evolved variations of human living presently as proof of evolution. It is a fact which proves that the religious attempting to dictate that we need fossils to prove what living proof already reveals is quite obviously a weak pathetic cheap stereotypical religious lie because they are not able to contest with so much as a shred of validity that we have living proof of evolution.

Piece of cake and my pleasure.

It Was Never Religion Vs. Science, Fact Falsifies Religion / Proves Evolution



The religious fooled themselves and perhaps others in thinking that it ever was religion vs. science, they even created a religion to force ore rhetoric upon society called Scientology of which the facts I share prove that the big bang theory is not even a possibility as the beginning of the universe. Proof that the universe and everything throughout the universe always existed, and always will exist is that not anything goes poof into existence out of nothingness and not anything that exists goes poof into nothingness which proves an endless duration of constant change because the fact remains that it takes energy matter and time to re create energy and matter. The universe never was and will never be exactly as we recognize it now for again it undergoes and infinite of constant change. Scientology is a fine example that the religious attempt to make everything that threatens religion out to be a religion by even referring to the non religious as religious by claiming that them not believing religious lies makes them religious.

Science is the process that determines recognition of fact. Once it is a fact, it is no longer a science because for example the formula for recognizing the fact has been complete = no longer a science but a recognized fact. Through the process of science, humans at one time didn't have computers or nuclear power for example. Through the process of science, it has become recognized as fact that we have computers and nuclear power where at one time it was likely laughed at or frowned upon just like harnessing electricity.

It was never religion vs. science that matters, because what falsifies religion is fact, and yes the very fact that it takes energy matter and time to re create energy and matter is the very factual evidence which proves that the foundation of every religion is based upon lies (the foundation of a religion is the ridiculous story of how we / everything came into existence) and for some religions it is the factually proven lie that they refer to as god.

The reason that the religious can't do with fact as they did with science is because science is a process based upon belief which are referred to as such as theories, synopsis, hypothesis etc. what have you.

Facts are what falsify theories and beliefs etc. Not the other way around. Religions are based upon beliefs that are falsified by fact. The destruction of religion is inevitable no matter how much ignorance the selfish and the greedy who quite obviously value filthy religious lies more than they value human life exemplify religions only cheap pathetic defence which is ignorance towards what facts has already so very easily revealed and the facts in this instance have revealed that there is no such thing as a god, that the foundation of every religion is based upon lies and that the big bang theory as proof of our universes origin are all proven false / have been falsified by fact and it is my pleasure to have done this with the greatest of ease.

Which is why I (A Primary Factual Fundamentalist who has proven that the foundation of every religion is based upon lies, that there is no such thing a a god and that the big bang theory as proof of our universes origin is not even a possibility of which I am by far not an atheist of which who merely believes that the foundation of religion is based upon lies) keep throwing the following facts which prove that the foundation of every religion is based upon lies, that there is no such thing as a god and that the big bang theory as the beginning of the universe is not even a possibility in their face of which not one of them will ever be able to contest with so much as a shred of validity:

Many religious for example are those who claim that this lie that they refer to as god is the creator of everything. They also claim that it has intelligence hence they pray to / worship this lie. Yet the fact remains that not anything goes poof into existence out of nothingness. Not anything can develop and intelligence out of nothingness let alone make anything go poof into existence out of nothingness because the fact remains that it takes energy matter an time to re create energy and matter. Otherwise just share even just one factual example of anything going poof into existence out of nothingness. You / no one ever will share one factual example of anything going poof into existence out of nothingness which proves that even the most remote possibility of there be a god does not exist! Not anything that exists goes poof into nothingness and not anything goes poof into existence out of nothingness because the fact remains that it takes energy matter and time to re create energy and matter. Everything always was, is and always will be enduring an endless duration of constant change and the simple factual evidence which proves it is the fact that it takes energy matter and time to re create energy and matter.

Of which proves evolution and evolution only happens where life occurs. A life forms ability to adapt in order to survive along with striving to increase awareness of life's environment to better assure survival and quality of life given the circumstances of the environment the life has to work with. To spread out and grow in population no matter the species unless until it's adaptation becomes obsolete within the changing or change of environment thus no longer successful thus dies off in many cases. The purpose of life is to survive and expand in awareness of ones environment which leads to adaptation thus evolution. Just look at how many different variations of human being we have, of which are all different in reflection of the environments which differ that each type of human have evolved in including, elevation, food sources, the land scape, dangers present etc.

It is also my pleasure to remind everyone why the destruction of religion is of the up most importance for the well being of the future of the life on this planet:

Religion is the largest hate crime against humanity that ever existed!

Thousands of years of war and divide leading to the death of millions if not billions of people over factually proven foundations of religious lies along with the factual evidence that proves that the foundation of every religion is based upon lies is the most genuine reason to rid the world of religion for the well being of the future of the life on this planet. The factual evidence proving that the foundation of every religion is based upon lies is quite simply as follows. First the foundation of a religion is some ridiculous story about how we / everything came to be. If it is not based upon some ridiculous story of how we / everything came to be then it is not a religion. I notice that the religious in days of now attempt to call everything a religion in attempt to fail safe their lies buried in a manifest of yet more lies and deceptions by attempting to try and drag everyone else / everything else down to the level of their religion in attempt to use to give a false sense of justification for following any religion.

If you are religious and you want to exemplify that you value life more than you value already "factually proven" foundations of religious lies, then simply throw your religion in the garbage where every religion belongs and walk away from religion for good.

Join me in the good fight for the well being and sanity of current and future generations, for the well being of the future of the life on this planet!

'Drug-resistant strains.'

Case closed.

Bwaaa ha ha ha ha after all of your desperate attempts to try and make what is into what you would rather it be over here,

It Was Never Religion Vs. Science, Fact Falsifies Religion / Proves Evolution | Page 2 | US Message Board - Political Discussion Forum

Now you have had time to think about it and realize how correct I am and even share some sort of example of your own which shows some progress. Good for you Delta4, it shows that there is hope for you yet but thanks for finally showing some supportive statement towards what fact reveals for a change.

But you still have a long way to go on other issues.

you're using evolution in the place of adaptation.

It's a common error among the more hateful and ignorant of humans.

Primary natural adaptation to ensure survival is proof of evolution.

You appear to come off as some ignorant insane obsessive compulsive lying deceiving discriminating homosexual activist disgruntled mentality. Desperately scrambling to make what is into what our delusional mentality would rather it be I see and I suspect in some way to support your bias agenda of which if you are a homosexual activist is based upon factually proven foundations of lies deceptions and false claims of discrimination while crying wolf with such lies as hater bigot homophobe to anyone who validity contest the lot of you all the while also supporting homosexuals discriminating heterosexuals right to be heterosexual aka tranny trans gender transsexual (homosexuals who refuse to accept themselves for what they are which leads to suspecting heterosexuals being robbed of the right to be heterosexual by some homosexual and their filthy deceptions.) Hey you want to trade shots, you like every other homsoexual activist on the planet doesn't stand a chance vs me on the intellectual front.

evolution is one animal giving birth to another kind of animal, which has never occurred and will never.

you can still cross bread those elephants. why? B/c they are just different sizes.


Evolution would be an elephant giving birth to a different animal that can survive in the new climate.

but hey, do this for me.

After the TK event that finished off the dinos, that only mammals left were rodents that lived under ground.

How did rodents evolve into the largest mammal as well as humans?

hint; they didn't

Bwaaa ha ha ha ha. Evolution for life such as the life we recognise on this planet for example is the developmental stages of life throughout generations from the first spark of life of a single cell which begins the chain of ever changing bloodlines in reflection of gathering information from the environment and adapting in order to survive. Evolution only occurs where life happens. Again, not anything goes poof into existence out of nothingness, develops an intelligence out of nothingness because for anything to become alive it first takes takes energy matter and time to re create energy and matter under suitable circumstances to initiate the beginnings of life and sustain life coming into existence in reflection of the environment and evolve to develop over time such things as an intellect, tolerances and even immunities as well evolve to consume different things depending upon what food sources are or are not available from environment to environment. Otherwise you you go right ahead share even just one factual example of anything going poof into existence out of nothing?!! You never will.

Look at the many types of frogs of which are all frogs but developed in different ways to ensure their survival in reflection of their environment. Some frogs but not all can freeze, thaw then live on. Others can naturally change sex when there is only one sex available in their environment, but they are all still frogs.

Look at the many different types of lizards, they vary from environment to environment but are all still lizards.

look at the many variations of ants around the globe, but they are all still ants just that they evolved differently as ants like lizards and frogs spread out throughout different environments over many generations evolving much differently in order to survive within their environments.

Thanks for the laugh though in lieu of your misunderstanding, and I sincerely hope you learned something here.

I am verifying theory with fact, a pioneer. Of which once a theory is verified, it is no longer a theory but a recognized fact of which it was always a fact just never previously recognized as such to be proven with fact until recently and my pleasure / piece of cake.

Facts are not agreed upon, they are not believed, they are either recognized or ignored.

Facts are what falsify or verify belief, theory etc. in case you didn't know.

It is my pleasure to share the very factual evidence which proves evolution and the primary foundation that proves it beyond all of the small talk like elephants, ants, lizards, humans frogs etc. is the fact that it takes energy matter and time to re create energy and matter for anything to first come into existence or develop an intelligence etc.

No, all thumbs, you would do well to look up what theory means in the context of science. And never has any biologist stated that evolution is one animal giving birth to another species of animal. Stating that simply proves the depths of your ignorance concerning evolutionary theory.

Another Evidence of Evolution.
Just part of an Overwhelming body of such.
Life can traced to a continuum, with many creatures, including us, having anatomical vestiges of our evolutionary ancestors.
An immaculate 'creation' event wouldn't leave useless organs/etc.

29+ Evidences for Macroevolution: Part 2
Douglas Theobald, Ph.D.
Prediction 2.1: Anatomical vestiges

Some of the most renowned Evidence for evolution are the various nonfunctional or rudimentary vestigial characters, both anatomical and molecular, that are found throughout biology. A vestige is defined, independently of evolutionary theory, as a reduced and rudimentary structure compared to the same complex structure in other organisms. Vestigial characters, if functional, perform relatively simple, minor, or inessential functions using structures that were clearly designed for other complex purposes. Though many vestigial organs have no function, complete non-functionality is not a requirement for vestigiality...
[.......]
Geoffroy was at a loss for why exactly nature "always leaves vestiges of an organ", yet he could not deny his empirical observations. Ten years later, Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1744-1829) identified several vestigial structures in his Zoological Philosophy
[.......]...these "Hypocritical" structures profess something that they do Not do—they clearly appear designed for a certain function which they do Not perform. However, Common Descent provides a scientific explanation for these peculiar structures.Existing species have different structures and perform different functions. If all living organisms descended from a common ancestor, then both functions and structures necessarily have been gained and lost in each lineage during macroevolutionary history. Therefore, from Common Descent and the constraint of gradualism, we predict that many organisms should retain vestigial structures as structural remnants of lost functions. Note that the exact evolutionary mechanism which created a vestigial structure is irrelevant as long as the mechanism is a gradual one.

Confirmation:
There are Many examples of rudimentary and Nonfunctional vestigial characters carried by organisms, and these can very often be explained in terms of evolutionary histories. For example, from independent phylogenetic evidence, snakes are known to be the descendants of four-legged reptiles. Most Pythons (which are legless snakes) carry Vestigial Pelvises hidden beneath their skin.. The Vestigial pelvis in Pythons is Not attached to vertebrae (as is the normal case in most vertebrates), and it simply floats in the abdominal cavity. Some lizards carry rudimentary, Vestigial Legs underneath their skin, undetectable from the outside...
Many cave dwelling animals, such as the fish Astyanax mexicanus (the Mexican tetra) and the salamander species Typhlotriton spelaeus and Proteus anguinus, are blind yet have rudimentary, Vestigial eyes....
[.......]
The ancestors of Humans are known to have been herbivorous, and molar teeth are required for chewing and grinding plant material.Over 90% of all adult humans develop third molars (otherwise known as Wisdom Teeth).
Usually these teeth never erupt from the gums, and in one Third of all individuals they are Malformed and Impacted (Notes).These Useless teeth can cause significant pain, increased risk for injury, and may result in illness and even death[footnotes]

Another Vestige of our herbivorous ancestry is the vermiform appendix.
While this intestinal structure may retain a function of some sort, perhaps in the development of the immune system, it is a rudimentary version of the much larger caecum that is essential for digestion of plants in other mammals..."

Yet another human Vestigial structure is the coccyx,
the four fused caudal vertebrae found at the base of the spine, exactly where most mammals and many other primates have external Tails protruding from the back. Humans and other apes are some of the only vertebrates that lack an external tail as an adult. The coccyx is a developmental Remnant of the embryonic tail that forms in humans and then is degraded and eaten by our immune system ... Our internal tail is Unnecessary for sitting, walking, and elimination (all of which are functions attributed to the coccyx by many anti-evolutionists). The caudal vertebrae of the coccyx can cause extreme and unnecessary chronic pain in some unfortunate people, a condition called coccydynia. The entire coccyx can be surgically removed without any ill effects (besides surgical complications)...
