If evolution is the cornerstone of science...

And motorcycle riders. And mountain climbers. And...

Anyone engaging in unnecessary dangerous activities should have their health and accident insurance paid up.

Humans have evolved brains that are capable of influencing evolution.

We breed animals for our purposes, not theirs. We created vaccines and exterminated smallpox cutting off forever its evolutionary development.

thats not evolution,, nd smallpox still exists

thats not evolution,, nd smallpox still exists

That's not natural evolution, but it's definitely human evolution.

Smallpox no longer exists in the wild.

True. Evolution/adaptation requires a population with as much variation as practical, and that includes non-breeders like gays.

if that were true it would be called evolving not breeding,,

so small pox still exists,,

go it

Our evolving, their breeding.

smallpox is no longer naturally evolving. Thanks to human evolution.

youre confusing knowledge with evolution,,

 

[Eman623]

youre confusing knowledge with evolution,,

we got the knowledge to breed animals and exterminate smallpox from the wild through evolving large brains.

for that matter, knowledge evolves not unlike DNA.

getting smarter isnt evolution,, its natural progression,,

if you want to say we have evolved thats fine,, but its not evolution where one kind of animal changes to another or that all life on earth came from pond sludge,,

when you breed dogs hey are still dogs,,

I would argue that we have become dumber with the invention of computers,,

 

[dblack]

...why do scientists spend so much time and money trying to save people who evolution has de-selected.

WTF are you talking about??

good, because that's not the only kind of evolution there is.

when you breed dogs hey are still dogs,,

evolution works by natural selection. breeding works through human selection. The operative word is "selection".

I would argue that we have become dumber with the invention of computers,,

I would say some skills have atrophied while others have been enhanced. I am from the generation that can memorize a phone number after a single repetition. A nice skill, but not as useful as it used to be now that smart phones do that with a single tap.

OTOH, My daughter is from the generation that can touch type 80 words a minute using only her thumbs.

what if humans are not involved when 2 dogs decide to get jiggy with it??

you can believe anything you wish but as we see your case falls apart rather fast when uestioned,,

 

[Eman623]

what if humans are not involved when 2 dogs decide to get jiggy with it??

You tell me.

you can believe anything you wish but as we see your case falls apart rather fast when uestioned,,

it did not, but you can believe anything you want too.

 

[progressive hunter]

You tell me.

it did not, but you can believe anything you want too.

you said humans were the deciding factor when dogs breed tto make it evolution,,

if humans were not involved your claim falls flat,,??

 

[Eman623]

I don't recall using the word "deciding". Did I say we were the only factor?

bless your heart you try so hard,,

they dont need us to breed ,, they do it on their own,,

 

[Eman623]

bless your heart you try so hard,,

says the guy hard at work building a strawman that he can attribute to me before pummeling it with stones.

they dont need us to breed ,, they do it on their own,,

thank you for letting me know this.

Do you have anything more on the topic?

This again?

More trolling from the religionists?

Some of us have more than made up for them non-breeders.
