Questions For Evolutionists.

[Robert W]

All of them, as far as I know. The topic of evolution is taught in middle school.

My books on this subject are university grade books.
Students need to first master abiogenesis then move forward to changes. When I was in the 7th grade, any science taught in the 7th grade was pretty primitive.

You make this mistake a lot, thinking that evolution theory says organisms "need" to evolve in a certain direction. It's not a mistake that anyone in biology makes.

There is no "need". There's random mutation shaped by natural selection, sometimes leading to a path that's more successful at staying alive and reproducing.

Cyanobacteria grows everywhere now ... 2.8 billion years after it emerged ... it works great, it doesn't have to change ...

Photosynthesis is cooler than sliced bread ...

The high school I went to tapped the local Mormon church for our sex education instructor ... the Bible had to be prominently displayed in Biology class if evolution was to be taught ...

... and the kids had to keep their guns in their lockers during the school day ... NO HUNTING out the south windows during class ...

Dr. Schopf of UCLA speaks in his book about when Cyanobacteria originated. His research says it was in the ocean waters of Australia.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't say that.

Bzzzzt. Totally wrong.

Mutation is random. Natural selection is not.

That's where almost every creationist faceplants hard. Evolution is not random.

What’s natural selection? It sounds like someone or something has an investment in the outcome….does not sound random

What’s natural selection?

This has been answered. I have personally answered this question for you before, even in other threads.

What is doing the selecting — why??

 

[Robert W]

I'm pretty sure it doesn't say that.

Whut? You know Professor Schopf?

That was already answered, too. In this thread. Directly to you. The laws of physics, basically.

You said his research said it. Not him. But I don't have to know him or his research to know neither of them said that.

I’m trying to make a point that there is an organization to the Universe— it’s not random

You aren't making any progress in that endeavor, in interrogating other people.

You actually have to make a case, at some point.

Saying, "It feels that way to me!" isn't going to cut it.

No modern explanation can adequately detail why a bird that could previously fly lost the ability to fly when flying would be more advantageous than wattling or swimming away from predators.

Scientists uncover history of ‘ridiculously charming’ penguins

According to a new study, a group of birds related to albatrosses shrunk their wings and developed a whole suite of features that turned them into a water-loving species more than 60 million years ago.

Then why do you keep insisting she's random ... the universe is moving towards completely random ... why she needs to be expanding ... but today she is quite orderly, clockwork in fact ... the random universe is still millions of trillions of years from now ... you're calling a newborn baby ancient and wise ...

Ah ... you want purpose where there is none ... sounds like a personal problem ... your life is completely useless other than making babies, that's all you're good for, nothing else ... oh, you'll make fine worm food after we bury your dead body ... be glad we don't eat you when you're too old and frail to defend yourself ...

If you can't forgive yourself, how can you ever forgive me? ...

LOL. Thanks for the joke.

LOL. Thanks for the joke.

But you didn't read and don't understand the article.

Apparently "the joke" was assuming you would engage in honest discussion.
