Why Evolution is a Fairytale for Grown-Ups

[toobfreak]

This is a great example of evolution, because the outcome and it's reason are completely disconnected. Nature uses whatever works.

I agree on all of that about the validity of natural selection, but I also see a conscious mind at work here; it is an innate, natural self-defense system that the human organism both developed and supports to aid life.

Lactose tolerance, or the ability to digest lactose in adulthood, is most common among people of Northern European descent.

lmao

I keep telling you clowns, it's all about the engineering.

Mice grow bigger brains when given this stretch of human DNA

Finding adds to the bigger picture of how humans developed such large brains.

So, back when humans evolved from chimps someone took a snippet of dna and spliced it into the early human's brain to make it larger. Where did the snippet come from and who did the surgery?

It is possible. The best alternative model we have is the "attractor", and since those occur in thousands of dimensions they're kind of hard to calculate and visualize.

Complex life emerged on Earth 591 million years ago, scientists think they finally know how and why

591 million years ago, Earth's magnetic field was so weak it almost disappeared. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, complex life emerged.

Meet mosura fentoni.

Extinct for 500.million years.

Here's the fossil:

Mosura is a radiodont. It has 3 eyes and 16 segments with gills in back.

It's about the size of your index finger.

The first specimen was discovered in the early 1900's by Charles Walcott. Walcott was the director of the US Geological Survey and administrator of the Smithsonian.

You get to walk slowly through this scientists discussions where his aim is to prove evolution is an adult fairy tale.

Be careful since he just may persuade you that evolution as taught is an adult fairy tale.

I hate to break it to you, but evolution is no longer classified as a "theory." Most biologists and even the Catholic church recognizes evolution as "fact." Not all of the mechanisms involved in the process is entirely understood.
The evolution of the horse is a good example of evolution over the eons.
A female didn't spring from a man's rib. That's your fairytale. An all-powerful, all-knowing, all-seeing, deity whipping all things together and watching everything you say or do is your other fairytale.

Evolution definitely occurs. No question. But it has some large holes. Cannot explain, for example, how infinitely diverse species came out of single-celled creatures. Nature doesn't work like that. It cannot explain the origin of life. It cannot begin to explain the Cambrian Explosion. Transitional species for which we have no evidence? Has mankind ever noted evolution itself...one species evolving into another? I don't think so.

It's a nice teaching tool, but the people who are most convinced that it is a "fact" are those with the least scientific bona fides. Witness this very thread. Leftists with degrees in Ethnic Studies preaching about how Evolution is a certainty.

Nonsense.
It happens all the time, with self replicating proteins.
Then you will have slight mutations over time, so complexity can increase, even though it only seems like a contradiction to entropy.
We have observed all the step of abiogenesis, and proven it in labs.
There is absolutely no question about it.

Wrong.
Evolution is slow, but has been observed, mostly with short lived animals.
And in fact, all breeding programs, like for domesticate animals, are proof of evolution.
All evolution requires is for the inbred species to no longer be able to interbreed with the original species any more, and we have observed that millions of times.
And in fact it is obvious that evolution is constant with all species.

In fact, to doubt evolution at all is blatantly insane, since clearly through all the different phases of life on the planet, they are all incredibly different. There is almost no life that did not significantly evolve, with about the only exception being the sea sponge.

As for the Cambrian explosion, the most likely explanation is that we simply do not notice the remains of earlier periods, and trilobites are very hard to miss.

 

[Rigby5]

So you're promoting that there is an intelligent design as true!!! I tend to agree.
Nobody can return to the beginning and know for a fact. If you think God did not do it, try this out. Life forms don't exist. Or try this out. Earth has a known number of elements. The elements decided to create life. And we know it because life is created as new forms every day of the year. What is your choice?

Life is constantly being created.
The birth of any organism is life created out of inanimate chemicals.

 

[Rigby5]

The proof of evolution is obvious.
There are canines that no longer can breed with other dogs.
Some extinct dog breeds include the Alpine Mastiff, Bullenbeisser, and German Bulldog.
While dogs and wolves interbreed and their progeny is viable and fertile, certain breeds like Cuon, Lupulella, and Lycaon cannot breed with each other or with Canis.

Extinction is evolution too.

Did God create mosura?

If so, why did He let it go extinct?

There are many animals, insects, etc. that have gone extinct.

Man/woman disobeyed God and sin entered the world. Because of that the world is imperfect now just as man is.

Death entered this world because of what Man chose, not because of God.

So you're responsible for extinction?

Doggone it, you couldn't leave well enough alone?

That’s not chemicals combining randomly!

My new book, Life's origin, edited by Professor Schops has a forward. So far the book alleges, no scientist has yet explained the origin of life.
