[QUOTE="xboxdudeman800"]Chance and randomness is part of evolutionLJS9502_basic

No, no,no.....evolution is a step forward...there should be no chance and randomness involved. It occurs for a reason.

Evolution is spontaneous. No reason involved.
Give me an example of macro evolution. Obviously I'm a moron. So what proof is there? I have literally thousands of proofs for creationism.(Radio Halos, Jabal Al-Lawz, Earth's Magnetic Field, Helium content, Expansion of space fabric...ect.)How about cells? A living cell is so awesomely complex that its interdependent components stagger the imagination and defy evolutionary explanations. A minimal cell contains over 60,000 proteins of 100 different configurations.16 The chance of this assemblage occurring by chance is 1 in 10 4,478,296 .17 maheo30
I love how you flip-flop between evolution and macro-evolution.

True, but mutations play a part in evolution, and they are random.

If they are random they have just as good a chance of killing the animal.

Correct, most mutations ARE bad.  Thats why evolution is such a slow process.  Mutations are few and far between, especially the good ones.

In fact, they have a higher chance of being non-beneficial, which reduces the chances of that mutation being passed on to the offspring, i.e. natural selection

I thought I'd post just one of the many creatures that prove evolution.

The texas cave salamander lives in pitch black caves in water with little oxygen so after thousands of years it lost its eyes, it's skin turned white and its gills went on the outside so it can beathe well with such low oxygen. Now if evolution wasn't real why the hell would it have no eyes?

darklord888
God knew it wouldn't need eyes, so he made it without any eyes.  It's not that hard.



Oooh ok so it just has a spot for eyes there for the fun of it?

Ok explain these. Wisdom teeth, appendix, tonsils, body hair and all the other (now)unless parts on a human?

How is a wisdom tooth more useless than any other tooth.

There is no real notion of progress in evolutionary theory, just increased suitability to an environment

Mutations are not quite the same.

I know mutations aren't evolution.  But the new genes that arise from mutations are  often what makes room for progress of a species.

More useless? Teeth aren't useless. :?

Anyway they rot rapidly and don't fit in the jaw properly because our jaw has evolved out of needing 3 sets of molers, we only need 2 now.

No....evolution is another way for adaptation.  There is a reason why things evolve.  Otherwise, there would be no evolution needed.

Well things like intellect are not necessarily beneficial in an evolutionary sense; I guess it depends on your notion of progress. I thought you were saying like progress *toward* something, and there really isn't anything like that in evolutionary theory. Sorry if I misunderstood your intent.

no when species gets a mutation to make them survive better then they reproduce more effeciently and have more of the same species with the mutation

It happens to a few and then they breed and breed and so on and so forth...thus the whole species eventually has the new genes or whatever it may be that the originals evolved. It doesnt have to be on a large scale to spread thoughout the species.

Im not quite sure about that one.  I dont think so.  Like I said, its a slow but steady process of the shifting of gene ratios. Altough, for macroevolution to occur you do need either A) large scale mutation or B) Geographic isolation,

Yes, but why do you use the christian god as an example? That's what I don't get, you're either Atheist or believe in the christian god. Why not just, "Some powerful dude I don't know about"? That's like someone saying, that there's not only aliens in Pluto, but they where gloves!

The salamander arguement actually just proved my point. Evolution is a religion. You've shown me variations within kinds. Pointing to micro to prove macro. It is still a freakin salamander. And the Galapagos island arguemenmt? That's a loss of info not a gain. You mean to tell me they kept losing info until they got it right? LOL. That is religion not science.

[QUOTE="CptJSparrow"] Evolution is spontaneous. No reason involvedLJS9502_basic

No....evolution is another way for adaptation. There is a reason why things evolve. Otherwise, there would be no evolution needed.

It doesn't occur for a reason. Some variation isn't beneficial and that specimen and its offspring eventually are out-competed and ultimately are removed from the gene pool, as it were. Other variations prove to be beneficial to the environment and result in that specimen having the upper hand in surviving and propagating its genes.

In other words, a polar bear's genes won't notice that the ice is melting and think to themselves "Oh, I need to make the next generation fit for life without glaciers." Eventually (if the bears don't die out before then), and we're talking about eventually, there may be a mutation that allows them to indeed survive, but it doesn't happen deliberately.

Uhh, no, they gained genes through mutations and adaptions seperately based on their needs pertaining to their enviroment.  Over time, they became so different from each other that they couldnt inter-breed.

If you dont plan on using any logic or intelligence, then please see yourself out of the topic...

I have literally thousands of proofs for creationism.(Radio Halos, Jabal Al-Lawz, Earth's Magnetic Field, Helium content, Expansion of space fabric...ect.)How about cells?

Helium content - whats amazing...?

Earth's Magnetic Field - isnt that becouse of spining metals inside the earth

the others i havnt heard of dont know. a living cell dint just appear.....the earth is VERY old giving lots of time for that to happen.

"16 The chance of this assemblage occurring by chance is 1 in 10 4,478,296 .17" - what! thats not how evolution works buddy lol....then a fly could mutate into a lion.....evolution is small changes.lol and u said u under-stud evolution.

OK, let's step back to my original point. Are you claiming God left hidden proof of His existence, rather than just spelling out in fire in the sky "Hi, this is God and I'm totally real"? If so, He seems like quite the prankster.

Thats probably because it is no longer a debate....Evolution is generally excepted throughout the world as a fact, evolution isnt the beleif we evolved from monkeys, it is a theory, like gravity and why the earth rotates.

thats why the genes are spread very slow.  The diffuse very thinly among a huge population, which is why it takes time.  Also, they ones with the favorable genes will breed more because they have a better chance of living.

I must admit that he isn't making this debate any easier for me.

Thats probably because it is no longer a debate....Evolution is generally excepted throughout the world as a fact, evolution isnt the beleif we evolved from monkeys, it is a theory, like gravity and why the earth rotates.

That just doesn't ring true for about 4 billion people.

They are still turtles! Not a different kind. It is still a turtle. It did not mutate into a shark. It is still a turtle. That is micro and macro.

[QUOTE="jim_shorts"][QUOTE="LoveStaindRed"]

[QUOTE="jim_shorts"][QUOTE="Def_Jef88"] Correct, most mutations ARE bad. Thats why evolution is such a slow process. Mutations are few and far between, especially the good ones. Def_Jef88

Wouldn't the mutations have to happen on a large scale to affect the entire species?

It happens to a few and then they breed and breed and so on and so forth...thus the whole species eventually has the new genes or whatever it may be that the originals evolved. It doesnt have to be on a large scale to spread thoughout the species.

Yet the ones who weren't mutated breed and breed and breed. They far outnumber the mutated ones and you get nowhere.

thats why the genes are spread very slow. The diffuse very thinly among a huge population, which is why it takes time. Also, they ones with the favorable genes will breed more because they have a better chance of living.

I almost said that, but then I said, "oh they will be able to infer that from what I said"...apparently I was wrong.

You want to prove evolution? You flip a coin and get it to land on heads 150 times in a row and I'll believe in evolution. Until then I'll stick with the more logical approach. Jesus Christ!

Yes! Because the christian(And it's sub religions) god is the only possible explanations for creationism. No way was it a different god than what you're told, no way.

Actually a lot of religous people do beleive evolution occurs nowadays...it is just stubborn ones who want to beleive in some lame book written by different people in different times instead, because they think they will go to h3ll if they dont.

Look it is a Duck evolving into a Beaver!

Essentially, that is what creationists want...some magical chimera to prove evolution. It just shows their level of ignorance or in some cases intellectual dishonesty.

The salamander arguement actually just proved my point. Evolution is a religion. You've shown me variations within kinds. Pointing to micro to prove macro. It is still a freakin salamander. And the Galapagos island arguemenmt? That's a loss of info not a gain. You mean to tell me they kept losing info until they got it right? LOL. That is religion not science.

Provide a definition for "kinds". I've yet to see a Creationist definition of 'kind' that is not in some way absurd. What do you consider to be a species?

Is a Wind Scorpion aka. Sun Spider a spider or a scorpion or are they all in the insect kind?

Is the Racoon Dog a Racoon or Dog?

Is the Lion of the same kind as the common house cat?

The Creationist 'kind' is simply a mishmash of standards that has absolutely no bearing on the genetics of said creatures.

Yeah thats something else I dont get...how come the christian god is the only right one? Just because it was the one forced on people throughout the world? Is that why? Because if this is true...that would mean a LOT of people are going to hell for worshipping a false god.

Yes, religious people believe in evolution....that does NOT preclude their belief in the Bible, however.  They are not mutually exclusive.....really they are not.

Then you are in effect saying de-evolution occurs as well....

LJS9502_basic

De-evolution does not exist.  By saying something "De-evolves" it implies that a final build or product is in sight or mind.  Evolution does not have a set goal, it's changing making evolution a forward moving process.
