[QUOTE="Spicy-McHaggis"] Animals evolve? Like pokemon? Spicy-McHaggis

Sure. If that helps you have more of a belief in evolution then pokemon is your source.

You mean to tell me that I came from an ape?

It's a bit of an insult to say I came from a monkey -_-

If humans did actually evolve from apes (or anything non-human), then why are there still apes(or other)today? If the whole evolution theory is correct, then apes would evolve into us humans, but they are not! They are still apes!

We came from a common ancestor, the other primates that live today our are cousins.. The Chimpanzee for instance has something around a 98% similarity to our DNA or maybe more if memory occurs.. Is it such a stretch to realize that these primates have striking similarities to us? Their bone structures and things like opposable thumbs are incrediably similar to us..

The fly thing is not evolution, it's habitatual adaptation. There isn't a new species, it's just natural selection doing it's job. Spicy-McHaggis
And what exactly do you think evolution is? A fish turning into an lizard overnight? Maybe a dinosaur turning into a bird in a couple days?

[QUOTE="montieman"] no, as a matter of fact i dont. I can throw something in the air and physically see that it falls down. I cannot with my eyes see animals evolving. I have no way to tell how old the earth is, or how any of us actually got here. And truth be told, nobody does. All im saying is that evolution, just like my belief, requires faith.montieman

No, it does not. Refer to Bumfluff's post. Furthermore, microevolution is observed on a regular basis in viral mutation.

You know those viruses that develop a mutation that protects them from a medication? Well, they survive when a person is medicated, and then reproduce.

Hmm, now, what is that called? Maybe you could help me out here?

ok, im not talking about microevolution. theres a difference between a virus becoming a virus that can resist a medication and an amoeba becoming a human. And lets talk about how everything actually got here in the first place. Im assuming that you believe in the big bang theory, correct? so rather than thinking that there just might be a greater being somewhere out there who created us, you prefer to think that nothingness, utter nothingness, somehow exploded, creating everything, totally going against entropy, the natural tendency of things to go from complex to simple. Sorry, but thats much more far fetched to believe than what i believe.

... The Big Bang Theory has nothing to do with the existence of god.. It only pertains to the earliest point scientists can find on how our universe came to be.. Scientists havn't a clue what occured before it, what caused it etc etc.. Thats the thing about science it doesn't make radical claims with no evidence to back it up.

I do think that The Big Bang is the best explanation right now, although it is far from certain; moreover, the origins of the universe is irrelevant to our discussion of evolution.

And, I'm not going to bother responding to your assertions about The Big Bang theory, since you clearly know pretty much nothing about it.

Also point out that we are phyiscally not much different from our cousins the Chimpanzee's.. Those "small" changes such as having a coat of hair across the majority of our body, curved bone structure, lower intelligence etc etc.. Are all things thatcertain humans have been born with that have been classified as "disorders"...

No, but evolution describes lizards changing into snakes or something along those lines. Not a couple of days, but many many years. There is no new specie, so there is no evolution evidence.

We didn't just evolve from apes, we're still taxonomically considered apes. Humans and all of the other apes all evolved from a common ancestor, and as a result of the accumulation of differing genetic attributes and mutations over time, they all developed into their respective species. It's not as though they're lesser beings that are on a linear path towards making the exact same developments as the human species. Evolution doesn't work that way, as that would suggest that species evolve into another species that already exists, which is not possible. It's a common misconception that evolution postulates that organisms change from one definite species that exists within the current timefrime into another definite species that also exists in the same duration, which is why idiots like Kirk Cameron say that evolution is wrong because he's never seen a "crocoduck." Species don't magically turn into other species, they mutate and make small changes to their genetic make-up over time until it gets to the point where the characteristics of a species are different enough for them to be categorized as something different from their predecessor. You didn't just come from an ape, you still are one.

It is entirely possible that other universes exist. However, there is not currently enough evidence to strongly suggest they do.

Our studies on the matter has only been around for a matter of a few hundred years tops.. The kinds of radical changes takes millions of years to see.

Categories of species are human concepts. I can find instances of fish that breath air and move like a snake out of water. I can find instances of fish that use their flippers like legs. They can breath both air and water as they have gills. What would you label these creatures as? It takes a lot longer than many many years for a creature like humans or anythign similar to evolve. Actually the current species of humans is approximately 40,000 years old. The human lineage split from the chimp/ape lineage approximately 6 - 9 million years ago. The great/lesser ape lineage and the simpler primate lineage split approximately 45 million years ago.

Big Bang is insane. How did everything just come together so perfectly to make a perfect ecosystem, with beings that are somehow compatible with one another. Not to mention, not just one species of beings, but millions. Do you mean to tell me that man and woman were made so they could perfectly reproduce, and it was because of an explosion? Bible ftw!Spicy-McHaggis

Why isnt there life on every planet? if this god is so omnipotent and powerful, why didnt he create one dominant species on each planet, why would he give one planet life, and not the rest? What are the other ones for? Looks? every planet in its place by chance has an immense scientific meaning to the solar system. Without one of them, things would be drasticaly different. But if thats the alternative, why didnt god just create the universe perfect to where Earth alone, being the harbinger of life, was in perfect balance, never to close or in danger of moving to far away from the sun. why cant we just breathe anywhere? another question would be why do we have to breathe at all, what a flawed design to have to draw breathe when so much power is show upon us by the sun. What kind of flawed machine are we that out of nowhere for no apparent reason, our cells can go haywire and we suddenly have cancer?
Of what use is war, why would we be created with such conflictive ideals? Why do we doubt god? if i create a stick man with sticks and lay him down, i can choose where he goes, how he moves. But if there is a god, why cant he just make us do as we were created to do, unless its some sick joke of its and we were meant to kill rape destroy and all the other evils that mankind commits. Read this, and tell me hes not right.
"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing?
Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able, and willing?
Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God." -Epicurus

is it really a big deal to say evolutionist? It just means somebody who believes in evolution. And there is a difference. Most people accept most scientific facts, and that doesnt mean that they believe in evolution. Its not like i say evolutionist as a derogatory term, i just mean people who believe in evolution.

But evolution doesn't describe how the universe was created. Nor does it have anythign to do with the Big Bang. That is called Cosmology. Heck evolution doesn't even have anything to do with how life came into being. That would be called Abiogenesis. Evolution is the change and adaption of creatures due to the presence of mutated DNA, which has been witnessed, which is then passed onto their opffspring as well as the genetic traits associated with them. If that genetic traits allows the creature to breed more often or live longer then that creature will have more offspring and the lineage of the genetic trait will continue.

The only reason i correlate the big bang theory and creationism is to make the argument that it was really either one or another. Theyre not related, but if youre arguing "evolutionism" (sorry i know you wont like that word) against creationism, those are kinda the 2 possible beginnings.

[QUOTE="sSubZerOo"]

[QUOTE="montieman"] why is it that every time i try to have a debate with an evolutionist, they just act like a pretentious a hole? you dont know what i know. So please, since im just some moron who somehow figured out how to work a computer, explain how the big band theory makes sense. Enlighten me sir.montieman

.. Ok Don't say evolutionist.. There is no such thing as one.. There are people who agree and accept scientific theories and facts.. And there are not.. What do you call people who accept Gravity? Or photosytniesis?

is it really a big deal to say evolutionist? It just means somebody who believes in evolution. And there is a difference. Most people accept most scientific facts, and that doesnt mean that they believe in evolution. Its not like i say evolutionist as a derogatory term, i just mean people who believe in evolution.

Because there is NO BELIEF IN IT.. You either accept SCIENCE for what it is, in the case of Evolution which has more evidence for the scientific theory that its seen as a fact in the community, that it did occur.. Under the scientific method it passes the bill... The only real group against it are the people with religious bias..

[QUOTE="montieman"][QUOTE="sSubZerOo"]

I havn't a clue what so ever personally I never bother asking my self it because there is no way we would know..

BumFluff122

EXACTLY! so to believe in a theory of how the world was created would require.....faith. Thats all ive been trying to say. I obvioulsy dont know what happened either. I just have faith. I respect you however subzero. At least you admit we dont know.

But evolution doesn't describe how the universe was created. Nor does it have anythign to do with the Big Bang. That is called Cosmology. Heck evolution doesn't even have anything to do with how a species came into being. That would be called Abiogenesis. Evolution is the change and adaption of creatures due to the presence of mutated DNA, which has been witnessed, which is then passed onto their opffspring as well as the genetic traits associated with them. If that genetic traits allows the creature to breed more often or live longer then that creature will have more offspring and the lineage of the genetic trait will continue.

Im sorry that is actually my bad. i guess im just used to people who believe in evolution also believing in the big bang theory. sorry about that.

No, actually, evolutionism is a term commonly used by creationists to imply that evolution has a religious pretext and that the assertions made by the theory are put forth on faith rather than testable evidence. You're not going to find anyone who's well-versed with the theory of evolution call themselves an evolutionist.

... Every rationale people is that way, the point being is your faith does not work well with logical arguments.. if we were to logically argue about a creator, the evidence just doesn't exist meaning it should never enter the argument what so ever.. The Big Bangshould have nothing to do with this... The way I see it, in the end if a being did create this reality.. We were a accident of chance, we are entirely too small and insignificant to actually mean something in the vast universe we live in.. Even something as fast as light, can take billions of years to reach us from points in the Universe.

Many christian sects also believe in evolution. As mentioend before even the last 3 pope are tryign to pressure their churches to believe in it because to deny it exists is incredibly shortsighted. The only difference between 'microevolution' as you call it and 'macroevolution' is time scale.

[QUOTE="Spicy-McHaggis"]Big Bang is insane. How did everything just come together so perfectly to make a perfect ecosystem, with beings that are somehow compatible with one another. Not to mention, not just one species of beings, but millions. Do you mean to tell me that man and woman were made so they could perfectly reproduce, and it was because of an explosion? Bible ftw!MuddVader

Why isnt there life on every planet? if this god is so omnipotent and powerful, why didnt he create one dominant species on each planet, why would he give one planet life, and not the rest? What are the other ones for? Looks? every planet in its place by chance has an immense scientific meaning to the solar system. Without one of them, things would be drasticaly different. But if thats the alternative, why didnt god just create the universe perfect to where Earth alone, being the harbinger of life, was in perfect balance, never to close or in danger of moving to far away from the sun. why cant we just breathe anywhere? another question would be why do we have to breathe at all, what a flawed design to have to draw breathe when so much power is show upon us by the sun. What kind of flawed machine are we that out of nowhere for no apparent reason, our cells can go haywire and we suddenly have cancer?
Of what use is war, why would we be created with such conflictive ideals? Why do we doubt god? if i create a stick man with sticks and lay him down, i can choose where he goes, how he moves. But if there is a god, why cant he just make us do as we were created to do, unless its some sick joke of its and we were meant to kill rape destroy and all the other evils that mankind commits. Read this, and tell me hes not right.
"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing?
Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able, and willing?
Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God." -Epicurus

I would like to point out that our Universe is far from perfect.. If you didn't know our galaxy is on a collosion course with the Andromeda galaxy.. Where are planet will either A) flung into the center of that collision possibly flinging us into its dangerous center.. Or B) we are flung out of the galaxy into the void.. This sort of thing happens all the time.. There are also things like super nova's going off where if we were around 600 light years away it may kill all life on our planet as we know it.. We are just lucky that we are relatively in a quiet part in our galaxy.. If we are some how god's master plan, why is it that everything is slated by our observations to be much older than us, as well as last much longer after we die out as a race?

[QUOTE="chessmaster1989"]

[QUOTE="montieman"] no, as a matter of fact i dont. I can throw something in the air and physically see that it falls down. I cannot with my eyes see animals evolving. I have no way to tell how old the earth is, or how any of us actually got here. And truth be told, nobody does. All im saying is that evolution, just like my belief, requires faith.montieman

No, it does not. Refer to Bumfluff's post. Furthermore, microevolution is observed on a regular basis in viral mutation.

You know those viruses that develop a mutation that protects them from a medication? Well, they survive when a person is medicated, and then reproduce.

Hmm, now, what is that called? Maybe you could help me out here?

ok, im not talking about microevolution. theres a difference between a virus becoming a virus that can resist a medication and an amoeba becoming a human. And lets talk about how everything actually got here in the first place. Im assuming that you believe in the big bang theory, correct? so rather than thinking that there just might be a greater being somewhere out there who created us, you prefer to think that nothingness, utter nothingness, somehow exploded, creating everything, totally going against entropy, the natural tendency of things to go from complex to simple. Sorry, but thats much more far fetched to believe than what i believe.

Have you ever thought that it wasnt utter nothingness untill moments before it exploded? The universe is expanding, and they think that in time, it will collapse on itself again on a central point, and eventually re-expand again via another big bang, or atleast this is a theory. If thats the case, Its just gravity in effect, mass pulls other mass, just as there is a center of gravity in the planet, the solar system, the milky way, there is a gravitational pull in the middle of the universe. Its very simple to imagine, but basically the universe could be infinite in lifespan as its recycles all it is in the big bang.

or something like that, i'm not too scientificy so i'm doing my best.

That is false.. Scientists now think that the universe will either be torn asunder, or die out till nothing is left.. The first idea is based on the fact that the outer galaxies are increasing in speed, in which the Dark energy is gaining strength to the point that over many billions of years the force will get so strong it will rip all matter apart.. The other theory is the idea that the universe iwll turn into a husk.. Where all the suns will burn out, and for a time only black holes will exist eating every other piece of dead matter (dead as in unable to create fusion).. Finally after a vast amount of time more, those blackholes will evaporate from existence.

There are many many cyclic universe theories. The universe before the Big Bang will never be known though. If you want to believe that a super supreme being formed the Big Bang go right ahead but that is unprovable just as the cyclic universe theory is unprovable.

Doesn't matter. That's not what the word actually means and how it's commonly used. It's meant to imply that the theory of evolution is based on assertions of faith and not on evidence. More than that, a scientific theory is not an -ism. There is no atomicism, there is no gravitism, there is no chemistrism. There is no evolutionism, either.

for me to accept something as fact, i need to see it. I thought thats what "science" was all about. See thats what boggles my mind. People say that they cant believe in God because it cant be proven, when in fact evolution has not been proven. Science is man's observation of the physical world around him. So you asked me if i had ever seen god? well, have you ever seen major evolution take place? sorry if im coming off like a **** by the way.

Actually there is a new theory that puts the observation that the farthest galaxies are indeed speeding up. This theory says that the observation from our perpective of the outer galaxies travelling faster than the inner ones is the result of space being expanded and the light needing longer to travel to us than it would in a static universe.

Its very simple to imagine, but basically the universe could be infinite in lifespan as its recycles all it is in the big bang.

or something like that, i'm not too scientificy so i'm doing my best.

That is false.. Scientists now think that the universe will either be torn asunder, or die out till nothing is left.. The first idea is based on the fact that the outer galaxies are increasing in speed, in which the Dark energy is gaining strength to the point that over many billions of years the force will get so strong it will rip all matter apart.. The other theory is the idea that the universe iwll turn into a husk.. Where all the suns will burn out, and for a time only black holes will exist eating every other piece of dead matter (dead as in unable to create fusion).. Finally after a vast amount of time more, those blackholes will evaporate from existence.

wow that totaly sucks ._. so much for theuniverse. I like mine better, atleast theres a restart. But yeah, ive been kind of disconnected from, well life for the last few years, so thanks for filling me in on that, its quite amazing.

[QUOTE="sSubZerOo"][QUOTE="montieman"] no, and i dont think that creationism is science either.montieman

either? Are you suggesting that evolution is a belief? The science community has seen evolution as fact, its not a matter of belief.. Its a matter of using the scientific method and coming to that conclusion numerous times.. Now you can not accept it, its fine with me.. But don't even try to suggest that its a belief like religion.

for me to accept something as fact, i need to see it. I thought thats what "science" was all about. See thats what boggles my mind. People say that they cant believe in God because it cant be proven, when in fact evolution has not been proven. Science is man's observation of the physical world around him. So you asked me if i had ever seen god? well, have you ever seen major evolution take place? sorry if im coming off like a **** by the way.

The only reason you haven't seen it is because you aren't a scientists who is studying it. These people have seen it. You just choose to remain ignorant to it.

[QUOTE="-Chimera-"] No, actually, evolutionism is a term commonly used by creationists to imply that evolution has a religious pretext and that the assertions made by the theory are put forth on faith rather than testable evidence. You're not going to find anyone who's well-versed with the theory of evolution call themselves an evolutionist.-Chimera-

as a creationist, i have to disagree. When me and my creationism buddies use that word we mean people who believe in evolution. so maybe it means 2 different things to us, but i meant nothing by it.

Doesn't matter. That's not what the word actually means and how it's commonly used. It's meant to imply that the theory of evolution is based on assertions of faith and not on evidence. More than that, a scientific theory is not an -ism. There is no atomicism, there is no gravitism, there is no chemistrism. There is no evolutionism, either.

well, to me it doesnt matter that you are offended by it. to me that is how the word is commonly used. And the reason that there isnt gravitism is becasue there arent people in their right mind that disagree with gravity. If there were 2 conflicting theories regarding gravity, it wouldnt be strange to assign words for the 2 different sides of the aregument.

Can you see gravity? No you see the effects of it, we see the effects of what evolution has done on a daily scale.. Humans have had their own hands in evolution for thousands of years now both intentionally and unintentionally when it comes to domesticating animals and plants.. Many people don't really know what domesticating means.. Let me explain, its not only a tamed creature or plant, but the fact we have geneticially altered it through breeding to fit our needs.. Evolution on some scale must have occured if it did not we would never have created such spieces such as we have of dogs.. We have bred some like the Bulldog to the point that they have breathing problems due to the athestics of their faces.
