Allow a little bit of questioning to those who perhaps still have doubt - do you have a garden? Do you plant flowers, herbs, vegetables? Everyone likes the nicest flowers and plants in their gardens. You select the best specimens and breed the best seeds from them. You may even create new species based on this. If you have, you are a selector and, in the case of a new breed, responsible for evolution. If you can create it with your own hands, how do you still have an argument against it?
I feel sorry for me. You say if god wants you he should come get you, assuming god is real. If your going to go that far, you should imply the bible, which is where the idea of GOD comes from, which teaches blatantly why that view is totally fucking wrong. You just don't get it. Your ignorant to the words of God, and of the ways of the world because your so caught up in it. I am sorry for how you feel, because you are not in the right, and that tone and attitude proves it. Wake up
or why are there no skeletons of half ape half humans how can you say just by chance the world was made theres like a 1 to 100000000 chance that the human body was perfect for things just dont happen and if the big bang theory is true why arent there just random planets poppin up, im a Christain those are my beliefs and im not gonna force it upon you but CapnOrdinary just think about there has to be a higher power things dont create themselves
We didn't evolve from apes you nitwit. Apes and ourselves share a common ancestor. Do some reading on punctuated equilibrium before you shut a theory out of your mind which you know nothing about. The human body is also far from perfect. Ever heard of the appendix? Did you know you had a vestigial tale while in the womb? And this is the easy stuff I'm not even pulling out the "big guns." Its pretty clear that your belief is primarily attributed to your poor education.
most scientists agree that most coelorusaurs had feathers... the largest of them such as tyranosaurines had feathers only when young and lost this layer as they matured... this corresponds with the fact that relative to surface area, large terrestrial mammals such as elephants have a miniscule covering of hair compared to rodents... forget mammoths - they had the fur because of colder climate... all this from david lambert's books...
Have you ever even seen an ape (especially a chimpanzee)? They look so similar to humans it's ridiculous. Even Linnaeus, who was a creationist (to his defense, he lived before the Theory of Evolution), grouped us together with other apes and with monkeys in the category of "primates".
BTW I'd just like to point out, that although Archaeopteryx, was the first fossil to point at a dinosaur origin, for birds, it isn't certain to be the ancestor of modern birds.
I may have been a different dinosaur, like a Dromaeosauridae (i.e. velaciraptors, and microraptors) ...or several different kinds of dinosaurs.
Indeed. As with all transitional fossils, it is quite likely (in fact, most likely) not a direct ancestor, and even if it was, we could never prove it. That does not alter its status as a transitional fossil, of course :)
It's funny how so many brand-new accounts suddenly have an interest in this "debate".... And they're all 33 years old and US citizens. Who'd've thunk it?

Wow, well you really are smart. Did you study Biology in College? I wish Christians would get the point, I mean, they don't realize it's about working with "clues", not "wishful thinking".
1. You could. You'd be full of shit, but you could. In the real world, however, we know that mankind evolved from a common ancestor with the other great apes, because this is shown by so many independent lines of evidence that there is no realistic room for doubt.
2. Don't presume to tell me what I believe. If I hadn't already blocked you simply for being a nuisance, that statement would be enough for me to do so.
3. I will not have you post your mindless drivel on my channel unopposed. Bye!
1. This video will do nothing to alleviate homelessness. That is not its purpose, and I never claimed it was. It's purpose is to alleviate ignorance, although it seems in your case I've failed.
I never said there was no purpose to life. Stop making shit up.
2. Love is the term I use to describe what happens in my brain under certain conditions. Your preconceptions about atheists seem to leave you blind to the richness of the world when watched without the darkened glasses of superstition.
And by the way, I see no reason to feed the homeless (I prefer to change society so they don't become homeless to begin with), I have a girlfriend, my mother is well aware that I love her, and none of that is any of your business anyway.
Fortunately, you do not get to prioritize my life, that is my prerogative.
Frankly, Lewis' philosophical meanderings into non-analogous analogies get tiresome very rapidly. If you have nothing of interest to add, I suggest you find something else to occupy your time.
Otherwise, I'll probably end up blocking you simply for wasting my time.
And so we are forced to conclude that christianity should be of no importance, since the bible has been proven false.
Unfortunately, religious fanatics who lack the intellectual honesty to accept this fact make christianity very important for the rest of us, since they are actively trying to use their superstitions to oppress the rest of us.
1. A) requires the existence of a god, for which there is zero evidence. B) and C) only require the existence of a universe, which we know is there.
And without time, there's no causality, so no need for a prime mover. At a quantum level, there isn't even causality now.
2. No. It is never my job to prove you wrong. It's your job to provide evidence for your claims. Then I will have to prove that evidence is in error, to get back to status quo.
1. The origins of the universe are better explained through science than through bronze age mythology.
2. It is not our job to disprove every ridiculous superstitious hypothesis thought up in the mind of bronze age savages. It is the job of the savages to provide evidence for their hypothesis.
i was doing some more reading and it seems there was a problem with the map of Chromosome 2.
These differences were due to large fluorescence intensity measurements falsely caused by crossed molecules. Currently, we combine length measurements with fluorescence intensity measurements to improve on our sizing of these fragments. Chromosome 2 maps using these new measurements show no exceptional errors. but most are still using the old ones.
One thing I find so impressive about evolution is the riducously amount of evidence that supports it. Only complete closeminded idiots can ignore them. Which is exactly what creationists are.
If you ask me, I think god convinced Darwin to investigate and draw his own conclusions which ultimately lead to what we have today. I mean, can you imagine what Darwin would think today if he read a new biology book? He'd be estatic over how his theory was proven in ways he could never imagine.
is the recent hawaiian chirpless cricket a new species?
also "claws on 3 unfused digits (not found in any modern bird)"
can you explain this in more detail and tell me how archeoptryx differs from "the South American hoatzin, African touraco, and ostrich--each have claws on its wings" in this way?
The three unfused digits bit is the key. Hoatzin claws fuse when they reach adulthood. I have been unable to confirm independently that turacos (touraco is the old spelling, now rarely used except on creationist sites, which as we know have at least a 150 year update cycle) do indeed have claws. The ostrich only has two claws.
I put those 3 birds in quotes, because i did indeed copy them from the AIG website... someone pointed me to it when i said i was unaware of any modern birds with claws on its wings.
I have a HUGE encyclopedia of animals. I'll see if turacos are in it.
Chirpless cricket: tinyurlDOTcom/2laqhh
CLEARLY it's evolution in action, and creationists would argue its the same "kind" and a mutation, not a new species.
Ah, okay. Interesting. It appears that the chirpless crickets are not reproductively isolated, that is, the chirping and chirpless specimens can interbreed freely, and do so. Thus, by definition, they are the same species.
Also, by the by, if I recall correctly there are now eight Archy fossils known. I could be wrong, of course: my brain ain't what it used to be.... and never was, comes to that.
Ah, thank you. I should wander over to the Archy FAQ and read it again. If I recall properly, the London one shows so much detail that half of the world's Creationists insist it is a bird, and the other half of the world's Creationists insit it's a reptile. LOL!
The same problem that we see with homo habilis, and the australopithecines. They can't decide amongst themselves whether they're apes or humans, what they do know is that certainly they're not transitional forms. Riiiiight.
well, i once was lucky enough to see four archaeopterix-fossils, i could spot feathers as well as teeth in 3 of them. it was a small natural history museum in eichstaett near the place where they were found, and at this time these were the only known fossils of that kind on the planet, so i had about 3 cm (1 inch) of security glass between me and the fossils ^^ the place was heavily guarded.
A fine, fine set of lists indeed. Creationists, unfortunately, will refuse to accept the ugly brutal truth. Sad, but the best anyone can do is offer the facts and then hope the baren soil those facts fall upon may just perhaps bear a flower now and then.
well, creationists are in denial... unfortunately only people that know the facts will realize that. you cannot find out that another person is in denial about facts that you dont yourself know ^^
so if this video gets some people to look some things up on wikipedia or read a book about it, or simply take into considerations that we actually have the evidence we are claiming to have, then the video was worth the effort.
I read his book, He's a great scientist and writer but regardless Science and Faith don't mix. He's rational in everything besides his belief in god. But it should still be a sign to the Chrsitians that are afraid of Evolution that it really isn't anything to worry about, Unless you're a fundamentalist R-tard
Yep, I got those too. It's the same creationist bs, this time with the added twist of being propagated by muslims and based on a turkish book, the main premise of which is that evolution cannot have happened, because we see species living today that also exist as ancient fossils. Well, whoopdedoo, if the environment doesn't change, neither does the species!
Allow a little bit of questioning to those who perhaps still have doubt - do you have a garden? Do you plant flowers, herbs, vegetables? Everyone likes the nicest flowers and plants in their gardens. You select the best specimens and breed the best seeds from them. You may even create new species based on this. If you have, you are a selector and, in the case of a new breed, responsible for evolution. If you can create it with your own hands, how do you still have an argument against it?

It's the same creationist bs, this time with the added twist of being propagated by muslims and based on a turkish book, the main premise of which is that evolution cannot have happened, because we see species living today that also exist as ancient fossils. Well, whoopdedoo, if the environment doesn't change, neither does the species!
