Evolution - From Butterflies To Humans 2of6

[beroan03]

@movies4christ Science is about discovery. We do not know everything there is to know about everything. Yes there are gaps in our knowledge, but science strives to discover how to fill those gaps. Science does not settle for some myth of a god that was made up a thousands of years ago to satisfy their need to understand without evidence. You are arguing a single small gap in our knowledge. There is massive amounts of evidence supporting the theory of evolution. If you are open minded as you s

Its easy to consider minor variations within a wing such as color changes.

But...the bigger question is...

How did butterflies evolve their ability to metamorph from caterpillar into something that flies ?

A great DVD called Metamorphosis explores this question.

Evolution has no answer for the butterfly life cycle.

@Movies4Christ Metamorphosis is well understood. You should investigate the science instead of simply parrotting creationist propaganda.

[Movies4Christ]

@djarm67

Oh really?... Metamorphosis is well understood you say?

Care to explain it?

[djarm67]

@Movies4Christ Are you wanting me to do your research for you?

[Movies4Christ]

@djarm67

Sir, it is your video title that contains the words evolution and butterfly - I really don't think I'm asking too much.

However, If you can't demonstrate a viable hypothesis for the evolution of the butterfly life cycle, I do understand.

I may be a believing Christian, and faith has its place in my life, but I'm certainly open to honest inquiry.

[djarm67]

@Movies4Christ OK. If I can demostrate that you that your statement "Evolution has no answer for the butterfly life cycle" is wrong, are you willing to concede that the source which misinformed you of this is unreliable?

[Movies4Christ]

@djarm67

I can tell you this. I don't take everything at face value. Just show me your theory and we can continue our discussion.

[djarm67]

@Movies4Christ I repeat, If I can demostrate to you that your statement "Evolution has no answer for the butterfly life cycle" is wrong, are you willing to concede that the source which misinformed you of this is unreliable? Why did you avoid this challenge?

[Movies4Christ]

@djarm67

Go ahead.

[djarm67]

@Movies4Christ Metamorphosis did not evolve "in" butterflies. They inherited it. We see all intermediate stages from non-metamorphosed growth to full metamorphosis within insects. The current hypothesis explaining the evolution of insect metamorphosis involves endocrinological changes. Truman, J. W. and L. M. Riddiford, 1999. The origins of insect metamorphosis. Nature 401: 447-452. This provides a comprehensive evolutionary "answer for the butterfly life cycle". Your source has misled you.

[djarm67]

@Movies4Christ This is the part where you now concede that the source which misinformed you is unreliable. Unless of course you are being intellectually dishonest.

[djarm67]

@Movies4Christ I guess you were being intellectually dishonest after all.

Thanks for playing. You won a doughnut.

@Movies4Christ You should really stop commenting. You're only making yourself look foolish.
