Well it is a fact that humans are getting bigger and bigger genitalias and women also are getting bigger breasts. We are also entering puberty at a earlier age and we are also getting taller, so yes humans are evolving. But I beliave that humans in a distant future will become small due too overpopulation that makes a appocalypse that also means that the smallest survives.
Love what you say about Darwin's concept of "Natural Selection." I think the problem is that a lot of people co-opt the term to their own ends.
Anyone in modern society that suggests the poor, hungry and weak should be left to die...is ultimately missing the point that we as a species abandoned the concept of natural selection when we embraced reason, logic and community.
You would have thought a predisposition towards social awkwardness and dodgy social skills would die out in our society as it is so socially orientated.
this is not necessarily survival, although survival is an aspect of it. the reality is that evolution is fuelled not by survival but by reproduction. A person can live twice as long but have half as many children, and hence their genes would become less common in the next generation. Evolution is happening as we speak, by those who have the most progeny, regardless of the fact that everyone survives.
Our brain and problem solving ability can be considered part of survival of the fittest. Nature weeds out the weakest animals, where as we use our brain power and ability to solve problems to work around issues like handicapped people. Instead of nature weeding out the weak humans we work nature around the weak ones, like with glasses, wheel chairs, care takers, ramps ect...
dean you are so interesting and funny, I wish I could meet you some day! you seem like such a swell guy :') and your hair looks really good on this =]
How do you know we came from apes? Your confidence in Darwin is upstting. He was a eugenicist. His concepts were adopted due to their political weight, not scientific. Darwin was wrong, and I'm sure he would agree if he were alive today.
Ever heard of Intervention Theory? You need to look up Lloyd Pye.
Get with the program mate, its not the 20th Century anymore ;)
What are these people talking about. We are evolving. We are losing hair, we are getting taller, our littletoes are dissapearing, puperty cones earlier, we live longer (although medicine plays a large part) and we are getting more attractive because we are genetically getting higher standards.
@KnivstikkerOla the thing is we are all mixing and having babies no matter what, so there's no selection. But interestingly in places where people really die and don't have a chance to reproduce when they're sick and stuff like that, they (literally) evolve...
I have had this question in my mind some time ago and i came to conclusion that evolution is still happening, but not in the simple survival type. Basically whats happening is that humans are splitting apart - since sex for having children is mostly considered only in fit couples it makes sense that after a while the smart, for example, will get more and more likeliness to have smart children and the other way around. You should also consider social factors leading to death at young age.
@MikkelKuckelhahn Congratulations for being the creator of the dumbest thing ive read in a long time. I award this medal, it has cool shapes and can store stuff inside it.
@777Semper To answer your question, yes, I do know what DNA is. I might ask you the same thing, because frankly, your logic is flawed and your analogy is incorrect. However, you're right, the Theory of Evolution has not been, and will likely never be, proven. That's why it's called the Theory of Evolution.
@treefrog821 The Theory of Evolution is a "theory" yes.. But it is very much proven, we have detailed theories about how almost everything evolved, and only people who can't accept facts doesn't see this. We understand "The Theory of Evolution" better than we understand "Theory of Gravity", however there was never written a book that said "And god created gravity, cause the earth liked the humans, and wanted them to stay close to it."
@treefrog821 I know what it is, and I looked it up again but it still consisted of Nucleic acids which are written down as letters A,G,C and T (or U in RNA). and like I said it's a book or maybe its better to describe it as a blueprint to make Proteins. and here is the fun part the only way to make RNA is with proteins but the only way to make proteins is by RNA. but sadly that's called evolution, I don't say creationism doesn't have all the answers, but evolution has a lot unfilled gaps
No one knows for sure whare we came from. If you are more of a sicence kind person you will think we came from moneys or ape like things. But on the other hand, if you think god is real you should think god made us and put us here. So that means we came from nothing but god.
@treefrog821 that is never proved it's just a theory which grew out of hand. several physic laws are against it like one of thermodynamics. and then there is still something like life.
do you know what DNA is? to visualize it, it's a book with letters bigger than the bible, and well I've never seen a readable book spontaneous formed from empty pages. not even by a PC
@777Semper I'm sorry, but you are wrong. You are referring to the 2nd law of thermodynamics, and it only applies for a closed system.. And the earth is not a closed system!
and about DNA being spontaneous formed, no ofcourse it wasn't... It's an evolved form of RNA.But the reason the "Theory of Evolution" is a theory and always will be, is because we can't travel back in time and record what actually happend. So we might be wrong, but scientific facts > book written 2000 years ago any day.
@Naturefade with 2nd law of thermodynamics I mean the universe. if there isn't another dimension (for God) then it's supposed to be a closed system right? for where should things come from if there isn't someone who creates it? for example if you get some clay it doesn't form itself to pottery. RNA spontaneous formed you get the idea. I wonder if you think the bible was written in a couple of years or even less time it was written over more than 2000 years with facts we discovered only recently
I think humans always existed but intellectually they were so far behind that it was almost a joke. And due to that, I think it was a term that some of these unintellectual beings were acting like 'apes' like 'beasts in the wild' and past through history until someone got word of it down the line of intellect that actually comprehended it and took it literal, therefore would cause all this 'Evolution from Ape' talk
My opinion, I could be wrong. I'm open minded in all aspects but to say we evolved from monkey.. or ape just b/c they can't seem to come up with another explanation seems rather dull. Or maybe... They rather not change all the books in history they wrote due to they were wrong.
If I came from a monkey, I should be able to fuck a monkey and make an offspring, that is NOT true though therefore not true that we evolved from Monkey. Other species can mate with their evolution tree line and have a high chance at an offspring, creating new species. They can mate with there older tree line and sometimes other species.. Evolution is very straight forward. If you can mate with it and create an offspring, more then likely in some way we are the Evolved Version. DNA doesn't mix.
Gotta remember, NATURAL selection. Manufactured cures for diseases aren't natural. Aids for blind, deaf, retarded people, those aren't natural things.
"natural selection is simply about those who HAPPEN to survive." That's right. And if it weren't for our interference with people who are at a disadvantage health-wise, then they wouldn't "happen" to survive. One example: People who have deadly cancers and are treated and beat it don't just HAPPEN to survive, they do because of our interference (I'll use that word for now) by creating cures for it.
i feel like darwinism still appys to people with ditabeteies and other genetic bond problems. if they where not taking care of and feel ill and went allowed to propendgate then we wouldnt have this massive problem with these genetic problems
I love this channel Brother! its extremly different to OGfurious, Make something with ATHENE AGAIN PLSSSSSSSS, I MISS SEEING YOU GUYS IN THE SAME ROOM O.o loll
i think in the years to come the evolution of the human species will be determined upon wealth and not the down to how well you can survive in your environment. the adavances in biotechnolgy and dna / genetherapy will dictate a different form of evolution for humans in the years to come. some people say that this is only 20-30 years from now. people have already got used to the idea of implanting, morphing and cosmetically improving their bodies.
@UPROAR24 If you look at the demographic changes in different countries, I´d say that actually say that wealth is selected against in the moment: the wealthier the country, the less children are born. I cant imagine genetherapy to influence the evolution of the majority of humans, within 20-30yrs, it might affect the industrialized countries` upper class, but wont make these people beget more puppies.^.^ Most people will still be too poor to meddle with their childrens DNA, I guess.

Either way, he still argues a good logic. I never really thought about human evolution. Since i always thought our time of genetic evolving was done. WOW im stupid. lol well i just didnt put those things he put into context. I knew we as a nation evolve, just our bodies in general. hah Im probably sounding really stupid.

Loosely stemming from this video, is it possible to become superhuman? Not like gaining the ability to fly or pick up a bus, but having abnormal amounts of speed, tolerance, strength, etc? I'd really like to know D:
@RyanLuckyNinko for that to happen (even slightly) our whole environment should demand it. And we probably would not classify it as such (like the development of our brain, that could be considered 'superhuman' in comparison to the stone age). It was mandatory that we develop a skill other species didn't have for our survival.
Ben je Belg? Of kan je Nederlands want ik ben bijna zeker dat ik je ooit Nederlands heb horen spreken een tijd geleden. Ik kan ook verkeerd zijn natuurlijk.
Nu ja, je Engels lijkt een licht 'Vlaams' accent te vertonen. Daarom dat ik dit vraag.
You don't talk anymore about psychology... You now talk about subjects that don't have a real good answer.
Your videos of a few months ago were the best where you talked about subjects that really involved our lives.
Like relationships, confidence, intuition, shame, addiction and all that. You don't really help us out anymore and give us advice like you used to at the end of your videos.
I hope you'll do that again. I'm just giving you feedback.
@Dininiful This guy's channel wasn't just about psychology Yeah he did some videos about it but hes not going to forever there's only so munch to know If you want to learn more about psychology go take a class.
@beatlifetwice I'm not asking him to only do psychology videos. I'm justing asking now, because we haven't had one in quite a while now. Maybe two every month isn't a bad idea, don't you think? And I'm already taking a class, but thanks for the offer.

I'm sorry, but unsubscribed. You never talk about interesting stuff anymore. You only takes suggestions nowadays and that equals out to you just teaching people what they should have learned in elementary school. You're talking about way too simple things and facts that to people with a brain is common knowledge. You used to talk about interesting subjects, but no more. Sorry unsubscribed...
@rrpjdisc It's great that you can understand that most people believe in evolution ( note that i didn't say that you understand what evolution fully means and is about , because you probably don't) BUT it's too bad you can't understand that people have different believes and views on things.
@Torul I fully accept that people have different beliefs (note how I spelled beliefs correctly) and differing views on things, and I never said anything contrary to that in my comment.
And while I don't have extensive knowledge on evolution, I do grasp a decent understanding of what it is, and how it works, however, my post did not make any mention, nor was hinting at some statement of me claiming to have some superior knowledge of evolution.
@rrpjdisc No, you did not 'simply state that most people accept it', you insulted people who don't understand it or refuse to. That is my main problem with your comment. I know you didn't state any superior knowledge of evolution , but you clearly, intentionally or not, implied that you and all those who understand and accept evolution are superior, by calling the rest idiots. You talked about prompting pointless comments, well yours is one of the worst once, the one that insults people.
I wasn't calling people who didn't understand it idiots, but yes, people who refuse to believe it, are in fact idiots, and I'll call them that as much as I like.
And I did not imply that I was superior, and you just said "I know you didn't state any superior knowledge", and then right after stated that I did. So which one was it? Make up your mind.
And you chose to start a pointless back-and-forth when you decided to reply to my first comment.
@rrpjdisc I have to agree with Torul on this one; in particular you thinking that people who refuse to believe in evolution are idiots, is implying you're too narrow-minded to not be considered an idiot yourself. Five hundred years ago no body would've believed Evolution, and people were idiots for not believing what the church said. Now you say that Evolution is the new answer and people who don't believe that are idiots. What'll be like 500 years from now? Perhaps we are the idiots.
500 years from now evolution is going to be just like gravity, and no one will reject it anymore, because in that time we'll have just even more and more proof of it, even though we already have so much of it that we don't even need any more.
And sorry but I'm just militant about this topic, so I'm going to use harsh words, because people who don't think that evolution happens are usually 100% close-minded religious nutcases who don't even try to listen to what you have to say.
@rrpjdisc And 500 years ago people thought that in 2011 Creationism wouldn't be rejected anymore either (because there were already people rejecting it) and people would stop believing in nonsense like things we presently call Evolution. So in that same sense, you're no different from the people 500 years ago...
I'm not advocating Creationism is right and I agree with your effort; I'm trying to open people's minds; just like you do. But now I'm trying to open yours as well.
@Galloh Okay, sure 500 years ago some people thought that in 2011 creationism wouldn't be rejected anyomore, but so what?
Maybe in 500 years everyone will say that evolution is a lie, although that's extremely unlikely to happen.
I simply find it our job to try to get the few remaining people in the country who close their minds to even the idea of evolution to open their eyes.
And what do you mean trying to "open yours as well", I'm simply more militant about the topic.
@rrpjdisc And I support your case. I definitely do. I was simply stating that if you were to go and say that Evolution is the >absolute truth< you're no different from the people who you are trying to change. But I see you changed it to "it's unlikely evolution will be a lie" which shows skepticism of one's own believes which was my only interest :). After all, that's the only way to open one's eyes. That's all I wanted to say :).
@rrpjdisc I said that you didn't state any superior knowledge AND THEN I said that you implied that anyone who understands and accepts evolution is superior, NOT 'superior knowledge' just superior as in better then others.
So it's not about me making my mind up it's just a missunderstanding on your part.
My point is when both sides call each other idiots for believing or not in evolution, then it's very pointless. More pointless than arguing with eachother with facts,point of views etc.
@Torul There was nothing to imply in what I said, so you misunderstood.
It may be pointless to call people idiots for certain things and situations, but I believe that this is not one of them.
If you don't accept evolution, then that's a problem enough for sane people to challenge those idiots, by either calling them idiots and trying to explain, or just trying to explain without any name-calling. Either way, doesn't really bother me, as I've said before -- I'm somewhat militant about this.
Dean have you ever thought that it causes de-evolution to some how balance our superiority over nature ? Kind of like regressing toward the mean. You know what I mean right?
I'm impressed about how dense of info your videos are. I study biochemistry in college and I wish my teachers were like you (ps : sorry my bad english)
you're smart and have cute accent and donate to amnesty that's a huuuuge thing for me
Dean I've been watching your videos for a long time now. I'm religious, but I still love your videos and think your awesome. BUT, didn't like the way you ended the video though. Sounded like a "us (Darwinists) against them (people who aren't Darwinists)".
Please keep in notice that there are also a lot of religious people watching your videos and I know you could make much better references for us to click the like button.
No hating, just saying. Can't wait til your next video.
*cough,cough* Dean, we still haven't disconnected from nature as much as you want to think we did. Saying that thinking in a "natural mind" is weak- is in fact-wrong.
Only if we were to live in a world with no other animals but us and plants, only then, I could accept your sayings at 1:23
Why does a herd of cattle ostracizes the one member that is sick and wounded? People do that all the time. It's simply not politically correct to do it with handicapped, autistic people and people with Aids...!
Oh yeahhhhh.....what about animals.? Since you believe humans came from apes. I mean what about the birds that's fly? The fish that swim.? All of these animals(: -Muslim
@Ibbiy1 Birds, fish, animals, hmmm. I have a suggestion , If you truly want to learn more go to the library and look these books up for yourself. If you won't do it then don't ask the question good luck you'll find it under science biology.
watching OGfurious for a few years and then watching this made me stop believing in santa =(....BUT I STILL LOVE YOU! in a non gay way, btw, you make ALOT of fair points =)
DEEAANN!!!! You smartass :P. If you hadn't currently been exposed to any insight into a major threat to most humanity, a comet know as ELEnin is supposed to approach in close proximity to Earth on SEPTEMBER 26, 2011 along with the primary concern of a planetary alignment with this dense magnetic object. Thus, it is predicted that worldwide seismic activity could occur as a result of a greater shift in our axis (AKA POLES SHIFTING). Im a CANADIAN Westi. PLease PM with ur opnion on this. THANKS<3
@DeanLeysen NASA and the worlds governments wouldnt tell there people about a disastor days before it happens because they would try to do something to avoid it secretly. If you tell the people days before hand there would only be massive panic and loss of control
The natural selection doesn't apply much to humans anymore, that's right. But there's still sexual selection. Nearly everyone survives, but only the most attractive humans have children and their genes transfered to the next generation. So we'll get more attractive humans by this evolution.
The camera eye (the one we have) gives such powerful evolutionary advantages that it has evolved several times independently in different species. This has been documented well enough to 'prove' how each eye has evolved independently. Other examples are given in the Wikipedia page "List of examples of convergent evolution".
Dean - Any chance of a vlog on your thought on convergent evolution? :)
I love that you mentioned humans and their genetic defects still existing and reproducing BUT I intended to ask you 'how bad do you think it'll effect on the human kind?', but you said what you said. I don't think, I Know it will degenerate the human specie.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Your example of eyesight in fish is an example of DE-VOLUTION, yet again, you have yet to provide evidence of an information-gaining mutation, as a matter of fact, nobody has. The DNA has simply been dropped as a result of natural selective forces.
Yes, natural selection allows for blind fish to speciate and survive, but doesn't explain the eye origin itself. There is no mechanism known that can do this. Go to creation dot com for details on this, tell your mum :)
Any improvement in an animal’s genetic endowment as part of the supposed evolutionary process requires the incorporation of more information in its genome. This, as a spontaneous phenomenon, i.e. without intelligent intervention, has yet to be observed or reproduced experimentally and so remains a supposition, not an established fact.
@DeanLeysen Observed mutations have never generated new information but, rather, they represent corruption of the genetic data, i.e. there is a loss of information ----> the example you have provided. It's not denial, I suspect you have obtained your evidence from dawkins book "the blind watchmaker" or something like that (eye evolving in increments). Go to creation dot com for a detailed explanation on why Dawkins view is completely flawed. Tell your mum too :)
@skihas1 in an experiment where lizards were moved from one island to another, with different vegetation and habitats, they grew entire new body parts (inner valves) as well as a larger head, and I even believe different teeth, within a timespan of 12-20 years.
Your argument isn't just silly, it is plain wrong, and has been proven wrong several times in similar experiments. Your propaganda here is based on plain denial, mate.
@DeanLeysen The thing with science is that it's another medium used as a control mechanism and is in many ways much like religion.
The thing with Christianity though, is that there is such a thing as 'sanctity of life', where as with Darwinism's 'survival of the fittest', there seems to be a lot less respect for any form of life but the strongest.
LOL a quick search reveals: in this experiment Italian wall lizards (P.sicula) actually have the genes for cecal valves in the original parent population. These genes are pre-existing but "not expressed" until now.
Full DNA testing/genome sequencing has been done on both the populations. This sequencing/testing shows the genes for the cecal valves are in both populations but they are "turned off" in the "parent" population.
@skihas1 then what about experiments where E. Coli has been over the course of tens (maybe hundreds) of short-lived generations been mutated to feed on entirely different sources (citrate, I believe.) There is a whole list of experiments like this. But even this isn't necessary to prove evolution, the list of facts is extensive, and mostly ignored by creationists, not dealt with.
@skihas1 fossils never show up out of order, not once, fossil records show clear evolution, various kinds of radiometric dating show their age, tested to extreme accuracy (half-lives of radioactive materials never change, this has also been proven; creationists simply say "Oh but they must change to fit our beliefs," and then go on to Noah's Ark to explain fossils. Kudos. ;))
@skihas1 As for information in the genome, that in itself is a silly argument that makes no sense if you read a book on DNA. I have indulged you in this by asking several experienced biologists, who all say that genetic evolution is 100% proven and explicable, and the question of "information increase in the genome" in itself shows a grave lack of understanding of DNA.
@skihas1 Your DNA is fundamentally the same as that of a worm, the alphabet of nucleotides does not change. Putting them together in different orders is what creates different structures, and the orders change gradually through mutation.
If you acknowledge the existence of mutations, and the fact that DNA is the same throughout the animal kingdom; saying you can't rearrange the letters to make different words is quite absurd.
@skihas1 You could say you need 'more' of the same letters, since man has more mass than a worm obviously, but this is an open system. Breathing, feeding and interacting with the environment exchanges elements all the time. Your "information increase" argument would make sense if every organism was a closed system.
As it is now however, asking the question alone is embarrassing to any biologist. :)
This switching on and off of genes is very common in life forms.
Propaganda? You don't see me pumping out videos on evidence for creationism. Clearly evolution is run PURELY on propaganda (like this), since the science behind it is so feeble (as you are showing). I guess if I believed like you, I would hope it's true too.
So we are abandoning sightless fish and jumping to Italian wall lizards? Putting your fingers in your ears?
@skihas1 I'm all for debate, and I respect and even think about the things you say. You might even be right about the example of the lizards, I have no issue admitting that; I'm not here to stubbornly propagate something but to look at all the information. What I mean by propaganda is linking the site in every comment like you're handing out flyers. That's not a debate, it's advertizing.
@skihas1 what I would like to ask you, skihas, and I ask this in all respect because you are entitled to your faith, is if this debate is pointless. Is there anything that could possibly make you revise your beliefs, or are you very tied to them?
Because I can safely say, if for instance one fossil showed up out of order, a big fish in the precambrian era, I would renounce my views on evolution instantly, I'm merely looking at the information. I respect it if you simply value your faith though
I've noticed you've started 5 new topics (E.coli, the fossil record, radiometric dating, certain biologists opinions, mutations as the catalyst for evolution, ect) The answers to ALL these questions/examples you have given are all easily answered on the website creation dot com, like, literally all of them. It's up to you to look them up, because if you really are looking for the truth, you can save me a lot of time by looking it up yourself, which I hope you do :).
Let me finish by saying everybody has a belief system, and it is often based on one's view of origins. I could give you a list of scientists in ALL fields that deny the evolutionary theory outright. This list is of course on creation dot com.
I also wonder if this debate is pointless, because I ask myself if you had the chance, WOULD you ask a creation scientist (for example, Dr. Jonathan Sarfati) to explain their worldview to you, as you did the evolutionist?
@skihas1 it is not about listening to the other party because let's face it, all through history different beliefs were held and had absolute power. The ones who wanted to test their knowledge empirically were prosecuted. Science is all about looking in every angle and making theories that can be proven wrong. By making that fail-safe, we are able to renew the theories and become more knowledgeable. And I find that your articles are well written, but empirically void. It's all simple speculation
@skihas1 I would in all honesty, I have even read quite a few articles on your much-promoted website. :)
I've read things that often showed a lack of understanding, or a twisting of facts or denial of others, I've also read some sensible things but that by no means falsify evolution.
@skihas1 I also like how so much scientific evidence and research is under sharp scrutiny of people who say Noah's Ark was a fact, for which no evidence or even sensible explanation is needed obviously. ;)
Your entire belief system rests on things that cannot in the slightest be proven, yet you scrutinize the most logical and proven theories by feverishly trying to find the gaps. If we were to turn the tables here, needless to say you have nothing to stand on but faith.
@skihas1 and you mention that there are scientists who believe in it? Sure, some also believe in ghosts. Not only do the vast majority of scientists not believe as you believe, many theologists, priests and even the Pope find the ideas behind creationism absurd.
I'm not going to debate this anymore with you, cause I don't believe you're interested in exploring possibilities, I think this is your faith, and that it's your right. I think you're also wrong, and that's mine. :)
On creation dot com there are two articles: "ghosts in the rocks" and "The fossil record
Becoming more random all the time". Since you have asked for an example of one fossil being out of order (and that this would renounce your worldview) I urge you to read them.
Both the uniformitarian and the creationist BOTH look at the information, what matters is the interpretation of that info, and I'm sorry but your interpretation is wrong.
FINAL final words, please read the two articles, and browse the site (type your 5 topics into the search bar maybe), give the other side of the fence a look, this is the only way to search for truth.
Love your two channels, tell furious to ease off mocking the creationists (even though it will bring him youtube popularity), God bless, and keep the videos coming.
Well it is a fact that humans are getting bigger and bigger genitalias and women also are getting bigger breasts. We are also entering puberty at a earlier age and we are also getting taller, so yes humans are evolving. But I beliave that humans in a distant future will become small due too overpopulation that makes a appocalypse that also means that the smallest survives.

this is not necessarily survival, although survival is an aspect of it. the reality is that evolution is fuelled not by survival but by reproduction. A person can live twice as long but have half as many children, and hence their genes would become less common in the next generation. Evolution is happening as we speak, by those who have the most progeny, regardless of the fact that everyone survives.

Sure, it's more likely, but it has NOTHING to do with genes.
It is simply the fact that the greater level of knowledge will be passed on to the offspring (in general) It really has nothing to do with genes.

@777Semper To answer your question, yes, I do know what DNA is. I might ask you the same thing, because frankly, your logic is flawed and your analogy is incorrect. However, you're right, the Theory of Evolution has not been, and will likely never be, proven. That's why it's called the Theory of Evolution.
@MrXeonicz I never said we didn't.
treefrog821 4 months ago
@treefrog821 The Theory of Evolution is a "theory" yes.. But it is very much proven, we have detailed theories about how almost everything evolved, and only people who can't accept facts doesn't see this. We understand "The Theory of Evolution" better than we understand "Theory of Gravity", however there was never written a book that said "And god created gravity, cause the earth liked the humans, and wanted them to stay close to it."
Naturefade 4 months ago
@treefrog821 I know what it is, and I looked it up again but it still consisted of Nucleic acids which are written down as letters A,G,C and T (or U in RNA). and like I said it's a book or maybe its better to describe it as a blueprint to make Proteins. and here is the fun part the only way to make RNA is with proteins but the only way to make proteins is by RNA. but sadly that's called evolution, I don't say creationism doesn't have all the answers, but evolution has a lot unfilled gaps

@777Semper I'm sorry, but you are wrong. You are referring to the 2nd law of thermodynamics, and it only applies for a closed system.. And the earth is not a closed system!
and about DNA being spontaneous formed, no ofcourse it wasn't... It's an evolved form of RNA.But the reason the "Theory of Evolution" is a theory and always will be, is because we can't travel back in time and record what actually happend. So we might be wrong, but scientific facts > book written 2000 years ago any day.
Naturefade 4 months ago
@Naturefade with 2nd law of thermodynamics I mean the universe. if there isn't another dimension (for God) then it's supposed to be a closed system right? for where should things come from if there isn't someone who creates it? for example if you get some clay it doesn't form itself to pottery. RNA spontaneous formed you get the idea. I wonder if you think the bible was written in a couple of years or even less time it was written over more than 2000 years with facts we discovered only recently

I think humans always existed but intellectually they were so far behind that it was almost a joke. And due to that, I think it was a term that some of these unintellectual beings were acting like 'apes' like 'beasts in the wild' and past through history until someone got word of it down the line of intellect that actually comprehended it and took it literal, therefore would cause all this 'Evolution from Ape' talk
InvalidToLife 5 months ago
My opinion, I could be wrong. I'm open minded in all aspects but to say we evolved from monkey.. or ape just b/c they can't seem to come up with another explanation seems rather dull. Or maybe... They rather not change all the books in history they wrote due to they were wrong.
InvalidToLife 5 months ago
If I came from a monkey, I should be able to fuck a monkey and make an offspring, that is NOT true though therefore not true that we evolved from Monkey. Other species can mate with their evolution tree line and have a high chance at an offspring, creating new species. They can mate with there older tree line and sometimes other species.. Evolution is very straight forward. If you can mate with it and create an offspring, more then likely in some way we are the Evolved Version. DNA doesn't mix.

"natural selection is simply about those who HAPPEN to survive." That's right. And if it weren't for our interference with people who are at a disadvantage health-wise, then they wouldn't "happen" to survive. One example: People who have deadly cancers and are treated and beat it don't just HAPPEN to survive, they do because of our interference (I'll use that word for now) by creating cures for it.

@Torul I fully accept that people have different beliefs (note how I spelled beliefs correctly) and differing views on things, and I never said anything contrary to that in my comment.
And while I don't have extensive knowledge on evolution, I do grasp a decent understanding of what it is, and how it works, however, my post did not make any mention, nor was hinting at some statement of me claiming to have some superior knowledge of evolution.
I was simply stating that most people accept it.
rrpjdisc 5 months ago 2
@rrpjdisc No, you did not 'simply state that most people accept it', you insulted people who don't understand it or refuse to. That is my main problem with your comment. I know you didn't state any superior knowledge of evolution , but you clearly, intentionally or not, implied that you and all those who understand and accept evolution are superior, by calling the rest idiots. You talked about prompting pointless comments, well yours is one of the worst once, the one that insults people.

@Torul
I wasn't calling people who didn't understand it idiots, but yes, people who refuse to believe it, are in fact idiots, and I'll call them that as much as I like.

And you chose to start a pointless back-and-forth when you decided to reply to my first comment.
rrpjdisc 5 months ago 2
@rrpjdisc I have to agree with Torul on this one; in particular you thinking that people who refuse to believe in evolution are idiots, is implying you're too narrow-minded to not be considered an idiot yourself. Five hundred years ago no body would've believed Evolution, and people were idiots for not believing what the church said. Now you say that Evolution is the new answer and people who don't believe that are idiots. What'll be like 500 years from now? Perhaps we are the idiots.
Galloh 5 months ago
@Galloh
500 years from now evolution is going to be just like gravity, and no one will reject it anymore, because in that time we'll have just even more and more proof of it, even though we already have so much of it that we don't even need any more.
And sorry but I'm just militant about this topic, so I'm going to use harsh words, because people who don't think that evolution happens are usually 100% close-minded religious nutcases who don't even try to listen to what you have to say.
rrpjdisc 5 months ago
@rrpjdisc And 500 years ago people thought that in 2011 Creationism wouldn't be rejected anymore either (because there were already people rejecting it) and people would stop believing in nonsense like things we presently call Evolution. So in that same sense, you're no different from the people 500 years ago...
I'm not advocating Creationism is right and I agree with your effort; I'm trying to open people's minds; just like you do. But now I'm trying to open yours as well.
Galloh 5 months ago
@Galloh Okay, sure 500 years ago some people thought that in 2011 creationism wouldn't be rejected anyomore, but so what?
Maybe in 500 years everyone will say that evolution is a lie, although that's extremely unlikely to happen.
I simply find it our job to try to get the few remaining people in the country who close their minds to even the idea of evolution to open their eyes.
And what do you mean trying to "open yours as well", I'm simply more militant about the topic.
rrpjdisc 5 months ago
@rrpjdisc And I support your case. I definitely do. I was simply stating that if you were to go and say that Evolution is the >absolute truth< you're no different from the people who you are trying to change. But I see you changed it to "it's unlikely evolution will be a lie" which shows skepticism of one's own believes which was my only interest :). After all, that's the only way to open one's eyes. That's all I wanted to say :).
Galloh 5 months ago
@Galloh
I was never saying it was absolute truth, but there's enough evidence of it now, for it be on the same level as the theory of gravity in validity.
And yes, I am a skeptic about everything, so you don't need to try to open my eyes to that.
rrpjdisc 5 months ago
@rrpjdisc Okay, good :). Your first comments didn't really radiate skepticism in your own believes while you asked for that from others. That's all.
Galloh 5 months ago
@rrpjdisc I said that you didn't state any superior knowledge AND THEN I said that you implied that anyone who understands and accepts evolution is superior, NOT 'superior knowledge' just superior as in better then others.
So it's not about me making my mind up it's just a missunderstanding on your part.
My point is when both sides call each other idiots for believing or not in evolution, then it's very pointless. More pointless than arguing with eachother with facts,point of views etc.

If you don't accept evolution, then that's a problem enough for sane people to challenge those idiots, by either calling them idiots and trying to explain, or just trying to explain without any name-calling. Either way, doesn't really bother me, as I've said before -- I'm somewhat militant about this.

The natural selection doesn't apply much to humans anymore, that's right. But there's still sexual selection. Nearly everyone survives, but only the most attractive humans have children and their genes transfered to the next generation. So we'll get more attractive humans by this evolution.

The camera eye (the one we have) gives such powerful evolutionary advantages that it has evolved several times independently in different species.

Your example of eyesight in fish is an example of DE-VOLUTION, yet again, you have yet to provide evidence of an information-gaining mutation, as a matter of fact, nobody has. The DNA has simply been dropped as a result of natural selective forces.
Yes, natural selection allows for blind fish to speciate and survive, but doesn't explain the eye origin itself. There is no mechanism known that can do this. Go to creation dot com for details on this, tell your mum :)

@DeanLeysen
Any improvement in an animal’s genetic endowment as part of the supposed evolutionary process requires the incorporation of more information in its genome. This, as a spontaneous phenomenon, i.e. without intelligent intervention, has yet to be observed or reproduced experimentally and so remains a supposition, not an established fact.
skihas1 5 months ago
@DeanLeysen Observed mutations have never generated new information but, rather, they represent corruption of the genetic data, i.e. there is a loss of information ----> the example you have provided. It's not denial, I suspect you have obtained your evidence from dawkins book "the blind watchmaker" or something like that (eye evolving in increments). Go to creation dot com for a detailed explanation on why Dawkins view is completely flawed. Tell your mum too :)

@skihas1 in an experiment where lizards were moved from one island to another, with different vegetation and habitats, they grew entire new body parts (inner valves) as well as a larger head, and I even believe different teeth, within a timespan of 12-20 years.
Your argument isn't just silly, it is plain wrong, and has been proven wrong several times in similar experiments. Your propaganda here is based on plain denial, mate.

@DeanLeysen The thing with science is that it's another medium used as a control mechanism and is in many ways much like religion.
The thing with Christianity though, is that there is such a thing as 'sanctity of life', where as with Darwinism's 'survival of the fittest', there seems to be a lot less respect for any form of life but the strongest.
I'm neither religious nor scientific though.

LOL a quick search reveals: in this experiment Italian wall lizards (P.sicula) actually have the genes for cecal valves in the original parent population. These genes are pre-existing but "not expressed" until now.
Full DNA testing/genome sequencing has been done on both the populations. This sequencing/testing shows the genes for the cecal valves are in both populations but they are "turned off" in the "parent" population.

@skihas1 then what about experiments where E. Coli has been over the course of tens (maybe hundreds) of short-lived generations been mutated to feed on entirely different sources (citrate, I believe.) There is a whole list of experiments like this. But even this isn't necessary to prove evolution, the list of facts is extensive, and mostly ignored by creationists, not dealt with.

@skihas1 fossils never show up out of order, not once, fossil records show clear evolution, various kinds of radiometric dating show their age, tested to extreme accuracy (half-lives of radioactive materials never change, this has also been proven; creationists simply say "Oh but they must change to fit our beliefs," and then go on to Noah's Ark to explain fossils. Kudos. ;))

@skihas1 As for information in the genome, that in itself is a silly argument that makes no sense if you read a book on DNA. I have indulged you in this by asking several experienced biologists, who all say that genetic evolution is 100% proven and explicable, and the question of "information increase in the genome" in itself shows a grave lack of understanding of DNA.

@skihas1 Your DNA is fundamentally the same as that of a worm, the alphabet of nucleotides does not change. Putting them together in different orders is what creates different structures, and the orders change gradually through mutation.
If you acknowledge the existence of mutations, and the fact that DNA is the same throughout the animal kingdom; saying you can't rearrange the letters to make different words is quite absurd.

@skihas1 You could say you need 'more' of the same letters, since man has more mass than a worm obviously, but this is an open system. Breathing, feeding and interacting with the environment exchanges elements all the time. Your "information increase" argument would make sense if every organism was a closed system.
As it is now however, asking the question alone is embarrassing to any biologist. :)

@DeanLeysen
This switching on and off of genes is very common in life forms.
Propaganda? You don't see me pumping out videos on evidence for creationism. Clearly evolution is run PURELY on propaganda (like this), since the science behind it is so feeble (as you are showing). I guess if I believed like you, I would hope it's true too.
So we are abandoning sightless fish and jumping to Italian wall lizards? Putting your fingers in your ears?
Sorry, no disrespect, I just strongly disagree.

@skihas1 I'm all for debate, and I respect and even think about the things you say. You might even be right about the example of the lizards, I have no issue admitting that; I'm not here to stubbornly propagate something but to look at all the information. What I mean by propaganda is linking the site in every comment like you're handing out flyers. That's not a debate, it's advertizing.

@skihas1 what I would like to ask you, skihas, and I ask this in all respect because you are entitled to your faith, is if this debate is pointless. Is there anything that could possibly make you revise your beliefs, or are you very tied to them?
Because I can safely say, if for instance one fossil showed up out of order, a big fish in the precambrian era, I would renounce my views on evolution instantly, I'm merely looking at the information. I respect it if you simply value your faith though

@DeanLeysen
I've noticed you've started 5 new topics (E.coli, the fossil record, radiometric dating, certain biologists opinions, mutations as the catalyst for evolution, ect) The answers to ALL these questions/examples you have given are all easily answered on the website creation dot com, like, literally all of them. It's up to you to look them up, because if you really are looking for the truth, you can save me a lot of time by looking it up yourself, which I hope you do :).

Let me finish by saying everybody has a belief system, and it is often based on one's view of origins. I could give you a list of scientists in ALL fields that deny the evolutionary theory outright. This list is of course on creation dot com.
I also wonder if this debate is pointless, because I ask myself if you had the chance, WOULD you ask a creation scientist (for example, Dr. Jonathan Sarfati) to explain their worldview to you, as you did the evolutionist?

@skihas1 it is not about listening to the other party because let's face it, all through history different beliefs were held and had absolute power. The ones who wanted to test their knowledge empirically were prosecuted. Science is all about looking in every angle and making theories that can be proven wrong. By making that fail-safe, we are able to renew the theories and become more knowledgeable. And I find that your articles are well written, but empirically void. It's all simple speculation

@skihas1 I would in all honesty, I have even read quite a few articles on your much-promoted website. :)
I've read things that often showed a lack of understanding, or a twisting of facts or denial of others, I've also read some sensible things but that by no means falsify evolution.
DeanLeysen 5 months ago
@skihas1 I also like how so much scientific evidence and research is under sharp scrutiny of people who say Noah's Ark was a fact, for which no evidence or even sensible explanation is needed obviously. ;)
Your entire belief system rests on things that cannot in the slightest be proven, yet you scrutinize the most logical and proven theories by feverishly trying to find the gaps. If we were to turn the tables here, needless to say you have nothing to stand on but faith.
DeanLeysen 5 months ago
@skihas1 and you mention that there are scientists who believe in it? Sure, some also believe in ghosts. Not only do the vast majority of scientists not believe as you believe, many theologists, priests and even the Pope find the ideas behind creationism absurd.
I'm not going to debate this anymore with you, cause I don't believe you're interested in exploring possibilities, I think this is your faith, and that it's your right. I think you're also wrong, and that's mine. :)

@DeanLeysen
On creation dot com there are two articles: "ghosts in the rocks" and "The fossil record
Becoming more random all the time". Since you have asked for an example of one fossil being out of order (and that this would renounce your worldview) I urge you to read them.
Both the uniformitarian and the creationist BOTH look at the information, what matters is the interpretation of that info, and I'm sorry but your interpretation is wrong.

FINAL final words, please read the two articles, and browse the site (type your 5 topics into the search bar maybe), give the other side of the fence a look, this is the only way to search for truth.
Love your two channels, tell furious to ease off mocking the creationists (even though it will bring him youtube popularity), God bless, and keep the videos coming.
TELL YOUR MUM!! <3

@DeanLeysen Can you direct me to the study you referenced about the lizards, sounds interesting and I could spread the good word of science.
