It might be worth it to change 'Theory' to another word. It seems to be too confusing to the layperson that the word should be the same as the every day usage 'theory'.
It's also too often used by creation apologists in the 'It's just a Theory!' ace-in-the-hole.
@EthanNin0 I Agree, lets create an additional rung on the scientific hypothesis latter. Let's call it "PRIEATF": Peer-Reviewed, Ireftuable Explanation According to Fact. I believe Evolution would fall into this category quite well.
@AronRa I think I'm suffering from Evolution Information Overload! I just finished all of your videos and I was amazed at the amount of information contained. It will take me months to re-examine it all in depth for my own comprehension. Thank you for making them. Awesome stuff. I love your guest spots on Athiest Exp. Again, thank you for giving rational people the information they need to counter ingnorance and the uneducated.
Fantastic series showcasing the FACT of evolution. Well done! It's astonishing that people can still refute evolution even in the face of such an overwhelming body of evidence. I'm glad there are still champions like you on evolution's side. I've given up arguing about it long ago (too tedious). For me the core of the argument is between "belief" and "what is". I've stopped using the word "believe" in the same context as "science". Scientists do not "believe", they study things that "are".
@ebenviper True. Scientists study things that "are", and those things that "are" we know to be "facts", have DISPROVEN the shameless embarrassment to the human race known as "Creationism".
What happens when there is an evolutionary version of the theory of relativity's neutrino. You know, something that defies a basic assumption (that no matter travels faster than the speed of light). What happens when some piece of evidence defies the evolutionary status quo? welp i guess evolution would have to be revised wouldnt it? i sure hope that doesnt happen cuz this whole fact, fact, fact thing would kinda seem silly
Firstly, the recent problem with the neutrino was solved. The movement of the GPS satellites in relation to their own broadcasted signal is almost always negligible (orbital velocity vs. speed of light), but in this case it needed to be factored in. The results were replicated and counting this term in the calculation predicts the error almost exactly.
"What happens when some piece of evidence defies the evolutionary status quo?"
Just like with relativity, it's extremely unlikely that any data set would arise that would totally and utterly reverse a modern scientific theory. Just like how relativity didn't reverse Newtonian gravity; it merely modified and improved it. Science has gotten to the point where damn near every discovery is merely the resolution of a kink rather than a complete conceptual change. Ideas that could suffer from a reversal are generally not considered theories.
Why do these fools so want to believe in "Absolutism", absolute truth........we, of thinking minds set our own truths. Truth is a concept to explain what we understand and know, if more information or new information is found then this changes our understanding and hence the truth. How we perceive the universe is limited to how we create the constructs of our reality.
@AronRa I feel bad for you man, constantly, having to tell people, "The clip at [time] comes from [blabla]," when you could be using that time to make more awesome videos...by the way, are you doing any major events or conferences that could be up on youtube? I loved your talk in Ireland with Dawkins, and always look for you but never find anything!
@grodzilla2 I have had a lot of 'real life' things going on in the last few months. I do intend to make another video series, but I always have other tasks and errands at-hand eating up all my time.
Wonderful video. Congratulations!!!! (you could speak a little slower, but it is a pretty mature form of presenting to religious people undeniable facts).
m-theory / infinite multi-dimensional theories bridge the gap of belief between religion and science, and it only took quantum mechanics to peer into them. So if that is true there are alternate realities like in that video "The Universe - Multiverse Parallel Universes / Full Documentary HD" who's to say what anyone says is not possible somewhere out there? Obviously believing in those science theories takes a leap of faith.
According to scientific theories (m-theory / infinite multi-dimensional theories etc.) bubble universes could possibly exist with different laws of physics, alternate universes might even be the bible universe word for word with purple people where evolution doesn't exist and creationism does exist. According to Michio Kaku... "The Universe - Multiverse Parallel Universes / Full Documentary HD" science explains how any religion might be real out there, IMO
@Dideamon99 a universe in wich the bible is true word by word (in the literal sense i mean) would be quite difficult to imagine, i mean a universe in wich an entity with a will that controls the laws of physics, well, an entity that is the ONLY law would contradict the theory itself! according to christian religion, god answers only to his own will, he is not sbujugated to any phisical law, but but the theory of multiple coexistant universes is based upon the law of physics, and that means ....
@Dideamon99 that God would be caused by the Physical laws that determined the existance of his universe,
but God is the cause of everything, and he is not caused by anything! and religion is quite clear about that! and so, the god that you imagined could exist in an alternative universe would not be the God described by the bible, and that means that the bible is not true word by word! even the multiple universe theory contradicts the bible!
If I may ask a question. Around the 8 minuet mark, you talk about the Big Bang and I think you even stare it was the beginning of our universe. I always thought it was beginning of our universe *as we know it.*. The matter of the Big Bang didn't just appear, which means the universe always existed, just not in the form that we know it. Ok, so maybe that wasn't much of a question :) I'm not fruit to argue
It's always amazing that the same people that claim they follow a system of morality will continually lie to get their agenda across while the people they denounce as immoral go through strenuous tests to make sure that they are telling the truth.
@AronRa So? Is DragonSlayer one those movies that (intentionally or un-intentionally) promotes creation? Or was it just a fantasy movie just playing at fantasy for fantasy-sake?
@Yujifanik Dragonslayer actually criticized Christianity a bit, while seeming to promote paganism. It didn't really do that either. In the end, the sorcerer's apprentice gives up on magic.
Genetic information (DNA), like other forms of information, can't happen by chance, so it's more logical to believe that genetic similarities between all forms of life are due to a common Designer who designed similar functions for similar purposes. It doesn't mean all forms of life are biologically related! Read my Internet articles under my name: Babu G. Ranganathan
NATURAL LIMITS TO EVOLUTION: Evolution within "kinds" is genetically possible in nature (i.e. varieties of dogs, cats, etc.), but not evolution across "kinds" (i.e. from worm to human). Species couldn't have survived while their vital tissues, organs, biological systems were still evolving. Read my Pravda Internet article: WAR AMONG EVOLUTIONISTS! I discuss: Punctuated Equilibrium, "Junk DNA," genetics, mutations, natural selection, fossils, genetic/biological similarities between species.
@Mogley52 Who are you to set limits to Evolution and Evolutionary Theory? Source of this wild claim? Or did you pull it out of your ass / creationist website? There is no such thing as a "kind". All I have to say is "ring species", and leave you to your shame. Stop being a waste of Oxygene. If you assert these things, submit them as a paper for peer review instead of spamming creationist comments on Youtube.
My freakin' brain wants to explode every time I hear an argument against evolution. I won't even discuss it in depth because I simply haven't studied enough about it to give in depth knowledge about it. Even without that it is still such an easy concept to understand. Why do they believe this has anything to do with "origins"? Is it only because of the title of Darwin's book, or is it simply that they can't figure out how to meld it with the magic of creation?
AronRa's videos are fantastic... I just had an epiphany, that in linking their faith so closely to the creationist fairy tales and setting Evolution as being Atheist, the religious have just set themselves up for failure and destruction. The more Evolution becomes proven over and over again, the more creationists look stupid wrong and ignorant.
By setting up Evolution as the punch bag, they have inadvertently signed their own death warrant of faith!
Amazing Job! This should be required watching material for all children and their parents! Facts! Killing deity's like like bugs to a semi's headlight.
@AronRa Religious dogma has been scared into them and it's like a fish hook in their brains. They fear eternal damnation for dieing with wrong ideas in their head. It's like overcoming PTSD. One has to be brave enough to face the unknown as the unknown and get engaged in an active search for what this life is all about. They are in the way of maximizing human potential.
@AronRa It's resistance reflex; we instinctively resist change. Ideas that are acquired as language is being acquired seem to be effectively hardwired in and especially difficult to let go of. This what drives what occurs as stubbornness in religious zealots. religiousogma has been scr
@AronRa Everyone should watch movie called Jesus Camp. It shows the shameful and idiotic indoctrination that so many kids are subjected to that leave people intellectually stunted like @jacosoft666. I'm telling you, he's a victim. The movie is streamable on Netflix, thrown in freebie. Besides force-feeding developing young minds, many other simply have a lifetime invested in this dogmatic way of thinking and it seems too late to cut their losses.
@AronRa Everyone should check out Peter Russell and his contemporaries. He discusses the implications of quantum physics and global awakening, and the primacy of consciousness. There is an evolution of consciousness that either parallels or drives biological evolution. We are just learning what it all means and what we are capable of. We must stop fighting tom realize our full potential, and giving up ancient superstitions and dogma is a necessary step. That is why the work you've done her
@AronRa I actually watched the entire series. It was excellent. It should be shown in all schools and churches as well. I can't help but view these creationists as victims of indoctrination who need to be saved from their ignorance. The human race needs to grow up and wake up so we can save ourselves from ourselves.
AronRa great ass video, Yesterday a bunch of Jehovas Witnesses knocked on my door telling me that i must convert because the world was over and someone is comming back, Got into a great argument, cause I had time to waste. I made the head pastor or brother to accept he was picking n choosing from the bible and that evolution can be proven. Actually I think I made 2 or 3 "missionaries" to doubt what they were preaching. Thanks to your great vids and matt dilahunty great show, keep up
I actually just got the "science PROVED the universe had a beginning!!!" argument from a creationist who of course rejects the BB. He also tried to convince me that the second law of thermodynamics yadayadayada...
Im noticing that stupidity seems to have a pattern...
AronRa, you've used several clips from a film that is clearly illustrating Darwin and his struggles against the skeptics in getting his ideas accepted. What is that film, sir?
9:09 "This company sees nothing wrong with messing with nature..."
Well, I think nature is already pretty adapt in "messing" with itself. And mankind has always tampered with things which could be viewed as being "natural". Like curing dieseases we normally would have died from (which is also the function these goats have). Besides; I don´t think the goat minds eating and producing milk all day long:)
There are so very few voices of reason out there. So thank you for adding yours to the fight against the anti-science of Creationism/Intelligent design.
An Unbelievbly great series! You have nailed it! You have a great deal of patience to try to prove that evolution is TRUE! But none of the religious people will ever open their eyes for they are just "sheep" being led by their "sheperds' through life. My wife is one but I will not let that thinking continue with my children. They have a right to know the truth for all its good & bad! Religion was written (by MAN) to enslave and instill fear to all humankind for the benefits of a few.
Love your video's AronRa, but are you sure that Fred Hoyle was a creationist. He certainly seemed to be a contrary old fart, but not completely off his rocker.
i just came across your series of videos in the past hour or so, and i must say that i have fallen in love with them. the way you showcase the facts makes them very easy to understand, and it is obvious that you are knowledgeable in the subjects you are speaking about (unlike the creationists, but that's a different story). so, i would just like to say thank you, aron-ra, for your series and i hope to continue watching your videos and learning from them.
Well done. I'm sure it took some time to do these videos so well and to synchronize them so tightly. All in all, very well done. Should be required viewing.
God bless AronRa for taking the, no doubt, tremendous time and effort to put this wonderful series of videos together! -An Atheist now much more understanding of Evolutionary Theory thanks to you!
This is garbage i have seen so much evidence and facts that are against evolution. Watch exposing darwinism Google it. It is over 48 hour documentary that shows evolution is just a bloody turd in the bucket waiting to be flushed
@jacosoft666 "Watch exposing darwinism Google it. It is over 48 hour documentary that shows evolution is just a bloody turd in the bucket waiting to be flushed"
By 48 documentary do you mean that it was made in 48 hours?
@jacosoft666 ANY documentary that has to be put into 48 hours can't be factual IMO. Was this documentary, perhaps, done by creationists? Hold on, I'll look... Well most of the links are to a creationist propaganda book, there's one youtube link to the Nebraska Man (NOT a Darwin discovery) and nothing on a 48 hour documentary. Please enlighten us with a link to this mythological documentary. Or is it only available to those blessed few who have found enlightenment through the bible?
fucen a man mutation can be caused by lack of circulation during pregnancy. Sorry dude and the fossil evidence is missing over six links. Everything you have said at the end of this video is is not fact except for one item and that is that dna has been manipulated. and that is not proof that evolution exists it proves that our dna is able to be genetically mutated. Same effect can happen through radiation. etc etc.
You can not create life out of an inaminate object only God can do that. Only God can create life out of soemthing like dust. The big bang and the origin of life were taken from the bible and sooped up to make people to believe.
you can prove dna and use it for your advantage you can give flys an extra pair of wings with the right genetic manipulation but that does not mean we evolved over time starting out as fucing single celled organism than in to fish than magically in to land than to the mouse than an ape. Evolution states we evolve to survive. Well if we came from monkeys lol why are they still living
Anyone who believes in this goofey stuff needs to get a life and think for themself
Your monkey comment would make sense if evolution was a straight line. But in reality it's a very complicated tree. So, imagine a family tree... you and your cousin have the same ancestor - your grandfather, so if I ask you this, what would you say?
"If you and your cousin came from the same place, why does your cousin still exist?"
@PatRibsey I see where your question is coming from and if you had watched the series in the entirety it would have been answered. Let me see if I can answer this for you. 1) the evolutionary line you present is too short of a time frame for either of the resulting lines to die out. 2) In most cases a species, breed, etc... will die out out due to factors such as predatory increases, lack of food, competition for habitat, or natural disaster (see dinosaurs, dodo, Neanderthal, etc...)
@jacosoft666 we STILL start life as single cell organisms you twit! What the hell do you think an embryo is?! From the fusion of sperm and egg you get an embryo, a NEW single cell organism, that EVOLVES into a human baby. And evolution does NOT state that we evolve to survive. Evolution adapts traits best suited to our surroundings and strengthens them over generations, thus changing us slowly into other creatures. Pick up a science book and READ it. HELL watch this video series!
@jacosoft666 If you think evolution contradicts another theory or any natural laws, list each one, and explain why you imagine there is any contradiction. Expose your misunderstanding so that it can be corrected.
This bozo emphatically claims its a fact but there is no evidence for any increase in order/information thru matural processes nor is the anyone that has ever witnessed it. He takes adaptation which is already programmed into the genome by Intelligent design and uses that to support mutations and natural selection. God lets yall believe in evolution and at the judgment will show that it was all a scheme to eliminate God. God will be so justified in sending all of u to hell.
@j919or "God lets yall believe in evolution and at the judgment will show that it was all a scheme to eliminate God. God will be so justified in sending all of u to hell." The scheme to eliminate god is working and the "not so" big guy can't do a thing about it. His only defense is a numbnut like you, which isn't much.
@j919or Adaptation is programmes into the genome? Then, what is the gene called that makes mutations happen? What is the gene called that selects or determines what kind of change is to be made?
From what I´ve heard, any change in the dna happens on a random basis. How does the dna control this variation, all by itself?
You do realize that hell is a misunderstanding? Even the pope doesnt believe in it. The scriptures talked about a bonfire on which to throw corpses. Not some sort of cave.
@j919or This series did repeatedly present evidence for the evolutionary increase in complexity and listed dozens of occassions where that was directly observed. I also explained multiple times how evolution does not violate the 2LoT and even cited the author of that law in his admission of that. If you think it does, then you understand neither evolution nor thermodynamics either. Yet you call me a bozo?

wow these atheist are out of there mind christians never believed diseases came from demons atheists are so ignorant. Most of the chapter of leviticus which was written over 4 thousand bc Gives quarentines on how to keep diseases away. I have met so many atheists who just don't have a clue
@jacosoft666 You say no Christian ever believed that diseases were caused by demons? The founder of Protestant Christianity believed that and said so as a matter of public record. Yet you call me ignorant? Also, the consensus among Biblical scholars is that the oldest book in the Bible, Job, was composed around 1500 BCE, and that Leviticus is much younger.
@AronRa that may be true but moses had God giving him his information about the past so Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, and the other 61 books are all historical facts!
@jacosoft666 Maybe you should get a clue and actually read the your bible before you type you ignorant moron. Thanks to science not embracing a bullshit creationist viewpoint we actually have evidence and facts that leads to medicines and understanding. If christians had it their way we'd still be living in the dark ages.
I've watched this video series through so many times now, they are truly brilliant. All the uploads on this channel are. I spread them around whenever I can. While I'm here I'll just point out a typo - I'm pretty sure the graphic at 3:25 should read 'diluvial' hydroplates.
Have you ever considered doing podcasts, AronRa? I think small Skeptoid-esque science bites would be awesome and I'm sure everyone would love them.
Thank you very much AronRa, that was a most informative series: the Music Theory analogy I will particularly remember for those that claim evolution is "just" a theory.
@bernlin2000 ALL HAIL ARONRA !!!!! he is the new GOD of evolution.. lmfao. listen sheep. this video was made 2 years ago, and already there has been 1000's of new claims and research that does not follow everything on his videos. thru time and inventions and innovations, we will know more and our beliefs will change time and time again. So please stop proving what an ass you are by dumping on people who know things that you will never open your mind to understand.
It's taken me a few days to watch this and I'll be re-watching it as well. I just want to say, from someone who is very interested in the whole topic of evolution and everything to do with it - you've put into words and expounded on my thoughts better than I ever could. And for that, I seriously love you. Well, not in a creepy sort of love, but.. well you know.
I paused the video while I left the room to get coffee. When I returned, I clicked to restart the video, but accidentally hit the dislike button. Sorry about that.
why do creationists refer to a "creator" when talking about I.D. as if we dont know which "creator" theyre referring to. we all know the "creator" theyre talking about is yaweh, so why do they say "creator" almost as if to make it easier to swallow?
I sometimes wish creationists would just fall off the earth (I'm speaking metaphorically not voicing a belief in falt earthism) but if there weren't dribbling buffoons like them out there, AronRa wouldn't have needed to make this truly brilliant series. So, sometimes creationists have their uses.
@AronRa I doff my hat to you. That was a tour de force! I learned a lot. Thank you for the huge effort on your part that this production clearly entailed. If your aim is to sway rather than ridicule, it might be better to present evolution and to preempt counter-arguments without even mentioning religion or creationists. To debate them at all, in my view, gives them an altogether undeserved recognition and voice. Besides, direct criticism only causes people to stop really hearing what you say.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I still find it funny that you were that pissed off at the texas school boards that made you decide to make these videos. I still dont believe everything that you have stated in your videos as "fact". If evolution were systematic, then we would see new human species with 4 arms/hands to keep up the pace with society. To state that the genome factors are concurrent and have a base.. with that base being coral. I think that scientists have become so full of themselves that they are blinded.
@zeineguy You mean like the Hansel twins? Really, if you are asking those kinds of questions, you better go learn the theory, then come back with your arguments.
PS: The most basal animal is the sponge, not the coral.
@danoso0931 conjoined twins are not an evolutionary line unless it can be repeated within a generation lineage and non generation lineage. seriously? It was also sarcasm, so maybe you need to look that up too. Maybe we are at the end of our usage and there is no more evolving?? so then i guess from all evolution endings, we are in line for a major catastrophic event to kill off most of the planet. and then only to start a "new" evolving planet with millions of different NEW species.
@gregrutz I fully understand what evolution is. but because i question what is stated, I have no understanding. i guess i am not a sheep like you and follow everything i read or hear from someone as truth. There are HOLES , HUGE FUCKING HOLES, in the evolution theories. but no one wants to actually question it. when I ask questions.. no one has the answer.. why? because NO ONE fucking KNOWS> fuck we even see people disputing that Jesus walked the earth and that was only 2010 yrs ago.
Anyway so what that holes exist. Ever since Darwin wrote the origin of species, there has only been evidence found in favor of the theory. The theory has been improved where needed. Same happens in all fields of science. To take physics for example. Newtonian physics have been found to be incorrect/incomplete. Yet you can still use them perfectly for a lot of cases here on earth, or on other planets for that matter.
@Zalastras please read the above post and then just think about what you are standing up for. Sorry if i dont go back and make sure he is correct as I only remember 4 mass extinctions in the past. WHICH by the way no one KNOWs what really happened.. only guesses. and then tell me about how evolution works again? thanks for your time and please stop wasting mine.
@zeineguy i had made another post, but i had problems yesterday posting. You think you understand evolution, yet your comment about people growing another pair of limbs indicates you do not. Mutations happen in genes. These mutations are always small. If you're looking for changes in humans you need to look for seemingly insignifacant changes. Humans have grown much taller in the last few generations. Also we're getting rid of our wisdom teeth.
@zeineguy A big asteroid crashed into what is now Mexico. This event had major effects on the global climate due to the impact heavily polluting the atmosphere. The creatures that weren't killed by the impact of the asteroid had to deal with this changing climate. Many couldn't, and even if some dinosaurs wouldn't have been effected at first they would later due to lack of food.
Also in a sort of way dinosaurs didnt die out completely as todays birds are their descendants.

@zeineguy Only the large dinosaurs died off, we still have the ones with feathers. There have been 6 major mass extinctions in the past, who knows what caused them. 50 - 90 % of life suddenly died off. Most species that have lived on the earth are extinct. It is not 'survival of the fittest as much as 'most die off'
@gregrutz Thanks for the post. This is what I ask people who believe evolution explains everything. If the last mass extinction happened.. then theoritically that would mean that the millions of species we have on the planet now are "NEW" species. they may have connections to the pre extinct species, but I still think that most people dont question this enough. another subject that is never discussed is alien species from meteors and space debris that lands on our planet.
@zeineguy Yes these are new species evolved from those that didnt die out during the mass extinction. Small mammals already existed when the dinosaurs ruled the earth. They were small, had the habbit of hiding underground and didnt need as much food.
If you're really interested in understanding evolution and seeking for currently unanswered questions, check the channel of "whyevolutionistrue" It is a very good collection of documentaries and other good informative footage.
@zeineguy If you believe that humans should suddenly grow extra limbs, then take a look at my series on Falsifying Phylogeny. Also try to understand that evolution is dependable on the economics of biology.
@AronRa Great series! I can only dream of refuting creationism as brilliantly as you, but alas, as comments on these boards prove, even the most rational and brilliant presentation of common sense, will usually fall on deaf ears.
@zeineguy You are a FOOL. Stop claiming you've watched the videos when you haven't: if you listened to AronRa's description of how evolution works for one SECOND you would have discovered that something like growing arms would take millions of years, and requires compromise: evolution is the process of adaptation to one's environment, not a change into some "higher" being. I think you're so dumb that you don't know what you're talking about...pissing over the scientific community proves it.
Ive never seen a book call it "Teeeoriii of evolution"...

m-theory / infinite multi-dimensional theories bridge the gap of belief between religion and science, and it only took quantum mechanics to peer into them. So if that is true there are alternate realities like in that video "The Universe - Multiverse Parallel Universes / Full Documentary HD" who's to say what anyone says is not possible somewhere out there? Obviously believing in those science theories takes a leap of faith.

According to scientific theories (m-theory / infinite multi-dimensional theories etc.) bubble universes could possibly exist with different laws of physics, alternate universes might even be the bible universe word for word with purple people where evolution doesn't exist and creationism does exist.

@Dideamon99 a universe in wich the bible is true word by word (in the literal sense i mean) would be quite difficult to imagine, i mean a universe in wich an entity with a will that controls the laws of physics, well, an entity that is the ONLY law would contradict the theory itself! according to christian religion, god answers only to his own will, he is not sbujugated to any phisical law, but but the theory of multiple coexistant universes is based upon the law of physics, and that means ....

@Dideamon99 that God would be caused by the Physical laws that determined the existance of his universe,
but God is the cause of everything, and he is not caused by anything! and religion is quite clear about that! and so, the god that you imagined could exist in an alternative universe would not be the God described by the bible, and that means that the bible is not true word by word! even the multiple universe theory contradicts the bible!

If I may ask a question. Around the 8 minuet mark, you talk about the Big Bang and I think you even stare it was the beginning of our universe. I always thought it was beginning of our universe *as we know it.*. The matter of the Big Bang didn't just appear, which means the universe always existed, just not in the form that we know it. Ok, so maybe that wasn't much of a question :) I'm not fruit to argue

Genetic information (DNA), like other forms of information, can't happen by chance, so it's more logical to believe that genetic similarities between all forms of life are due to a common Designer who designed similar functions for similar purposes. It doesn't mean all forms of life are biologically related! Read my Internet articles under my name: Babu G. Ranganathan

NATURAL LIMITS TO EVOLUTION: Evolution within "kinds" is genetically possible in nature (i.e. varieties of dogs, cats, etc.), but not evolution across "kinds" (i.e. from worm to human). Species couldn't have survived while their vital tissues, organs, biological systems were still evolving. Read my Pravda Internet article: WAR AMONG EVOLUTIONISTS!

Why do they believe this has anything to do with "origins"? Is it only because of the title of Darwin's book, or is it simply that they can't figure out how to meld it with the magic of creation?

The more Evolution becomes proven over and over again, the more creationists look stupid wrong and ignorant.
By setting up Evolution as the punch bag, they have inadvertently signed their own death warrant of faith!

@Zalastras please read the above post and then just think about what you are standing up for. Sorry if i dont go back and make sure he is correct as I only remember 4 mass extinctions in the past. WHICH by the way no one KNOWs what really happened.. only guesses. and then tell me about how evolution works again? thanks for your time and please stop wasting mine.

@zeineguy i had made another post, but i had problems yesterday posting. You think you understand evolution, yet your comment about people growing another pair of limbs indicates you do not. Mutations happen in genes. These mutations are always small. If you're looking for changes in humans you need to look for seemingly insignifacant changes. Humans have grown much taller in the last few generations. Also we're getting rid of our wisdom teeth.

@gregrutz oh great one... with all knowledge.. can you please explain it to me then? answer me this question: why did the dinosaurs go extinct?
zeineguy 11 months ago
@zeineguy A big asteroid crashed into what is now Mexico. This event had major effects on the global climate due to the impact heavily polluting the atmosphere. The creatures that weren't killed by the impact of the asteroid had to deal with this changing climate. Many couldn't, and even if some dinosaurs wouldn't have been effected at first they would later due to lack of food.
Also in a sort of way dinosaurs didnt die out completely as todays birds are their descendants.

@zeineguy Only the large dinosaurs died off, we still have the ones with feathers. There have been 6 major mass extinctions in the past, who knows what caused them. 50 - 90 % of life suddenly died off. Most species that have lived on the earth are extinct. It is not 'survival of the fittest as much as 'most die off'

@gregrutz Thanks for the post. This is what I ask people who believe evolution explains everything. If the last mass extinction happened.. then theoritically that would mean that the millions of species we have on the planet now are "NEW" species. they may have connections to the pre extinct species, but I still think that most people dont question this enough. another subject that is never discussed is alien species from meteors and space debris that lands on our planet.

@zeineguy Yes these are new species evolved from those that didnt die out during the mass extinction. Small mammals already existed when the dinosaurs ruled the earth. They were small, had the habbit of hiding underground and didnt need as much food.
If you're really interested in understanding evolution and seeking for currently unanswered questions, check the channel of "whyevolutionistrue" It is a very good collection of documentaries and other good informative footage.

@zeineguy If you believe that humans should suddenly grow extra limbs, then take a look at my series on Falsifying Phylogeny. Also try to understand that evolution is dependable on the economics of biology.

@AronRa that was a joke. if you read the whole thing. most people in life say i only have 2 hands not 4 so wait. ;)

@AronRa Great series! I can only dream of refuting creationism as brilliantly as you, but alas, as comments on these boards prove, even the most rational and brilliant presentation of common sense, will usually fall on deaf ears.

@zeineguy You are a FOOL. Stop claiming you've watched the videos when you haven't: if you listened to AronRa's description of how evolution works for one SECOND you would have discovered that something like growing arms would take millions of years, and requires compromise: evolution is the process of adaptation to one's environment, not a change into some "higher" being. I think you're so dumb that you don't know what you're talking about...pissing over the scientific community proves it.
