@GoodScienceForYou And not to just attack you here, but in your video you talk about how mutations must be 51% beneficial in order for evolution to be true, and that because they aren't evolution is a "fraud". This is just silly. Are you kidding me? I thought you read 27,000 papers on it lol. Mutations are such a small part of evolution. The real kicker is natural selection: the same thing that keeps elephants and their ancestors fittest in their respective environments.

@GoodScienceForYou I see that you insulted me elsewhere, but not being able to find that comment, I found this one, which is just a good a starting point as ever. Allow me, if you would, to point out your flaws:

1. You vote up your own comments, after responding to yourself.

2. You are just soooo wrong when it comes to explanations like the ones you give in this comment.

3. You are ignorant of this subject and should not pretend to be any sort of knowledge base whatsoever.

Make way for truth.

@ItsEasyIfYouThink What makes elphants weaker than their ancestors? Are you kidding? Have you looked?

As creatures de-evolve they only lose genetics and thier ability to suvive in multiple environments is reduced until the set of invironmental conditions becomes fixed and tiny. The food they CAN eat becomes limited. The temperatures they can withstand becomes limited. The terrain becomes limited. Even the altitude becomes limited over time. Then eventual extinction.
