How Evolution Works- Introduction (Part I)

-CROATIA ISNT AN ISLAND! It was off the Croatian coast- on the island of Pod Mrcaru.

-The Croatian war of independence was from 1991-1995, not in the 70s as I mistakenly said (sorry).

The first in my new series designed to teach people everything they need to know about evolution from a scientific perspective.

From line 1: "About two-thirds of scientists believe in God, according to a new survey that uncovered stark differences based on the type of research they do."

-For clarification, the study does NOT say they believe in a Christian God, or what type of God for that matter. I referenced this close to Christianity, and want to make sure no one confuses what I meant, or said.

@Jim777ism Unwanted as in not beneficial in nature. Natural selection is the working mechanism of evolution. We, as humans, have taken this away with modern technology and medicine. We keep people alive when they should be dead, and protect them from the natural elements that killed our ancestors. Devolution, or the breakdown or reversal of evolution you speak of still does not exist. As you said, the devolution you are speaking of cannot be defined. It is still evolutionary process.

@sloth0876 I understand your thoughts. Now, think of what you've said here: "...overcome natural selection"; another term for what you are saying is "against nature". And, what working mechanism have we taken away? Think about that deeply.

[Jim777ism]

@sloth0876 There is much more information out there than you realize. I have no questions for you. I am here to tell you that devolution is what is happening here. The "unwanted traits" you speak of are something which really cannot be defined anyway...as, "unwanted" is a personal preference and is not scientific. It would not be happening if somebody out there didn't want it to happen -- or if the masses didn't follow the orders. And, frankly, "unwanted" may be something considered racist!

[Jim777ism]

@sloth0876 Freaks of nature do indeed happen. You may research news and/or science articles yourself. The resulting offspring are not always sterile.

It pains me to realize I will never see the day when a video like this gets zero dislikes.

@sydtocreation Continually correcting people like you...on oberservable things...on videos that explain the things they are arguing...

[sloth0876]

@Jim777ism The argument you are starting stems from the ability to overcome natural selection...it doesnt mean evolution doesnt exist, we just have taken the working mechanism away.

[sloth0876]

@Jim777ism Man did not, nor can they mix with modern great apes. We are genetically similar, but the fusion of human chromosome 2 makes it impossible. The rest of the great apes have 48 chromosomes while humans sit at 46 (23 pairs). Now, considering this is the stuff i work with daily..do you have any more questions? Devolution is in fact the same process you are disputing. Devolution, from what i can gather, is the accumulation of unwanted traits...which is a different argument.
