really??!!

@MrYoungEarth nop! not faith, you just need study. Is because the lack of study you don't understand it, oh.. but of course, It's way more easy to believe in just one book that you dont even read entirely, and skip the study and say "this requires to much faith for me" don´t you think?

This video explains the origen of life, and the FACT of evolution in a very short and simplist form. But again, if you want to understand it, yo should read a lot.

@AlainSta60 Not the point of this video. If you want to read about the supposed evidence, (and I mean that implying nothing) look elsewhere.

[eggertstwart]

@MrYoungEarth I suppose it's easy to sit there and say that, but do you actually have the scientific knowledge/done research enough to have an informed opinion? I know I haven't.

@AlainSta60

Evidence is in the genetic data, and abiogenesis research.

Scientists have almost pinpointed the beginning of life on earth.

@swlovesvegans you are welcome! i'm happy to help any one who ask :D. Try to read Darwin, Lamarck, an dawkins, those are theorys, of course, if you want facts, read about embriology, compared anatomy, dogs, cats, islands biodiversity, even the common corn!!!! the proofs are there, it's just take a lot ( A LOT) of time. and don't be afraid to ask! Bye!

@naxins no 70 million years isnt in my eyes, but compared to before it, yes. but i get what your saying. i get you. i honestly try to put what ive been taught aside, because then i understand better.

[swlovesvegans]

@naxins well its only expected for you to say that, i mean Dawkins himself said "It is absolutely safe to say that, if you meet somebody who claims not to believe in evolution, that person is ignorant, stupid, or insane." but lets be real. all ignorance a side, the probability of RNA and protein appearing in the same place at the same time to form a self sustaining self replicating living cell has been calculated to 1 chance in a million billion.

@swlovesvegans you need a lot more than a vas fertile land XD... you need oxigen in the water, an atmosphere, a low stable temperature... when we reach that we get cabric period, 70 millions years... you think is a short time?. The evolution never stops, keep looking, even in the news every year "500 new species founded", come on, look at your dog, every domestic dog, every plant you eat is proof of natural selection by our hands...

[naxins]

@swlovesvegans first you get a boom in the species pool (no competition yet), then when the food decreases and the ecological niche is reduces more and more for every specie, the natural selection take the principal role, the "once successful" are in competition, the evolution rate is the same, but the natural selection reduce the chances for this species to keep in time. And again, say that evolution has weak foundation is an enourmous fallacy, again from ignorance and evidence rejection.

[swlovesvegans]

@naxins okay so before this period, the billions of years, fertile land formed, and when it became more fertile, we had a sudden burst of evolution, then the burst stopped because of competitions and enviromental limitations?
