@daverigby23 nope. Evolution is the theory that explains the diversity of life once it has arisen.. It's not limited to any enviroment. And it has been proven beyond any shadow of doubt..
Astronomy has absolutely no ties to evolution what so ever, it was a retoricle question.
-
@nejtilsvampe Astronomy is a different brach of science, the study of the planets, and the Universe. Evolution is only concerned with life on earth, and if it is proved to exist, then life on other planets

I'm a member of NCSE. If you're tired of cursing the darkness of creationist nonsense, thirty five bucks a year to join NCSE (Google it) is a good way to take action against the fundies and their harmful superstition.
We love you, Genie! Thank you for all of your efforts to keep religion out of science classes.

@CristinaFernandez just out of curiosity, how does astronomy support evolutionary theory??

@JungleJargon if you duplicate genes in the genome, that won't be the same "story", because the genotype is now expressed twice, creating a different phenotype. ergo the importance of the number of alleles that you have for each gene. Thalassemic disorders are proof that you are wrong.
i can mutate a lot of things. ALL things with DNA or RNA mutates. there is no such thing as "design": you are JUST full of shit.
there are no limits to the genome.
I am using science. you aren't.
-
@transtlantic If you duplicate "Jack and Jill", it'll be the same old story.
You can't mutate nothing. You have to have preexisting working design to change it.
Exactly, varriations cannot occur where there are limits and the genome is limited by limited orders.
You are saying nonsense and insisting that it's a good thing.
Once upon a time, it was beneficial to have male and female so one genome ordered a male and the other genome ordered a female to keep company for the male *without* sex.

@JungleJargon ofc duplication of information is new information. as ALL kids know.
The variation cannot occur if there were limits. therefore there are no limits.
I am saying things written at the Molecular biology of the cell, 5th edition. now...what sources are you using? oh right: none. you are just making stuff up.
i exist because of sexual reproduction, an evolved trait. there is no evidence for design. you are JUST full of shit.
Mutations originate all the diversity observed.
-
@transtlantic Duplication of information is not new information.
The variation of species is due to the limited information in the genome.
You are saying things for the sake saying things. Of course you were intended and you exist because of design.
The mutations cannot work together to order anything.
-
mutations can increase information - Down syndrome.
Plant speciation is proof of evolution.
I exist without intent and design.
AB resistance is proof of evolution. there can't be AB resistance without mutations originating novel information in the genome.
-
@transtlantic Mutations can only change existing information. Mutations cannot order anything.
Plant speciation is what the limited information in the genome does.
You would not exist without intent and design.
AB resistance is the result of existing information in the genome.
But rejection of evolution is irrational, because it contradicts direct, observable physical reality.
The presence of homologous anatomies, and the ability of evolution theory to do what all great scientific thoughts do: make predictions.
Scientists predicted that a link between fish and tetrapod life would be found circa 380 million years ago. And it was!
To deny evolution is an absence of critical thinking, and shows scientific illiteracy. That IS something to be concerned about.

I have never heard anyone, anywhere call evolution the science of speculation. And if it is a science of speculation, then so is astronomy, chemistry, biochemistry, geochronology, geology, and anatomy, all of which support evolutionary theory. There is no argument about evolution anywhere except in the heads of creationists.
