Evolution Dumb Americans

The less educated you have, the less you understand evolution or for that matter science. The only reason given for not understanding evolution was that it conflicted with religious beliefs and not looking at all the evidence. WOW that's a good reason LOL

Gravity is "only a theory" also. Therefore, I believe in an Intelligent Faller, one who draws me down to the earth when I jump off that bridge if ignorance and stupidity.

@OldaurGold Creationism IS NOT a scientific theory, and Evolution is. In science, a theory is ABOVE a fact. A theory is a framework that takes many facts and brings them together to form a clear exlpanatory picture of the world. Evolution happened, and there is NO DISPUTE about that amoung serious scientists. The only thing scientists are still debating is the mechanisms that propel evolution, NOT the fact that it happened. It did. OK, done.

@DJohnson899 but I may remark that several facts make me suspect that any sensitive nerve may be rendered sensitive to light, and likewise to those coarser vibrations of the air which produce sound.

@DJohnson899

and if any variation or modification in the organ be ever useful to an animal under changing conditions of life, then the difficulty of believing that a perfect and complex eye could be formed by natural selection, though insuperable by our imagination, can hardly be considered real. How a nerve comes to be sensitive to light, hardly concerns us more than how life itself first originated; (continued)

@DJohnson899

Yet reason tells me, that if numerous gradations from a perfect and complex eye to one very imperfect and simple, each grade being useful to its possessor, can be shown to exist; if further, the eye does vary ever so slightly, and the variations be inherited, which is certainly the case; (continued)

@DJohnson899 The whole quote:

To suppose that the eye, with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest possible degree.

@1WhoSeeks You're just wrong. The second law does not even apply here. Besides, that is also a theory. There are no laws in science, just theory and hypothosis. We are as sure that evolution happened as we are that the earth revolves around the sun (the heliocentric theory) and gravity exists. We are as sure about evolution as we are of the germ theory of desease and that the earth is a sphere. We're as sure about it as we can be sure of anything. Anyone who denies it has their head in the sand.

please, america

please tell me this is an episode of  The Onion news

If evolution doesn't happen, then anti-viral vaccines and anti-bacterial drugs don't work.

If evolution doesn't happen, then all those experiments where actual speciation took place in laboratory environments also didn't happen.

If evolution doesn't happen, I wouldn't have an appendix or a tailbone.

Why would anyone deny facts and well-documented occurrences just to try to maintain the claimed veracity of a 2000 year-old book of religious fairy tales?

[DJohnson899]

Just for the sake if stating a point, Darwin said and I quote "The intricacies of the human eye make me break out in a cold sweat" further more ten's of thousands of optical cords HAVE to connect to their EXACT connection to the brain if even one is off the eye will cease to function. Now not to start a fight I would also like to state that one of Darwin's death bed wishes was that if no concrete evidence was found to support his theory within 50 years it should be null and void, and as far as

I think whoever doesn't "believe" in Science should be denied medical science as well...

That way, their life expectancy would be around 35 years old, then we wouldn't have to hear them whining about how scary and complicated the world is.

(Just trolling, of course, I don't want anyone being denied medical care)
