TruthfulChristian: "I'm not an expert on evolution"

No fucking shit.

[amorphousguy]

Even if pinecones are getting smaller, that would justify evolutionary change. I don't get why TC is using an example of evolution to disprove evolution.

[captaindisguise]

He thinks evolution is basically everything getting bigger! That is what listening to Kent Hovind gets you

[AziMeX]

I think this whole debate is unfair.

You have one little retarded Christian boy, who is clearly just as simple as someone who hasn't grown out of Santa Claus......and you're trying to beat sense into him using some of YouTube's Atheist behemoths?

Leave the little retard alone.

[psb1964]

I didn't know Christians were obsessed with Pine Cones.

[sleepymagpie]

If within a species of pine trees, the individuals with large pine cones less successful, say because they are logged, that acts as a selective pressure that changes the allele frequency of the genes relating to cone size.

Jaycee Dugard.... Her symbol the Pine cone..... Hmm...

[SoundOfScilence]

So THE FOSSIL RECORD shows that pine cones have been getting smaller in THE LAST FEW DECADES!? I came here to see if TC cites a source, but if he did it obviously isn't worth reading.

[TheCentralServices]

You are all mean and cheap! TruthfulChristian is really very simple and insecure. He just clings to what they teach in American schools.

[Tobytrim]

"if you kill off all the large pine cones, you'll only have the small ones left - that's not evolution"

Boy!! - Thruthfulchristian really doesn't understand natural selection does he??? Moron!! - That's EXACTLY what evolution through natural selection is!!

[logician360]

"If you take a look at the fossil record, it shows that the average size of pine-cones has decreased over the last several decades."

Find me a decade old pine cone fossil, and I'll give you a frickin' medal.
