  • GSFY - you always duck questions, usually because you don't have the scientific knowledge to support your inanities, but that's what we expect from someone who thinks his years of studying yoga trump those of real scientists doing actual research. Feel free to answer the questions about your 'boundaries' or tell us what specific DNA sequences or ERV insertion patterns support your silly humans mated with gorillas to produce chimps nonsense, or once again simply duck and run.

  • GSFY - you keep on using this 'boundaries of their genetic limitations' argument but when asked how we can determine such boundaries for any species you duck the question. You also duck the question of what mechanism stops a further mutation when a creature is at one of your supposed boundaries. If you cannot determine such a boundary or identify any mechanism then your argument is as worthless as all the others you make.

  • thumbs up!

  • Unless these theories are proven wrong, they are used by scientist to explain natural phenomenon. this is how Lamarkism (theory tht animals evolve from use of parts such as giraffe stretching its neck for food evolving into a long necked creature) was shot down as sufficient evidence was gathered tht it is not true.

  • Evolution is a fact. Natural selection is a theory to explain it. we call them theories because we only have evidence to SUGGEST that they are true and there is a lack of evidence to dismiss them. We do not have clear cut evidence of the theory as we did not observe the process itself occuring long enough to say that is what really happened.saw it with our own eyes. In fact, there are many theories for evolution such as the less popular neutral theory.
