want your eyes to be opened?

@Californianism nge. Things adapt to their environment. I really don't understand how one can't see how small changes add up to big changes over time.

[Californianism]

@Californianism When an organism gets a mutation it can have a positive affect on its fitness. If this population keeps gaining mutations and allele frequency changes, it is then in the process of evolution (if genes are selected for that is). Macro can be viewed as micro over time. You start with a white canvas. You throw a blue speck at it. Keep doing it you get a blue painting.

Speciation happens. if you take a population, split it and isolate the halves, after a while the species will cha

Well it's E.coli, so I assume from a Taco Bell burrito?

But really why do you ask? I'm unfamiliar with any objection to that aspect of his experiment.

Ah so "from goo to the zoo to you" is ridiculous yet man being created from dust- and women from his rib -makes perfect sense?

First, check Conservapedia if you think no one is disputing it. A colony develops a citrus-absorption mutation and they go absolutely crazy.

Second: This micro vs macroevolution crap has gone on long enough.

[thewayofthemaster]

@JagCreed4 Exactly. Not to mention the evolution needed to get from goo to zoo to you, was never observed in Lenski's experiments. Bacteria to start, bacteria at the end. It's simply change *within* species, which obviously no one is disputing.

[JagCreed4]

@Californianism Lenski's lab studies were very fascinating indeed! Where did he get the first bacteria sample from again?

[Californianism]

@JagCreed4

@JagCreed4 For repeatability, just look up all the studies that have been done directly on evolution (Lenski's lab studies are one of my favorites, and there is one about lizards that was just in the news) . And for falsifiability, just find an organism that has multiple different lineages in its DNA! (that can't be explained by lateral gene transfer, of course)

[Californianism]

@JagCreed4 Good. Now there is no excuse for anyone reading this to use the "just a theory" argument again.

I'm going to ignore the morality tangent in the interests of staying on topic.

How is evolution anything but scientific? Something is scientific if it is built around evidence, as is falsifiable and repeatable. Evolution is undeniably based on evidence, from all areas of life science and environmental science. It is the obvious answer that sticks out from the facts and data. For repea

[Californianism]

@Californianism for his theory while he was exploring, it wasn't until a century later or so that Mendelian genetics was incorporated into the idea that the theory became what it is today. This is what is now know as the Modern Synthesis. Since then a huge multitude of studies have been done directly testing evolution, and countless others rely on evolution to make predictions and explain phenomena. While fossils are fun, the evidence directly for it is most strong in the genetics of species.

[Californianism]

@Californianism And yes it has a "foothold" the same way as all our other theories have "footholds" in the school; because they are accurate and very important for students to understand. Evolution has even a stronger foothold in life science, as nothing in biology makes sense without evolution underlying it.

In the 1830's while sailing around the world Charles Darwin hypothesized that life originated from a common ancestor via the force he named natural selection. While he collected evidence
