This is a horrible video. It explains evolution about as bad as a creationist would try to.

[Jeremyguru]

Proof? It's been proven to the point of over-kill. Go study science. You'll find all the evidence you'll ever need.

It's not my job to teach you science. It's YOUR responsibility to get an education. You've already demonstrated the you don't even understand basic science terms. Go learn.

[TheMathical]

Creation makes so much more sense than this and people sound retarded when they try to explain evolution

[Dread556]

this video is truly horrible in trying to explain evolution.

either your trying to insult peoples intelligence or are just really really bad at making sense of things.

@musikmanea oh please calm down.....

evolution isnt such a far fetched idea as some people like to assume, even more so the TREMENDOUS relation evolution has with genesis of the bible.

i am christian, i believe in god and believe jesus christ to be the messiah, but what i ALSO believe in is evolution. youtube wont let me explain what i need to but im just going to say this, all that i have read in genesis, the different phrases and all, i can directly relate to the evolution of man.

You child, have been thoroughly brainwashed. All evolution has to support it are known falsehoods. It is a disgusting lie perpetrated by the money elites to keep God's children from Him. There is no evidence to support the theory, let alone for it to be called a fact. I suggest you watch Kent Hovind, this brainwashing is reversible.

@Jeremyguru Yes, I do. And I thought that sounded pretty neat. :)

[Jeremyguru]

@DuskRenegade No, that's not the definition of science. Do you just make shit up as you go?

[DuskRenegade]

@Jeremyguru I don't even know who you're talking to, buddy, but let me tell you this;

Science, in terms used by the video, is a defect of the human mind. Science, your entire life, I presume, if you're a scientist, is nothing if not a series of complexeties applied, out of frustration, mind you, about topics we fail to comprehend.

[LemonsInTheShade]

ok that makes sense now.

cheers!

Group formation as in the formation of species and their ability to survive which is determined by natural selection of their traits (their relation with the environment and themselves).

[SuperFinGuy]

Oh it it groundbreaking material, I have some links to peer-reviewed scientific journals and papers on the issue if you want.

Being fit does entail being reproductively successful but as one of the consequences of being fit, not the other way around. You see, being fit is the cause, and reproductive the effect. We are not talking about an identity here or that they refer to the same thing. That's why it is an empty tautology.
