If we could evolve into something that an animal has, like it's strength and speed, it's almost possible today.
|
Do we have floating cars that run on vegetable oil? No? Oh. I don't know.
For all I know, yeah we probably are. I mean we went from having spears to having pieces of metal that shoot spiral-shaped things fast. Go us. Also, I think we're becoming dumber than we are smarter. We've been messing with nature far too much and now we've pretty much doomed ourselves. Another go us! |

You have no idea how many scientists are trying to get out that evolution is a load of crap. DNA is unaltering, fact. We can't simply live somewhere and our bodies know that they have to grow smarter or warmer. Humans are curious and adaptible, but not evolving. We know more than 500 years ago because of several men who have taken their curiosity to higher levels, but it doesnt mean our brains are actually getting larger or smarter. I hate it how this is taught in schools when some loon (Charles Darwin) had this overnight THEORY that we came from monkeys, so on so forth, when it's actually no more provable than afterlife and creationism. People bashing and hating Christians and Catholics because they believe in something probably just as silly as evolution. You can say this is spam, but I'm not flaming anyone and I'm staying on topic. My opinion is valued by some and despised probably by you right now reading this, thinking "What an utter dolt. Not beleiving our DNA can mutate to create us into better, more intelligent beings" |

You're twisting my words in your "defense" and you can't argue against any of my points because chances are, I'm right. And if you must know, I think dirt and ribs sound HELLA alot better than a big galactic explosion and millions of years later, evolving from pond scum. |

Oh, and roughly 99.98% of scientists support evolution both as a theory and as a fact. I am a freshman and I know much more than you do. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Quote:

By the way, there are Christian and catholic people who support evolution. Just because they don't accept rib woman and clay man doesn't mean they think religion is stupid. Please click this. And this is indeed evolution(which is the diversity of life, and that only. No big bang, no abiogenesis. Repeat after me. Diversity of life, not origins.) Don't get it mixed up. However, I will give you one chance to redeem yourself. Find fossil bunnies the Precambrian. Good luck, because you'll need it :3 Quote:
I'm sorry, but if you want to reply to this, please send me a PM. I have a feeling I will unnecessarily curse at you for being so unknowing of the facts. I hope you can entertain me and say it's only a theory. Oh...and, you research something, THEN debate it. |
And it looks like it's time for The Scientist to swoop down and kill the troll(s) clear things up.
Firstly, always differentiate between microevolution and macroevolution. One has been proven beyond all doubt, and the other is tentative. Secondly, Darwin and Linnaeus neither proposed nor supported macroevolution (coming from monkeys, as EpsilonE so eloquently put it); "On the Origin of Species" only detailed examples of microevolutionary changes observed in the Galapagos Islands (e.g. finches' beaks changing). Thirdly, microevolution has been observed in almost every living thing. It has also definitely been observed in humans (note the examples I gave a few posts back). The divergence of the various races is also an example of microevolution in humans. Fourthly, the Big Bang theory is not relevant to macroevolution. I don't know why that was even brought up. |
There's small cases of evolution today.
You know more and more people are being born without their appendixes? ...ithink. |

You do know that a child can only inherit it's intelligences from it's mother.. Even tho the father was a uber smart guy.. His children would only be as smart as the mother... Or at least that's what I learned in advanced biology.. Aka Genetics, erfðafræði in Icelandic... Anyway I don't think any of us will be a life for the next stages of evolution and I doubt the people that experience it will know it's happening... |

Big Bang? Who's the nutter that thought that up? It's only the theory that brings us back to the beginning of our universe, which is not relevant to the evolution of humans. I have come to understand that macroevo in humans is from Australopithecus africanus----- > Hom0 sapeins. Correct me if I'm wrong. And microevo is the race differences of humans. Each race has it's own trait to adapt to different climates and land. Like Darwin's finches in Galapagos. |
Yeah... I'm a Christian and I'll tell you microevolution is a fact. I don't believe in macroevo, but I'll try not to force beliefs right here. And I'll say that Big Bang vs. Creation is irrelevant here.

I'm not trying to argue, really. I'm simply tearing apart a slightly irate opinion as most people are wont to do from time to time. Nothing personal. |
Quote:
And since why shouldn't I say that I'm smarter? I clearly gave an obvious, credible source of speciation, which is commonly found above micro evolution. Quote:
I could've sworn I gave him a chance to disprove evolution, but I must have just imagined it. Quote:

There isn't any truth in science alone, because science adapts to the evidence. However, science proven by math never changes because math is set in stone. I am not saying that evolution is proven by math, because I have never researched that, but when macro evolution was observed and shown to be right beyond a shadow of a doubt, you should drop your denial. And lastly, I only degrade what I don't believe in because I haven't been shown any evidence to support to contrary, or evidence has been shown against the contrary. Try to prove how a flood happened with freshwater fish and saltwater fish both surviving, since it is clearly in the scripture :/ |
dood guys didn't u know intelegent design is totally in
[/lolsarcasm] The human's ability to adjust to its enviornment is not one of genetic evolution (as we are rather similar in design to our ancestors thousands of years ago), however, due to this extremely successful trait of the human species, our children will certainly inherit that quality, which, even millions of years from now, when humans have changed form enough to be a seperate species, this quality will remain intact until the decendants are completely wiped off of the face of the planet.

I know, but in a serious debate, it's not exactly a good idea to be "messing around" :p

LET'S RETURN THIS TOPIC TO IT'S ORIGINAL INTENTION SIR SPAMALOT
Human evolution, on a genological level, is not progressing at an abnormal rate... at the moment. =_= But our ability to make new tools certainly is :DDDDDDDD |
Quote:
I really don't think we're going to do much more evolving at all. We've created ways do most things we need to do. (E.g. Fly, get around quickly, kill eachother) I doubt theres any more major evolution coming our way. The only evolution I could see is natural selection and becoming immune to certain diseases. |
