Evolution

[drstitson]

"Why was it only Noah's boat that worked?"

1. because God warned him long enough in advance to build a f**k off great ship and stock it ready for the deluge

but more importantly..

2. IT"S ONLY AN EFFING STORY!!!!!

IT"S ONLY AN EFFING STORY!!!!!
I also thought the same until 20 years ago when I decided to read the bible from cover to cover and no influence from any happy clapping people, I put the book down and went to discover was any of it true, most of the truth I did discover was scientific based stuff, I don't practice Christianity, or go to church, but I will say don't knock it until you have read it, I have no problem with evolution if someone can tell me the truth about it not what might of happened, and words like appeared, might, probably and most likely are not did happen, i know its hard to piece things together that happened millions of years ago but what i have read is only an effing story !!!!!!

What do you mean by the truth of evolution?

"What do you mean by the truth of evolution?"

precisely.

there are many examples, on many timescales, where one can date the divergence between two samples of individuals or species.

Don't start with Dawkins, he's too evangelical on the subject! What about the fossil record? Do you not think there is evidence there for the theory of evolution?

 

[drstitson]

no fossils were put there by god.

You don't even need fossils to see it in action, there is observable evolution in happening now. For example bacteria than have mutated to eat nylon.

Redwood, if you have never gotten around to reading up on the theory of evolution it is a wonderful read, just 'elegant', it feels 'right', as an explanation for the natural world. Ok I only understand it in layman's terms, but even so it 'makes sense'.

 

[Suzi Q]

He/she/it/them are having a laugh. Creationists have sooo much to explain away.

Now if there's a man that understands the validity of a supreme being (Tim M, not Mel C).

Thanks domino for the link red to page 10 really getting into it the I read this;

In answering the open questions that still remain unsolved, the theory of evolution will either become complete or it will be replaced by a new theory that better explains the phenomena we see in nature. That is how the scientific process works.
Ill keep reading though

That's how science works, everything is constantly tested and if it fails a new theory arises. Otherwise people would still think bees came from rotting cows
