Do you believe evolution is true?

[Anonymous]

Yes

No

[strateguy632]

disclaimer sharpen your mocking because you can't refute the following:

real evolution is only possible if there is a miracle, see picture or...

for people who tweak evolution and twist it to something they do believe and deny the real evolution theory. either way.

1,

2, we have animals some with more chromosomes and some less and...

if we IGNORE the part about reproduction we can be tricked that: species with different totals of chromosomes had a common ancestor. in picture above.

like "mammals had a common ancestor" many say they believe that... to avoid criticism and name calling by bullies if they doubted this "fact".

3, chromosomes

4, it takes a special kind of nerd to attach this to reproduction and ask "how many chromosomes did this common ancestor have"?

if it had 38 then when it mated...

those who know about reproduction the child MUST have 38...

especially if you deny god exists so no miracles.

5, the only way a "pair of 38 chromosomes parents" can have a child with 78 or 46 is a miracle but that does not fit denying god.

so the only way to defend evolution is if god did miracles... but that does not fit denying god.

and if you believe god like darwin himself wrote "life got breathed (genesis bible chapter one) into one or several species from which other species originated" then god can directly make cats different than dogs without a common ancestor.

so only someone who does not notice...

or is scared of name calling or scared of losing career...

can be tricked that theory is even POSSIBLE. it is not biologically POSSIBLE... as miraculous as virgin mary having a baby.

[MisterWack]

There is enough evidence to prove it.

We went from so many changes to get where we are.

Uneducated monkeys like to say “if humans evolved from apes, why are apes here?” which is irrelevant since that isn’t how evolution works. Evolution is, “the process by which different kinds of living organisms are thought to have developed and diversified from earlier forms during the history of the earth.”
Developed and diversified!

Remember that diagram of long neck giraffes grabbing the taller leaves then the smaller die off, well the tall genes get passed down to the next generation of giraffe making giraffes in the certain region taller by comparison. They didn’t appear taller, they reproduced and passed the dominant genes down to the next generation thus allowing them when fully grown to get to the taller leaves.

[Asker]

it isn't exactly irrelevant. the short simple answer is there are still apes because large populations resist evolution. it really only happens when there's a population collapse or isolation.

[Asker]

(humans are apes)

[MisterWack]

Agreed, fair point and an exact expert fact too.

Now about the humans are apes, actually I looked up the word ‘Primate’ and it includes humans, apes, monkeys, lemurs, etc. so, it is accurate to say we are primates. Though we are close to apes since we land in the same category.

[Fatoumamoud]

I don't believe in evolution. We are human not animals species. That's my opinion.

[jahaims]

Humans are factually animals, you moron. Animal: a living organism that feeds on organic matter, typically having specialized sense organs and nervous system and able to respond rapidly to stimuli.
It's not a matter of belief/opinion. It is 100% factually provable.

[Fatoumamoud]

@jahaims i said my opinion, i don't need you to call me names. Chill a little bit. Get your ass somewhere else.

[jahaims]

You don't even understand what the words you are saying mean. A fact can not be an opinion. If something is factually provable, an opinion is irrelevant. You bottom feeder. Please never reproduce.

[Fatoumamoud]

@jahaims hey Mr. Bully, I care less about your thoughts on my opinion.

[jahaims]

It's not an opinion. It's you being wrong. Your statement is as wrong as saying all circles are squares. It isn't a matter of opinion. You are literally too stupid to understand how stupid you are.

[Fatoumamoud]

@jahaims keep going

[Asker]

@jahaims One fact you're missing is how astrology has a little truth when it says your fate is determined by the Stars. she's probably from an extremely hot climate that just got air conditioning 20 years ago. they haven't had the time to shift as a culture away from their comforting dogmas now that they don't have to starve, sweat their ass off in the heat, etc like primitive morons. primitive ideas die after primitive conditions die

[Fatoumamoud]

Keep up with your insults. If don't want people to share their opinions then don't ask. Keep the insult coming if that helps you keep on

[Asker]

you were born and bred to be insulted. you enjoy it. and i enjoy making you feel bad

[Fatoumamoud]

Okay weirdo keep going let your anger out

[Asker]

twerk

[DishLady]

Sure... and devolution as well... We're going through devolution now.

[MisterWack]

Sadly if we keep questions like that up and people continuing down the path of “all science is fake & stupid and stupid n dumb!”

[DishLady]

@MisterWack Hmm...

[Asker]

@MisterWack It's sad. the difference between a scientist and a religious person is one trusts their thoughts most after precise observation and the other after they felt fuzzy with their eyes shut saying a prayer, singing a song... holding hands...

[MisterWack]

I mean I’ve seen lots of religious people still listen to scientists, though I would say the gap is closing especially in America. We should have our beliefs in the holy text we all practice & preach for the afterlife though also be open to accepting science for the daily life we all live. Let’s say God created the Heaven & Earth, then that would also mean God created the Atom, micro organisms. dinosaurs, you name it so we should analyze and discover also embrace what is so good also what is so unique to this world because God is proud of his creation thus everyone should embrace it through knowledge of how things work since he put this vast Universe together. I don't know that is how I feel. Science doesn’t really dispute God more than just show us how everything ticks & the quirks of life that may or may not be created by God. I don't know.

[DishLady]

@MisterWack I mean... science is based on reality and it's the way we discover the physical world... Religious stuff is "metaphysical" and so it evaluates something beyond the physical world. Just because a person is religious doesn't mean that science is wrong -- and vice versa. There's room for both.

[MisterWack]

@DishLady Exactly! You said it best!
Hit it right on the head, one deals with the physical universe while other is ‘metaphysical’ though there will always be room for both. Very clear and transparent, thank you for your wise & brilliant commentary added to the discussion.

[lightbulb27]

it makes more sense than the big bang... start with nothing and get everything and more... but doesn't make full sense... of what I know. when has a species evolved to another species? there's fossiles showing closely related and genetics, but how do you change species?

humans have not evolved in the time were aware of them. dogs haven't changed. might have a new kind of wolf or coyote, but it didn't turn into a deer or fox.

I don't claim to understand their facts supporting it..

de evolution seems to be more at play...

[MisterWack]

Well we all came from a common ancestor then branched off into different sections.
Broccoli, Kale, Cauliflower, Brussel Sprouts all look different though are actually from the same plant just selectively bred to get the outcome.

We are in the primates section which includes, humans & apes & chimps & lemurs & more are closely related in the animal kingdom just branched off doing different things via genetics / environmental influence.

We all reproduced which led to a different combination of genetics to be passed on and the outside influences impacted it, only the strong will survive. You should look up the Chernobyl Frogs as an example of this type of reproduction leaving specific genes due to environmental impact as an example.

I don’t fully get the whole evolution thing though I do understand it is genetics passed down via reproduction and the environmental impact that may sway certain species to modify / adapt.

[Miristheiss]

Macro? That the universe and all of the unfathomable amount of matter and energy came from nothing, it just sprang up somehow and that there was some "primordial soup" that just came to be somehow and that some cell just "sprang" life out of absolutely nothing and then 100 gazillion years happened and "TADA" we have humans and life and brains, eyeballs with lenses, DNA, reproduction... etc... it all just "EVOLVED". Absolutely not.

I do believe in microevolution, species evolve. Long hair, short hair, curly hair, tall, small, quick, slow, sickly, healthy, dark skinned, light skinned evolutions within a species. Not that a species evolves into some new, higher species... a cell that is alive out of nothing... life just popped up out of thin air and evolves into humans or whales or tigers or mosquitos or a tree.

[HighValue]

If scientists say something is so, you can often rely on it being proven false, though it may be many years later when it is proven false.

Ever heard of the big bang theory that most scientists agreed was true? Remember when it was recently proven false by the James Webb telescope?

[abc3643]

The Big Bang Theory was not proven false by the James Webb Telescope.

[HighValue]

It sure was proven false. Part of the theory was that galaxies that are farther away from the big bang point would be larger from spreading and cooler from being older. In reality from the James Webb telescope there are larger, then smaller, then larger, then smaller galaxies again in ALL directions, and hotter, then cooler, then hotter, back and forth repeatedly too.

And on top of that, scientific theory also says that nothing can ever be created or destroyed, but somehow everything was created from nothing for the big bang theory to be true.

It is just a BS theory from many scientists that can't admit that they were wrong REPEATEDLY throughout history. Some things from scientists turn out to be true, but MANY things turn out to be false once enough time passes and research technology improves.

[abc3643]

Let me assume for the moment that you are correct. Can you provide me with the URL of a published peer-reviewed scientific journal paper proving the Big Bang Theory is false?

As someone who has had a BS in Physics since 1985, let me help you get started... Almost certainly, such a paper would be published in "Physical Review D".

.

[abc3643]

https://journals.aps.org/prd/about

[abc3643]

There are other journals too but Physical Review D is the first one that came to mind since Physical Review is major series of journals in the world of physics published by the American Physical Society.

[Asker]

Keep in mind, guys, both ideas could be wrong. Proving a scientific theory wrong doesn't mean "God did it" is a valid replacement

[nawtee_me]

Do I believe that things evolve? Yes. Do I believe that man came from apes? No! It could not have happened in one generation so there should be generations of evidence showing the progression. But there isn’t! A find every now and then may just be the failed attempts in evolution.

[exitseven]

Yes, it is both a biologic and a social process. Throughout time there has been mutations that have happened randomly. Some of these mutations enable the organism to survive and thrive and pass the mutation to the next generation.

[normalice]

I understand the theory of evolution and why the evidence supports it. To say I "believe" it would be suggesting some leap of faith is involved, which i go out of my way to avoid.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Some people are proof evolution is moving in reverse.

[Kelley1]

Of course I believe in evolution. It is an established fact.

[strateguy632]

fact? it was never "observed" not even once. facts can be observed.

[Kelley1]

@strateguy632 Evolution is observed all the time. You only have to observe virus to see that.

[strateguy632]

Your statement self contradicted.
A virus changes... shape it is STILL a virus.
"Evolution of species from a simpler species " is not what happens to a virus.

[strateguy632]

Your statements are like "proof the sky is always pink is look at the blue sky"
Virus does not evolve to a bacteria refuted evolution.

[Asker]

@strateguy632 you don't understand biology. go study

[abc3643]

Of course, it's true.

It HAS to be true because of its mathematical nature. It's as true as arithmetic.

[strateguy632]

math? i guess you dont know how to "ADD chromosomes" in reproduction.
only people who don't notice get Tricked that real evolution is e even possible without a miracle.

[Kaneki05]

I don't believe it but true, just factually it exists.
Would be like saying do I believe rocks exist. No they just do.

[AviatorTom]

Evolution is the best explanation of how we (all the animals and plants, in all its diversity) got here.

[Avicenna]

Yes, and I do not see a conflict between it and any part of the Abrahamic religions.

[Asker]

it says the world was made in 6 days

[Avicenna]

The Bible was written when? Have you ever heard of figurative language? In Genesis, it also gives an order for the world's evolution. Does that fly in the face of science? No.

[LiamJHayden]

What do you mean, exactly? Natural selection, a loss of genetic information, is obvious and proven. From one species into another? That is far less convincing.

[strateguy632]

a minor addition. species can be with same number of chromosomes or different.
from "one species of eagle to another" is less convincing and eagles with a different number of chromosomes is impossible.

[kellytheman]

I do but I also believe in a god and Jesus but I am also a person if science and facts. Just some things in the Bible I don’t totally agree with or hard to believe.

[MrGSpotHer]

How can someone not believe in evolution what else happened? And untill I got older I would just point and laugh I found it hystericaly funny as a kid 😆

[paledreams]

Yes - sure explains the wombats and koalas - I knew they had to be related and sure enough

[Dargil]

I believe the ascent of life is true. Evolution does not explain why.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Yes but not initially at creation. Evolution definitely took place in particular in animals after God flooded the earth.

[DaBiggestBird]

Wrong, those scientists don’t know Jack chit, fake news

[Andrewsmith14]

For animals yes, humans may be done evolving

[Yannae]

It's a fact. We are on top of the world now. Our biggest enemy right now is our own kind.

[Pterodon]

That things evolve is confirmed however I believe the creator created but used evolution to create

[Billlewis]

Yes -- men were evolved to serve women.

[strateguy632]

you earned the woke of the day award!

[Billlewis]

@strateguy632 Femdom has no connection to wokeheadedness. That's mostly a race baiting scam.

[jahaims]

The level of stupidity among us is impressive

[noohair]

Science guided by Heaven.

[Meisdipa]

Maybe

[OfMiceandMen]

Yes I do.

[4ngelic]

duhh

[youandi_]

Yes.
