Do you believe in evolution and why?

[Jzune]

Just trying to get a conversation going here. Please show some respect to others when replying.

I don't really know what it is. They never taught us in school.

I don't believe in it. We should be seeing transitional animals if evolution was taking place.

[Gregory]

I believe it is real.

[Jzune]

I dont, and ill tell you why. Cus we as humans break darwyns theory of evolution. Which if im not mistaken "only the strong survive" am i right?

True. There's also the theory of entropy, in which everything is continually breaking down. Darwin's law goes against this.

[mr.handsomeman]

Both of those reasons are great reasons. good job you guys. I don't. Because we would see evolution taking place to animals every day then right? Why would evolution just stop?

evolution takes thousands and thousands of years

even millions

it doesn't just happen overnight

[mr.handsomeman]

well, i guess.....but what's the proof?

Exactly, so shouldn't there then be a bunch of bears with flippers, or frogs with two hearts? (not to those extremes, but you get the point)

There's just not enough proof of evolution taking place for it to convince me.

Another case against it is the fact that humans use less than half of their brain. According to Darwin then, we should only have half the brain mass we have now, since we don't NEED or USE the other 50%

Why do we have charities to help out those in need? Why do help those that are going thru rough times? If we followed Darwyns Theory we should let them fend for themselves, if theyre not strong enought to survive then they die out. But we dont, we help each other out. That goes against the theory, so evolution doesnt exist becuase we humans prove it doesnt by helping one another even if we dont know who they are and even if we dont get something in return.

[mr.handsomeman]

there are too many contradictories

[Gregory]

Is there more proof about creation by God? The bible could have been written by anyone.

Yeah there is: the prophecies, the fact that it states the earth is in the shape of an orb, which lets face people thought it was flat. Cant remember when they stoped believeing this but it was way after that was stated in the bible

If you can show me where in that post I said anything about God, that'd be great.

we do see evolution every day, it in our gene. when a baby is born thats parts of evolution. the way your thinking of evolution that takes millions of years to do

[Gow616]

Take an Bio-Anthropology class in College to get the whole theory of evolution but it is still a theory of one way of trying to answer where do humans originate from. Sadly, most proof that could prove we evolved from something other than a humanoid primate has been lost to the ravages of time. Even Lucy's skeleton is partially complete. The question is how if we evolved from primates did we possess the genetic trait to transition from primate to human. The theory doesn't make sense from that angle because there are countless similar primate species who didn't evolve but we did. Something had to be introduced to cause a genetic shift and evolution, the catalyst is the key to explaining this all but how do you go about finding a catalyst that has not existed for 16 Million years or more?

Darwin's Theory is nice but it shouldn't be the be all end all to the discussion because it has many holes in it that one can't explain away as some theory being proven. For one it did not use the Scientific Method but used observational study based on animal life on a few islands. The microcosm can help explain the macrocosm but not all of it.

...Gow stops himself from rambling on more.

I understand this. If evolution happened, it didn't happen yesterday, it should be a continuing, never ending process. Which in turn would lead to the existance of transitional species. I don't see any of those, do you?

IT TAKES MILLIONS OF YEARS, you wont see that, oh and it still happening. it never stops until life stops

[Jzune]

Then wheres the product that started a million years ago?
