Do You Believe in the Theory of Evolution?

[Peter Parka]

They've found plenty of proof--except in Great Britain where man has not evolved since the Cro-Magnon period!

Hey, I've seen the food you Americans eat and the sports you play, at least we haven't evolved backwards. If Darwin was right about survival of the fittest, you Americans are bang in trouble!

 

[Peter Parka]

ever noticed how kids are getting taller peter?

The're still humans though, nothing else.

if species can interbreed they have a common ancestor....all macaws can interbreed and have done in captivity...as have lions and tigers.......hence evolution

Thank you.

yes but,the fact is that man is getting taller......go to london castle and see the size of the suits of armour....they wouldn't fit a 12 year old these days......thats evolution

I'll have to agree on the food--although I am much more European-oriented when it comes to food myself. People in California tend to eat healthier than our counterparts in most of the rest of the country. But if the world truly was survival of the fittest--I think we can agree the French are going out first!!!

italians?

Please don't bring up American Rugby....sorry....football, Peter.

I was going to make an argument, but this is fucking stupid. Evolution happens, and all of you people who are against it are making presumptions as to the validity of something you don't have the first idea about it, and you come in here and expect us 'evolutionists' as it's so popular to call people who acknowledge biological reality, to explain to you something that the more informed of us have spent a ton of time, reading hundreds of pages. It's a bunch of douchebaggery, pretentious stupidity to say something like, "I don't believe in physics" when the only reason is because you don't fucking understand it or its basic premises (and are unqualified to make any judgement at all) and then expecting those of us who actually spent their time learning it to explain it to you in a post. I mean, what the fuck? Stop making assumptions out of ignorance and get a book and fucking read it, for Christ's sake. God I hate people.

But that can be attributed to diet and other advancements in medicine. I'm not sure why evolution would require people to get taller.

its not the diet when you consider the junk food eaten these days

I thought we already established there has been no evolution in Great Britain since the Cro-Magnon period! :24:

no,you established that

I thought evolution was about gradually turning into new species. People were a lot shorter years ago but were still humans. people getting taller can be completely put down to us eating better and being much more knowledgable about nutrition.

ok.......put it this way......early dinosaurs were pretty small.........but look at the size they ended up

evolution is many aspects........not only new species

One word - The were taking performance enhancing drugs that caused them, over generations to grow larger.

Ok, that was more than one word

 

[skyblue]

But that took place over millions of years--not in a few thousand.

it was a gradual process i agree......but nature has its own rules

Temper temper.

Easy does it.

Time is a relative thing. What may seem long (or short) to us may not necessarily be long or short in the broader scale of things. What we perceive as near to us could very well be further away than we think.

Unless you were a Christian, because the Bible tells us the the Earth is round...[\QUOTE]

Really, which chapter, Genesis?

It's in the book of Job. Even thought the book of Genesis is the story of the beginning, it wasn't actually written first. Job is the oldest book in the Bible. Something like 1500BC.

 

[Minor Axis]

What I want to know about evolution is, is it still happening and if not, why not?
I mean, I know it happens over millions of years but surely scientists would be able to find some proof, however minor that it's still happening?

If you believe in evolution, it's happening today, but noticeable evolutionary things don't happen over night.

Mhmm...very interesting, yet inaccurate videos, AEF.

Here's something you should read:
Neanderthals are a modern human race. Therefore, Homo erectus is also a modern human race. Alan Thorne and Philip Macumber, who discovered the skulls, interpreted them both as Homo sapiens skulls, whereas they actually contained many features reminiscent of Homo erectus . The only reason they were treated as Homo sapiens was the fact that they were calculated to be 10.000 years old. Evolutionist did not wish to accept the fact that Homo erectus , which they considered a "primitive" species and which lived 500.000 years before modern man, was a human race which lived 10.000 years ago.
