Evolution
Who here does not beleive in evolution?.
I was having an interesting conversation with someone from work, when said person started going on about how evolution was bullshit and how its "obvious" God created the universe because no one can explain how everything was created. So i ask him "If thats the case then how do you explain God?"...his only response was "Uh...God's like the ever-present being". ARGH i was so ENRAGED i beat him about the head with a paperweight. I'm keen to hear a real argument from someone who does not beleive in evolution. Please keep flaming at a minimal. |

One question. There is a random tribe (African i believe) that has pretty much kept to itself over the years. They use the back of their necks to balance heavy loads on. (Water carriers etc) They eventually got a slight buildup of muscle and bone on their upper backs and neck, due to their constant usage. Over generations, this growth has become more predominant, growing larger than the one before, to the point that babies of the tribe are born with it. Is this, or is this not, evolution in action? |

Personal opinions... I repsonaly do not beleive in Evolution although I DO think that earth is older than 10,000 year... duh obviously it is...
I dont think this thread is going to go any where except lots of swearing and bad tantrums aswell as many broken keyboards, mice, cases and smashed windows in the process... There is no point to this... NO ONE can prove anything for all I care dino's could of been walking around 100 years ago... I cant prove that they werent.... neither can you... |

Actually, I think you'd be better off googling. Here's a quick link. I think the main difference is that adaptation is the individual creature, or even a group of creatures changing to fit the environment. There is a causal link between the environment and the change in the creature. Evolution is random chance. A mutation occurs in a creature, which happens to be advantageous to the creature, enabling it to survive better (natural selection) and pass on its genes. Adaptation is causal, evolution is not. |

So something like opposable thumbs is evolution? or adaption?

CHRISTIAN APOLOGETICS & RESEARCH MINISTRY http://www.carm.org/evo_questions/adaption.htm Question: Are evolution and adaptation different? Response: "Evolution" is such a broad term, simply meaning "change," that it can be stated quite honestly that adaptation qualifies as a type of evolution. However, when "evolution" is stated to the layperson, the concept is of one sort of organism, like a bacteria, through time, chance, mutations, and natural selection, becoming another sort of organism, like an elephant. If this is the sort of evolution being referred to, then adaptation is in a different category altogether. Adaptation is the process whereby a series of variations already within a population gets winnowed down to the few that are best suited to any particular environment. This is not a matter of adding anything new to the genetic material of the population, but simply weeding out what is not working as well as some other variations. For instance, a population of bears which wandered north at some point, gradually lost members with less fat, less aggressiveness, and darker fur, eventually leaving us with the white, aggressive, and fat-layered polar bear. There may have been some mutations or combinations which increased the fat or the aggressiveness or the lightness of color, but nothing which changed the essential "bear-ness" of the beast. This is radically different from the type of evolution which posits that some kind of unicellular organism through millions of mutations became that bear in the first place. Helen Fryman |

A good example of adaptation in every day human life is callouses. Repeated rubbing or bumping makes your body change. Have a look at the two fingers you use to grip your pen with when writing, or compare the fingertips on the two hands of a guitarist. |
Dammit! Now I have to find another silly picture.

Who wants to hear about the rash I had on my scrotum a couple of months ago?

Ooooh, so that's what the pic Uncle G posted was of.

i personally take the view of physicists the world over, and ignore anything non-physics related, ie. biology.
i do think the universe is on the order of 15 billion years tho. |

you better look under the sea~~

Now, if humanity all used the Scientific Method before believing things, then we wouldn't have these sorts of threads.
