Evolution Cannot be Proven

reply to post by Equinox99


Im no expert, but i think its because the environment in which you live forces you to evolve to fit to it.


A bacteria was found near a nylon factory, eating nylon. Well, nylon is completely synthetic and undigestable to other bacteria. It was invented in 1935. So were nylon eating bacteria living in the garden of eden? Living on nothing but air and love? Maybe god gave some bacteria the gift of nylon eating in 1935?

Or maybe it was evolution causing them to evolve somewhere between the invention of nylon and their discovery? Well, to put it to the test, they put some other bacteria in a nylon rich invironment, and indeed they evolved to be able to digest it.


DNA hold many answers, for example chickens. They dont have teeth, but since their ancestors did, its code is still in their DNA. If we activate the right gene we WILL get a chicken with teeth.

So if I was to live by the sea, go swimming everyday, go fishing, I would evolve fins? Some bacteria could live in environments that are impossible to harbor life, but we don't.

It is a known fact that darkness attracts more heat isn't that correct? How come African-Americans did not evolve into white humans? There are so many flaws with evolution, and until it is perfected, I will sit by and believe in nothing.

Like I mentioned earlier, I am not a creationist nor am I an evolutionist. It is just something about both stories that do not add up.

Dark skin prevents an essential B vitamin, folate, from being destroyed. So a person with dark skin in the tropics would live longer, be more healthy and more likely to reproduce than a person with light skin.

As dark skin prevents sunlight from penetrating the skin it hinders the production of vitamin D3. Hence when humans migrated to less sun-intensive regions in the north, low vitamin D3 levels became a problem and lighter skin colors started appearing.

i wish at least a few more of you would read "On the Origin of Species" before acting like evolution is science.

It is not.

Evolution is an aspect of a rather modern religion i call materialism.

The Materialist is every bit as fanatical in their beliefs as the Christian or the Muslim, and requires no proof at all to support their fanatical beliefs.

Saying all that is missing is "a missing link" is like saying all that's missing from a bridge across the grand canyon is a "missing span".

But what's your point?? As you are already able to swim what would be the need to have gills???

An human of african descent wouldn't need to evolve a white pigment as their skin has already evolved to cope with solar radiation, look at how white skinned people's moles are brown , how are these caused??? Sun radiation. For a black pigment to turn pure white would be devolution.

Your logic is baffling, Evolution doesn't claim to have the definitive truth it is after all only a theory, Creationism says it's the only truth and it cannot be questioned.

Evolution encourages questioning and trying to disprove it as that is 'evolution' after all it's provided more answers to us all than sitting around for 3000 years worshipping a man in the sky.

Of course everything doesn't add up yet, which is more proof we're still evolving slowly over time.

I don't know. I guess it's just the fact that people's near death experiences let's them see the same thing over and over again. The white light. The creator if you will. I think it makes as much sense as we came from magic dust which turned into this whole universe.

Could you please see my above post? Even if there is "something" more, it doesn't validate the Bible (not sure if that's what you're saying). That being said- I don't think anyone will debate that evolution, if not driven by "intelligence" (as we know it) is at least steered by consciousness. We know this because, well- "I think, therefore I am." We all just_know_this. So it's not really a leap to say that since everything very probably has a 'single source' there is also a single source of consciousness. We are but aspect of that single source, being tricked by our current energy configuration (or body) into seeing reality in a certain way. So what do we call this single source? Call it God if you like. And accept that in this way "God created religion" and "God created science." You see? Evolution is just a word for 'what occurs.' We do our best from our limited perspective to get an idea of the 'bigger picture' and we do this by connecting the dots. Anyone who really connects the dots can see that "evolution" indeed occurs, and will always occur, probably in more ways than we're capable of understanding at this time.

Okay.. That being said- I need to stop coming on here and posting stoned.

Melanin produced in the skin protects us from the harmful rays of the sun. It is what makes you tan, and what makes Blacks black. The intense sun of the African savanah is what caused this trait in the species. When a portion of the species migrated to Europe, an Ice age and colder, cloudier weather decreased the need for this trait, so it went away in that portion of the species. African Americans have only been on this continent for 300 to 400 years, a blink in evolutionary standards, so that is a ridiculous example. It has been measured that we are getting taller and smarter, which are examples of evolution. And what exactly are these flaws you speak of?

Increasing intelligence: The Flynn effect

Height and intelligence

It is amazing that people doubt evolution. The "theory" in evolution is that evolution occurs due to natural selection. That it actually occurs is not debated by any scientists anywhere. You can't have a theory without an observable phenomenon said theory is meant to explain. The only debate on evolution comes from the religious sector. The theory of evolution by natural selection is the very bedrock of biological science. It successfully predicted the existence of DNA and is largely responsible for every single medical advancement of the last 70 years. At this point, people who deny that evolution occurs are exactly the same as people who claim the Earth is flat. They are wrong.

What it reallly boils down to is that if creationists concede that evolution happened, then they would have to admit that the Bible isn't completely true, and therefore they would have to doubt the rest of it. Their faith in the Divine is so weak that it could not stand up to such a fact. It would mean that they would have to make up their own minds about matters of spirituality and not just rely on what they are told.

LOL!



Intelligent design does not even mean that your definition of a god created all things. I believe in science but i still know that your opinion of a god is childish.

There would yield a higher food source from the oceans than on land. Being small mammals, they were prone to many predators had they searched for food deep in land, where as they could comb the beaches for small fish, crustaceans, and so on, with relative ease.

Well, then again they would have a big variety of predators in the sea would they not? I mean not too long ago they found the fossil of a giant sea creature.

The Earth is not flat...I am sure none of us are that dumb.

OK, let me ask all those creationists one simple question: Can you show me one, just one, peice of scientific proof that supports the creation myth? Now this means that you have to use a reputable scientific source, not just quote some creationist website. Something that actually has some data behind it. Good luck! While your at it, show me anything other than the Bible itself to support the arguement that it was 'Divinely inspired'. The weight of this arguement is on you, after all, since there is plenty of data which does not support your position.

'As always, if you are caught or captured, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions. Good Luck, Jim!'

In other words, Mission: Impossible!

Although im not religious, i cant say that the sound of a creator is all that silly. It would be easier to believe the bible if i could do "magic." But to tell you the truth, science disproves itself. They say the big bang created all matter or whatever, well i wanna know where the whole "cant create something out of nothing" idea went. How did the atoms, elements, etc come to be to form the components needed for a big bang to occur? According to science its impossible. That doesnt stop people from seeing it as a could-be alternative way for the "spawning" of the universe. Maybe a god does exist, and he implemented evolution to see how things worked out. Maybe he sees us as a big science project. I would also like the bible to explain prehistoric things like dinosaurs. Maybe you say the world was empty before adam and eve were created. Apparantly (if im not mistaken) this was within the past 10000 or so years. Well, what was god doing with it for the first millions of years? Perhaps it was just man that was created recently. Why doesnt he tell us what was here before man? And what was its purpose here? sorry i may be a bit biased, havent read the whole bible yet, thought it was good advice but some of the stories were terribly fictitious, like a creative mind like shakespeare wrote them.

If evolution cannot be proven, then answer me this: If evolution does not happen, why is the CDC worried about the Bird Flu jumping species? It would require it to evolve in order to do this!

How come??? Mutation that is how come.There is a bit of a difference between mutation and evolution.According to some evolutions they go hand in hand but I am not so sure that would be the case with a virus.

Very good info on this sight with a bit of insight on creation.I have shared this link on another thread but do not believe any have really read even this one page.There is enough fact on this one page to show that creation is not only a viable possibilty but that it is unscientific to see it as just "bang" lightening strikes a primordail soup and there ya have it life....just a few billions years and here ya have everything else of life in the world.Geeze come on, and you say creation is a dumb idea? Please read this one page alone and see if you dont question your beliefs.It was intelligent design not just an accident in an ocean of soup.....


www.creationism.org...

Had to add this as in the other thread there seemed to be a few who wanted to pick and choose when evolution started and it was stated that it started with the first two organisms. This is wrong by their own science as here is a link to what evolutionist believe is the timeline of evolution and according to their very teachings (Harvard and all) it started way before the first two organisms.

OK, are you sure you are arguing for creation? Mutation is the cornerstone of evolution!

As for your sources, I answered the first one on that thread you were refering to:

OK, let's look at the author of your 'source'. I did some checking, and he has a Bachelor's Degree from Oregon State University and a Masters in Theology from Dallas Theological Seminary! A Masters in Theology certainly does not make him an expert in Biology! Try to find a source who actually has some type of science degree, please!

About Thomas Heinze

The second source supports the theory of evolution. Are you sure it's the one you wanted to use?

ED. And I do have a problem with the quality of the scientific education of a theologist! Not to mention the bias.
