I'm only going to explain this one more time since your biology book obviosly didn't. Just because bacteria and viruses are adapting in scientific lab experiments is not proof that I share a common ancestor with apes. OMG you crack me up .
Not only has it been witnessed both in the lab and in nature, we are ACTIVELY applying it in modern medicine. If the theory was wrong, we wouldn't have all those meds
Well if I did, you would probably claim I was evolving..
Just because you close your eyes and ears to facts doesn't change anything...evolution is a FACT. And you can scream like a little girl until you turn blue, that won't change anything
Thats just your excuse to try to explain why you have no proof. The fact is that if evolution worked the way evolution it's explained to, there should be mountains of fossils and proof, but there isn't one iota of it anywhere.
150 years is to evolution what 1 second is to your lifetime. The fossil record is incomplete as a record of evolution is a misnomer. The fossil record is one piece of evidence for evolution and even if we had no fossils at all the theory would still stand. Evolution does not require that we find every single species along a chain of evolutionary history to show that evolution has occurred.
I have allready provided links showing that evolution is a hypothesis, and those were links that your fellow evolutionists gave to me.
Are you really this disillusioned or merely unable to bring your game up to the level of debate that would actually require you to support your claims.
In order for you to dispute the theory of evolution you must be prepared to demonstrate that you actually understand the concepts you are trying to refute. Your previous characterization of "species morphing into something else" is the latest blunder of a number that have been pointed out so far that inhibits your ability to provide real criticisms. No one and no theory suggests the things you are proclaiming so what you are doing is actually attacking an idea that no one believes in. It's just more distortions and ignorance based on your personal incredulity and totaly ignores the evidence to the contrary
No the fossil record is incomplete because pink unicorns don't exist.

This is the last time, just like I said last time, that I will explain this to you. Evolution conveniently attacked the process of adaptation to evolution with no proof or reason. It's only because of this that scientists are claiming that evolutionary changes are taking place in bacteria and viruses. They are adaptation they are not evolving, there is a clear difference.
We don't just witness evolution in bacteria. For crying out loud tooth, buy a biology book. I'm amazed at how your mini religion that has zero facts behind it clouds your mind from reality. You're no better than any other religious fundamentalist.
If he didn't get this notion from Pye, but from somone else, but Pye happens to concur, would you accept it or simply throw it out if Pye believes in it?
Can you link any of those mainstream scientists? Can't find anything on google. The only clown I find is that ebook seller Pye.

So then I was right, my friend that smoked while pregnant, causing ADHD in the child, would be considered evolution. You keep saying ANY changes, and you don't have proof of where those changes came from, so there you go.
If they adapt they change...their DNA changes...which is EXACTLY how evolution is defined, as a change in allele frequency
Hilarious that your "counter point" actually confirms exactly what evolution is, the exact opposite of your conclusion
OMG, the human genome is public information, OMG your such a clown, why don't you contest his findings and prove him wrong?
I don't care who agrees...all I care about is OBJECTIVE EVIDENCE, something Pye never bothered to provide. Even worse, the only time he allowed peer reviews they proved him wrong.
Smoking doesn't change your DNA
Oh, and as been pointed out dozens of times, the ADHD study you love to quote so much doesn't claim that either.
There is nothing to see, silly goose. You can't watch evolution, you can't trace it, you can't predict it, you can't project it, you can't identify it, its invisible this evolution, I'm shocked you are blind but I see why, you have chosen to believe in something that is non existant.
I'm amazed that you still don't get the very theory you attack...not even after all the info and links that have been posted. I guess your laughable mini-religion will forever prevent you from seeing reality...kinda sad
According to the press statement, Dr. Nigg has an explanation for how lead could cause ADHD. Bottom line: he thinks lead attaches to sites in the brain's striatum and frontal cortex where the metal causes specific genes to turn on or remain inactive. This disrupts brain activity and alters psychological processes supported by these neurons, he theorizes, and contributes to hyperactivity and lack of vigilance.

I think your confusing adaptation being witnessed in viruses and bacteria as actuall evolution.
I'm amazed at how dishonest you are. To claim evolution hasn't been observed is ridiculous.
The only one dumming down is YOU. Never once have you presented objective evidence that man shares a common ancesotor with apes, except to say that we use evolution in medical science, come on man, thats a far stretch.
Statements like that make it clear why I don't post my posts for your benefit (you're clearly too brainwashed by your laughable mini religion), but rather so that people don't get dumbed down by your nonsense.
Your obviously wrong because my conclusions came from the understanding to two different articles.
And read that study you linked again, because your conclusions are wrong.
They never said existing genes, but thats what you get for assuming, something that evolutionists love to do.
In short: Some (but not all) people with ADHD show common traits...as in, some of their EXISTING genes switch on or off. That's because it's a DISEASE that MAY (again, he clearly says those genes COULD have an influence on that disease manifesting...not that it must be the case) cause the disease.
Not in that one but there are others that do.
Also, nowhere does he say it's an inheritable condition!!
Your the only one adding your own words to it, not me.
So please, stop trying to dump people down by misinterpreting scientific studies just because in your mind (and only your mind) it "fits" your bat# crazy mini-religion

Gravity started out as a random word, do you actually think they invented the name before the discovery? Target food is full of objective evidence, perhaps the best is how the squirrel is in phase 2 of hunger and its even explained in the wiki that they go into hunger durring this point. There is so much objective evidence that it's an observed fact.
No, gravity is a fully backed up theory that was given a name. A theory that is backed up by OBJECTIVE EVIDENCE and DETAILED MEASURED CALCULATIONS. Your "target food" on the other hand is a random word you made up, then assigned a random definition to it, never bothered to post any evidence to support your definition and claims, and then pretended it's somehow real and a prerequisite for evolution.
And no, you can't observe a MADE UP WORD
Other than as a post on ATS that is
Of course the term is made up, you have to give the process a name, there is no other way to identify it. Now evolution got its name prior to any facts. There are still large holes in the theory of evolution. There are no holes in the theory of target food, its solid as a rock.

If evolution makes DNA changes in an organism, and you are speaking about it after the fact, you can say caused. Something had to make those changes and even if it were magic, or unidentified evolution, there is always cause and effect. The process of evolution is not different to this scientific term, with the exception that its process has never been identified, in other words we aren't sure that its evolution in process or things like ADHD that appear to be changing our genes.
Why is it so hard for them to understand that evolution is a process, not a cause?
Evolution isn't the cause, it's the PROCESS. The cause can be a whole array of things like changes in the environment, changes in food sources, competition from another species...toooons of reasons. Those are causing the process to take place.
I won't even get into your misinterpretation of ADHD studies because you made it clear your too brainwashed by your mini-religion to objectively look at a scientific study
But someone at some point had to make up that term, see its all made up.
It's not made up! It dates from 1509 and comes from the Latin "gravitatem", which means "weight, heaviness, or pressure". The first scientific use dates from 1641 (before Newton was even born) and "gravitate" dates from 1692.
