Is evolution real?

Hit me with your best shot darwinists. No bibble refrences, just science.

First of all, the theory of evolution does not hold that humans evolved from the ape species, but that we shared a common ancestor. The newest genetic evidence suggests that we are almost identical to chimps and gorillas, as they have almost the same chromosome count, ABO blood type base, and brain structure.

Second, the missing links do not disprove evolution. Did you know that only two continents, Europe and North America, have been thoroughly excavated for fossil remains? Can you imagine how many more fossil records we'll have when Asia and Africa, the two largest land masses, have been excavated?

Evolution is the only credible explanation for the origin of human species.

evolution is very real, it's a slow process but it's happening right now, squid are evolving RIGHT NOWW!!(:

oh God, how are squid eveolving!?!?!?! I already know theres damn flesh eating squid out there and giant squid. what now, heat seaking missle squid! ugh. also, theres was this one comodoe dragon that was self fertilized. males were not enough or nonexsistent, so in order to continue the species, she self fertilized! the evidence is out there!

It's hard to explain but The Science Channel (if you get it) or the Discovery Channel have good movies on evolution if you really want to know you can look at the schdual on the website. There is also fossil evidence. They also teach it in school's now.

just saw something on jon stewart, guy wrote a book on how we evolved from fish... might want to read that...

alright science evolotion
well the scientist say that modern day birds of evolotion of some type of raptores
ah I cant think right now a lot of animals evoled

A good source to read is Stephen Jay Gould book A Panda's Thumb' or 'Ever Since Darwin'.

Gould also said that science and religion occupy two separate realms of human experience. Demanding that they be combined detracts from the glory of each. (He also included ART and BEAUTY as having their own realms.)

Perhaps I should clarify between microevolution and macroevolution. Micro is the tiny day day stuff that changes within a species. Macro is species eventually becoming other species. The debate on evolution is all about macro. So please, if your a darwinist try to prove that so I can offer a rebuttle.

Evolution itself is very real. But whether or not humans evolved from apes is a different, and still unproven, matter.

Species don't change into other species, they have a common ancestor and evolve from that.

Humans did not evolve from apes, they evolved from a common ancestor.

Then that common ancestor would had to have evolved into all the different species that we see today for what you are saying to be true. The arguement is just about humans, but all creatures in general.

Evolution is mathmatically impossiple and this is why. Evolutionists say life starting evolving 3 billion years ago. I'll give them 30 billion. The simpiliest protein in the human body has 400 linked amino acids in a distinct order. I'm going to simpifly to a 100 amino acid protein with a distinct order. to figure out all the options available you would have to use a factorial, which is multiplying 100 by 99 by 98 and so on so forth until you reach one. What you arrive at is 10 to the 158th power. That's a one with 158 zeros behind it. 30 billion years only has 10 to the 18th power seconds in it. If you divide 10 to the 158th power with 10 to the 18th power you end up with 10 to the 140th power. That means every second on the second you would have to go through 10 to the 140th power combinations for 30 billion years before the laws of propability say you would come up with the correct sequence for the protein. This after I gave them 30 billions years when they only had 3 and made the simpiliest protein simpilier by 300 amino acids. Imangine the math for all those proteins and how many combinations it would have to go through every second in 3 billion years. That is why evolution is mathmatically impossible.

that is interesting. very. fine then. mutations.

You might look into your reliance on
arguments of mathematical impossibility. The
calculations assume that for life to begin (or evolve), exact
arrangements of specific proteins must have occurred. In other
words, they calculate the probability of a specific occurrence.
The flaw therein is that there are many possible physical
arrangements that can give the same functional result. And that
applies to proteins. In other words, odds are much higher than
the creationist/Intelligent Design proponents who did those calculations
believe. Biologists and other scientists are not mathematically
stupid. If the odds against evolution were really that high,
believe me, they'd make a big fuss about it.

Yes, some scientists have doubts, but that does not invalidate evolution or validate Intelligent Design(which has zero credibility). When their doubts are observable or otherwise being able to be shown scientifically the theory will be slightly altered. Much like what Einstein did to some of Newtons work under specific circumstances. It doesn't invalidate anything newton did, it just expands knowledge.

So you don't necessarily disprove God(Intelligent Design) OR prove Intelligent Design exists when and if we ever debunk OR validate evolution.

lol it makes me laugh that people actually ask if evolution is real. people actually believe we evolved from apes. its just so ridiculous its funny.

Here's a different way of looking at it. See how you feel about this:

I'm an evangelical Christian. Jesus is my Lord and personal Saviour, and I believe that He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. I believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God and that in it, God teaches us about His relationship with the world and with humanity. The same goes for my husband. We are active members of our local evangelical church.

My husband is a professional biological scientist. I was trained in archaeology before becoming a teacher for children with learning difficulties. We are European.

We both understand the early passages of Genesis to be allegorical accounts of what really matters in the universe - that God made it, that He sees it as Good, that humans are His beloved creation and that we chose to move away from Him.

We both understand the science that points to the Big Bang, evolution etc as tools that God used to make His creation.

A Website made by evangelicals like us can be found at 'Answers in Creation'.

In response to what I've said you have several choices, I think:

a) You can say that we're not really Christians, because real Christians wouldn't believe that.

b) You can say that maybe we're Christians, but obviously we haven't really looked at the Biblical and scientific evidence on this, and if we did we'd change our minds.

c) You can say that we may be Christians, but obviously we're disobedient and have chosen to put science above God.

d) You can say: 'Well, that's interesting, obviously the Kingdom of God is a little more varied than I thought. There are people in it who think differently to me'.

e) You can agree with everything I say and decide that evolution is one of God's tools. LOL. I don't think you'll do that and I don't think you have to. But I would like you to consider option d) as a possible explanation for our different interpretations. You and I have different Christian, cultural and professional backgrounds, and I think Jesus wants us to be united in Him, not divided by details.

God bless!

I have serious doubts that a person who consistently spells Bible as bibble would understand the scientific concepts involved. Not trying to be rude - just pointing out the unlevel playing field.

***lol it makes me laugh that people actually ask if evolution is real. people actually believe we evolved from apes. its just so ridiculous its funny.***

No more ridiculous than a magician pulling a rabbit out of a hat err I mean creationism.

You should do some research on evolution, the theory doesn't conclude that we evolved from apes but a common ancestor.

On Darwin's death bed... He said Evolution was not real...
and I believe him...

Takes a lot for someone to admit they were wrong about something... Dontcha think?

He must've known something we don't...

And this really did happen!... My brother took theory of evolution in college.

It didn't really happen... it was a convoluted story by Lady Hope that has no foundation what so ever.

The story of Darwin becoming a Christian on his death bed has been debated just about as much as evolution itself.

Ugghh... I don't know if this helps, but the pope said himself that there is proof of evolution (;
Mathmatically impossible? Maybe it is. I'm no mathamatition it just doesn't sound right to me. But it still happened.
Humans(HomoSpaien) evolved just as neanderthals, primates are the most intelligent species. Humans created tools, and agriculter, making work less time consuming and easier. Which gave them time to THINK. Becoming more civilized.

Christians make me laugh. I enjoy stupid people.

Stupid people?
Did you just classify christians as stupid people?

You really do need Jesus darling.
Don't bash people just because you have nothing to believe in...
Don't bash people just because you lost your purpose in life.

Think about what you just said... That makes you a COMPLETE idiot.
