Lets see if you guys are less retarded.

Every time I think abkout the evo meme I feel it's more 'obvious falsehood' backed only by society's 'oh but everyone knows that it's true!'

Jesus Christ if this guy wasn't the original troll he was a fucking autist. How do you defend

>animal randomly mutates wings, the neural wiring to use those wings, the muscles to control them, and body weight tailored to flying at once, then breeds with other non-mutant animals, diluting the wing gene with every successful breeding, until finally… a bird is born?!

Even however many billion years isn't enough for this shit. The jews want animals. They want you to think you are animals. This is how they do it.

I'm not even a fucking christfag. If this was anything close to logically feasible, I would latch onto it like a slut onto dick.

it makes us consider ourselves animals. the masses, truly, ARE animals. but i am more.

>>76138840
what? no.

it's the idea that, in a world so dangerous only the strong survive, animals continue via constantly changing into higher forms of life. it's impossible

you can't randomly grow fully functional wings the body shape to fly, and the ability to control your wings. not in one generation.

and a gradual growth over generations is improbable. winglets provide no defensive value, and if anything make other animals avoid the mutant. never mind the problem of breeding with nonmutants and contaminated bloodlines
>>
Lol. More people that don't understand contemporary evolutionary theory. Lol @ magic believers.

>>76139262

precisely. regardless of origin, we are the prime species. where animals survive, we dominate and create. to lower ourselves to the level of animals is bullshit.

But that's exactly what evolution is.
Let's say we have birds and giant frogs, with the frogs preying on the birds, who can't take off fast enough to avoid the frogs.

>A bird gets born different due to genetic happenstance
>Bird has lighter bones, is better at taking off quickly
>Survives due to it's ability to avoid the frogs.
>Mates with other normal bird
>Has 6 children
>Half of the children have light bones
>One third of the lighter boned birds survive due to frog avoidance
>Two thirds of the normal babies die from frogs
>Those two light boned birds mate with other normal birds
>Repeat until all birds have light bones

It's not exactly "poof evolution", it's just selective survival.

>not even a fucking christfag
I actually am and believe evolution is part of God's plan. Why design everything arduously from the start when you can spend a fraction of the time designing a system to do it for you? That's not quite my belief, I believe God is in all natural systems, but it also gives God greater control over the product whilst it's being developed.

Basically, God doesn't like fags like you so it can manipulate the selection of all women to find you and everyone like you repulsive. Ipso facto, you stop existing in under a few generations.

randomly obtaining entire wings is bullshit. if yo7 support this, you are beyond hope. wings slowly growing by chance and an animal randomly gaining the neural wiring and body shape to use those wings? bullshit. winglets wouldn't survive past the first mutation. they do nothing.

You completely missed the point. You described micro evolution, more commonly known as adaptation. No one is arguing against that. The problem here is macro evolution, the claim that one species can swap to an entire different genus or phylum or even order over a couple generations. It just isn't possible, as op has described a couple times.

I read somewhere that the odds of the least complex protein forming randomly are still 1 in 10^160 and statistical chemistry says it would be 10^243 years for that single most basic protein to form

Carry the odds out further for those proteins forming RNA

Some of those changes form "mutations," rarely enough to cause anything notable but over thousands of years these changes can be built up and then selected back by humans to only allow positive changes.

We were designed by the sun/universe and our human group consciousness fine tuned it. We were designed by God and evolution proves it.

I think you overestimate the complexity that can develop with time. Have you ever worked with drosophilia melangaster? You can make them "evolve" in the span of a month, as their generational rates are so high. For complex, larger, slower-reproducing animals it takes millions, hundreds of millions of years. Selective breeding of corn and dogs is "evolution" to an extent, albeit with human interference as a selective pressure.

>>76140868
I wouldn't doubt it, evolution works very slowly and the amount of mutation animals receive is almost always so, so slight. That's the logical, rational answer.

If mutations are the source of humans and not the source of a natural system, such as our local star or the cosmic radiation of the universe, both of which have origins in the big bang, perhaps that mutation becomes necessarily harmful and necessarily not the will of God. Perhaps only mutation from a natural source can result in positive mutations. That's the Christfag answer.

ok here it goes.
DNA can randomly mutate and either have no effect OR have an effect that has a positive or negative effect on whether the organism gets to reproduce.
this is a fucking FACT and you can see this whenever they breed a new virus or whatever resistant plant. scientists even use radiation breeding to speed things up thats how we got penicillin.
another nice instance was the peppered moth tl:dr there once was a light grey moth that blended in with light gray trees.industrial revolution came along covering trees with sooth for decades and the moths that happened to have darker patterns lived and passed on their new genes until the moths were dark grey. now with clean air standards and a less industrialized europe the lighter morphs are increasing in frequency

There is no such thing as "devolution", that implies an objective standard or higher ranking of organic sophistication, which is scientifically unsubstantiated.

An individual evolved palmed arms that could be used to leap and catch small prey, that individual's descendents grew smaller and smaller until they were light enough to fly. You get bats. Etc.

Intelligent design theory have good arguments against evolution desu. Like the irredutional complexity, in which complex biological system (like a bacteria flange engine system) had to appear with all it's components at once in a mutation or it wouldn't work and would be descarted by natural selection, such systems couldn't be developed by random small mutations as you can see.

"Darwinism" is neither religious or dogmatic, microevolution is a fact you can observe and prove empirically. Unless you're thinking of "social darwinism", which is a perversion of Darwinian natural selection used as a sociological copout like "trickledown economics" in the 1900s. No real relation, you can "believe" in evolution without being a social darwinist.

Speaking of microorganisms, I've done research in evobio with endogenous retroviruses. Pretty amazing how we share 14 or so (that we know of) binding sites with retroviruses with chimpanzees.

It's odd that most of the arguments against evolution still come from structure, when genetics is far and away the strongest evidence.

What is interesting as well, is that claudes which are further away such as gibbons have some, but not all of the endogenous retrovirus insertions.

That's pretty damn compelling when you consider that for an ERV to hard-code into our DNA it had to be present in a pure ancestor sex cell, then carried down the line, and that the place the viral DNA was written to is precisely the same receptor sites across species. Pretty crazy when you have so many millions and millions of base pairs to deal with in the genome.

I mean, hell, another easy one is the vitamin C genes which are partially preserved in the human genome, yet broken...but you can see the region similarities with other great apes.

Well, if evolution is a lie, then it would be fascinating to learn how God created. The physics and chemistry and biology and geology seems to suggest that God creates like a mathematician and engineer rather than just a sculptor or a painter. 'God did it' is only descriptive and still begs the question HOW he made and assembled and created, like why God chose the same parts for a lot of species/kinds. Why redundant DNA?

But no one actually claims to know how life formed. Evolution doesn't even touch on the beginnings of life, just what happened after life began.

Something like that becomes even more likely when you consider that we've found evidence of primitive life on Mars.

You adapt to your environment through epigenetics. The activation and deactivation of already existent genes. Mutations destroy the beneficial nature of genes. Deletions of genes is sometimes also introduced. However we have never ever observed the introduction of new information.

The reason incest is bad is because of the deletarious mutations have increased every generation at a rate of 100 more every generation. We have about 6000 in every person now. If a close relative breeds, these bad mutations activate and cause horrible defects.

God introduced no incest laws in Leviticus which was around 2500 years after creation but he did not initiate them prior. I bet he didn't because the original Adam and Eve and the many that followed were closer to the perfect creation before the fall. The fall is still happening today.

No it doesnt. You're a moron who doesnt know physics. Thermodynamics doesnt conflict with change through random mutations.
Evolution has been observed many times all throughout the 20th century. How do you think new strains of diseases emerge which are immune to our antibiotics?

Scientists are in an arms race with bacteria and we are constantly 10-20 years away from our drugs failing to work.

How do you think those bacteria become resistant? Through evolution. In fact, because bacteria reproduce so quickly the number of iterations of changes happens fast enough that we can observe adaptation and change into new species in human time scales.

>It's completely reasonable to think that god created life on earth and then let it work it's course.
To some extent this is true however we end up with a road block. We end up seeing the common ancestor to Dogs, Horses and Donkeys having an Original Kind.

This is not evolution. This is specialization through devolution. He created Eden in a perfect way but it fell with Adam and started decaying ever since turning into all sorts of different species because of mutations.

are you stupid?

I really don't understand what your second sentence is supposed to mean.

As far as a precursor animal evolving wings and hollow bones, those are changes which would accumulate over time. A great supporting detail for evolution is vestigial organs and bones/muscles.

Humans have vestigial ear muscles, suggesting our ancestors once had well developed ears which they could reposition toward sounds. Another is certain ligaments/muscles on our forearm which are completely unnecessary. Of course everyone knows about the appendix. We have traces of what used to be a tail (and we even form a tail temporarily during fetal development).


Animals also dont have optimized features for their environment. Rather, many features are compromises which are adaptations of existing features (such as adding an inflatable skirt to a car to make it amphibious).

If animals were the product of intelligent design, why arent they optimized for their niche the way any engineered device is? Look at an airplane vs a bird.

How about eyes?

Evolution itself is a fact. We know species can undergo change over time in response to stimuli and eventually become new species by virtue of no longer being able to have offspring with the members of their original species (finches for example).

However there are many unknowns in large part because such change occurs over geological time scales, not human ones, so we cant observe it happen in real time with complex animals and organisms.

The exact mechanism by which change can happen is also not fully understood. One theory I've read about is that it happens in bursts of rapid change follosed by a long period of stability. The changes themselves are probably targeted and guided to some extent by dormant mechanisms and sub routines in the DNA of animals.

Evolution is the inevitable result of the fact that the traits of living organisms are passed onto their offspring, this process of reproduction is imperfect (you don't create a clone of yourself) and the differences that arise from this process within a species lead to some organisms having greater reproductive success than others.

If you don't believe in evolution it's because you don't understand what genes are or how reproduction works.

Evolution is perfectly compatible with Christianity and a belief in God. It's the process by which he works.

Oh I'm not personally against the notion of evolution, just the likelihood of abiogenesis.

I also think those calculations were for a protein that's a chain of 160 amino acids even though there are far shorter self-replicating proteins that we know about, let alone ones we don't

And the statical kinetics include only the odds of a single instance, I.e. no parallel instances even though we're talking about the entire earth

It actually is way more likely and could potentially happen, but our fossil record shows single-celled organisms in the first 100MM to 500MM years, meaning cells with membranes and chromosomal DNA, which is exponentially more complicated

There's also the simple idea that our reality only exists as our singular perception within the multiverse and the odds of all this existing is irrelevant because our consciousness wouldn't exist in the realities without the specific phenomena necessary

Repeating a gene is the definition of evolution, as has been pointed out in quite a few posts already. Take a class, accept empirical evidence and stop trolling.

Christian.
I can spare you the time on trying to say I appeal to an authority though - I can believe God created the world 2.8 seconds ago, with the Bible in my hand and all my memories of a past that never actually existed, and that all my understanding of everything isn't dependent on any other soul.

They already did the, "What's next?"

It's called Flat Earth. And those threads are just as braindead as the anti-evolution threads.

FUCK

>A new approach, which is both historical and comparative, has recently been proposed by E.J. Michael Witzel.[6] He compares collections of mythologies of various cultures, from Iceland and Egypt to the Mayas, and reconstructs increasingly older levels, parallel to but not necessarily dependent on language families (see above). The most prominent common feature is a story line that extends from the creation of the world and of humans to their end. This feature is found in the northern mythologies of Eurasia and the Americas ("Laurasia") while it is missing in the southern mythologies of Subsaharan Africa, New Guinea and Australia ("Gondwanaland"). The latter is the older one, going back to the dispersal of Homo sapiens out of Africa, some 65,000 years ago.

In the end, the average person can survive and reproduce without believing in evolution or creationism or any degree of blending between the two camps.

You're a fucking idiot and I'm surprised you can even fucking operate a computer to get onto this board. Evolution doesn't mean that animals randomly mutate adaptations in order to get a leg up, it is the completely unavoidable logical consequence of the fact that more fit to survive creatures will survive longer (and breed more) than less fit. Therefore positive adaptation builds upon positive adaptation. Evolution is nor a magical force trying to keep animals alive by sticking on extra parts, it's natural fucking selection. This is the fucking American education system at work. I don't fucking care if you're a troll. Consider yourself fed. FUCK you're an idiot.

No. This evolution stuff is bullshit. Not even 6 billion years would be a long enough time line for creatures to evolve to where they are today.

oh no no, good sir, i was not going to call you on appealing to god. i also appeal to god, and probably the christian one.
HOWEVER
you would not be a christian today had the emperor constantine, nor any other ancient proponent on christianity had furthered the idea through the populace. constantine became a christian because his mother loved christianity. isnt that funny? constantine appealed to his mother.
What you are proposing, that all humans deserve equal respect, is degenerative. some ideas are better than others. this is how some people create electric cars, and other people are born retarded. like literally, mentally retarded.
what you are propoosing does away with any passing down of traditions, whether they be scientific or philosophic or religious.
humanity would not have lasted this long if we all just respected everyone else's ideas and perceptions of the world as equal.
there have been and are plenty of people who want to kill christians, who think that rape and abuse of women are perfectly fine ideas. i say these people, and people like you, will be weeded out by the vary theory that you cant buy into. im sorry the educational system failed you, and im sorry you will likely have an unfulfilling, unlistened to life. goodbye.

No use arguing that intelligence is the most key trait to survival, it's also the easiest to evolve, because every organism has a brain. Intelligence is mostly genetics and animals that grow clustered brain matter faster and have more capacity for brain matter survive more. What more do you need?

>>
>>76144164
Why because you said so? You laid out some false premises then proceeded to draw a baseless conclusion.

Changes which are positive or neutral will be passed on all the same, and can arise in multiple animals. Not every animal has a low chance of survival. Changes to some extent might also be guided by programs that lie dormant in DNA, which activate in response to environmental stressors.

You are just ignorant.

Cope.

It's not even 6 billion years because it's not until many billions of years after the planet's creation did life start.

There is no fucking way in such a short period of time that so many positive "microevolution" mutations occurred and survived to change creatures that drastically.

The odds are heavily stacked against the creatures. You're just blindly believing in something highly /highly/ improbable because you think it makes you sound smart, and it's widely accepted.

>animal randomly mutates wings

An animal cannot simply just grow wings. It seems like most tards who deny evolution don't actually understand the concept. Your kid cannot be born with a new body part, this takes millions of years of transitioning.

> the neural wiring to use those wings, the muscles to control them, and body weight tailored to flying at once, then breeds with other non-mutant animals

People are born with mutations every day but the vast majority of them are disabilities, and the same applies to every living organism. Mutations aren't as rare as you think, and when animals do change (over time, of course) it happens to a large amount of them at the same time over time.

>diluting the wing gene with every successful breeding, until finally… a bird is born?!

Is this hard for you to grasp? Read up natural selection...

> Even however many billion years isn't enough for this shit.

The same way they defend picrelated. They're autistic neckbeard retards

>>76144289
oh lord help us.
that is an incredibly narcissistic worldview.
you know who else actually believes they are the sole experiencers of the world?
infants, who have not gotten through their egoistic period of development. who think that when someone walks out of their line of sight, they cease to exist. of course, ANYONE can understand the world this way. but this is probably not a person who is happy nor altrustic. what would be the justification for doing any good in the universe, for any strivings, if it was all just the fevered dream of an inpatient in an intergalatic psych war?
so i am arguing on the internet with an almost literate infant.
man.
im sad for myself for trying.

not believing in a god does not take away from any meaning or experience of the divine, it just makes you create your own meaning from the muck.
