Because in order to look like a fucking leaf, that insect is bad at other things. There are always trade off for anything. The brown insects might be better at jumping or hiding in dirt. Hell, Mr. Leaf Bug probably did well for a while until creatures evolved to be smart enough to recognize shapes.

Atheists do not believe in God, changing the word order is inaccurate and shows that you do not have a good grasp of the English language. I do not speak for other atheists but personally I don't simply just believe in evolution, I accept the evidence that the scientific method tells us about nature; which is constantly under scrutiny and revision.
People reject the concept of evolution because have no grasp of time beyond their relative experience. Life is a virus, how that virus came to be is still a question unanswered, but leaves existed far before before that insect came to look like them, long before insects existed.

flying fish.
what made the fish jump out of the water and coast on the air?
it wasn't for food or mating but for some other inspiring behavior.
However, there isn't a progression of species that lead to the flying fish. In the fossil record there isnt multiitude of species with varying fin lengths for the flying fish to evolve from. there was just always one flying fish and no still no logical reason for it to fly.
No. We do not believe this was by chance.

Chance is not the same as purpose. The laws of probability exist even when you don't think the action has a purpose.

It's a fallacy that evolution will lead to "progress"
It is just a series of causes and circumstances, we cannot account for the all the things that would have been dominant species had they not been exposed to natural disasters, outbreak of disease, etc.
Life gives to itself, then takes back from itself. The Lord does fuck all. It's one, constantly expanding force trying to become one with itself, consuming itself. We are one with the fucking planet.

You don't see many missing link fossils because you don't see many fossils. It's a freak accident that they are even created because the circumstances involved are very rare.

Christianity is just believing the truth. Jesus really is God, and He really did rise from the dead.
You can say and believe that, and the rest you can leave up to Him.
In the past 150 years humanity has discovered and catagorized thousands of species that lived millions of years ago, people still won't let go of their religions because that is what most of their cultural foundations are based upon
keep the culture and pick up a fucking book besides the bible.

Even if those things were 3 feet tall they would be dangerous as all fuck. Mantids are just about the most evolved ambush hunter in the history of creatures that have ever crawled upon this Earth.
God damned things have been perfecting themselves for something like 200 million years now.

Is the 87-million-year-old praying mantis recently found encased in amber in Japan a “missing link” between mantises from the Cretaceous period and modern-day insects?
It is a rare find indeed and its true significance is still to be deciphered.
Discovered in January of this year by Kazuhisa Sasaki, director of the Kuji Amber Museum, the fossil mantis measures 0.5 inch (1.4 centimeters) from its antennae to the tip of its abdomen.
It was found buried more than six feet below the surface of an amber mine in a part of Japan that is famous for producing large amounts of amber, the northeastern Iwate Prefecture.
“I found it in a deposit that had lots of other insects (ancient flies, bees, and cockroaches) but this was the only praying mantis” said Sasaki.
The fossil mantis is partially well preserved, although its wings and abdomen are badly crushed.
According to Kyoichiro Ueda, executive curator of the Kitakyushu Museum of Natural History, it is the oldest mantis fossil ever found in Japan and only one of seven in the entire world from the Cretaceous Period.
Even more unique is the fact that this mantis is different from the other six, in that it has two spines protruding from its femur and it has mysterious, tiny hairs on its forelegs.
No mantis from this particular time period has ever been found with spines, although modern mantises have five or six on their forelegs, which help them catch prey.
“The years of the late Cretaceous period were a kind of transition phase between the ancient and modern worlds, and this fossil displays many intermediate elements between the two eras” said Ueda.
Time alone will reveal the significance of this important find.

>he doesn't know what a theory means in a scientific context
Tip: when scientists attempt to interpret something and come up with an explanation that fits the data they have, it's called a hypothesis. Next the scientists gather more data and empirical evidence to test their hypothesis and if the data and the testing support that hypothesis, and it leaves no doubt the hypothesis is true, then it becomes a theory. A hypothesis only becomes a theory when the data available and the tests carried out all point towards that hypothesis being the most accurate way to explain a phenomenon.
Scientists are very reluctant to state something as a fact, but a theory is the damn closest thing.

Ok this is the perfect thread to ask this. I have wanted to ask a biologist but I know none and the internet is not helpful.
See things like a bug looking like a leaf I can get. Bugs who look leafyer from random mutation survive better and pass down their superior genes and more bugs look like them. This keeps getting better and better.
Here is what I don't get. Shit like these three.

Now how in the ever loving fuck do traits like these show up? Like what made a wasp one day go: "Ima put my egg in that ladybug", then inside the ladybug the baby wakes up and is like, "I am gonna mind control this thing using chemicals."?
These things are just insane! Hell how did something randomly mutate so far that it could learn to fly?
Please I know jack shit. I would love to know the answer.
One God faggots.
Not 1+1+1=3
I think god might have set it in motion and just let it run wild. Evolution and god both exist.

I'd have to google it up. I was semi-pulling 200 million out of my ass just as a round number for insects in general (as well as aquatic arthropods & arachnids), and the split between the Paleozoic and Mesozoic Eras is generally an easy boundary to remember. There was a massive Permian Extinction Event at about 250 million and there was a massive and rapid evolutionary explosion in critters following that, so unGodly numbers of weird shit was turning up by the fuckton up into the Cretaceous Period.

>Now how in the ever loving fuck do traits like these show up?
They're generated at random and turn out to be beneficial. It's just like with a lottery. If you have a 10 digit number, and write a program that can generate 10 digits numbers at random, at some point you're going to hit it, whether you know the number in advance or don't. Intelligence just speeds up the process, it's not necessary in survival. There's plenty of survival going on without any thought process whatsoever
>>70336893
>Hell how did something randomly mutate so far that it could learn to fly?
You can be born with a membrane between your limbs that let's you fall slower from a tree. If it's useful you end up with a lot of kids with membranes. Some of your descendants might get better membranes and maybe even elongated fingers to make said membranes bigger. Now they can glide from tree to tree. The fingers grow, some of your descendants start to flap their arms around. They have wings now.

how come we got wisdom teeth still why hasnt evolution knocked that out?
>>70337122
But before people eat the apple there was no death. Why would God create something that had no use in his world?
>>70337258
>MY LIFE IS EMPTY
You need an imaginary friend for your life to have some meaning? Pathetic.
Atheists believe in a fairy tale.
Long long ago, far far away a big bang happened for absolutely no reason, and absolutely everything came from nothing.
>>70337388
No but if there's no point in life and nothing after death then life is meaningless. Whatever meaning you give your own life is also meaningless.
>>70337377
Because apparently it's not necessary, especially not now, since no one will die from having wisdom teeth
>>70337377
We are currently in process of losing them. It will just take a lot of time.
>>70337466
>Whatever meaning you give your own life is also meaningless.
In the end yes, but there's nothing else you can do. Just accept the fact and don't be a little cunt about it.
>>70337380
Because God knows everything and he knew they would eat the fruit.
Also Flies may have had a different purpose before the fall of man.
I read the bible, even studied it to a degree. Honestly it's just not that compelling. It certainly isn't as an explanation of the physical world
The gospel is probably the least compelling of the abrahamic texts.

Co-evolution explains most of the "complex as fuck" things, for example:

Genetics are currently entering the simulation age, where we can use computers to fast forward millions of years, so we will understand these things much better in the future.

>>70337377
Having wisdom teeth is not a negative trait in humans. It causes no biological disadvantage that might cause humans with wisdom teeth to produce offspring at a lower rate than humans without wisdom teeth.
With that said, humans are not the best example to use in debates about natural selection, since technological advances and modern medicine have reduced the impact that a lot of defects in humans might have otherwise had in reproduction.
>>70337189
Was a really cool info find. Being a geologist, I always love bits like that that fill in the gaps.
Here's a mantis encased in Columbian amber. Didn't get a date with it, but it's probably "Jurassic sometime." Which would be over 100 million and maybe back near 200 ... I'd hazard a guess between 100 & 120. Just ass-pulling again, of course.
Amber-encased mantis' are exceptionally rare, so I get a bit chubb when I run across them.

The reason most people believe in God isn't because they read the Bible its because they have experienced something that is indescribable, the Bible gives the story of how and who God is and to what reason they may have experienced their connection with God. Ultimately God wants a relationship with everyone however you have to knock first. Just reading the Bible and studying it wont give you answers if your not willing to make a connection with God in the first place. If you really want to seek the truth of this world God will find a way for you to see.

Even with covering your eyes and ears ignoring the different order of events in Genesis 1 and 2, you then end in a predicament where there would be two classes of people, Adam and his descendants and the rest of mankind referred to in Genesis 1 and later implicitly referenced in Genesis 4 when Cain marries and founds a settlement.
Then you again have to reconcile the differing descendent accounts of Adam's sons AND then again substantial differences in God's instructions to Noah immediately after in the two different flood stories.
It takes a lot of willfully ignoring or saying "BUT THAT IS JUST SYMBOLIC" which defeats any initial argument that Genesis is in any way literal.
>>70337441
Let me enlighten you, and all of you christians here as well.
Christianity is just offshoot of pagan/egyptian astrological myths.
But there is GOD.
So lets start with "big bang"
This name is retarded, because there wasnt any beng, there just were universe and it stretched, it was "big stretch"
and as universe can stretch it can do it other way as well.
As alchemy states, and as i call it "law of + and -
There cant be + without - and - without +.
Same with dark and light.
Same with nothing and something.
So yeah there always WAS a universe.
And its infinite, indeed it is.
how ? as you can distance between 1cm and 2cm you can go to the middle (0,5) and you can do this forever go and go and go and go.
1 and 2 will be so far away from each others, and this is hwo universe stretch.
And this is so called OUROBOROS universe repeat itself, it streach and pull in stretch and pull it.
Does it strech to nothing? thats bullshit.
it strech to ITSELF
So universe is ultimate its everlasting and its infinite, does it sound familliar?
UNIVERSE=GOD
and as Alchemy states, "we are brothers of god"
indeed we are.
We are PART of the universe
We are the universe experiencing itself, because EVERYTHING is the universe.
we are the god, ot part of the god, as you like.
>>70329911
Nothing happens by chance you goober. Ateists are stupid as fuck. You don't need to be religious to notice this.
>>70337972
>Life is most likely a wheel of infinity.
That's just wishful thinking, because the alternative is too difficult to accept.
But I understand you. I sometimes also try to convince myself that maybe there's more after death, but that belief never lasts.
I was watching a documentary yesterday called "Science PROVES God exists", so I decided to give it the benefit of doubt and watch it. And it was basically an hour and a half of "See that beautiful flower? That's GAWD. See that lightning? That's GAWD too. See those planets? GAWWWWWWWWWWWWWD"
No actual evidence etc
