tinytiger 840 Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 id agree 90% with darwinds theory-was going to put up the finch link myself..theres massive gaps in it i.m.o-no fossils of intermediate forms are found..and nature seems to have basic plans that it adheres to e.g the sipmilarity of the extinct australian wolf(thylacine) to placental canids...if it was just completely blind and directionless theres no way that could happen It isn't completely blind, it runs via very very minor advantages, that is each generation shows a 0.0001% better survival for a certain trait, over a million years that adds up to a new species, or two different species( because the difference is not strong enough for the other to fail). The thylacine is an example of divergent eveolution, like the hedgehog and the Madagascan Tenrecs. but what advantage would say,some creature halfway between a wallaby and a thylacine have(granted australia is a niche rich environment and isolated)..personally id say hormones could play a big part--maybe some cataclysmic event forced some ancestral population into dietary change which led to it Link to post Share on other sites

Tracing back, there was a point where one became a herbivore and the other carnivore. by chance the carnivore took a quadruped form similar to a wolf. The other took the energy conservative mode of hopping in a land where vegetation and food can be far apart. There are not physical fossil links on record because a: we haven't found it yet and b: the chance encounters that lead to it being fossilised are so slim. Shoot a rabbit, sling it in the hedge, what are the chances of that rabbit being there in a few week yet alone a few thousand or a few million years? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
The Seeker 3,048 Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Not one that would satisfy you. Plenty that satisfy biologists though... not all of them-its only a theory..no im not a creationist..id say modern livestock and crops are a good example of evolution(but they are still cows or spuds or pigs)..theres no proof of one species evolving into something differnt. But there is, there is masses of it. You just don't want to see it. You can cross and Aylesbury with a mallard, a dog with a wolf, you can't cross a fox with a dog. It takes a long time of divergence and a chance successful genetic change to make it so species cannot interbreed. "You can cross and Aylesbury with a mallard" But it remains a duck "dog with a wolf, you can't cross a fox with a dog" But it remains a canine No offence but this is what I mean by not understanding and reading the subject. Darwin spoke of a change of SPECIES not a development of a breed. Anyway I will leave you guys to it Link to post Share on other sites

For what ever reason it was more advantages to be a quad carnivore and biped herbivore, again by 0.000000.....00001% that over the years left behind what you mention.

Darwin spoke of a change of SPECIES not a development of a breed. Anyway I will leave you guys to it That is what I am getting at, we have affected breeds, we haven't taken them far enough yet to make a species, but they are a classic example of a breed. Darwin uses them to show how we can genetically change an animal so massively you woudn't recognise it, but still they are the same. It takes something a lot longer to make it a species, something that because it is longer than a human generation many people can't comprehend. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

frazdog 252 Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 ok lads evoloution,what does it mean its a crafty one they sneek it in with truth, darwin watched finches,all diff species,what were they a BIRD,plain an simple, when your talking evoloution you need to define what you mean so your on same page, darwinan evo means a dog changing to a cat,no if or buts,gradually over millions of years,that what evoloutionists think how we got here, it rained on rocks for millions of years,then soup came outa rocks then the soup evo to a tadpole then fish then reptile then amphibian then who knows to monkeys to now,thats what were talking here a change of kind into something else,which has never been seen past present or future, not diff species of birds,like darwin sid,if no intermediate fossils are found then gis theory is up shit creek an they havent. ok could someone give me an example of origin evo gow man got here,WITHOUT USING FAITH?

Tozer 385 Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 They can but it takes a lot of reading, the pope himself acknowledged this, I have said it in all my posts, evolution does not remove religion. show's a path. Religion is there to guide people to do right, the ten commandments. don't cheat, steal, murder or generally be a d*ck, the only point you are focussing on is the 'made in his own image'. Your problem is thinking you are more important than the chimp, dog, cat or amoeba. We are all the same. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
Truther 1,579 Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Quick question Fraz, brief answer will do mate. Did god flood the earth and kill every human apart from Noah and his family? And if so did they produce all the people alive today, no matter what race? Link to post Share on other sites
