When did evolution begin?

[Loudmouth]

Who was the shared primate ancestor? Teach me.

All primates.

OK, so did we evolve from primates?

No.

Luke traces our ancestry back to Adam, who was created by God.

What do you mean by "evolve"?

What do you mean by "evolve"?

Was making a point about how we can look at evolution. I believe we can adapt but not evolve in the sense that is being argued. I though I was responding to loudmouth.

Why do you believe that?

True, but typically after the flood the nations start from the line of Noah...in fact every tribe, tongue and nation go back to Noah...and yes...Adam and Eve...Noah being the only unspoiled blood line from Adam and Eve.

Your words. Why do you believe that?

How can all primates be the ancestor of all primates? What was the first?

That we can adapt? If it gets cold out I go and get a coat. If it is raining I cover my head...I adapt. I certainly don't grow hair like a wolf because it is cold outside or grow gills because I like to swim a lot.

The adaptation we are talking about takes place over several generations, not in a single generation.

So why don't you believe that life can evolve?

I certainly don't grow hair like a wolf because it is cold outside or grow gills because I like to swim a lot.

Would you agree that mutations can change the amount of hair that someone has compared to their ancestors?

How can the Smith family have both grandchildren and grandparents?

Mutations we see have nothing to do with "evolution", nice primate pics by the way,...unless you consider a person with two extra deformed arms sticking out of their chest as evolution.

Of course mutations have something to do with evolution. Do you even know what mutations are?

 

[Loudmouth]

We are primates. We evolved from earlier primates, if that is what you are asking.

This generation of Chihuahuas evolved from Chihuahuas. Ancestral Chihuahuas evolved from earlier dogs, and Chihuahuas are still dogs. Same thing for humans and primates.

Why not?

Huh?

Yes...DNA abnormalities

 

[Loudmouth]

Most of those are due to splits in the early embryo, not mutations in the genome. Also, it doesn't have anything to do with what we are discussing since a four legged primate is not needed during the evolution of humans from a common ancestor shared with other primates.

Do you agree or disagree that mutations can cause a change in physical appearances?

 

[Loudmouth]

Yes...DNA abnormalities

Everyone is born with as many as 50 mutations.

"Here we present, to our knowledge, the first direct comparative analysis of male and female germline mutation rates from the complete genome sequences of two parent-offspring trios. Through extensive validation, we identified 49 and 35 germline de novo mutations (DNMs) in two trio offspring, as well as 1,586 non-germline DNMs arising either somatically or in the cell lines from which the DNA was derived."

They were able to show this by sequencing the genomes of parents and their children. They found changes in the DNA of children that were not found in the parents. This is true of every single person in every single generation.
