    What is your best evidence for Evolution?

    ERVs rank up there for me. That's some pretty compelling evidence, and also just what was predicted to be found by evolutionary theory.

    Museums starting to tell creationists to jam it

    Just what's a 'kind', and where do the boundaries lie between one 'kind' and another?

    OJ innocent or guilty?

    The fact that all the evidence fits together so well to create an overall picture of evolution suggests either: 1) A staggeringly well organized secret conspiracy or 2) That the evidence we have (and the conclusions drawn from such) are valid Besides, scientists love to show other scientists as...

    Make me an evolutionist

    Tell me something, where's the line between variation and speciation? What makes it possible for mutation to cause variation within a population, but prevents the exact same effector from causing different populations to speciate from one another?

    Make me an evolutionist

    I can't have been the only one who saw this and immediately pictured a laboratory, complete with Jacob's ladders and foaming beakers, in which the OP was strapped to a surgical chair. A mad, cackling evolutionist jolts electricity, strange chemicals, and arcane surgical techniques before...

    Who here was a former Creationist?

    *raises his hand* Count me in. I was a 6-day creation, 6,000 year old earth believer. Was, being the operative word. Fortunately, a university education cleared me of several misconceptions.

    Chimp to Man Ethics

    Do you have a source for that? (I'm not just being pedantic here; I'd really like to know.)

    Chimp to Man Ethics

    Considering that the mind is just made up of neural cells, the structure and positioning of which is determined by the genetic code, why wouldn't our 'humanzee' be as human-like mentally as any other person?

    Is this were Evolution happens?

    The basic idea of evolution hasn't changed a huge amount over the years - at least not at a fundamental level. It's still all about allele frequency change over time. If your library has them, I'd reccomend a first year biology textbook; doesn't have to be a reccent one (though I'd be wary...

    Is this were Evolution happens?

    Welcome to the board. There's a lot of interesting conversation goes on here, and most of us are happy to explain things, or provide resources where you can find out information for yourself. I'm more of a lurker myself, chipping in whenever I can, but if you do need any help, feel free to send...

    Chimp to Man Ethics

    DNA is DNA. More or less, it doesn't really care what organism you put it into, it still does the same thing. We've already got lots of evidence to this effect, so your experiment is one that probably won't end up happenning. (Ethical issues aside.)

    Chimp to Man Ethics

    So, let me see if I understand this. You want to know if we can alter chimp DNA to match that of human DNA. I'm sure its theoretically possible. But it's far too much time and effort for anyone to actually do - what were you hoping to achieve?

    7 Question: If evolution is truth, then........

    He's like a more polite Hovind. For some reason, I find this even more unsettling.

    7 Question: If evolution is truth, then........

    I was always partial to the 'idiot tax' solution myself. If someone said something stupid, instant $250 fine. And we can put the revenue towards a better education system; so it becomes a self-correcting problem.
