In fairness I think our friend meant "(atmospheric.) air breathing"Aquatic animals breathe oxygen. What did you think they use for metabolism?
The progeny of a face hugger is still the same specie (Internecivus raptus) but uses the dna of the host to add genetic variation. The best way to view it is the face hugger is a macro spermatozoa that induces the host’s body mass to act a an analogue to the placenta.There's the classic Cambrian rabbit, though that would more throw a wrench into phylogeny and our understanding of the tree of life than Evolution itself.
Perhaps if we found 2 people (or any 2 animals really) with completely different DNA, and I mean COMPLETELY different, but that were "twins." That would be something that would throw Evolution into disarray. (TBF, could be aliens too).
If an offspring of a parent actually came out as a different species (though I guess that could be aliens too. See Xenomorph).
Humans are primates.Primates and humans have never produced offspring. Unless you know of a case, it is an impossibility.
That’s a stupid idea. Who ever told you that happened?Personally, my favorite story from evolutionary theory is the one where that cow who walked out of the sea one day decides to walk back into the sea and become a whale. What a brilliant, visionary move. When you compare how much beef McDonald's sells to how much whale blubber they sell...brilliant move. <slow clap>
A message in our DNA saying when, where and who by the cell was built.Page #2 .. and we haven't seen anything which even remotely looks like facts to disprove the ToE.
That may be the most sensible post your friend ever wroteIt certainly would. But creationism would not be the fallback position. That took a hike years ago.
That is calling for speculation on a religiousThen at which point did the apes become Adam and Eve the first humans in the eyes of God?
Actually...not quite..Lots of fish have swim bladders that can fill with air.
TIL that swim bladders came from lungs and not the other way around- thanks for the knowledgeAir bladders are structures derived from what were at
one time functioning lungs.
Yes, I was rude to cut him off like that, but asserting that they are identical in all respects is a standard set-up for a classic creationist argument that I am not interested in any more. Maybe he'll try it out on you.I've thought about it some and am inclined to
agree with @Chesterton, that it's a distinction
sans difference.
The question is to name one of those facts.
Ah so desu kaI know. That's why I said that lungs were the ancestral state.
If it were shown that the same species of living organisms (animals, plants, fungi, micro-organisms, etc.) appeared as fossils throughout the geological column from the Precambrian to the Holocene, that would disprove evolution. However, that is not what is observed.What sort of facts could disprove it?
Does anyone have any?
Can you say what facts prove that humans (whose fossil remains first appear in Pleistocene rocks) are not descended from apes that lived during the Miocene epoch?His understanding of natural selection was already understood by every uneducated farmer and rancher for a few thousand years. His great "insight" that a monkey could become a man has never been shown to be anything other speculative fiction, not unlike the work of Sigmund Freud and L. Ron Hubbard.
That would do it. But the facts, faked by eitherIf it were shown that the same species of living organisms (animals, plants, fungi, micro-organisms, etc.) appeared as fossils throughout the geological column from the Precambrian to the Holocene, that would disprove evolution. However, that is not what is observed.
Snark is a poor substitute for facts butCan you say what facts prove that humans (whose fossil remains first appear in Pleistocene rocks) are not descended from apes that lived during the Miocene epoch?

Snark is a poor substitute for facts but it serves an unintended purpose, revealing as it does that it's all the denialistas have.
