Is there evidence of recent evolution?

[OldWiseGuy]

What evolutionary changes are evident in the age of modern man?

 

[AirPo]

Super bugs, i.e. antibiotic resistant bacteria.

Doesn't evolution take millions of years?

Doesn't evolution take millions of years?

No. Evolution is a continually occurring process.

No. Evolution is a continually occurring process.

Is there evidence of recent human evolution?

 

[AirPo]

Is there evidence of recent human evolution?

There was a story last week about an Indonesian group that are able to stay under water for a relatively extreme long time. They seems to have larger than average spleens.

Are your children copies of you? No? Then there you are.

 

[Saucy]

There's no proof of it.

 

[AirPo]

That's not what the OP asked for.

Hey - so cool how you ask this, then dismiss any possible answers with 'I thought it takes millions of years'! Cute!

In the meantime, you have left your unsupported claims dangling:


"How else would an unconscious instant visceral vocalization signal reach the vocal chords if the laryngeal nerve didn't pass near the heart?"


" If the larynx needs a signal from the aortic arch that loop is a great way to facilitate the 'my heart was in my throat' response."


"I'm saying that I believe that reflexive motor responses that originate in the viscera can be expressed by the larynx via the RLN."

" This is a visceral reaction (the 'mind' of the body) influencing the function of the throat and voice box without the direction of the brain."


"How do you think unconscious vocal signals get to the brain so fast when a person, or a giraffe, is suddenly surprised or frightened? Or that the throat tightens and the voice becomes weak under certain stressful situations. This is a visceral reaction (the 'mind' of the body) influencing the function of the throat and voice box without the direction of the brain. The signal gets there via the RLN in the case of the giraffe."

Isn't that just a design feature that allows individuality?

 

[Speedwell]

Isn't that just a design feature that allows individuality?

No, it is the expression of random reproductive variation which is the basis of evolution.

 

[VirOptimus]

Isn't that just a design feature that allows individuality?

No.

And there is no evidence of design btw.

 

[OldWiseGuy]

No.

And there is no evidence of design btw.

Of course there is design, but science can't make the leap from design to designer, therefore there is no 'design'. I understand that.

Support that there is design with evidence and data.

 

[Speedwell]

Of course there is design, but science can't make the leap from design to designer, therefore there is no 'design'. I understand that.

Science cannot, will not, make the leap from "design" as functional arrangement of components to "design" as intention. But likewise it cannot, will not, deny the presence of "design" as intention.

Look at your computer. There is your evidence. Mankind has clearly "evolved"

 

[mozo41]

de-evolution in the bigger picture

Yeah, a computer that was clearly designed, but the human body wasn't when it's vastly more complex? Complexity speaks of design more than it just 'happened'.
