• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

mutation reference?

oh that's right, there isn't one.

You need to change the word "evolved" into "changed" in your above sentence, as there is no evolution without a dna sequence change causing the said trait.
Huh? Evolution = change. What are you talking about?

This evolution -- you know, evolution by natural selection that Darwin wrote about? You should study up on it sometime...just for a laugh if nothing else.

http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/faq-intro-to-biology.html

The process of evolution can be summarized in three sentences: Genes mutate. [gene: a hereditary unit] Individuals are selected. Populations evolve.


ToE does not define evolution as simply "change." If that were the case, if I stepped outside in the sun and got a tan then I would be evolving. You've got lots of reading to do. The lizards in question did not mutate, (their dna did not change) therefore there was no "evolution," as defined by Talk Origins -- instead, they just changed.

Right, it's not simply change. It's heritable change in populations through time. And this is. There ya go.

I think the most likely explanation for the car's existence is a whole bunch of relatively intelligent, but ultimately flawed, selfish and altogether mortal designers put some time and effort into creating a car.

Clearly, the universe is much bigger, so we need correspondingly more designers. Clearly, noone really knew what they wanted either, so they were probably also less intelligent.

At this point, you're deliberately misunderstanding what you're being told.
