The evidence for evolution., Since it comes up... over and over...

[Hydra009]

It should be noted that the 'ape skulls' picture in question does not show any kind of proposed precise ancestry. There is no taxonomy in which P. troglodytes is an ancestor of H. sapiens.

What the photo is best used for is demonstrating the difficulty of drawing a defensible distinction between Homo and related genera. Without the labels, only a seasoned expert would be able to place each skull in the correct genus, let alone identify each one precisely.

We should not therefore say that the skulls are transitionals per se, but they are definite morphological intermediates.

Followed by:

anyone else want to claim we descended from chimps???

I don't think the whole point of the hominid skull lineup ever really hit home. The point is that for a species that is as incredibly distinct from other apes as creationists claim, the fossils are remarkably, suspiciously, similar. It shows that the oft-repeated creationist claim of some colossal and impassible biological gulf between humans and other apes is merely wishful thinking.

Oops! looks like my statement about no fossils leading to homo erectus is correct.

please note the question marks after australopithecus! (apes)

Seriously? Most of the evolutionary lineages are mapped out with with a high degree of certainty, leaving only a couple links disputed and to you, that's evidence that homo erectus had no parent species and therefore that homo erectus was supposedly created out of thin air by a deity? Those are some major logical leaps. Can you support them in any way?

see, i said this was a pointless conversation

Yeah, you called it.

Well...it looks like I ran dreadedatheist off. Too bad I had to invalidate all his silly posts -- and his credibility as an authority on human evolution -- with one short and sweet post.

Anyone else?

I had to go to school. We can't all insult people, and deny facts all day.

I especially like how westernjoe has started patting himself on the back for achievements that he hasn't made.

By the way, while we're at it I just cured cancer about half an hour ago. In a few minutes I'm planning on visiting Jupiter and being home in time to serve as grandmaster of tonight's Iron Chef competition.

Well if the universe is 6000 light years across, then I think you can pull it off.

Dude .. I have to use dude on you but..

If you study the roots of Science it is based in God..evidence?are you meaining the christian god? was there no science prior to god then?
Current Society has completely removed God from School's and science.
yay!!!
The original people who studied plant's and made this theory were doing it for God to learn more about God's creation not to question his Authority ..
evidence? and as stated above which god?

You say you don't question his authority , but his creation is in his authority... and you question all of it.
sigh...

The real question here is if God has removed bad kings of Israel many of times and destroyed idols and gave judgment to the State of Israel (in the old testament of course)

Then why would he not care about someone saying what he created wasn't his but out of a random mass of Amoeba ?
so it sounds like your talking of the christian god.
You should provide evidence now....

that is all Evolution truly is .. its a way for Man to try and Take God out of the equation totally..
nope.. as many christians have stated you can believe in a god and evo.
What evo is is an explantion how things change and how we came to be as well as everything else. it has as much to do with god as the theory of gravity.

Its a way for man to try and say we don't have a God that we serve we just were derived from a gigantic explosion..
nope the gigantic explosion you are badly refering to is the bigbang and has zip to do with evo.


Evolution is false its that simple..
wrong its a pretty much proven scientific theory based on scientific evidence.

the main reason is because it doesn't compare to the Creator at all.. you put a man made theory against God in the end and then you see which lasts longer?..
well gods have died time and time again based on mythos. regaurdless this is a bad argument.

After all it says that we will be around for ever.. Were will you be?..
evo says no such thing.

Signed,
Just me.

sigh...

if you want to go down that road.. How long has Evolution been around what 200 years..

The bible was written way before 2000 years ago.. That is just the new testament..

And which had more scientific evidence? Thats right evo lots bible zip..

I am referring of course to the writing that are considered the old Testament and the Torah which isn't all in the old testament or it which I asked a question on that before and got a response ..

By the way I would die at the stake or be shot or go threw a long agonizing death before give up my God.
good for you, now be sure not to kill others or subjugate others in gods name and you will be allright.

Evolution will never be a religion to me like it is to you .
Evo is not a religion, it is a scientific theory. no faith necessary.

Who cares how it was done we already know it was done.
apparently you dont but others do. not to mention that with understanding you can gain control. with understanding of how viruses evolve we can develope cures. with understanding of electricty we can create power and use it. just to list a couple reasons. out of curiosity do you use medicine? it sounds to me like you should stop and just let god heal you.

. get my point o wait you don't your a thinker and questioner just like me except you are primal in your Thinking and Questioning ways.
care to care to clarify what you meanby primal?

I'll tell you how...

I have come to the point in my thinking and questioning to were I see how awesome God really is .. No I don't totally comprehend his glory but I understand a small part of it ... If you haven't tried to experience his light before the you can't speak any more of the subject.
now you are assuming that we have never been down that path. a good number have and guess what ....

But for me on the other hand.. I have studied evolution and tried its ways but I couldn't bare going a day with out God..
so now you are saying you dont want to think that there is no god. sounds like you need a teddy bear..

He is what allows me to breathe and with out him I have no breathe.
I thought that was your lungs and air. silly me..
at least for now... and at least for ever..

Signed Just me.

sorry if im being a little harsh. but im tired and hungry.
