The 'Macro-Micro' thing....again..

Just the aforementioned barriers: sterility, incompatibility, and extinction.

How are those barriers?

 

[AV1611VET]

How are those barriers?

Are you serious?

 

[PsychoSarah]

Are you serious?

Those barriers you listed don't prevent evolution: they promote it.

What sterile animal was our common ancestor?

What animal that was incompatible with even its own kind was our common ancestor?

What animal went extinct, then served as our common ancestor?

Now those are interesting questions. It seems evolution main weapon is death.
How did man end up with such a big head? Simple he killed all the small-headed people.

It is what it is, whether you or anyone else likes it or not.

I choose life. You can have death.

Its not a choice, evolution just happens.

You are looking at those barriers the wrong way. Populations evolve, so you aren't going to end up with individuals with no one to reproduce with. However, as time goes on they might lose the ability to breed with a population that descended from common ancestors, thus widening the gap between what genes they share in common and promoting those individual populations to branch out on different evolutionary paths.

Animals going extinct, especially ones that aren't in our evolutionary tree, promote the evolution of surviving species, as can be seen in the diversity explosions that often follow extinction events. Dinosaurs dying out was likely critical in humans existing today.

And even individuals incapable of breeding can aid in the survival of individuals that do, which is why ants and bees continue to exist even though the vast majority of individuals never reproduce.

See there AV1611Vet you learn something. Man is killing off animals making them extinct so evolution can exploded. I thought the story went Jesus died so I could live but now according to the "gospel of evolution" it's dinosaurs died so I could live.

Well, that isn't a reason to do it, nor is it the motivation people have to kill of species, but when the niches are freed up, it does give more evolutionary opportunity.

You seem to miss one tiny point, nature could careless if you live or die. In fact nature just assume you dead. The show "1000 ways to die" kind of proves this fact.

I don't think you understood Sarah's point. And it is incorrect to say "could care less" that means "it matters an indefinite amount to". What you should have said is "could not care less". Sorry, that is a pet peeve of mine.

Ya ... thanks to some invisible trail of fossils that lead from cyanobacteria to man, evolutionists can claim we are mutant copy-errors made in the image and likeness of God.

I always thought that man's likeness to God was not a physical one. That is a simplified belief for simple people.

Let's hear it for Malthusian catastrophes!

It's "image and likeness."

Genesis 1:26a And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:

I guess you never heard of this thing called "birth".

 

[Loudmouth]

Are you serious?

Yes.

Show us how a microevolutionary event will cause the next generation to all be sterile.

Does god always refer to himself in the third person? I heard Bo Jackson used to refer to himself in the third person, as in Bo's gonna' lift now, or Bo's gonna' grub now... etc.
