Side effect from eating a fruit. Provide some objective evidence for that fruit and I'll hold you in high opinion.

Provide me with objective evidence that people were not wearing clothes before 6000 years ago, and I too will hold you in high opinion.
I don't hold with the literal Genesis account,BTW..

lets assume a planet is found and has life on it. it has bacteria, plant-like and protist-like organisms. it doesn't have animal-like organisms. that doesn't disprove evolution assuming transition is evident. evolution isn't a set path. its a divergent path. many possibilities. the occurrence of animal-like organisms isn't a definite.

Then it should have something else. And that thing will be animal-like.

What functions are you talking about? Life forms based on media other than carbon would not have the same bodily functions..What would silica eat?Without eating, why would it eliminate bodily waste? It would not need to eat..what would it eat in the first place?

I don't know. But I know it will EAT. And it will also [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]. That are functions.

The evidence is that we WANT to put something over our bodies. It is such a strong scientific evidence to the once existed forbidden fruit.

I'm sorry, that isn't strong evidence. It's evidence that doesn't contradict your hypothesis at best.
There are also people who don't want to put clothes on their bodies.

What do you think a mineral will eat?..Silica is an electrical conductor..getting it's energy not from eating,but absorbing electric power.It would not do what the filters caught you trying to say.

I know quite a few folks who would like nothing more than to run around naked..
A WANT is NOT a "scientific evidence".
Your answer is not tangible evidence.

Because evolution will make that happen.

Not necessarily. If a planet like Mars can only support extremophile bacteria you aren't going to get any animals or other complex multicellular life. We don't have animals in the extreme conditions those bacteria survive in, so does that prove evolution wrong?

Some other planets will. And if so, evolution is still wrong.

So, why don't they open their society to everyone? I don't mind to buy a ticket to see them (like a zoo? Ha ha ha ...).

The fact of wanting IS a scientific evidence.

And just like that you've made one of the most offensive posts I've seen yet. Congratulations.

You said it. Offensive. Why is it offensive? Of course you know. Because they are naked. If they wear clothes, then there will be no offense at all. That is why human is different from animal.

I would spend more money for a ticket to see a bunch of animals that "want" to wear clothes every day.

I need proof of that little gem!

Evidence is not a proof. So, no proof.

If you found a group of lab animals "want" something, is that an evidence of some hidden facts to be discovered?

And just like that, Juvenissun makes an even more offensive post. Incredible.
