    You do know that the theory of evolution has the exact same status as the theory of gravity does, right?

    You display a flawed understanding of evolution if you think that you can breed monkeys from humans or that humans were descended from chimpanzees or any other modern ape.

    Yeah, gravity still has flaws. Like that we don't actually know what causes it (the current theory is that mass curves space-time). It also doesn't work in every way, as (as far as I know) I'm pretty sure it doesn't apply on the quantum level.

    Then again, the quantum level is a pretty weird place...

    You're being attacked because you come in here and troll. You insult people, refuse to listen to the facts, and spout unsupported dogmatic arguments. Our problem isn't with your Christian beliefs, but with the fact that you won't listen to anyone else and your beliefs in other categories (evolution) are just as unwavering as your belief in Christianity. You can't discuss if you can't listen. Plus, your spelling/grammar makes your statements hard to read, which often puts our rage about you over the top.

    Funny you should say that, since Newtonian gravity is on the verge of being disproved. We have discovered (thanks to pioneer and voyager) that gravity doesn't seem to work the same way at very long distances. So be carefull what you call "proven fact". Science has all sorts of terms to describe ideas of different provability, for instance "theory" is an idea that has withstood all the tests thrown at it so far and hasn't been disproven, but can't be explicitly proven (IIRC, Apos will correct me I'm sure).

    Of course they would. A huge change like things-that-are-definatly-monkeys becoming things-that-aren't-nessesarily-monkeys takes many, many generations and selection pressures that will incline them to become sufficiently non-mokey like. However, it should be noted that visible changes can be seen in very few generations with the right selection pressures, for instance an experement was conducted on a mink farm (I dont like mink farms BTW) where only the most "tame" minks were allowed to breed. In only a few generations, not only did they have really tame minks, but the minks also started to take on color patterns in their coat that didn't occur in "normal" minks. So if you bred monkeys for long enough, with certain selection pressures, then it is likely you'd see a fairly noticable change fairly quickly.

    Avenger, it isn't your religion that you should be ashamed of, its the statements you make (like the last one I quoted in reference to your character) that you should be ashamed of, because they are so contrary to what your religion supposedly preaches.

    if by refuse to listen to the facts you mean "read them , think about them, then chose not to believe them" then I guess so.

    It's foxes actually, but this is an interesting point. They bred wild foxes specifically to tame them so they could harvest their coats easier. What happened was that they greatly changed their appearance. Their coats become less shiny and sleek, their ears became floppy, etc. An analogy that would describe this effect would be dogs:wolves::tame foxes:wild foxes. The change in appearance was that drastic.

    We attacked your points about super long lived people, infertility, and carbon dating, but you didn't respond with anything other than the same dogmatic insistence that macroevolution is wrong that you had before this discussion. I don't think you've made one valid point about evolution that you have successfully tried to defend. Every time we demolish your arguments, you make more of them, we take those down, you say that you just don't believe in macroevolution, but you won't give another reason why. You can't admit that you're wrong about this issue, for some reason.

    Do you have any corroborating evidence supporting your scripture? Records from Romans talking about Jesus resurrecting or from Egyptians talking about the 10 plagues or something like that would be enlightening. The only evidence that I've seen has been created by people who follow the particular religion that their evidence pertains to. The only accounts of Jesus' ressurrection are in Judeo-Christian books.

    Frankly, I don't think that 2000 year old religious texts are good to use as supporting evidence in justifying your disbelief in evolution.

    well all those heads are human heads... so how does that prove we came from amebas? I wanna see a fish... then a fish with legs... then a fish walking on two legs... then a fish losing its tell walking on two legs... then I wanna see my grandpa.... that would prove it to me pretty well

    yes of course theres small varitions like head size and bone strucure. that shows that micro evolution is true... but what about marco evolution? I'm still not diggin it

    Its entirely off topic! Seriously, that line of argument will have absolutely nothing to do with abiogenesis, evolution, common ancestry, or anything that this thread was designed to deal with, so it needs to be in annother thread!

    if the bible is historically accurate... then the bible is true... then that means adam was made from dust and Eve came from his rib (even tho both those are symbols) and that would prove evolution is false... how can you say it doesn't pertain to this?

    No, you're mistaken. Even if you can prove that parts of it are true, only those parts will be true, it won't automatically make the origin story true. If you want to try and prove the truth of the origin story independant of the rest of scripture, then you're welcome to it (you will be unsuccessfull, I mean, if it were that easy to prove then it would have been done already).

    well all those heads are human heads... so how does that prove we came from amebas? I wanna see a fish... then a fish with legs... then a fish walking on two legs... then a fish losing its tell walking on two legs... then I wanna see my grandpa.... that would prove it to me pretty well

    yes of course theres small varitions like head size and bone strucure. that shows that micro evolution is true... but what about marco evolution? I'm still not diggin it <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd-->
    This <b>is</b> macroevolution. This is evolution from one species to another. You want to see a fish with legs? Look at a salamander. You want to see a fish, then a fish with legs, then a fish losing its tail and walking on legs? Look at a tadpole turning into a frog. I'm sure you've got a picture of your grandpa somewhere around that you can look at if you want.

    Look at this:

    This is an image of the fetuses of many different vertebrates. Notice how alike they are? This is an example of evolution. These shared characteristics are so specific that it is highly improbably that they could have come from anything other than shared ancestry.

    ok then same goes for evolution... Mircro evolution is true. but common ancestry is still up in the air as far as I'm concerened.

    and if god is true then thats all that really matters then isn't it

    We attacked your points about super long lived people, infertility, and carbon dating, but you didn't respond with anything other than the same dogmatic insistence that macroevolution is wrong that you had before this discussion. I don't think you've made one valid point about evolution that you have successfully tried to defend. Every time we demolish your arguments, you make more of them, we take those down, you say that you just don't believe in macroevolution, but you won't give another reason why. You can't admit that you're wrong about this issue, for some reason. <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
    Because you refuses to listen to Doctorines and Truths in the scriptures. <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
    Do you have any corroborating evidence supporting your scripture? Records from Romans talking about Jesus resurrecting or from Egyptians talking about the 10 plagues or something like that would be enlightening. The only evidence that I've seen has been created by people who follow the particular religion that their evidence pertains to. The only accounts of Jesus' ressurrection are in Judeo-Christian books.

    here's something <a href='http://www.beyondthisplanet.org/bible/No_mistakes/accurate_history_intro.htm' target='_blank'>Here</a>
    Frankly, I don't think that 2000 year old religious texts are good to use as supporting evidence in justifying your disbelief in evolution. <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
    there's historical evidence that supports the bible. lemme find some real quick, I gotat pull my resources <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd-->
    When you find these sources, AvengerX, make a new thread. We can debate historical corroboration for religious books in another thread, so we can return to evolution here.

    I think the reason they all look kinda the same is because when god was making all the animals.. he stuck with structure designs that were pretty good. I mean why bother making animals that are gonna die right off the bat. (thats why a lot of animals have similiar strucutures is because it works)

    You don't need god for that at all. The animals that evolved poorly died. The ones that evolved well didn't, and contiued to breed. Thats natural selection, not divine intervention.

    Only threw perseverance did the snail reach the ark my friend. And right you are the strong survive. So strong monkeys grow up and have baby MONKEYS

    how come if there's millions of fossils that show missing links there's no living animals that show missing links? I mean why isn't their any monkey/human hybrids running around anymore?
