If you still believe that evolution is a pile of dung after reading Bolteh’s awesome explanation, watch this video. It’ll clear a lot of things up.
Also, Bolteh, I hope you don’t mind if I use that example for explaining evolution some people, as I couldn’t really think of a good one.
Evolution doesn’t choose anything. It simply allows for mutations that are beneficial for the organism and disallows mutations that are detrimental to the organism. Fur would help, but it’s not a requirement. People that live in the tundra have more stocky than their brethren in warmer climes.
Also, evolution in humans takes DAMNED long because of our lifespan. There hasn’t been enough time from the first humans to now to have an observable change in our biology. Inuit people are virtually identical, biologically, to Kenyans, for instance, but they do look different to the naked eye.
Is that enough evidence for you?
If not, then I really don’t know WHAT you would consider evidence.
Rationalizing against science is so easy, that’s why this discussion will never end. :meh:
Yeah… but if you look at it this way… it kind of…
Hahaha.
You are probably right.
I’m just not sure how you can rationalize against facts. How do you rationalize against gravity or heat conductivity? O_o
True enough - I suppose if those things are not a threat to your core bias, they are not an issue?
ITT people not learning a theory and pointing out non-existent flaws.
Brother Baconeggs, forgive my ignorance, but does ITT Mean?
In This Thread: someone who doesn’t know what ITT means.
In tis thred
By the way, I find it pointless to argue with creationists. People who believe in creationism are either A) Too stupid to even understand the full concept/theory of evolution or B) On denial and ignoring scientific evidence in favor of some bearded imaginary deity.

Three :ninja :s , god dammit.
Thank you all. Got it.
There are plenty of people on this planet who can rationalize any scientific theory or piece of evidence presented to them on the spot.
If you’re interested there are several lectures from professional psychologist as to why people have need the need for religion and why they will do anything to protect their beliefs.
Like I said before, science uses facts to create theories, religion uses theories to create facts.
They might be able to rationalize away the explanations (theories) but what about the observable facts? How do you rationalize THOSE away?
By saying that it was God’s intention all along (evolution, that is).
Psychology really isn’t my field of expertise, infact I’m poorly educated. I suggest you look up some lectures on YouTube (there are several uploaded in HD, try to search for them using keywords).

Here’s one of my favorites: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iMmvu9eMrg
religion can never be destroyed.
Sadly…
Wow man, that was from like, page 1.
