Re: Dolphins and Evolution!

Well in this case evolution has been proven has it not?

This is pretty basic stuff here Snow-Helper. All scientific "theories" start out as testable hypothesis - like "government run schools are the best way to teach science". We can then try to "prove" that hypothesis by running some well formulated tests and if the results come back positive we can then call it a "theory" and act on it. If the results come back negative then maybe the government should not be running the schools. In many cases all it takes is one counter example to question the "theory". I would posit that in this case you could be the counter example of why the government should not run the schools.

Darwin's "theory" of evolution posited that random chance mutation caused changes, and the principle of survival of the fittest would naturally select those changes that were most effective and they would be passed on to the next generation. Darwin then looked around and saw all these fossils and bone lying around and speculated that it took millions of years for these small mutations to accumulate to account for all the variety of life on earth.

The salmon counterexample I cited is only one of many that have been observed, check out the moths in London for another.

Darwin "evolution" has some other problems as well. If you had any critical thinking skills you might wonder how the giraffe came to be. Sure, one "old" style giraffe might have had a slightly longer neck than the rest of them - maybe by chance a couple of inches. Now either the females (or males) might have found it more "attractive" and copulated more often thus passing on the genes, or it just might have been more useful to obtain food. But consider that today's giraffe (if we're considering Darwin here) has a huge heart in order to pump the blood up to its brain. The question is, how did the heart get bigger at the same time that the neck got longer? Darwin's "chance" mutation can't explain that.

So what is it when the salmons change into a different species?
What's that called?

Re: Dolphins and Evolution!

No, wrong again. Evolution is a ridiculous theory which is as easily proven wrong as it is proven right. The same scientists who promote it as some magic that that takes eons also promote it as alchemy that takes a few weeks. I believe Brother Bryan showed you the absurdity of believing in foolish theoretical nonsense that can be twisted to mean anything that is desired by the twister.

Re: Dolphins and Evolution!

The theory of evolution claims it takes billions of years and millions of generations.

So expecting it to take 1 day and 0.1 generations is false.


Regardless if the theory of evolution is wrong, you didn't prove anything here other then the fact you're cruel, twisted, and pathetic.

Where have you been Yelper - curled up in your "safe spaces" instead of getting an education, or is it that now you have a computer and keyboard you now expect someone to pay you $15 an hour?

High-speed evolution: Study shows salmon can change their genes in a single generation
By Daily Mail Reporter
Updated: 15:16 EDT, 19 December 2011

Salmon born in hatcheries can evolve in just a single generation, according to new research.

The change in their genetic make-up is so dramatic that it sometimes makes them unable to breed with wild fish.

And the amazing discovery shows that 'evolutionary change doesn't always take thousands of years,' according to the main author of the study.

These findings, published this week in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, suggest the impact of hatcheries on salmon is so profound that in just one generation traits are selected that allow fish to survive and prosper in the hatchery environment.

They also confirm that being bred in a hatchery changes fishes' genetics, not just environmental factors.

'We've known for some time that hatchery-born fish are less successful at survival and reproduction in the wild,' said Michael Blouin, a professor of zoology at Oregon State University.

So if everything is made from genetic mutations than why aren't there animals with purple fur and three heads running about?
Checkmate, athiests.

Right? If evolution were true, mothers would have three arms, I always say!

Re: Dolphins and Evolution!

Idiots eveloution is a process that takes millions of years and over generations through genetic mutations that are favorable in that environment.

Great, you want God's Earth to be populated by mutants. Isn't it bad enough we have the darkies?

You guys were trying to disprove it. But you can't disprove it nor can you prove it. Exactly why it's theory. Hence the THEORY of eveloution.

Friend, a 'theory' is a guess unsubstantiated by proof. A wild assumption, often used to explain something and done by lesser minds. Do you really think an intelligent person would walk around spouting off with great conviction fabrications and made up stories? That would be utterly insane!

Well, science isn't really into proving things, as science does not seek some sort of absolute truth. A theory in science is something that has been strongly supported by evidence. Evolution is the theory which explains the best the current body of biological and geological evidence of present and past fauna and flora.

The thing is, that scientific evidence does not bother the members of this lovely congregation. You can throw buckets of data at them, and they won't budge. That's because they operate within a religious paradigm, not a scientific/empirical paradigm.

Professor Elmer White has explained very eloquently the Landover Baptist way of thinking about scientific evidence.

In a way, this congregation has a very progressive, post-modernist view of science, rejecting the optimism of scientific positivism!

Evolution made the assertion. It's up to evolution to substantiate it's wacky claims.

That's how real science works:not some ad hoc controversial claims about monkeys.

Your condition is not hopeless. Try a tablespoon of baking soda mixed with water. That will neutralize the acid, which will escape with a large belch.
