>>Evolution does not created superior species. For example, the Android phone evolved from the iphone, but the iphone is clearly superior... (just thought I would create more controversy on this thread... :) )<<
That’s a two-fer! I like it! :)
I won’t go to the trouble of posting a Dodo bird here, but it lived, spawned it’s own babies, and went extinct, and all is provable. There are literally millions of extinct species. That doesn’t prove they changed to something else. It just proves they existed and they died. The best cockroaches lived, the best alligators lived, ect. The weak or unlucky ones died. The fossil record is full of examples of one species living and dying, without any evolution.
Every fossil only represents one specie; evolution effects populations, not individuals. The dodo is now known to be a specie of pigeons, evolving from the ancestor that all other pigeons, living and extinct, share.
Yes - it’s a global conspiracy of 97% of the world’s scientists.
The dynamics of evolutionary stasis
Abstract.—The fossil record displays remarkable stasis in many species over long time periods, yet studies of extant populations often reveal rapid phenotypic evolution and genetic differentiation among populations. Recent advances in our understanding of the fossil record and in population genetics and evolutionary ecology point to the complex geographic structure of species being fun- damental to resolution of how taxa can commonly exhibit both short-term evolutionary dynamics and long-term stasis.
yeah. like 97% of scientists who believe passionately in anthropogenic Global Warming. It’s like the undisprovable Evolution. If they don’t believe they are not scientists. The very definition of the word “scientist” is “believes in Global Warming and in Evolution.
They don't resemble pigeons, act like pigeons, heck, they couldn't even fly. They are closer to an emu than a pigeon. It's no different than someone trying to convince me cows came from whales.
