I would even go with deformity, yes. Not necessarily a micro evolution.

“I’ve noticed there seems to be a lot more left handed people than there used to be......................”

A ha!

Proof humans are evolving!

I was mocking the claims of Darwinism there.

Exactly!....................

“What I want to know is why folks in the Old Testament lived for hundreds and hundreds of years and today seems that eighty years is the norm.”

Daylight Saving Time? ;)

I had it explained to me that ‘time’ was a different concept back then and that a ‘second’ to God could be eons to we humans...or something along those lines.

All I know is that I certainly do NOT want to have a child when I am 90 years old, with a 99 year old husband, most likely also in diapers, as did Biblical Sarah! :)

Proving MY theory that we all descended from Hobbits! :)

The body gets rid of things that are no longer being used. If they are still in use they are kept.

You make one hell of an argument against celibacy.

What you call Darwinism is simply natural selection. A mutation will be propagated through subsequent generations if it is beneficial.
That’s evolution in a nutshell.

[Salvavida]

It is understood to remain in a species where sexual reproduction may take place, and not evolve or cross into another genus. Wikipedia is wrong.

[bwest]

I disagree—there is a mountain of evidence in support of what you call macro evolution.
And it is entirely consistent with the practice of Christianity.

[reasonisfaith]

Lamentably, we still don’t have any scientific evidence of random mutation, natural selection or speciation yet.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

You make one hell of an argument against celibacy.

There was a study on that a few years ago. Turns out, use it or lose it is pretty much correct.

I prefer chastity myself.

[teeman8r]

excellent point...

i laughed out loud...

thanks for that

how goes the wind in ohio? are we winning?

[ßuddaßudd]

geez, that could help a lot ..

[Greetings_Puny_Humans]

Considering even I still play video games, it is a useful mutation.

[Flying Circus]

In the larger picture, more activities that require dexterous use of fingers (like typing, writing, machine controls) without using much other body motion. I question if this is so much and evolutionary change as a simple environmental adaptation activating a blood vessel that would otherwise atrophy from lack of need.

[jmacusa]

Ah ha.

Some have yet to evolve into modern humans - Al Green and Mad Maxine Waters, both dems
