You believe that bacteria spread because they evolve resistance to antibiotics and become more fit to survive?
The evolution arguement is such that time explains everything. Yes a man and a maple tree are 2 completely types of organisms, why is this? Because 2 billion years passed by! Isn't it obvious when you notice you are not sprouting leaves and the tree is! Billions and billions I tell you , man!
But they're no longer *WOLVES*.
Is that clue phone ringing yet?
What nonsense. By this "logic", anyone who observed a modern hunter would conclude that humans have always had guns -- it would be ridiculous to imaging generation after starveling generation waiting for them to be invented.
If this change goes on for long enough, you get an animal significatly different than its ancestor.
Developing tolerance is a far cry from speciating. I love that word. Would one who speciates be known as a speciator?
Let me ask you, and I'm serious about this question because I don't know.
Did God simply snap his fingers to create a physical earth, or did he make it in layers?
And did He simply think an adult Adam into existance? Or did he create Adam as an infant, and then nurture him into adulthood by teaching him how to hunt and survive?
What about Eve?
Did God instruct her on how to procreate?
Did He help Eve physically deliver Cane and Abel, and even cut the umbilicle cord, since there were no doctors around to help?
And where did Cane and Abel find wives to marry?
How was it that a city East of Eden was already formed when Adam and Eve were the only ones God created?
I'm serious about some of these questions, and when I read these comments on FR claiming some inside knowledge as to how this amazing universe came into being, my curiosity is peaked and I want to know more.
No, it isn't, but thank you so much for repeating that creationist canard.
Yes a man and a maple tree are 2 completely types of organisms, why is this?
Why are they "2 completely types"? Could we have that in English?
Because 2 billion years passed by!
No, because of the action of evolutionary processes. Time alone doesn't do a lot.
Isn't it obvious when you notice you are not sprouting leaves and the tree is! Billions and billions I tell you , man!
The astute reader will note what goofy "arguments" the anti-evolutionists make, and how they fail to even attempt to address the mountains of scientific evidence on the subject...
Here, Hank, have a cookie. Now run and play with your friends.
I get ya! And the animals that were being hunted developed defenses to protect them from the technological advancements of the hunter.
We'll just call you Mr. Specious.
They are all canines and can still mate. Wolves for all practical purposes are just a wild dog.
I'll say it again, wolves and dogs are the same species, they have exactly the same DNA structure.
I don't see any conflict between science and religion. The Lord created the heavens and the earth and life. But the law as written down by Moses doesn't go into great detail in explaining the mechanisms. The Creator gave us a brain, I believe with the intention that we use it.
Technically speaking, neither. See my post #37, starting at the sentence, "Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes"...
Chromosomes tend to undergo fission and fusion, but the genetic material doesn't magically "appear" or get "lost", it just gets repackaged.
A wise man once said, "never argue with a fool, bet him money". How much money would you like to wager on your claim?
OK, there's one person who believes that if nobody reports seeing it, then it didn't happen.
For Johnny Cochran & Co, finding you would be "one down, eleven to go".
Two animals with exactly the same DNA structure are identical twins.
They are all canines and can still mate.
So can lions and tigers -- are you going to claim that they're the same species? Warning, this is a trick question for anyone who doesn't know a lot about the relevant biology. Yes, that would be you.
Wolves for all practical purposes are just a wild dog.
What exactly are these "practical purposes" of which you speak?
And no, wolves are not "just wild dogs". Nor are dogs "just tamed wolves".
