" believe the scientific theory of evolution explains how human beings came to have their current form. I'm not going to explain the entire theory to you, but the very short version states that natural selection forces a change in the frequency of alleles within a population from one generation to the next. These changes give rise to all the biological diversity we see around us, including human beings. "
Perhaps you can't explain the theory . Your statement is a simple illusion. I call it inventive natural selection. It's certainly not science: it makes no predictions and is untestable. So, let's play and not shift back and forth between naive and inventive natural selection. If you can demonstrate that Natural selection makes predictions..please share. It does not predict that adaptations are inevitable, nor even possible.
You've drank the lemonade and are content with a lie.
If you are going to confuse population genetics with natural selection. I must tell you that they are distinctly separate bodies of theory. Survival of the fittest is intended as a general theory of survival. It claims to predict the magnitude of differential survival based on biological design. Population genetics does not claim to make that prediction. Population genetics does not tell which alleles will survive until you first tell population genetics about the differential survival of the allele pairs.
Just for your information....
Actually, it has had stupendous success in predicting genetic distribution.
It does not predict that adaptations are inevitable, nor even possible.
Really? Do you know anyone that has been treated for tuberculosis?
Population genetics does not tell which alleles will survive until you first tell population genetics about the differential survival of the allele pairs.
Perhaps you *think* that sentence imparts some type of useful information, but it does not. It is nonsense, and carries no meaning whatsoever.
Sir, I'm not going to try to explain a scientific theory to someone that is willfully ignorant of what the theory actually states. You choose to ignore the evidence, misstate the science, and draw specious conclusions based on arguments no one is making. All of that is your choice, of course, and you remain free to believe in whatever creation myth you choose. If your belief system is so fragile, however, that it depends on the willful ignorance of science, I feel very sorry for you.
You didn't answer my question, by the way. How do *you* think human beings came to have their present form?
