Explain to me how god was made
I find it funny how Christians rely on some celestial being for almost anything, he hasn't given us any sort of sign what-so-ever that he actually exists. For all you know, the bible could be fake.
There is no proof that there is no god, but there is no proof that there is a god
that's not how mafia works
Burden of proof is a thing
I literally asked my religion teacher if he believes im god and he said no
Yeah i did too. She said hes just a metaphor
keep on be-Lie-ving in your Evil-ution then, m'kay
evolution happened
True
~~darwinian evil-ution~~ \ ❌
If evolution happened why isn’t it seen today in some form
It is on small scales @Depression2405 .
Its not
You don't see species changing species
Yes. Species do not change into other species
"Researchers from Princeton University and Uppsala University in Sweden report that the newcomer belonging to one species mated with a member of another species resident on the island, giving rise to a new species that today consists of roughly 30 individuals." https://phys.org/news/2017-11-galapagos-species.html
@Depression2405 There are many examples of animals evolving in different environments to be kept alive or left alone by predators
https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/2018/11/wildlife-watch-news-tuskless-elephants-behavior-change/ This is always my favorite example of it
We witness the jump from single-celled to multi-celled in under 11 months. Multiply that by about a billion and you get the picture.
Oh wow, that's some cool stuff @Credibly Charted .
I love hearing all the stories of how humans have accidentally caused adaptation.
Haha, indeed
It's a small example of an animal changing to keep it's survival but also a big step in the way of proving evolution/adaptation to environment in the animal kingdom
I don't think anybody denies adaptation. Lots of creationists even accept species changes.
Such as Ken Ham.
It's new "kinds" (whatever that means) that they want to see directly.
Is the thing about evolution like how humans evolved from apes and whatnot?
Yeah
Makes sense
What made these species?
It tells you in the articles.
Environmental pressures trigger natural selection. The tuskless elephants had an advantage because poachers wouldn't want to hunt them. The algae went multicellular because paramecia were hunting them. It's a lot easier to survive the onslaught when you've got many cells than when you've got only one.
What made the environmental pressures
What designed the life
@Credibly Charted it is called adapting
@Ivan Pavlovich wouldn’t we be able to see the in between stages of evolution to be able to prove it
@Depression2405 Eehhhhhhh.... It would support large-scale evolution, but it wouldn't prove it. I may be nitpicking here, but *all* adaptations fall under "evolution". It's just that when people hear "evolution", they think of large-scale changes. So, those changes you see do prove evolution because they *are* evolution, but you really can't extrapolate that to large-scale changes without more evidence.
As for Citizen's questions, 1. The environmental pressures came from nature. Some are applied by humans, some by predators, and others are just consequences of local conditions. 2. Who says life was designed?
