What kind of argumentation is that? I heard it through the grapevine?
I tell you we are all chemical reactions so what the #### we are bothering about !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (See my previous post)
There can be no devine creature, and who can explain me the evolution of a butterfly?
Egg,caterpillar,pupa,butterfly.
So evolution did not took place as Darwin divised it.
If I say GOD exists there will always be a moron to say me that premise is false.
if I say GOD does not exist there will be another moron to tell me that that premise is false.
So what is the truth?
Why bother?
Let the grass grow! Let the birds sing! Live your life happily, it is to short to bother about this
thread which is interesting but leads us to nowhere...

Egg,caterpillar,pupa,butterfly.

thats not evolution, thats growth. The DNA of the creature does not change. It is still the same species.

Why bother? Let the grass grow! [...]

Are you nuts? I am going to make sure I get as much use as I can out of this new lawnmower. After all, it cost a bundle.thats not evolution, thats growth. The DNA of the creature does not change. It is still the same species.
Metamorphosis, jbennet, metamorphosis.

Metamorphosis is the process by which an organisms form or structure develops through cell growth and differentiation but the term does not apply to aspects of normal cell growth, including rapid growth spurts

so i was still correct

so i was still correct

Yes, James, you still were correct.

Why are you commenting then?

Well VernonDozier, I believe your a very nice guy (or girl) you win. I will stop commenting on this thread. Love to you all.

I'm a guy. You can comment all you want. It just seemed silly to call everyone commenting a moron and then comment yourself.

VernonDozier, you are not doing yourself a favor by misinterpreting on purpose other people's comment.
He did not call anyone commenting a moron.
What he said was:If I say GOD exists there will always be a moron to say me that premise is false.
if I say GOD does not exist there will be another moron to tell me that that premise is false.
Which is much different.

Of course these types of questions are going on. They go on in the American population in general so Americans will post on this topic.

Btw: Creationism what?

That's not what I was implying. I'm saying, these types of questions have already been brought up in an earlier thread (more than once).

Creationism is my answer.

for those of you who are fairly new, you may want to look at

the whole idea of god, evolution, and creationism was explored in detail

shame i cant unlock it, i aint a mod of it, would be good to merge it with this

I am surprised no one has mentioned the peppered moth example of evolution in action. For anyone who is unfamiliar with this example here is a short explanation:

The peppered moth was originally dominated by a light coloration of the wings which gave them camouflage when resting on the tree lichens. During the industrial revolution in england the majority of lichens died out and the trees were covered in soot. This increased the visibility of the moth and the light color dominance lessened due to increased predation. The majority of moths then became black winged because they were better suited to the environment.

This is a perfect example of natural selection.

Ok, so now say half of this population was in a colder environment and the dark wings allowed for better heat absorption and thus, a longer life into the winter. The longer life cycle into the cold could then cause another trait such as shorter antenna to become dominant. This cycle could then continue until another branch off of the more southern peppered moth is established.

One change causes another which cause another and so on, until a different species is established.

In my opinion (and many others will agree) thats how it works. One thing leads to another until a thousand generations have passed all having alleles which have successively become dominant due to past allele dominance and continual environmental changes.

same reason african and indian elephants are different

No j, there different because when god put them there he thought, "hhmmmm why not put different ones in africa and india".

:)

they are adapted with relation to thier ears and surface area to mass and surface area to volume ratios.

Is the purpose of the ratios for heat loss or metabolic processes?
