Evolution is BS and based on guesses

Post Reply New Topic

LNH, there are several problems in the hypothesis you are presenting.

Firstly, you made a big thing about paternal mitochondrial DNA not being passed on, and that this was somehow a problem. It isn't - mitochondrial DNA is passed maternally.

Secondly, yes, it would make sense for a designer to use the same genes to design the same proteins for the same function in different organisms. However, not only is this not what happens - check out the differences in haemoglobins for an obvious, and fairly dramatic, example - but the similarities between the DNA of different species are in the non-coding regions. There does not seem to be a reason for them to be similar, but they are. Common descent would explain that, because mutations accumulate from the ancestor's DNA.

Thirdly, using DNA to infer evolution does not start off by assuming evolution. It starts off by assuming the DNA of offspring resembles that of its parents, and the closer an individual's DNA resembles another shows you how closely they are related. We know this is true from testing it.

I do not see why people find it so hard to believe we evolved on our own, even if there were aliens they too would have had to have a beginning and evolved. so if you can accept that then why not us too? and the truth of it is, unless there is actually a way for us to fold space and time, it would take us thousands of years to travel to any star, so would most likely be machines we would send that would out live us and evolve into their own races. and most any aliens out there would have to do the same.

No. I am only saying that it appears the premise of Promethus is possible, and it is human arrogance to think otherwise.

But you admitted that "evolution is the only thing supported by the facts". So how is it arrogant to dismiss it. You admit there is no reason to consider it. So why should scientists consider it?

I don't dismiss it.

Perhaps ....

50% chance life evolved based on science theory
25% chance based on religious creationism
10% chance of alien GODs
15% chance of alternate theories

I have an open mind. Would you bet your life that evolution theory is right? I wouldn't. "Evolution theory" may be vastly different in a hundred years. Scientists in the future will say, "it was foolish but scientists a 100 years ago actually believed ....".

^ you have an open mind, really? if you seriously give creationism a 25% chance of being correct then I would say your mind is open to just about all forms of nonsense and BS. I have not taken much notice so far in this particular thread because I am simply sick and bloody tired of repeating the same facts to the same sort of religious minds.

You lot use Faith to completely ignore the facts whenever it suits you, its pathetic. stop being so bloody stubborn and stupid, admit that genesis is nothing more than a series of stories written in a time of abject biological and geological ignorance, and it is all wrong.

Its really kind of sad, here we are with the repository of the worlds knowledge literally at our fingertips, and here you are ignoring all this wealth of information, instead preferring the opinions of people who were writing before the wheel had been invented. Educating people like you is a waste of resources.

Occams' razor comes into play. The simplest of two competing theories is preferred. Could evolution be a secret effort by Leprechauns that perfectly mimicked natural evolution? Sure, but....

I'm probably wasting my time but here is a wikipedia article about evidence for common descent. Just by looking at the table of contents you see that the amount of evidence is huge, and comes from many different angles. DNA, fossils, geographical distribution of species, observed speciation, comparative anatomy, vestigial organs, the merged chromosome in humans vs other great apes, endogenous retroviruses, the list is enormous. To not believe in common descent requires someone to believe in one of the biggest conspiracy theories ever: either all the scientists are frauds and fooling the whole world, or some Creator made it look as if evolution happened to fool us.
This last aspect is just like the Church of Last Thursdayism: the world was created last thursday with us in it, and we were given fake memories to make it look as if the world was older than Last Thursday.
Anyway, here's the wiki article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evidence_for_common_descent

^ Excellent link, thanks for posting that.
