Creationism is the most stupid thing that exists. If I image that someone wants it to be teached in schools in the 21st century, i have to ask how stupid the average american is.

Again, what do you think evolution is? How do you think it works? Why do you keep referencing evolution like pokemon does?


do you know? there are so many different forms, but i got this, when something needs a limb it evolves, or mutations or what do you have now? it is difficult to keep track


Please tell me English is not your primary language, because holy hell, that is a mess.

No, evolution is not "when something needs a limb it evolves or mutations". That's not even remotely what evolution is. That's what pokemon evolution is, but that's not real life evolution.

You have just yet again proven you know nothing about evolution.

Creationism is a step back into the cruel darkness of medival ages.
No tolerance to religious fanatics and hypocrites.
Science means progress whatever it may takes, but religion means misery, oppression and suffering.
Evolution is an answer, christianity is a mental disease.

uwww... this was epic

Multiple times people have described it, and there is an entire list of links for you to explore.

Evolution is the process by which organisms change over time. It is not directed, it has no intention, it does not have a purpose. Animals do not evolve to fit their environment, species change over time to adapt to their environment. And sometimes, divergent adaptation's are sufficient to prevent those organisms from naturally breeding, leading to speciation.

no, creation, then they died and were covered up with dirt, hence the cambrian explosion

You realize that nothing that lived in the Cambrian lived on land, correct?

This is an era dominated by bugs, living in the sea.

A question, NaN: are you familiar with the eye and its development? I'm sure it's covered in one of the many sources repeatedly posted, but I have way too much free time and patience and can attempt to explain its evolution in hopefully simpler terms. I have no idea what I'm getting myself into. I'm not even an evolutionary biologist
