Evolution Test

[Niur]

Teachers, give this test to your students if you really want them to know the truth about evolution!

1. Which evolved first, male or female?
2. How many millions of years elapsed between the first male and first female?
3. List at least 9 of the false assumptions made with radioactive dating methods.
4. Why hasn't any extinct creature re-evolved after millions of years?
5. Which came first:
...the eye,
...the eyelid,
...the eyebrow,
...the eye sockets,
...the eye muscles,
...the eye lashes,
...the tear ducts,
...the brain's interpretation of light?
6. How many millions of years between each in question 5?
7. If we all evolved from a common ancestor, why can't all the different species mate with one another and produce fertile offspring?
8. List any of the millions of creatures in just five stages of its evolution showing the progression of a new organ of any kind. When you have done this, you can collect the millions of dollars in rewards offered for proof of evolution!
9. Why is it that the very things that would prove Evolution (transitional forms) are still missing?
10. Explain why something as complex as human life could happen by chance, but something as simple as a coin must have a creator. (Show your math solution.)
11. Why aren't any fossils or coal or oil being formed today?
12. List 50 vestigial or useless organs or appendages in the human body.
13. Why hasn't anyone collected the millions of dollars in rewards for proof of evolution?
14. If life began hundreds of millions of years ago, why is the earth still under populated?
15. Why hasn't evolution duplicated all species on all continents?

First of all, this is ridiculously hilarious.

I find them terribly disgusting, however at one point I did eat them. However I have luckily erased those memories from my brain all together. Why do you ask?

So? I have only a small* percent of DNA in common with monkeys, certainly not enough to judge or induvidual food preferences.


*I have a rather different concept of small than most people

[Buffett and Colbert]

The fact that the author of this bullshit thinks that a male or female had to evolve first in a species for evolution to work is sad... Niur, a biologist could explain this to you much better than I can, but sex chromosomes are what make evolution possible. Without birth and rebirth in a species, nothing would change (obviously). One sex couldn't have evolved without the other. Period. That is why we don't see "monosex" (I feel there is a word for that, but I can't remember what it is) species (unless they have some mechanism to fertilise their own eggs). The author also assumes that different parts of the body had to evolve one at a time, which is dumb.

Of course I understand this, But I figured I bring this to NS beacuse I found it to be hilarious, and much (at least 90%) at what NSGers do is laugh at terrible arguments so much so that they will allow trolling as long as the troll is arguing a point that is easily defeated by the standerd NSGer. I believe this may be related to self-esteem issues.

Darwin explained it and answered it thouroughly in the origin of species, which I doubt the author has eveer even heard of much less read.

Either the creator of the test is eating paint chips with his burgers, or he's a creationist. Or both. Probably both.

He actually used it as an example. Can't remember which page though.

the eye, though technically it was only a photosensitive patch of cells. It would likely have interpreted light as a pain sensation.

Number 14 is not bad, either. I just read of a mat of micro-organisms on the floor of the Pacific that's about the size of Greece. Unpopulated, my eye. The whole place is crawling with life, literally.

[Borinata]

Teachers, give this test to your students if you really want them to know the truth about evolution!

1. Which evolved first, male or female? As we all know, isogamy was the rule before the sexes split, but my money's on male, as anisogamy was likely a way for some species to not put as much energy into gamete production.
2. How many millions of years elapsed between the first male and first female? Completely irrelevant: if it was 10 million it's okay, but if it's 11 million evolution is disproved?
3. List at least 9 of the false assumptions made with radioactive dating methods.While I can completely understand qualms about assuming radioactive decay is A: a completely constant process and B. constant under all conditions, I've thus far gotten two only 2 questionable assumptions...
4. Why hasn't any extinct creature re-evolved after millions of years? Considering the odds of it evolving in the first place were extremely, expecting it to come around again is likely expecting two flips of a coin to land sideways
5. Which came first:
...the eye,
...the eyelid,
...the eyebrow,
...the eye sockets,
...the eye muscles,
...the eye lashes,
...the tear ducts,
...the brain's interpretation of light? Scientists theorize that the first step was light sensitive tissue which likely tapped into already present heat/pressure neurons. Then some sort of interpretation of light waves specifically as the tissue began to form an inverted cup (think an eye socket with no eyeball. After that, it's a tossup as to which came first depending on which species eye you mean, however I'm sure the eyebrows and eye lashes came last as they have nothing to do with sight.
6. How many millions of years between each in question 5? See question 2
7. If we all evolved from a common ancestor, why can't all the different species mate with one another and produce fertile offspring? Because they do not share identical genes arranged identically on a matching number of chromosomes, resulting in the in-expression of a large number of genes that are necessary for the healthy development of an organism and the maintenance of life.
8. List any of the millions of creatures in just five stages of its evolution showing the progression of a new organ of any kind. When you have done this, you can collect the millions of dollars in rewards offered for proof of evolution! Let's see, bacterium, animal-like protist, sponge, cnidarian, annelid, fish, amphibian, reptile, mammal, Pentecostal preacher, Neanderthal, Homo sapiens. I'll take my money now.
9. Why is it that the very things that would prove Evolution (transitional forms) are still missing? Obviously they don't prove evolution, since we don't have them. On a related note, no one has proven evolution, they have however provided a framework for understanding how life may have evolved through natural processes and eliminated false hypotheses.
10. Explain why something as complex as human life could happen by chance, but something as simple as a coin must have a creator. (Show your math solution.) Because life randomly mutates and natural selection preserves only beneficial mutations, unlike the US mint which purposefully makes shitty currency that dominates and everyone is forced to use (seriously, why is my $5 bill purple?)
11. Why aren't any fossils or coal or oil being formed today? But they are, it just takes a while. That's like asking how come the cake I just placed in the oven isn't done already.
12. List 50 vestigial or useless organs or appendages in the human body. I can't, apparently evolution doesn't let anything go to waste.
13. Why hasn't anyone collected the millions of dollars in rewards for proof of evolution? Because I'm awaiting your payment via money order or certified check
14. If life began hundreds of millions of years ago, why is the earth still under populated? Have you been to China? It's pretty crowded. However, the important thing to remember isn't the length of time in question but the reproductive rates, most ecological niches have been filled, generally by evolutionary processes creating new and distinct organisms.
15. Why hasn't evolution duplicated all species on all continents? [/quote] See question 4

Jesus that hurt.

OK, I'll be the first to admit I have doubts about life's ability to create enough beneficial mutations to evolve everything in a few billion years as well as serious metaphysical doubts about the spontaneous creation of matter and time, however if you're gonna call something false, do it because you know some truth.

[Aggicificicerous]

I quite like question five, anyone care to answer it, because the secular side of my brain is frankly stumped

the eye, though technically it was only a photosensitive patch of cells. It would likely have interpreted light as a pain sensation.

The most likely explanation is that organisms developed light-sensitive patches called "eyespots" (not real eyes) capable of detecting light, not as a pain sensation but more to know which direction to swim in. Even today, there are single-celled organisms like the euglena with these eyespots. As the euglena is photosynthetic, you can see how light-sensitivity is a great asset. However, single-celled organisms do not have brains; those would have come much later.

Teachers, give this test to your students if you really want them to know the truth about evolution!
1. Which evolved first, male or female? What do you consider evolved because some of us men don't act it
2. How many millions of years elapsed between the first male and first female? Not that many obviously or you wouldn't be able to reproduce -dur dur dur
3. List at least 9 of the false assumptions made with radioactive dating methods. Well sometimes STD's spread like wildfire
4. Why hasn't any extinct creature re-evolved after millions of years? Well maybe because it wasn't fit. Read the damn theory you incestial halfbreed
5. Which came first: Well I never finished so neither of us
...the eye,
...the eyelid,
...the eyebrow,
...the eye sockets,
...the eye muscles,
...the eye lashes,
...the tear ducts,
...the brain's interpretation of light?
6. How many millions of years between each in question 5? I only count one line and that is a measurement of distance you idiot
7. If we all evolved from a common ancestor, why can't all the different species mate with one another and produce fertile offspring? Because of Reproductive Isolation. Again read up on what you start flaming about
8. List any of the millions of creatures in just five stages of its evolution showing the progression of a new organ of any kind. When you have done this, you can collect the millions of dollars in rewards offered for proof of evolution! Look up evolution of horse
9. Why is it that the very things that would prove Evolution (transitional forms) are still missing? They aren't - or at least not most of them
10. Explain why something as complex as human life could happen by chance, but something as simple as a coin must have a creator. (Show your math solution.) Because humans are the creator and we are dumb and so we can only create simple things and also what does this have to do with religion
11. Why aren't any fossils or coal or oil being formed today? They probably are we really can't watch it happen - gradual change
12. List 50 vestigial or useless organs or appendages in the human body. Well obviously your brain and probably your dick
13. Why hasn't anyone collected the millions of dollars in rewards for proof of evolution? Because we aren't money hungry and nobody is going to give you money
14. If life began hundreds of millions of years ago, why is the earth still under populated? Depends on which species you are talking about. All species go through dips and peaks in population size. However, humans have avoided natural selection and are well above theirs
15. Why hasn't evolution duplicated all species on all continents? Because every situation is different and different things are needed to survive

[Sarkhaan]

The fact that the author of this bullshit thinks that a male or female had to evolve first in a species for evolution to work is sad... Niur, a biologist could explain this to you much better than I can, but sex chromosomes are what make evolution possible. Without birth and rebirth in a species, nothing would change (obviously). One sex couldn't have evolved without the other. Period. That is why we don't see "monosex" (I feel there is a word for that, but I can't remember what it is) species (unless they have some mechanism to fertilise their own eggs). The author also assumes that different parts of the body had to evolve one at a time, which is dumb.

Nope. Check how single cell life still reproduces to this day. It's via mitosis rather than meiosis and sexual reproduction.
