Do you believe in Evolution?

[Daedric Stellar Empire]

i believe in a evolution but not from apes

In a way you're somewhat right, since humans and the currently existing primates share a common ancestor. Mind you, that common ancestor was pretty ape-like. Can't win 'em all, kid.

anyway this is still a theory, like many other things in science, before is taken as the only truth but in the future may be rebutted by better theories

It's perfectly possible that they find fossils of even more primate ancestors, yes. Theories usually evolve as well, since new discoveries often lead to addendums and fine-tuning of the original theory.

I am a firm believer in Evolution.....If of course we are talking about Pokemon.

that's not really evolution, more like growing up...

[Hyfling]

Inb4...never mind.

[Chinese Regions]

Who are you? Ash Ketchum?

No he's Red.

In both HGSS and B2W2, NPC Red only does that to this Pikachu, he evolves all three of his Kanto starters to their final form.

Science is made of theories - that is, sets of replicable observations explained by a logically consistent model. That is, "facts", not just "truths".

Is this an IC joke?

Look, Pokemon are clearly the product of a bioweapons program and therefore actually proof of intelligent design. Their 'spontaneous' evolutions have clearly been hardcoded into their genetic material by the military bio-engineers of a forgotten era.

Obviously created by the same species that bioengineered the Xenomorphs.

You and I could probably write a rather disturbing crossover fanfic.

No


We were made by aliens

No

prometheus teaches that

Been reading Erich von Däniken, perhaps?

[Dezumanian Tribe]

I trust the well documented facts that:

1. All living things passes on their DNA to their offsprings.
2. DNA will occationally mutate.

From those 2 points you can easily derive that, over time, beneficial mutations will acclumate while bad ones will disappear. That is Evolution.

[Sassinia]

Whatch'ya think?

I don't believe in evolution, I know it exists.

[Merconitonitopia]

Indeed I do.

[Dyakovo]

And...another blind believer in science....

wat

Science is not a system of faith, no belief is necessary.

No, I believe that The Lord created us six to ten thousand years ago.

Your belief is factually incorrect.

....fair enough

Well we didn't evolve from modern monkeys.

Nor did we evolve from ancient monkeys.

Humans are primates. Physical and genetic similarities show that the modern human species, Homo sapiens, has a very close relationship to another group of primate species, the apes. Humans and the great apes (large apes) of Africa -- chimpanzees (including bonobos, or so-called “pygmy chimpanzees”) and gorillas -- share a common ancestor that lived between 8 and 6 million years ago. Humans first evolved in Africa, and much of human evolution occurred on that continent. The fossils of early humans who lived between 6 and 2 million years ago come entirely from Africa.

What is still a theory, evolution? Are you aware of what a scientific theory is?

[Pravengria]

Yes I believe in evolution. Creationism is outdated in my opinion.

[Vatican XIII]

Yes, I believe in Evolution. Genesis was symbolic and that's the first 4 chapters or summary of what happens during the evolution. If The Greatest Architect Of The Universe included the complete evolution in the book, Genesis will look like an encyclopedia. Well that is so huge multi-volume to read before Exodus.

this thread is probably gonna get locked by the mods

Which begs the question, why on Earth did you post it?

To give me an edge in the Mod Olympics, God bless him.

Anyway, we have an active thread on this, so iLock.
