Well, I see you've brought up this Social Darwinism thing. SD is a creation from the 1800's and doesn't exist. The fact is Evolution either is or isn't. As you've admitted, you don't want to live in a survival of the fittest society. But that is what brought modern man to the point it is today. However, it would seem there are many who reject Evolution because of the natural selection aspect of it.
Again, either evolution is, or isn't. There is no in between, as far as I can tell. Yet, that is where people who demand evolution be the only consideration find themselves.
No, I don't hate science at all. I've patterned my life's work on exploiting it.
I wonder how evolution will be impacted by those who seek to change it's natural progress? For that is what many, if not most, liberals, etc., are supporting every day.
Well, based on most of your rhetoric, you would probably love a society where we let the weak to die and everyone fends for themselves, but that would be against every reason we created society in the first place. You've made a childish argument that in order to understand how nature has brought us here, we must continue doing that same thing forever and until the end of time. Might want to change that "slightly conservative" to "fanatically conservative".
As I said, if you can disprove evolution, present your evidence, have it peer reviewed, then become mind blowingly rich and famous. You could be the one person in history to disprove the mountains upon mountains of evidence, gathered over 150 years, so go ahead.
That's really very simple. Explain Natural Selection in Evolution Theory.
I already did that, and you failed to even grasp what it meant. Apparently you either think genetic variations can't occur, or they can't be an advantage or disadvantage in a particular environment. Personally I think you just reject anything that conflicts with your narrow-minded worldview.
Okay, well the first thing on there looks like an ape or a chimp. And I've always heard people say we basically evolved from them, at least until this thread. I see things that look exactly like the ape depicted in the picture in today's world and I of course see humans every day. I've never seen anything in between, and the only answer so far is "hey dumbass...hey idiot, what we evolved from looked exactly like today's ape but it wasn't". Sorry, doesn't sound like a simple clear cut answer and I don't know how anyone can justify the difference between today's ape and the one in the evolution picture.
I don't mind the thought of us evolving at all. I just think it's ridiculous when you talk so arrogantly about science as if it's so easy but you can't easily explain things that, according to you, any idiot should understand, like evolution and global warming.
We wrongly assumed you had a science class in elementary school. No one educated has said that we came from apes, that has been evolution deniers who don't understand it trying to make things up.
The fact is, and this is directly observable, genetic variations occur, that's why you and your siblings are not identical. One may be a little bit taller, one a bit smarter, one a bit faster, blonder, whatever. If that genetic variation helps in survival, that sibling is more likely to reproduce and pass that genetic variation onto the offspring, over millions of generations those desirable variations are propagated while the unhelpful variations are not. There is no direct transition, none of our ancestors just popped out a new species one day, the process has been continuous and incremental. We don't come from monkeys, we share a common ancestor with them.
Yet there's no missing link, nothing walking around today that's half ape/half human or in other words, in the process of evolving. It's like telling everyone what a catastrophe Global Warming is when it's not getting any warmer out...you just look foolish no matter how many times you explain it or how many scientific papers back you up.
The fact that you're expecting a half-ape half-man pretty thoroughly proves you know absolutely nothing about evolution and can't even define it. As such, I won't waste any more time trying to explain elementary school science that's been settled for a century and a half to someone who actively rejects knowledge and science.
