[@TheIceThorn]

@Abioye Bidziil 1- it has never been debunked outside of the gullible fantasy 2- macroevolution is just a name, factually it's impossible to recover EVERY SINGLE GENERATION UNTIL NOW because bones gets burnt or ate and since evolution is not a staircase like you gullibles paint it but a gradual slope your outcome makes no sense at all. We already have the evidence. 3- that generation by generation changes sums up until a specie is totally differentiated from the starting point is a leap of faith? Sorry but I can't hear you since we still read this due bonfire light is low and it's hard to read on punches paper strips, from caves, with smoke signals and pigeons while being dressed in pelts... you know... since nothing evolves... was you saying something like a flying ghost which is son and father of itself which is in your image and resemblance made the universe just for you is only a leap of faith?

I used to have a hard time understanding evolution till I excluded a director. Not that I was including it to begin with, but many of the attempts at explaining it to me often imposed a director, and/or direction. When I started to see that the tester of a biological experiment in mutation was not the entity, but the environment, and that a failing grade was death, I started to grasp it. The only agency a creature has is in how it uses what it has. I saw a three legged dog, bouncing around, playing and having fun, oblivious to the fact it was missing a leg. To have a crap, it leaned it's but on a tree on the side it was missing its hind leg. Making use of existing forms is an amazing part of life. Thanks for your great work.

[@ExtantFrodo2]

"how do you test evolution?" First you have to understand how it's supposed to work, then you conjecture about what you should expect to find, then you form a hypothesis based on that. The hypothesis part is where you test the idea. Basically "If we should expect to find X result from the unfolding of evolution on our planet then if the hypothesis is correct you will find X." Alternately you might conjecture that "If evolution was not true then we should find something anathema to the theory." For example: Predicting the locations of fossils on either side of that scheme. We find the kinds of fossils where we predict they will be. We find that the kinds of fossils that should not be certain places according to the theory are not there. These evidences strongly support and confirm the theory. Likewise with comparing the DNA of different species. Mindless copying of evolution predicts that we will find the same broken genes and synonymous genes in identical locations in "nearby species". Note this is a very different quality of gene than those that are necessary for the formation of the organism. They are unnecessary genes or the unnecessarily identical protein codes (synonymous genes: triplets that are not the same but code for the same peptide) There is no reason the should be the same because mutations to alternate forms don't prevent the manufacture of the same protein, yet we find time and time again the closer the species are phylogenetically, far more synonymous genes are the same instead of any of the many alternates. The theory of evolution is a model that explains the evidence (the facts) - like the order of the fossils in the geological column and the nested hierarchy of all life, the biogeographical distribution of extant and extinct species, the appearance of atavisms (and what kinds of atavisms are seen in which species),... and too much more to list.

I didn’t believe in evolution for 30 years because I only learned about it through my pastor and other Christian apologists who mock it. I was always told it in these ways: *Evolution believes that if it rains on rocks for millions of years eventually humans will pop out* *Evolution states that cats turn into dogs and one day a monkey gave birth to a human.* *Science is about what we observe and we always see cats producing cats and dogs producing dogs. I don’t know the last time a dog gave birth to a bird.* *Scientists make fun of Christian’s believing in the supernatural but they believe that an ethereal force called natural selection is making decisions on the best traits to choose from.* I kid you not, Christian’s are taught about evolution in the above way.

I'm from Shropshire UK, the very area where Charles Darwin was born and grew up. Its said he got his interest and love of nature from the Shropshire hills area. Shropshire Geology "The variety of geology in the Shropshire Hills is unequalled in any area of comparable size in Britain, or indeed the world. The hills, crags, scarps and valleys form a character that is so distinctive. No single hill or range stands out as the dominant feature. The Long Mynd, Stiperstones, Wenlock Edge, Wrekin, Clun and Clee Hills all owe their distinctive character to the rock type. The underlying geology also determines land use, patterns of settlement, and exploitation of minerals. Two centuries ago the pioneers of geological science, notably Roderick Murchison and Charles Lapworth, made many important discoveries in the Shropshire Hills. The local place names they gave to the geological formations are today adopted worldwide for rocks of the same age, e.g. Caradoc, Wenlock, Ludlow, Onnian and Sheinwoodian" As well as this area being World famous for science, the industrial areas are regarded as the birthplace of industry with the coking process which enabled us to cast Iron for the first time was developed in the Severn valley and helped push the industrial revolution as nearly all machinery and countless other things were then made with this useful material. The first Iron structure was built here at the village named after it in Ironbridge. The World's first inclined plane was built here in Ketley and closer to Darwin's home was Ditherington flax mill which was the first steel framed structure and precursor to all modern towers. This area also has lots of ancient and military history having many Neolithic stone circles, barrows and hillforts. This area was once ruled by the Cornovii a tribe of Celtic warriors lead by Caratacus who lead a rebellion against the Roman invaders and was later defeated at the Shropshire hill Caer Caradoc (Caer Caradoc is Welsh for Caractacus's fort). The Romans went on to build Viroconium in Shropshire, one of the biggest Roman settlements in the UK. Even today it has the biggest free standing Roman arch outside of Italy. During the dark ages this area was part of the Saxon area of Mercia at one point the most powerful Kingdom in the land and it's King Offa after years of battles with the Welsh, built a defensive dyke which formed the border between England and Wales for the next 1000 years. Into the early medieval period this area passed back and forward several times into Welsh and English hands after successful attacks from the Welsh Princes and heroes like Llewellyn Ap Gryffd and Owain Glyndwr but over time they were subdued and their prized Welsh archers became employed and then part of the wider 'English' Army. Darwin's home town was also the site of the Battle of Shrewsbury, one of the bloodiest battles ever fought on British soil. This is the battle where Harry Hotspur took an Army to overthrow the King. It was one of the first battles where English and Welsh archer teams fought against each other to literal annihilation. It's also the Battle where the young Prince Henry (later Henry V) was shot in the face with a crossbow bolt and had to have a special surgical instrument made to remove it from his cheekbone, and is still housed in the British museum London. He later went on to defeat the French at Agincourt only a few years later. Ludlow in the south of Shropshire is also famous for being the place where the two Princes were taken from on the request to go to London for their safety by the soon to be Richard iii before they went missing and he was made King in their absence.

How can you Tell which Kind of property of an animal is likely to be still present in a ancestor ? Because the property of Humans to Produce amoebas is also a property that you concluded sponges should have. But what If i Look at another property of a human for example that we have Red blood Cells and a circulatory system? Whats different between this assumption and your assumption ?

[@StatedClearly]

Amoebas and flagellates both live as free living single-celled organisms. The way amoebas move (even at the chemical level) is exactly the same as how our white blood cells move. The flagellum of a sperm cell works in exactly the same way as the flagellum of a flagellate (same protein structures, even the same number of filaments inside). To think both these movement types evolved de-novo in animals would not be parsimonious. Blood vessels, however, are only needed once animals get a certain size and are mobile. Many animals today don't have blood. Sponges and flatworms are good examples. Their oxygen is absorbed directly from the seawater. Flat worms get enough oxygen to each cell by being small and flat. Sponges do this by being full of holes and constantly pumping water through those holes with the beating of flagella.

Sorry creationists, but Darwin has not been proven wrong.

[@bandogbone3265]

The burden of proof is for evolution by random mutations to be proven right. There are many proofs that this proposed mechanism is not realistically plausible. For example, functional proteins are exceedingly rare and isolated in the combinatorial search space of all possible proteins, and there is no step-wise path of small changes that any selection process could follow to transform one functional protein to another. For this reason, functional proteins appear to be engineered, and cannot be the result of selecting small increments of random changes. The process could never even get started, since the odds of stumbling upon the first functional protein by chance are vanishingly small. By now, I expect evolution researchers would have compiled big catalogs of step-wise transitions from one functional protein to another. So far, I have not been able to find even a single such example, either observed in the wild or in a lab. There is actually no real meaning to "natural selection" -- it is a label, not a process - the term is a tautology -- circular reasoning -- the more fit survive and the survivors are the ones that are more fit, so "natural selection" adds nothing to describing the mechanism of evolution. One needs to step back and honestly apply principles of critical thinking and avoid logical fallacies in order to properly discern Darwinian evolution as it is currently taught in schools. When I see a bridge, plane, or computer, I know it was designed and built by engineers, even though I could not name any of them if you asked. Same thing holds true with the molecular machinery of life, which upon close study, is far more complicated and rich with interdependencies and abstract information on many more levels and layers than anything ever constructed by humans. Darwinian Evolution is false. Don't continue believing it just because we've not figured out a better theory yet. Also, don't play the "religious creationist" card, because that's not accurate, at least in my case. As a software engineer, I routinely copy/paste big chunks of code from old projects into new projects, sometimes modifying them in the process, sometimes not, and sometimes adding my own chunks of code that I have designed from scratch. When I see the same characteristics in DNA code, my first assumption should be that engineers made life, not that some incremental random process made life spontaneously appear. "Billions of years" only make things worse, not better, since random mutations are far more likely to destroy existing code than to create new functionality that was not there before. When I create a new module in software, I would get useless syntax errors if I tried to modify and test my code one character at a time. It is only when I finish coding the entire module, reasonably free from errors, that I would be able to start testing it. Again, when I see the same characteristincs in DNA as in human-created software, my first thought is that it's deliberately engineered, not selected from random gibberish that may every-now-and-then contain a fragment of code that could provide part of a useful function in a different context. Common ancestry is also false, failing to realize that "correlation is not causation" and "affirming the consequent". Even the ERV claims, though compelling, are not sufficient proofs.

Question: does races exist because of evolution, in humans. of course if we didn't migrate and have mixed races

[@TheBetterGame]

Depends on what you mean by "Race" because evolution is typically considered to have "happened" when organisms can no longer procreate, where what people call "race" in humans is only things like skin color and various other physical traits, whereas we can all still reproduce between each other. All humans are still in the same species, "race" is more like "breed" when considering other animals, which IS evolution (change over time), but it's not enough to be considered a different species... Did that make it confusing enough? If I've confused you, then we're definitely talking about evolution!

While many populations of Afrika are genticly much more diverse.

@@TheBetterGame no that didn't confuse me, what I meant as "race" is how people around the world adapted to the climate and habitat. example how people who live in the cold tend to be more muscular because muscle traps a lot of heat they have technically evolve to be more efficient in their climate.

[@Jiggerj01830]

How come we can't recognize evolution in the variation of mankind? Black, white, Asian, different shape of eyes, noses, pygmies, giant Zulus... With these differences now, how different will we be in a million years?

Now with mondialization, we go back towards mixing genes ...

[@geraintwd]

This is still evolution and there are many examples of mutations that exist in some human population that are not seen in others. For example, the gene that produces the enzyme lactase, which enables us to break down lactose from milk, used to get turned off when we grew into adulthood, as we no longer needed to drink milk beyond early childhood. At some point, thousands of years ago, some humans (mainly in Northern Europe and probably around the time we started to domesticate cows, goats, sheep, etc.) developed a mutation that caused this gene to not be switched off, so those people retain the ability to break down lactose. This is why lactose intolerance is much more common in Africa, Asia and South America than it is in Northern Europe and the US.

Evolution is simplicity at best, dumb theory.

Theory of Darwin could be proofed but first we need to see Mendel pea plant experiment.

[@foreverbooked2964]

In fact that experiment had helped solidify darwin's theory at a time when everyone was doubting it. Mendel showed that genes don't blend, contrary to what was thought at that time.

It’s just a theory so how would you know if your tests are correct lol

[@ozowen5961]

Do you know what a Theory is in science?

[@CesarClouds]

It's not "just a theory" - it's a SCIENTIFIC theory. Learn the difference if you care. Watch 5:43

@@CesarClouds scientific theory doesn’t make anything a fact 🤣 that’s like saying the theory that saturated fat causes heart disease yet there’s no study that proves that fact. Science isn’t fact. I think you’re confused on the word science.

[@CesarClouds]

@harda7xcore Scientific theories are superior to facts. That saturated fat causes heart disease is not a theory, it's a hypothesis. You wrote "yet there's no study that proves that fact". Huh? You got two things wrong and managed to contradict yourself in a single comment. Congratulations.

@@DontCancelMeBroscientific theories are explanations of facts. Evolution is a fact, the theory of evolution is the explanation.
