Science kicks a field goal

[DCPassarelli]

I am not saying he "redid" animals. I am saying that he might not have made all of them at once. In order to make these that he didn't create yet, maybe he noticed that it would be easier to simply change a few things in animals that already existed.

fleaflicker: Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny went out with the nickle popsicle. You're gonna base evolution on how the human embryo developes inside the womb? C'mon, this is is ONE THEORY that NEVER made it!!!...Where are the fossils that PROVE man developed from apes? They find a fossil of an ancient wristbone and someone says it proves a connection between man and ape. Is this a joke or what?...Legs are very similar in alot of different species. Don't you think that when God found a great design for locomotion he stuck with it? Maybe that's why you don't see three-legged animals.... There is absolutely NO hardfast evidence out there to prove evolution happened. Not in common design, fossils, bones, embryology, comparative anatomy, NOWHERE. That's why it is still conjecture, a theory!!

[DCPassarelli]

Then why are there so many different types of eyes? If God figured out one way to see, don't you think he would have stuck with it?

[El-Moldo]

ALL the animals were made before man was made. NO new animals were created after man.

[The Ancient Enemy]

What if Man creates an animal? You know, like a jackalope or that furry fish TJ Morris invented. Did he have to go back in time before man to created that? He probably did. Anyone with the ingenuity to stick bear fur on a catfish definitely has the ingenuity to build a time machine.

[El-Moldo]

Does the Eagle need a different type of vision than the owl does? Does the bat need a different type of vision than a squirrel? So you're telling me that ALL these different types of eyes developed independently of each other to satisfy the needs of each creature???? If you ask me, all these different types of eyes SUPPORT creation rather than evolution. I mean what's the chance that an eye would develope on it's own, let alone many different kinds of eyes. Don't you think they were designed with each creature in mind? I mean if an eagle developed a human eye, it would be starving or flying into trees. Isn't it amazing that it got the right type of eye that it needed to survive, and NOT by chance.

There are so many fossils of early humans that it isn't funny. I've seen several of these specimans in my biology class. Besides fossils, there is the embryotic evidence, and also genetic evidence. Roughly 99 percent of our genes are identical to those of a chimp. So there is one heck of a lot of evidence for this.

Here's a list of the most important fossils:

Anyways, there are so many sources one could get varifying the fossil evidence, genetic evidence, developmental evidence, and any other kinds of evidence of human evolution, that it just isn't funny.

Features develop over time, and as animal evolves in a particular environment, its traits evolve to suit the environment that it is in. Why do bats even have eyes at all if they use their ears to do their seeing? Why do whales have homologous bones towards the end of the creature, where the legs would have been, if these bones are completely and totally useless? Why do birds have legs with scales as opposed to skin and feathers? Why do embryotic humans have gills (still haven't answered that one)? Evolution answers all of these questions. What's your explanation, El Moldo?

[El-Moldo]

Human embryos DO NOT have gills. Just because pharyngal pouches innearly fetuses LOOK LIKE gills doesn't mean anything. Scientists gave up on thie theory many moons ago.... Sure there are fossils of early humans. Show me the transitional fossils which prove the different stages of developement between ape and man. Show me where ONE species developed into another!!...Sure features of all living things may change over time. We've been over this. It's called adaptation. It's how the snowshoe rabbit got big feet over time as compared to a regular rabbit. BUT show me how ONE SPECIES used changes in the environment to completely develope into ANOTHER SPECIES. You know, how a rat developed into a cat. It just didn't happen, or else we would see ratty-cats running around today, or at least fossil evidence of them. And that is what evolution is: species evolving into another species, not giraffes getting longer necks!! It just didn't happen!!

[fleaflicker]

El Moldo hits the extra point. The pouches do not function as actual gills, but why are they even there in the first place?
