    as a matter of fact timmie, yes i do. I had a personal chat to God and he told me the creationism theory is full of shit. =) That stuff about Job just sounds like someone *trying* to have an intellectual wank. As to socrates. I know that there is a limit to the amount of knowledge a person can attain. However one does not need to know every single fact in order to form an opinion or a theory. Just as, one does not need to make every mistake in order to learn. God created every single one of those 500 000 000 beetles for out personal entertainment??? BAH HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. When was the last time you were getting to know all 500 000 000 personally? kidneys... it is believed amphibians arose from fish and mammals from amphibians. I would give you the scientific background on this though it would take me all night and i don't have the time. If you wish i could fish it out for you. At early development the blastula of all mammals is virtually the same. This begins to differentiate as an organism develops. Try looking at an 8 week picture of a turtle, a human, a mouse and a chicken foetus and tell me which one is which. no you are incorrect. Those finches were not adapted. They were very similar yet different enough that they were regarded as separate species. (A species is a group of organisms that can interbreed and procuce viable offspring). Once again the question arises? Why so many different species of finch when there could just be one or two. (environmental pressure, need to find a new ecological niche so they differentiate.) There is a biological law that no two organisms can inhibit the same niche at the same time. A trademark of a creationist is that they have never picked up a textbook on evolution nor have they any evidence for their own belief. Then they try to apply drivel out of the bible, which is very open to interpretation (a little like horoscopes). Maybe you can be the first and provide some evidence and create a well educated arguement, not blind faith.

    enviromental change leads to adaption. Change leads to evolution.

  3. Re:Mega-crap on Instant Earth, Just Add Dust Particles · · Score: 1

    Yes, but the next logical step is that after so much change these species will eventually fill different ecological niches and after a time their needs be so different they will be unable to interbreed. The classic example is Darwin's finches, of a genus so similar but the specimens different enough to be considered separate species. How do you account for all the similarities in design and DNA? After all, if evolution is wrong, what is right?

    It remains a theory as we have not had a significant environmental change in our lifetime to observe a response to it.

    haha i love it. I'll agree that i've had enough of ignorant people who haven't even picked up an evolutionary textbook slamming the theory and self riteously glorifying the bible and saying it's right, just coz. Rather than creating a well educated arguement and analysing both aspects of the arguement.

    Evolution will always remain a THEORY, unless some enlightened person finds a way to travel through time with their video and prove it. However it has a lot of biological support. When one looks at embryos and see's so many simalarities and the function of vestigal organs. If you were God why would you design three different sets of kidneys for a human foetus. In early development one develops kidnyes similar to a fish, they are destroyed, replaced by kidneys similar to an amphibian and destroyed, then eventually a mammalian pair are formed and remain. And why would God form half a billion species of beetle?? Evolution occurs as a response to an environmental stimulis. It can be observed at the molecular level in micro organisms, it can be observed in generations of finches. It can be observed in fossils. Before you start shooting down a theory try and provide an arguement against it.

    you obviously don't know very much about biology

    i disagree. Most viruses have a specifit host. Most host cells have specific protein receptors. All one would have to do is code the viral receptors to a specific surface protein on a specific cell. Kind of like a lock and key mechanism. The possibilities are endless.
