Author Topic: Why are we alive if everything that makes us is "dead".  (Read 2579 times)

Captain Falcon defined what is alive.

It's what he hasn't Falcon Punched yet.

It's an example of something called Evolution.

Yeah sure but that's not how evolution works
Thing x doesn't just "turn into" thing y
Such large scale changes would take tons of generations, with differences between generations so minute they would mostly be immeasurable.
Summing it up as "turns into" is just dumbing it down so much that it just doesn't work anymore and that's what breeds creationists spewing "that makes no sense"

As an AP English and reluctant Biology student I will take the time to educate you on the process of evolution and the English language.


On the subject of Biology:

I have a Universal and Biological Evolution poster on my wall. Got it at the Oklahoma Museum of Natural History for $20.


As you can see, the "Mammalia" family starts quiet late on the poster. Let's see what the first animal was.


As you can see, it's a mouse-like animal. The Haramiya bridges from a Sinodelphys to a Primate and a Rodent at this point.


After bridging, it quickly (in the overall span of life) becomes a Homo-sapient. Us. This shows how the ancestors mouse-like creature developed into a human


On the subject of the English language:

Often, when summarizing, we say things that are not to be interpreted literally. I wrote a short paragraph explaining that life is defined as something that evolved, and that a mouse[1] turns into a human[2].

1. I did not literally mean a mouse. I used the term because a mouse is the closest ancestor to a Haramiya that would instantly be understood by the reader. Few people, myself included, knew what a Haramiya was before reading this.

2. When I said, "turn into" I was stating that it changes. I phrased it in a short way, as explaining the well-documented process of evolution would take many pages. However-- it is still correct in a literal since. I never implied it happened instantly.

I hope this has helped to educate you and clear any misunderstandings between us.

McZealot applies the edge without cream.

Right, I understand all this.
This problem is in this case many people do take it literally
and that's what breeds creationists spewing "that makes no sense"

Single celled organisms are still living
