Evolution is real guys.

[Anybody]

My joke was taken seriously. Has science gone too far?

[Ad Bot]

[WaterOre]

definitely fake

[dkamm65]

And people get angry when i constantly question the theory of evolution. 

Question it all you want. It has the facts to back it up.

i knew the second i saw those ten pages that stuff was started

That lack of reading comprehension is impressive. He was sarcastically pointing out that Christianity is not special because those religions still exist and have a large following each.

The Old Testament, from what I have read of it, works more like a holy book with a set of guidelines than a documentary. The New Testament, from what I have read of it, contains four documentations of Jesus' life and death, along with several supplementary books written by his disciples. It is treated as a holy book, otherwise it would not be called the "Holy Bible." Like the one I have. Sitting on my bookshelf. And have read.
What you may not know about the bible is that, in its current form, it is heavily abridged from the original documents. Many of Jesus' teenage years were cut out of the Bible apparently because Jesus was too extreme for the bible. I don't know. Point is that man has tampered with "god's word" for a while now, and the bible in its modern form has only existed for like a few hundred years.

Actually if a series of environmental factors suddenly favored legless humans, and there was a defect that resulted in shorter legs, that would gradually be bred into the species, and would ultimately result in less legged humans and a whole lot more legless ones. This would occur over hundreds or thousands or even millions of years. Evolution is a slow process, and many of the species you see today have looked the same for a long time. Others have changed rapidly. Cows aren't like wild bulls, pigs aren't like wild boars, dogs aren't like wild wolves. All derived from their wild counterparts and have become entirely different species.

But that is the answer. We don't know as a species. We cannot look back several trillion years into our universe's history. We cannot find any written documents about how the universe formed because nothing was around to write about it. Or if there was, whatever they wrote has long be destroyed or otherwise damaged to the point of illegibility, and we would be unable to read it anyways. If there is substantial evidence directly proving that some big floating dude with a beard in the sky made the entire universe and it's not just a case of lack of evidence claiming otherwise, I will believe in that god. Otherwise it is much easier to look at something and attempt to explain it, dissect it, and understand it scientifically, to either sate curiosity, or explore how it could be used to benefit humanity.

You're ignoring his point. The point is that if instead of explaining disease as being caused by environmental hazards and microscopic bacteria and other forgetin' richardheaded stuff that likes to make people sick, we explained it as Divine Intervention, by whatever gods you want to have it from - Zeus, God, Allah, Horus, some dragon sick of humanity's stuff whatever - we would not have progressed in the field of modern medicine. Many of our scientific advances, especially those weighing in on a microscopic level, would not have occurred if we hadn't sought to explain things with something other than god.

I will accept that religious people have made breakthroughs in their fields countless amounts of times, however.

When you responded to me, you seemed to argue two different points. May I have a thesis?

Holy stuff snip the quotes dang
I was attempting to refute the point where you called the Holy Bible a historically accurate document or whatever instead of a holy book and then launched off into a tangent which can be summarized as "the bible was written by man."

[HerpaDerp]

nah looks like an avocado

[Ten-Speed]

I don't really know what a guava looks like but I think that might be it.

[HerpaDerp]

the real issue: WHAT FRUIT WAS USED AS PROOF??

[WaterOre]

My money's on it being an apple.

[Katadeus]

Maaan

[XR-7]

Stupid stupid foolish stupid.
