Evolution is real guys.

did they not teach you this?

It's not as much people aren't taught it, it's that they refuse to accept/acknowledge the evidence because they're taught that questioning their religion is the work of Satan or whatever. I saw this documentary, and during part of it they took this creationist girl and slowly explained to her stuff, physically took her to dig sites and explained how her model of belief is simply incompatible with what has been found there, etc. At the end she was basically like "omg this is so convincing it makes so much sense but I don't want to believe it because i don't want to be an atheist":

If you want to look for recent evolutionary changes in humans just look at milk. Most Asians are lactose intolerant because they don't have the gene that produces Lactase. This is because when humans migrated to Europe, the fact that there was much less sun and more clouds naturally selected for a way to create more Vitamin D, the source being milk. The person that could digest milk was able to live longer due to a healthier diet, and thus went on to breed more.

Unless you have a source for this I feel like this is BS and that the reason for high lactose intolerance is due to some other factor.
I'm pretty sure the answer to low levels of sun was different skin colors: people in geographic areas with high sun levels have dark skin, to protect them from the harmfulness of the sun, but it places with low sun levels, people have light skin, to get as much of the sun as they can.

The pelvis is not a remnant of legs, silly.

The femur is a remnant of legs

When whales have love they need to thrust their pelvis. They can't do that without a pelvis. It is very obvious.

The pelvis is where the legs attach on a land dwelling animals
If whales were "intelligently designed" we'd see something else better suited to the purpose needed, but instead we find remnants from previous ancestors, because that's the easiest to adapt from

don't black people absorb less sun than white people do?
I kinda wanna know what races have what traits and things now

they can get sunburns like any other person, but their sun related tans arent noticible

Ok, but the femur is

Did you read the rest of my post?

there really shouldn't be 6 pages to this stupid video

From wikipedia:

"The frequency of lactose intolerance ranges from 5% in Northern European countries (England, Scotland, Ireland, Scandinavia, and Iceland) to 71% in Italy (Sicily) to more than 90% in some African and Asian countries.[6] This distribution is now thought to have been caused by recent natural selection favoring lactase-persistent individuals in cultures in which dairy products are available as a food source."


I know this doesn't mention the vitamin D thing, but it does mention the fact that their increased food source helped them.

Check my post again, I was editting it as you posted this

nah, what shocked me is that we arent at 20 or 50 pages yet, with mass bannings and stuff being thrown all over the place. surprisingly we're keeping our cool

im sure his post was just a little joke

I'm going to throw this out for like...the third time because I'm either ignored or get a stupid answer like, "Well...atheists don't have to know everything like you Christians do."

How do secular scientists explain where did the first mass came from?  If there was not a "First mass", then they must believe in eternity, right?

After all, "Mass cannot be created or destroyed." but no matter what viewpoint you look at (whether by logic or supernatural), mass obviously had to be created somewhere or else time is infinite (which is neither logical nor supernatural). If secular scientists don't have an answer, then a supernatural existence is the most reasonable assumption.

Dairy actually contains only trace amounts of vitamin D; the amount found in milk today is added. Go grab a bottle of milk and look at the ingredients

I wonder what it is in non-pasteurized milk.

we don't know everything as a species. if you want to assume something supernatural then go ahead

ignorance is bliss

i did not say that silly, i said "we don't know everything as a species. if you want to assume something supernatural then go ahead ignorance is bliss" did you read that wrong or did you not understand? what i mean is that we don't know everything. its okay to believe what you think is true, just dont go spreading it around

nobody knows everything

and i dont know much about the first matter stuff and i actually think the big bang is false, i think it happened in some other way

"Well...atheists don't have to know everything like you Christians do.

But that is the answer, stop being stupid and twisting the words to make it sound more condescending than it actually is
We can't pretend to know the answer to that, because we don't. It's that simple
But instead of just accepting the easiest answer we see, we strive to actually find a meaningful answer.

This is how society improves. Imagine if we just continued to accept "GOD DUN IT" as the answer to "Where does disease come from?"
We wouldn't have improved at all. We wouldn't have modern medicine. We'd be stricken with forgettons of disease just the same as we were hundreds of years ago.
But we didn't.  Instead, we manned up and said "we have absolutely no clue, let's go figure it out"
We ran into a few bumps along the way, and a few incorrect ideas, but eventually we found the answer, and we were able to greatly improve society because of it.
We couldn't have done that if we just said "God dun it, deal with it"

Also, "you don't know the answer, therefore god" is a piss-poor argument

Okay then what right do people have saying that Christianity is wrong when they don't even know themselves?

This makes no sense. You're saying that people with a different belief system couldn't have made improvements to the world we know today. God never said that people were supposed to remain primitive.

Also, "you don't know the answer, therefore god" is a piss-poor argument

Let me change that around for you.

"There is no God, therefore we don't know the answer."

Okay, makes much more sense.
