Missing Link Found

Yes, I did, my friend. Yes I did.

Woo.

You said that mutations were most likely to occur. Yet you don't see humans creating new species.

Ok you shut up. We're creating new species all the time. For instance, take a look at male pattern baldness. Back when we lived outside in caves we were as furry as monkeys, but look at us today. We live in warm man made houses. Our genetics don't need the hair any more, and thus, we're going bald.

Eventually, everyone will probably be.

Mutations don't have to lead to a different species. If every human was genetically identical, we would be very susceptible to various diseases and conditions. But this is not the case. Every human is different from every other human, but we are not different species.

A new species is really a general thing. It's not like a gorilla stuffs out a human, just eventually one organism is classified as another after enough tiny changes.

[Swholli]

I've just always liked the baldness explanation. I mean if you think about it, it makes a lot of sense.

But then, the new species are still humans?

[Inv3rted]

What I believe Swholli meant to say was that we are changing as a species all of the time. These changes are not enough to make us into a radically different species. We are still homo sapiens (or homo sapiens sapiens, if you want to go with that other theory). 

[Swholli]

They're still humanoid. Homosapien. It's like how there are different species of Dog, but you still call them a dog, right? I mean you even see it in race. We have humans who adapted to their hot sunny environment and thus are darkened skinned, whereas the humans in Europe who had cloudy skies turned out pale and white. You see examples of mutation and evolution everyday.

Oh, now I understand it.

[Inv3rted]

Yay, this is turning into less of a debate and more into a discussion in which we give knowledge. At least I hope.

[Swholli]

Oh, now I understand it.

I'm not saying a God isn't possible, but don't rule out evolution, or the big bang for that matter. There is evidence.

The only thing anyone will never be able to prove is God. It defeats his purpose if he is.

Yay, this is turning into less of a debate and more into a discussion in which we give knowledge. At least I hope.

And that's how it always should be.

I just want to get somethings straight.  The Book Genesis was written before they had high tech telescopes and electron microscopes, if God told Moses how everything went excatly Moses would have no clue what was going on, so there was a more simpler version made. 

Also as far as the Bing Bang goes, you can beleive rather:
Something came from nothing.
or
Something came from Something thats always been there.

I could convince ppl against not only atheism, but polytheism.  Yet this topic is already hot enough.

Uh, neither of those.

No, the discussion is pretty much over. Feel free to convert me, and save my soul.

I could also say that something came from Bill.

Let's say you have an imaginary friend, his name is Bill.  You write a book, tell people that your imaginary friend wrote it, and disguise the evidence towards who really wrote it.  You've convinced a group of people that the beliefs stated within this book are true, and that spreading the beliefs of this book, will allow you to achieve something great.  But, you can only die to achieve that something, and Self Delete is not an option.

Somebody disproves your imaginary friend, by stating that he isn't there, and that there's no solid evidence proving him (the proof of which you do not have, is my disproof).  You use the book for your arguement.  Now, the situation is looked upon with extreme detail, and the research behind the book's writer is still unknown.  But, the book states that Bill had written the book(scientific paradox), so the people who have been convinced that this belief system exists, still follow it.

2000 years pass, and this belief system is now one of the major belief systems of the world.  But, Bill, has yet to be proven.

But he's far to stupid for anyone to really believe in...

[Swholli]

Well then damn, I'm convinced.

Praise Bill. And may Bill bless you.
