If evolution is true ? (page 2)

Fredhall

Adam,

You can sit there and fart all you want to. But, if you want to believe that our fore parents was carrying their own crap the go ahead.

Applied to the cosmos, this is a well-known paradox. If the universe is infinite and has existed for infinite time, then there should be no black spots in the sky; the whole sky should be filled with light from stars, some near but most far. Obviously, though, our night sky is dark. So the universe has not existed for infinite time. And therefore, neither has life.

Fred,
I don't exactly know what farting has to do with the discussion. Perhaps if you had a better handle on the English language and were a little (no, make that a lot) more articulate I would be able to understand what you are trying to say. Also, I did not say that I believe in evolution. (I think that's what you were trying to refer to in your "crap" comment) I was simply throwing an idea out there and pointing out that it is truly the mark of a brainless twit to discount theories and ideas because of emotion instead of weighing the arguments for and against them.

Evolution is all around us.Creation dosen`t just happen.There are always steps that must happen in order to create.A full grown tree do`s not just pop up.It starts out as a seed,then it becomes a sprout,then a sapling,then a small tree ect..ect..How about people,they start out as sperm,grow to an embreo,then fetus,then infant,toddler,pre schooler,school age,teenager young adult ect..ect..There is nothing in life that do`s not go through evolution.Who has the right to say how god should create?

There is a distinct difference between saying that the universe has always existed and matter has always existed. What we do understand id that the theory of the Big Bang has the most support given facts in evidence. What we are not sure of is if we have an expanding or oscillating universe.

If expanding, then from the moment of the Big Bang, we are about 20 Billion years into evolution. Not enough time elapsed yet to see what will come.

If Oscillating, then we have yet to reach the limit before the universe collapses back and ends all life, only to begin again. If the Oscillating theory is true, then there could have been many universes prior to us with life equal to or more greatly advanced, and we are just another development in the endless cycle of expansion and contraction. - Amazing

in 300 years or so, the majority of the population of Africa could be immune to AIDS. Such is the beauty/horror of evolution. Evolutions needs death and usually pretty nastys deaths to work. Death is the tool by which the errors are stamped out and only the prime cuts get to pass on genes.

Jan,

If matter didn't always exsist where did it come from?

If someone lived a trillion X longer than you, and had a billion X more reasoning ability would he come to the same conclusions as you?

IF evolution is true? What more do you need to see that it is? Isn't the fact that over millions of years you can literally see one species EVOLVING into other species enough to settle this question? Debating evolution's existence is like debating if the world is round or not.

D,

The question of where matter came from has nothing to do with Evolution. But to answer your question, matter came from a singularity around 15 or so Billion years ago. That's about all we know. One question I've wondered is why there is something instead of nothing? We'll probably never know.
