Why don’t we have a better story?

    How can an organism (whether the simplest form or extremely complex form) come into existence—first without the copying ability, and pick up the copying ability later on its way?

    It didn't.

    Your question is "not even wrong".

    Good grief - I have just read this thread. This ignorance has produced intense pain......

    I need to magic up one of those beers.

    Your too simplistic response (calling a too serious question as “wrong” and “ignorance”) validates my conviction. Thank you for that. I have originally heard this question from very eminent scientists themselves.

    Care to share who?
    Please educate yourself. I am not one to get into debates with those who argue just to prove a point. For your own sake, understand that much of what you write reads very uneducated with respect to the subject matter.
    It is impossible to argue an anti-evolution position without bias. That is where you need to start. Lose the bias first. Ask questions, read, ask more questions, read some more. No, not of us, whom you only seek to argue your bias with, but rather of yourself, honestly. If you are really intellectually honest, you will find your answers. There are no short cuts.

    The above is going to be my standard response for such type of ignorance in the future. Will be a copy and paste.

    Because the world is full of people and people ruin everything.

    I have no thoughts on a giraffes neck...frankly, I don't give a damn.

    iconoclastic4 hours agoYou all are explaining this with such an ease you would explain how giraffe got its long neck.

    That one is really easy. Millions of years ago there were ancestors of modern day giraffes that ate tree leaves, however their necks were shorter. A giraffe is born who has a gene mutation that causes it to have a longer neck. Because this gives it an advantage (access to more leaves others cannot reach) it is healthier and stronger and more likely to reproduce and pass on the beneficial DNA mutation. Any offspring of the taller neck giraffe with that mutation is also stronger and more likely to reproduce. Over time the short neck gene dies out and the tall neck gene dominates. This happens over and over until all giraffes have very long necks

    duction, a core-issue—as important as creation—the very process that ensured the next generation. So question is not that easy!!!!!

    I don't know what you mean by "copying ability" . All evolution is based on DNA. It started with simple one celled organisms and progressed from there. All organisms have DNA, so any changes are copied and passed down via DNA. Any genetic mutation to the DNA that results in an advantage to that organism in terms of survival and reproduction will tend to get passed down to the offspring. Any mutation that is not beneficial is not as likely since the organism will not survive or reproduce. Over millions of years and millions of genetic mutations the result is the world as we know it, with all the diversity of plants and animals.

    No you haven't. It is a meaningless question based on a false assumption.
    You have never read a single science book in your entire life have you?

    By resorting to labeling me, you admit that you don’t have the answer

    You don't have a coherent question.

    I answered your question and you ignored it. Why?

    Here it is again...


    In a step by step process of evolution by natural selection.

    What is the fundamental difference between male and female? Once you get that the rest is obvious.

    I will give you a clue - it has nothing at all to do with genitals.

    Fungi have 36 000 sexes.

    By the way it isn't "two separate genders". It's two separate sexes. Gender is better reserved for the context of linguistics.
