For the vocal minority in the US, politics is like sports. If you watch a sport you will often see fans of one team booing the ref for making call X against their team, and cheering the ref for making call X against the opposing team. Even though X is identical in both cases. They just support their team.
So now that there is an anti-science politician in the white house, they are obviously going to just support their team. The exact same thing would have happened if the situation were reverse, and some flamboyant tranny got into the white house; dogmatic leftists would go hard retarded as well, in support of their team

Nature fucked around with big birds then dropped them or made them smol. There is no plan, if it works out it sticks around. Our race is probably the most resilient but our brains and culture is so randomly destructive that one can't even.
Questioning evolution as a whole is one of the most retarded flaws. Do you question gravity too? We should ask ourselves whether a particular evolutionary mechanism is modeled right just the same that we need to discuss GR and QG but don't mudd the water with hur durr evolution=ape.

We have guesses, but since we have no way of actually checking the exact conditions of the past no one can ever do anything more than guess.

> Why did collections of particles start self replicating?
Thats just how some organic chemicals work. In order to become a more stable structure they form chains, and when the chains get too long or other chemicals react with it the chains break. This becomes more and more complicated until RNA and eventually DNA strands are made.

How come we have never observed this ourselves? We have only seen life come from something else that is also life.

Becuase the conditions aren't right, and even the most simple organism alive is the result of billions of years of trial and error. We can produce pseudo-living unicellular organisms by mixing enough organic material and striking it with electricity every few seconds. Given enough time, this would develop into viruses and maybe even bacteria. But this is in our optimal conditions, knowing what makes what from the start. But, since the exact condition is unknown, you can't prove anything.

Get the fuck outta here with your mystic woo woo bullshit. Go shove a crystal up your ass to faith-heal all that butthurt. Take your sock-puppets setting up soft-pitches with you.

Evolution is real and explains all life on Earth.

1) There is variance among populations.
2) This variance comes from mutation and DNA crossover between parents.
3) Some varieties succeed where others fail. Downs kids are fucked up and would die.
4) The varieties that succeed and make more kids are selected and directed towards having traits that succeed.
5) We can map out the path that evolution built up these changes in the species and across species.
6) This process is sufficient for explaining how all life on earth is related and descended from a common ancestor.

Science is real. Fuck off back to your church.

Abiogenesis
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abiogenesis

Lipids naturally form cells. They group together and are hydrophobic, so they form little bubbles. Amino acids bump into each strands of RNA which will, when impacting other things, leave an imprint, which other amino acids will fill and form copies of the original RNA.

Now that you have things making copies of themselves some do better than others. BOOM. Evolution kicks in and the next set of copies have an oh-so-slightly-better chance of making copies. And away it goes.

>Why did collections of particles start self replicating?
Because that's how chemistry works.

>How come we have never observed this ourselves?
Because we don't want to wait millions of years for the process to get lucky, and any repeat events wouldn't survive modern ecology. Our tree of life was the first to market.

You are so full of shit.

We can see pandas developing a new thumb.
With the genomes mapped, we can specifically trace what changes occurred through the tree of life and point out exactly what happened between macroevolutions.

There is evolution of "darkfly". Literal new features are evolved over the decades long experiment, by putting regular flies in a dark environment and letting them evolve over decades.
We could just as easily produce a new species by selecting some short-lived organism, and then selecting for reproductive traits. Eventually the original organisms cant breed with the new organisms, which is the definition of species
