There are evidences for marcoevolution.

A famous observation was with butterflies near a factory. Due to pollution, the trees near the manufacture became slowly black (they were white before). This caused white butterflies who used to hide from birds by camouflaging themselves on trees to became near extinct while the black butterflies population grew bigger.

Thats just not true, you simply have to change it.

For example, people born with certain genetic disorders, which are passed on to their children.

Also, haven't we observed species of single-celled organisms that can adapt to their environment, and when they reproduce, the offspring are significantly different? That one I'm not sure about, but I though I heard that a couple times.

You can take a step to the south, but that's just microwalking. You can even go to another city, but that's still just microwalking.

>There is no known observable process by which genetic information can be added to the genetic code of an organism.

And that's complete bullshit. This can happen in many types natural events, such as duplication/deletion of DNA fragments from a genome and corresponding mutations in said added code (which does produce random new information), or the insertion of genes by retroviruses sometimes across species and always changing genetic code.

Also, to be technical, science never proves anything. It does create reasonable hypotheses to account for observations of the environment, which are in turn supported by experimental evidence. But nothing is ever proven. If a source claims that something is "a proven scientific fact", especially for the sake of argument, it is guaranteed that the source has no actual knowledge of the scientific process, and is only expressing opinions.

Ok... i am a biologist.. the video is right i 1 thing: u can not add genetic info to the dna.. but u can modify it... modification is because the repeated and life necessary adaptations u do everyday. If you walk bare feet u will get horn skin.. this means ur body changes partially.. this Info is saved in your (DNA) as you give your genetic Info to ur childs small errors are made: u give the info of the horn skin to ur son.. and so on and so on... someday a far generation will hav mor hrned skin that other persons.
Darwing argumentation (and mine as well):
1. If all living beeing of a population would successfully reproduce the population would increase very fast
2. most of the population are stable in their number
3. there is not enough food for EVERYBODY of the population!! the space is limited and the temperature is not stable during the year (except in the Ecuador)
4.The individuals of a population are NEVER EXACTLY THE SAME!!!!! there are NO 2 OF THE SAME KIND !!! EVERYBODY IS DIFFERENT!!!
5. Those differences are given to future generation based on reprodiction.
SO: INFORMATION ON HOW TO Survive is given to other generations. only the strongest survive. they give their Genetic codes away to their children (the differences are due to small mistakes in copying the code) The old not necessary thing are "thrown away" the better and improved stay.. so u give ur improved DNA to ur children ( Improved due to replacement and adaption (not addition of chromosomes or any other bullshit said o the video)
They are mixing Giving away chromosomes and improving Dna(and giving that away)
So.. if u really belive a god created this world then u are a real redneck stupid piece of shit... dont be silly.. u think everything in the bible is right?? u really think there is a man watching everybodys move the whole time?? u really think moses SPLITTED the ocean?? such bullcrap?? people like you Creation freak belivers should be locked away!!!! u insult the humanity!!

Let me explain something to you, in two parts:

1. Assuming you're really, truly a religious person who believes there is such a thing as God: Your presence on 4chan is not credible. Why? Because 4chan is full of vice, and sin, and porn, and worse things; everything that is wrong and bad to you is HERE. You would not choose to be here; your being HERE is inimical to your very core, poison to your so-called soul. You are made UNCLEAN by being here.

2. Trolls post threads like this one hundreds of times per day all over 4chan. Your thread, even if genuine, is not distinguishable from a troll's.

Therefore: Regardless of whether you are a geniune believer in God or not, you are treated as a troll, not to be taken seriously. If genuine, your attempts at proselytizing and evangelizing fail completely, because you cannot distinguish yourself from the trolls.

And so: You have one logical course of action: Delete this thread now, exit 4chan never to return, and (if genuinely religious) seek out your local relgious leader, confess that you have been to this Awful Place, and make amends to your god (or whatever it is you people do). Then go hang out on websites for people like you.

If you're a troll: Religion trolling is SO Last Thursday; it's dated, it's boring, it's predictable; there is NO angle you can come up with that hasn't been done a thousand times by much more talented trolls than you are. So just don't do it. Find something more interesting, or better yet: more humorous, to troll about. You'll have more fun, and so will everyone else.

And one of those caniforms had two children, one of which was a canid and the other was an Arctoid. And that canid had a wolf, and the wolf was domesticated over hundreds of generations, and over many more bred into a labrador, and NOW you have a common dog.

The thing is that pure Darwinian theory does not hold water, when it comes to something like the irreducible complexity. Though I do not believe in the intelligent design, but the statement: "Every function can be explained through gradual change of previous states." While in the case of flagella this definition falls short. So we should modify Darwins theory that sporadic massive complex gains do happen and everything is not gradual.

close minded... lol. You're the one who believes in an omnipotent being with zero evidence to support his existence. Then you choose to argue about something which has loads of evidence to support it.

Ok. Thought experiment. Let's imagine for a second that God is real. To you, the only possible explanation for human life is that we had to be created by something else. That something else is God. Where did God come from? If God has simply "always been here", then why do you insist that we had to be created?

Also, assuming this God fellow is real, and that he created all life... This means that he also created disease, satan, and everything bad that plagues humanity. But how could this be possible if he is so perfect?

Just because we haven't figured out exactly how it happened doesn't necessarily mean it had to be caused by God.

by doing so, He created heaven for me. so i love Him and worship Him; not because i loved Him first, but because He loved me before He even created the world. in other words, i only love Him back, and that only by using His character, love, to show Him how i feel about being His.

if you end up in hell, you chose to be there; He did not make you to just chuck you into hell. it's your choice to be without Him, and He will respect your choice, to your eventual horror

he might have told you to live but thats only because you couldnt follow in his footsteps.
you always (christians and non christians) say he died for your sins.

thats your stupidity showing through, not only could you not follow his footsteps but you couldnt even realise you were the ones hurting him.

you say heaven and hell await but you couldnt tell the difference between the two.

>1) Did your god create hell.
Yes, for the devil and his angels who rebelled against Him in heaven

>2) Did your god create the criteria for who goes to hell and who doesn't.
Yes, all who believe go to heaven, all the rest get thrown into hell, the universal incinerator.

>3) Does anything happen that goes against your gods plan.
Yes; it is not His will that any should perish, but since most do, that is against His "plan"

>If yes then your god is responsible for who goes to hell.
If yes? do you mean If no? regardless, all who go to hell choose to go there; some by direct action, some by ignorance, and some by honest mistake. if you die in your sins, there is nothing left for you but a judgment you have earned, and an eternal reward, which you have also learned

not so, friend

in a strange, metaphysical way, yes, i was there. i was there with a cat-of-nine tails whip in my hand and the blood of God on the straps. i threw a punch at the back of His head and mocked Him, telling Him "who hit you? who hit you? who hit you? if you are God, tell us who hit you?" i put a purple robe on His shoulders and a crown of thorns on His head. i bore false witness against Him at His kangaroo court trials. i transported Him to another court, hoping they could convict Him of something. anything. i took Him before Pilate and asked the roman emporer to crucify Him. i rose the crowd's bloodlust against Him, yelling “free Barabbas!” i pushed Him as He bore His own cross. i was there with a hammer in one hand and a spike in the other. i raised that crossbar to the stanchion and fixed it in place. i put a sign mocking Him on His cross as the "king of the jews". i threw the dice to win His robe. i put vinegar on a sponge and pressed it to His thirsty lips. i went to break His legs but He was already dead. so i stabbed Him in His heart, which was broken, blood and water coming out separately. then i took Him and placed a guard around His tomb so His followers couldn't steal His body.

i did all those things.

here’s what He did. He loved me. He forgave me. He adopted me. He went to prepare a place for me in the Father’s mansion. He sent His Holy Spirit to comfort me. He inspired the scriptures to teach me, to encourage me.

He did all those things. that's what Jesus did for me. while yet a sinner, Christ died for me, so that through Him, i could live.

Still, without strict doctrinarian from youth, it's quite hard to accept your God (with the talking snake, turning rivers to blood and God killing everyone in a huge flood and such. Surely you would understand.)

It just seems... unfair to me... to punish someone with a fate worse than death, simply because he is not convinced, the words written in a 2000 year old book, questionably translated throughout the years with bits being changed, added and removed, where true.

Surely, an omniscient God would know that eventually, the Holy Word alone would not be able to convince people in the future. Surely, if He is all good and all knowing, He would eliminate that chance by providing more proof of his existence.

Also:

Me: "Who! What is this place?"
Jesus: "Heaven, bro!"
Me: "Amazing! There really is a heaven, who would have guessed!"
Jesus: "Eeh, I'm sorry, bro, but you can't come in."
Me: "...Why? I have been a good person!"
Jesus: "Yea, I know, but... you know... In life you didn't believe in me."
Me: "I believe in you know... I'm even talking to you, face to face!"
Jesus: "I'm sorry man, but that don't count!"
Me: "Can't I at least go back and tell others of this so they could go to heaven?"
Jesus: "Na, bro. Down you go!"

Yet, you believe for a FACT that God made everything by.... magic? saying a phrase? snapping his fingers?

Sorry, believing it came from nothing sounds more plausable.

Why? What evidence support your theory?

Well, the universe is expanding at an accelerating rate thus winning the battle against gravity. That implies that if you rewind time back far enough to when all matter was at the same point in space, and then go back 1 more second there would be nothing.

It's not proof. but it is evidence. Much more evidence than what you have to support the idea of your god

Omnipotence implies spatial and temporal omniscience and omnipresence, but not omniparticipance.

That was the extremely simplified version by the way... Since you obviously don't know much about any of the popular theories regarding the origins of the universe as we know it.

They can only see so much with their telescopes. How can they be sure that everything is expanding? Maybe the expansion is happening only in one localized region of the universe.

No. Where the hell did you get that idea from? Just because we can observe the universe expanding in all directions from earth does not imply we are at the center. How do you keep adding 1 and 1 and getting 3?
