It's also hilarious because right after that post you go on about mutations, heredity and survival of the fittest. How can any of that be true if hybrid species can't even pass on their heredity and therefor can't survive?
I know you're just trolling but still, at least try. God damn. | ||

How can it be a mutation if at least one of the parents has it? I also never said adaptation never occurred only that one species cannot become another entirely. There is a difference between adaptation and evolution. Organisms can adapt but they cannot evolve into something they aren't already.

http://www.pnas.org/content/109/5/1595 Life has attempted to minimize mutation rate through accurate DNA replication and DNA repair mechanisms, but accurately copying 3 billion bases at the required rate (once per cell division) is quite difficult. Human beings mutate at a rate of ~1.1 x10^-8 mutations per base per generation. Most of these mutations occur in noncoding regions which are more easily tolerated. Mutation is mostly neutral and occasionally deleterious to the individual. Rarely, however, mutations provide an adaptive advantage, and this benefits the population as a whole as environment and selective pressures change. | |||

The first of every living kind had to be created by God. This is backed by scientific facts. Again, I know you just like to pretend you know about science but please look into cell theory and the law of biogenesis. If cells can only come from pre-existing cells and at one point there were no cells, where did the first ones come from? | |||

"Organisms can adapt but they cannot evolve into something they aren't already."
Are dogs the same species as wolves? Is corn the same species as the maize we domesticated it from? They can't interbreed, and they're phenotypically distinct. Old species --> selection --> New species. Proof, undisputed by scientists. Even with humans hand-picking the 'winners', essentially providing the strongest selection pressure possible, these changes took hundreds of years to yield clearly distinct species and thousands to yield the incredible distinctions seen today. Asking us to show you a microorganism evolving into a bird overnight just plainly shows how close-minded you are to this subject. 50 years from now, Christians will just claim that while all life may have evolved from single celled organisms, God must have created the initial cell. 100 years from now they'll admit that single celled organisms could arise from a molecular self-replicator, but they'll deny that the first of such self-replicators could arise without the hand of God. After we demonstrate that, they'll claim that the individual molecular components of the first self-replicator could not have been chirally enriched without God's intervention. And so on and so forth until they're driven back to the big bang. They'll claim God initiated the universe and set everything in motion so that billions of years later we'd be here to worship him. I'm suggesting that religion's battle with science will lead them from denying modern biology to denying modern chemistry to denying modern physics. | ||

http://www.newscientist.com/blogs/sh...her-rna-e.html We'll get there eventually. No credible scientists deny it is possible. The law of biogenesis was relevant when we first began to understand the concept of the cell. It was developed by Louis Pasteur in 1865. It was hypothesized before we had the slightest understanding of molecular biology or understood any molecular basis for evolution. Yes, I am telling you that Chihuahua evolved from wolves. Scientific fact, look it up. | |||
