The Earth stands on the brink of its sixth mass extinction and the fault is ours

Whenever you have a bunch of laymen arguing about the validity of evolution, it almost invariably involves the failure of one side to grasp the scale of time that evolution actually occurs in. It's just like Louis CK jokes; people that argue against evolution usually sound really stupid: "My daddy ain't a monkey!" "When has a species ever turned into another species?!"

But given that most of the time these people are creationists - people who don't know anything - it always comes as no surprise when this tired line repeatedly gets taken up.

Astrology actually is legitimate. I studied it pretty thoroughly and knew a lot about the fire signs(Ares, Leo, Sagittarius) being a Sagittarius myself. The personality profile of astrology is so accurate that as a professional poker player I'm literally able to spot anyone that is one of these signs sitting at a poker table with extreme accuracy. Sometimes I can do it within minutes and other times within just a few hours of interacting with people I've never met before. Since I know a lot more about Sagittarius than other signs, I've been able to call out within a day of the person's exact birthday on multiple occasions which has truly freaked some people out. If astrology weren't true, than I highly fucking doubt that this would be possible.

Regardless, alchemy is actually legitimate as well. Any idea how gun powder was invented? Through alchemy you dumb fuck. Lots of things are thanks to alchemy. The invention of steel? Alchemy. Glass? Alchemy. You're a fucking retard.

I don't know what that is. Please explain in detail.

It's rather simple. You only eat and drink things that are alkaline(have a PH above 7.0). Lots of foods are alkaline including but not limited to, broccoli, cucumbers, lettuce, almonds, lemons, beats, garlic(especially garlic which btw is the most powerful anticancer food known to exist), etc.

Please provide links to relevant articles, or STFU.

Do some research on Dr Otto Heinrich Warburg who won not one but two Nobel prizes on the subject of cancer. He discovered that all cancers are due to acidity in the body and that cancer cells are inherently acidic in nature and produce energy through anaerobic respiration. He discovered that cancer cells cannot live in an oxygen rich/alkaline environment. Therefor alkalize the body, cure the cancer. Guaranteed.

My rip wasnt so much on astrology as the logical fallacies you use

Someone has been right once, therefore he is right every time

That's not a cure, you idiot. It's a preventative measure.

Ahhh, I see what you're doing. You're moving beyond the possibility of hex gene mutation - which yes, I know to be true - to any observed mutations that have been beneficial. The answer is no. But that's another can of worms, wouldn't you agree? Because it would be hard to argue that all mutations are detrimental. I don't see that as where you're going because it's a dead end.

The point I was making was that macroevolution has been observed in a laboratory setting. That those experiments produced efficient/beneficial change aren't even part of the same argument.

That's more of a deflection than an answer. Not all mutations are necessarily detrimental, no. However, specifically on the subject of hex mutations, which you pointed to for evolutionary evidence, there seems to be an absence of evidence for beneficial mutations and an abundance of evidence for harmful mutations. That's really what I was getting at.
I'm not sure how you're saying that macro evolution has been observed in a lab setting. Please elaborate.

It's like an alchemy experiment right here, this thread is "evolving" into gold!!

Can't wait to see what genetic defects can culminate in this thread. Maybe an entire new species of stupid can be "created"!

I'd like to know more about the diversity of species we see now after the Permian-Triassic mass extinction wiped out over 90% of species?

What is a species?

Evolution of Multicellularity

This is macroevolution ABOVE the level of species. There are other examples in nature outside of the laboratory.

That's not macroevolution you dumb piece of shit. It's still the same fucking bacteria you dumb delusional waste of life.

Stop being purposefully obtuse. Wasn't talking to you.

And before Glen gets to this...yes I know that example has nothing to do with Hox. That is just one engine for macroevolution. There's still the train to think of.
