There is also: Bacteria make major evolutionary shift in the lab for those people who aren't convinced by the geologic record.

Evolution through natural selection has been observed in scientific settings.

Another interesting thing about Lenski's study is that the evolutionary path was the same taken over different samples that had no contact. If I remember correctly. Showing - there is a tendency for evolution to follow a specific path given the same environmental variables. It is not really random chance. Initially biologists thought that mutations were completely random. Lenski's experiments did not reinforce this theory.

This further reinforces the theory that if there were two identical earths. Species would all have morphologically similar traits on both earths. At the same rate of evolution. Further reinforcing that if there were other earth like planets. The likely hood of intelligent hominid life that has similar senses and communication methods is increased.

Actually, I was looking for intellectual replies, as opposed to the kinds of replies I was getting from your so called "conspiritard circle jerk," and no that was not my only response, just goes to show how you start typing a reply soon as you see a few keywords - without reading the rest.

Every time you make a post, it's pretty obvious you don't bother reading, you're just lazy, or you have the reading comprehension of a 3rd grader.

That about sums up my reasons for placing trolls on ignore, take it however you want it.

or they did read and weren't convinced and offered counter evidence that generated a more solid argument for their point.

not to mention these controlling reptiles have gone from coming from the orion system to evolving on planet earth. your troll is tired.

macroevolution, which is what we're really talking about when we have an evolution debate, has not been observed (well, maybe I'll give you ligers and such, although you could argue its still a tigris breed). But bacteria turning into more bacteria is not proof of anything, nor is the magnitude of gaps in the fossil record. It's the most speculative field of science outside of genesis and abiogenesis. If you actually do have concrete evidence I'm sure you would win a Nobel prize.

At any rate, the world is run by people who they themselves believe they are reptiles. It doesn't matter if they are or not, because either way is bad news. The hidden cults and secret societies of the elite, if you delve into the subject matter, are fascinating and scary.

See, now that's more like it! These are the kind of posts I want to see in this thread!

Yet - I would like to bring up again. The interesting part of the bacterial experiments were that the changes were not random. This has huge implications.

One would expect the bacteria to fairly randomly mutate into failed strains or successful strains or strains that did something entirely else.

This didn't happen. It's like in most cases (I think it was far over 70% of the time) the bacteria changed to adapt vs die. This was more than simple natural selection taking place as well as described by the article.

So all the bacteria reacted the same way? Almost like that's the way they were designed to react?
