Is there a God?

I never even see the best argument against evolution; that copies deteriorate in quality.

Evolution would be like taking an image of a 420 million year old shark, producing a bunch of photocopies of that shark, throwing away the 'unfit' sharks and then producing a bunch of new photo copies from those sharks that didn't get discarded. Assuming an average generational gap of 5 years, this process should after 84 million iterations produce an image of almost every species of vertebrate currently living on earth.

I'll be honest, it doesn't sound feasible, and I say that as someone who actually believes in the process of evolution.

There are ancient artifacts that seems as if they are describing a process of genetically building a man-

I believe this is the reason (or at least one of them) that sexual reproduction developed, in order to weed such defects out of the gene pool.

its science fiction, you need facts to back up an idea like that.

You're not wrong.

Evolution laughs in the phase of the pragmatic rule that copies can only deteriorate in quality.

*but sticking to the example, one could argue that after 82,000,000 iterations of photocopying a shark and throwing away the unfit copies, the resulting picture of a human would be a pretty poor copy of a shark.

[rebeccablack]

maybe photocopies are just kind of a bad metaphor for sexual reproduction

[Jimjam]

yes - thats the point.

Evolution says photocopy a shark 80 million times to get a picture of a human.

[Jimjam]

Where did you get that picture of Rodcet Nife from?

I just did a search for 'reptilian Christ' on Google Images.
