Plenty of scientifically uneducated people don’t believe in evolution. A few people who should know better (e.g. William Dembsky or Michael Behe) also contest it, but they do it because they have an agenda.Metalmurphy said:He didnt believe in evolution? How can u not believe that? Aren't we evolving everyday...

A Christian fundamentalist agenda.D.D. said:whats an "agenda" that these ppl have?
No ofense, but you stand among the scientifically uneducated. Have you ever read a textbook on evolutionary biology, or even a popular science work (like Richard Dawkin's The Blind Watchmaker: Why the Evidence of Evolution Reveals a Universe Without Design )?Aided Onslaught said:I don't believe in evolution...nor do I care if there is a god or not...so where do I stand? haha, I also don't care how many times a T rex has sex.... :lol:
As I've said before, you're scientifically uneducated. Evolution does not operate within historical time scales, that's pretty obvious. Even geological time is too quick for it. Evolution operates over millions of years (e.g. **** sapiens sapiens took about 2 million years to evolve out our primate ancestors). There's solid evidence from fossils showing this (see The Ancestor's Tale: A Pilgrimage to the Dawn of Evolution ).Aided Onslaught said:With in recorded history can anyone tell us how we've changed?
You missed the point of the article entirely, although I should have expressed myself more clearly. Showing that dinosaurs had medullary bones is another piece of evidence for evolution, since only birds have medullary bones (thus adding evidence to the hypothesis that birds evolved out of dinosaurs).XxCrashxX said:I dont see how proving that a dinosaur had a penis or that it procreated disproves or proves that evolution exists
If there was no way to disprove evolution, it wouldn't be a scientific theory. There're plenty of ways to disprove evolution, but it has passed all tests thus far. See 29 Evidences for Macroevolution .XxCrashxX said:There is also no way that you can prove or disprove the existence of a god or evolution(not the fact that we are evolving but that we came from sludge, microbes etc)
Don't try to compare sexual reproduction to natural selection. It's a completely different thing (BTW, you can have two short parents and a tall child. Population genetics for quantitative characteristics is quite complicated.)Aided Onslaught said:XxCrashxX took my thoughs perfectly, when I did believe god that's how I felt and still do...people will change form here and there. I mean when two short people get togher don't expect their child to be tall because lowes made the new standart of door height, 2 feet taller...
Then you’re willingly putting yourself among the scientifically uneducated. In this case I’ve nothing more to say.Aided Onslaught said:No you missed my point though, I don't care. Why should I wonder how we got here, when I just want to know to to get there *points*. and I'm not going to read a book to define my believe in something, I don't care if it's about evolution or god, I have no reason to care about it.
