That picture is strawmanning nonsense, you don’t honestly expect anyone to argue against it do you?

Evolution is observable, creation is not. Simple.

>(((K. Popper)))

>hurrrrr just because two organisms mate and their offspring looks like they did and their offspring is composed of DNA from both parents (or one parent if binary fission) and there are differences in the sequences of different sperm and eggs due to mutation and those mutations that confer fitness to the organism tend to stay in the population and different groups of the population can be separated and undergo this mating, mutation, and fitness selection over hundreds of generations to the point that the different groups of populations can no longer mate and produce genetically viable offspring and we have DNA from hundred of organisms sequenced to the point where we can track lineages for the majority of genes and genetic motifs doesn't mean that something as preposterous as "evolution" exists.

so IQ isnt a trait that help survival? What is then amerifattness? Is amerifattness the next evolutionary step that helps survival?

You are misinterpreting results then (they did deliberatly) - bacterias had that ability from the start, it was jsut nat actualized until selected for just like lactose tolerance in humans.

Nordics didnt evolved into high lactose tolerance, you just died if you didnt had one - Nordics had high lactose tolerance from begining.

but it does, which is all that matters for evolution. thank you for conceding defeat.

>IQ isnt a trait that helps survival?
If the government is effectively making it so that no one has to think to themselves to survive, no. The low IQ people might not be traditionally successful in society, but that doesn't mean they can't reproduce (which they do in droves).

Creationism is a straw man created by modernists do destroy the believe in god and divert attention from the first cause.

>PS-(cross species )evolution was never observed, only natural selection.
Ah yes obviously it makes more sense to believe that all species were created just as they are all at once. It's just a coincidence that they're very obviously all related genetically and made to they fit nicely on phylogenetic trees.

Trying to come up with the odds of an event like abiogenesis or the odds of modern Man evolving is a completely meaningless exercise because it requires the kind of perspective and experience with on the universe that humans don't currently have.

Demon possession? What?

every scientific theory functions in a way it can be disproven if certain facts or theory come out.
Meanwhile, evolution, while being the current paradigm, seems entirely unfalsifiable (Poppers prerequisite for scientific theory). like the test for real witch - If she dies she is probably a witch, if she survives she isnt.

Example 1: if it survives its more adapted (ergo superior), if it doesnt its less adapted (ergo inferior). That kind of logic should also apply to human races so if whitey dies, he actually wasnt the masterrace, if he survives he actually is. This is mythology and circular reasoning, not scientific reasoning.

Example 2: "useless human body parts". Appendix and wisdom teeth are considered an evolutionary relic...until few years ago when appendix was discovered to be very usefull for keeping gut bacteria. Wisdom teeth? Idk I still have them.

Yes, it does, and the average life expectancy has increased dramatically because of advances in medicine. This means that, on average, people who would have died from not caring for themselves are not dying.

It predicts that different organisms will be related to other organisms to varying degrees based on time since divergence. Genetic and morphological evidence supports this claim time and time again.

>A conclusion that two (or more) genes or proteins are homologous is a conjecture, not an experimental fact. We would be able to know for a fact that genes are homologous only if we could directly explore their common ancestor and all intermediate forms. Since there is no fossil record of these extinct forms, a decision on homology between genes has to be made on the basis of the similarity between them, the only observable variable that can be expressed numerically and correlated with probability.

Reminder that evolution cannot be proven because you need billions of intermediary forms and their blood samples in order to show a common descent.

In other words, scientifically speaking evolution is based on conjectures and assumptions.

*tips crucifix*

>They will argue that the changes take too long to be observable and must deduced from fossils.

or they will equate natural selection with evolution. Semantic manipulation is a big part of their argument (e.g. historiosophy).

natural selection=/=evolution

natural selection and mutation is a NECESSERY but not SUFFICIENT proof for evolution

e.g. "John is a bachelor", it is necessary that it be also true that he is
1) unmarried,
2 )male,
3) adult

if you have all 3 you have SUFFICIENT proof. but it doenst go the other way ie. if you know an unmmarried person, that doesnt mean he is a bachleor (he might be divorced or a kid)

e.g. II "Evolution exists" it is necessary that it be also true that
1) natural selection/microevolution -100% proof
2) old Earth - "proved" but a huge jump to conclussion since you cant prove that conditions of uranium emmissions were constant during 4.5. bill
3) CROSS SPECIES mutation/macroevolution - NEVER DEMONSTRATED

so just porving "microevolution" isnt SUFFICIENT proof.

>CROSS SPECIES mutation
Do you mean speciation?

>What if government decided to off all healthy people? Would you call all un-healthy people evolutionary adapted?
Uh... no? That would be a completely arbitrary elimination of a certain trait. Maybe I misunderstand the question or you're going somewhere else with this.

>2) old Earth - "proved" but a huge jump to conclussion since you cant prove that conditions of uranium emmissions were constant during 4.5. bill
>"proved"
Guessing that's in quotes to highlight the fact that it's done with quasi science guesswork, otherwise you're losing me.

>IT CANNOT BE DISPROVEN

When you ask fedoras for evidence (let's say how bacteria would turn into a mouse or a fish) they can't prove how this transformation would be conducted.

If you can't show all the intermediary steps from bacteria to fish I'd say that evolution pretty much is disproven. Also they can't provide the gene sequence changes and reproduce them (if evolution is real they should be able to force bacteria to mutate into a fish in a laboratory environment with ease).

>When you ask fedoras for evidence (let's say how bacteria would turn into a mouse or a fish) they can't prove how this transformation would be conducted.

I cant disrpove evolution.
They cant disprove their own evolutionary demon obsession.

Both dont belong in realm of hypothesis testing.

Evolution is an obvious a priori consequence of heredity coupled with selection. Both of which are falsifiable.

>Guessing that's in quotes to highlight the fact that it's done with quasi science guesswork, otherwise you're losing me.

yes, they basically ASSUMED that within 5 billion of years uranium emissions stayed constant (based on the fact that they are more or less constant NOW). That is how they make conclussion about 5 billion years, no joke.

>its a total meme
I took a paleontology course in college, and I was amazed at how thoroughly scientists understand ancient life thanks to careful study of the fossil record. You're just an armchair intellectual. If you actually cared about the validity of your critiques, you would study up on paleontology.
>to prove scientific nature of evolution you have to make forward predictions
That's absolutely false. To prove evolution, all that is required is evidence of natural selection over enough time that significant but quantifiable changes between organisms and their offspring can be observed.

>yep, which I tried pointing out to you since you were arbitrary dismissing high IQ based on current social context.
A sudden and drastic elimination of a certain trait is different than an environment being created in which a new trait gradually emerges or a former trait eventually ceases to emerge.

OP is an uneducated non scientist faggot

That image is so retarded. First of all, that would take hundreds of thousands of years. Secondly, toes are important for maintaining balance. You're a literal retard

Evolution is real.

Well this is for a multitude of reason.
1. Our standards of health and nutrition are going down.
2. We are subsiding the poor and stupid to breed through welfare.
3. We're importing million of room-temperature IQ non-whites.

>mutations that persist through generations and remain in the population aren't evolution
what

technically no, its not

You're a fucking retard. Any change in allele frequency between generations is by definition evolution.

Isn't science merely a byproduct of GOD? If you trust in science, do you not by default believe in a GOD? Science is merely bending words to your will. A GOD gave meaning to those words. Science does not exist outside of a universe without GOD. If it did GOD could not be in this sentence. Why would science create GOD if GOD did not exist? Think about it.

thats not an observation, but a tautology

This is weak bait. Only newfags start ranting from their biology 101 text with wiki links.

Yes, that is what I said. So, because there are on average four extra wisdom teeth in most people that come out of the gums at all four ends of your two rows of teeth (top left, bottom left, top right, bottom right), so if one or more of the normal adult teeth is missing, all of the teeth slowly move inward to fill the gap, with a new wisdom teeth at the end of the teeth.

Where does random come in to play here? Why does the number of teeth even matter? All that is important is that missing teeth are replaced via this mechanism.

its not "extra" if you loose one as you claim its there for a purpouse, just like brain cells developing in puberty are not "extra". Conditions you were raised as a child dictate will your developement is optimal or suboptimal to fully develop your body.

I don't know what that is, but if you're going to conclude it evolved from something else, you must both 1. show evidence of the specific things (links) it evolved from and then 2. be ready to explain how that is possible. Just one criterion or the other is not enough to make a reasoned conclusion for evolution.

>But with evolutionary semantics you cant define "optimal healthy" everyhing can be a next evolutionary step, evo relic or a disadvantageous mutation (claimed post-hoc as with every mythology offcourse)
I am explaining something we have observed. You could easily test my explanation by seeing if ancient human skulls had wisdom teeth come through without problems and missing teeth that have been filled in. I made a prediction, now we can test it. What is the problem??

why dont you say the same things about hands? You have one hand, but one is extra, same with wisdom teeths...

>nipples

this is what happens when you allow christcucks onto anything. They just ruin it.

Gene duplication is a well known way to go from something that has no purpose whatsoever to something that has a purpose. Is this what you mean by "wrong mutation"?

That's not provable. Saying "mutation" is a desperate grasping of straws. To make declarative statements, you need evidence. A theory that has too many counterexamples against it is proven to be false, such as evolutionary theory. You cannot run with a consistently-disproved hypothesis, unless you are a fool or have an agenda.

Hands come from a bisymmetrical body plan. There are two of them just as there are two of many body parts because it is easier to take something and duplicate it than to make a whole new thing. You have wisdom teeth on both sides..... I seriously don't understand what you're even confused about.
