Basic elements are just that. Non living and thrown in a hot pool of acid rain will still remain non-living and unable to reproduce.
Unless you have evidence to prove otherwise?
I also know your type that badgers for math so I gave you the way to calculate odds and if you want to do math on...
The demand for resources is certainly going to play a role in whether our species survives but there again with intelligent use of resources and finding new resources maybe from other planet or yet undiscovered here on earth and through recycling and reducing what we use I believe we can extend...
I would have to agree and then it comes to who has the bigger gun, bomb, etc. and survival of the species goes down with each conflict.
It seems that evolution then may be self limiting as once we become able and willing to wipe out our own species for survival the pressure to evolve away from...
Other than natural selection and migration the other theoretical causes of evolution are all based on random odds. That is only further evidence against evolution through that process.
You misunderstood what I posted and the odds of the basic elements of an organism are non living and do not...
The question then is man's intelligence up to the task of surviving a significant threat or will we have time to evolve through natural selection and random mutations to survive that threat?
Has man's intelligence and ability to adapt halted or suppressed the need for physical evolution...
The question is a nonstarter only applies if you have very rigid thinking as to what constitutes evidence of evolution.
What is your definition of evolution?
Random mutation is the ultimate source of genetic variation. Natural selection by itself would not result in evolution.
Therefore, you must calculate the odd of a random mutation and the process of natural selection in any theory of evolution.
I gave the way those odds are calculated and if...
That may be true!
However it seems when the survival of a species is in danger that is when significant evolution changes happen probably through mating choices.
Since we have made life easier and safer for us as a species and there are so many of us there has been no real threat to our...
Well you are getting closer to what I was looking for but I am thinking that the threat to our survival as a species is what triggers significant evolution changes most likely through mating choices.
So what pressures will something like climate change put on humans that it would cause a...
I do not agree that the simple passing of of parent DNA to offspring is evolution. Unless that mating results in an off spring that has significantly different traits from the parents that in some way benefits the offspring to survive and thrive and is maintained in the next generation from that...
Bacterial resistance is not evidence of evolution:
"Evolutionists frequently point to the development of antibiotic resistance by bacteria as a demonstration of evolutionary change. However, molecular analysis of the genetic events that lead to antibiotic resistance do not support this common...
Bacterial resitance is not adequate to substantiate your position:
"Evolutionists frequently point to the development of antibiotic resistance by bacteria as a demonstration of evolutionary change. However, molecular analysis of the genetic events that lead to antibiotic resistance do not...
OK, and what evidence do you have of that?
We have DNA mutations occur in our populations all the time yet so far no mutation seems to produce a positive characteristic and instead results in negative results.
If that principle holds true why have we not seen a positive mutation that would...
Has man stopped evolving?
Other than being a little taller from a better diet and choosing taller mates what evolution is happening in modern man and if it has stopped why?
What do you think would start and/or stop the evolution of a species and what could restart that evolution in modern man?
The odds in favor - the ratio of the number of ways that an outcome can occur compared to how many ways it cannot occur.
Odds in favor = Number of successes: Number of failures
The odds against - the ratio of the number of ways that an outcome cannot occur compared to in how many ways it can...
