Evolution couldn't be true

Right. Kind'a. By the way, those examples are presented in biological anthropology, amongst other ones, to show the difference between evolution and adaptation, so I'm not sure what you're getting at.

Evolution is really about change over time, not just speciation. Speciation is only one thing in evolutionary theory.

So what's your problem with the GULOP again? That's not an adaptation but a mutation through infection, as you probably know. And we share exactly the same with chimps. Which proves that we share ancestry since the only way to get exactly the same is to share genetic ancestors.

All living things share properties of life. All living things need water. This doesn't mean that we are related.

Evolution is a specie becoming into another specie. A cow becoming a whale. Adaptation is your avg heart rate reducing from 80 to 65 after 3 months of physical conditioning.
You know, since you took the classes, that Evolution is more than just speciation.

Basically, you don't believe there are mutations and natural selection, is that so?

Uh. But the GULOP is identical between humans and chimps. You know this. And you know why statistically this is such a strong argument, since you've taken the classes. So I'm not sure what your going for here.

I am in the business of mutations, that's what I do for a living.
As for natural selection, many people have different meanings on that, whats yours?

That's such a ridiculous oversimplification of the evidence for evolution, and you should know it. I seriously wonder why you don't. You said you took classes, yet you make such a statement?

Nope. Evolution is change over time. Change within a species is also evolution. Cows did not evolve from whales mate - that is Harry Potter, not evolution.


How can you expect people to believe your claims to have studied evolution when you think that science believes whales evolved from cows, and that changes within a species are not evolution?

But you're claiming that mutations don't exist, instead only adaptations are happening.

??? Seriously???

I'm not sure if you're for real or not...

Not to speak for him, but he can't possibly believe in them if he thinks an example of evolution is a cow becoming a whale.
Well, evolution does explain that step too by many steps of mutations and selections. He knows this, and he should also know that we do have fossils for many of these intermediate forms between cow and whale, also we have genetic markers to show for it. His oversimplification of the evidence and what evolution is make me distrust what he's saying.

Answer the question then we can move on from there.
I can't because I can't take you seriously anymore.

Actually, I think you're not being honest about things too. Based on several things you've said now, especially the last couple of minutes.

Sorry bud, but I have no time for your kind. I'm putting you on ignore.

Bye bye! *waves*

Well, yeah, he seems nothing but dishonest. That's why I've been making a mockery of this thread, but I'm done with it now.
Totally agree.

There's a bunch of telltale signs that he's not being honest, so I put him on ignore. I rather use my time talking to reasonable people.

The commentator was trying to discredit me by using this example (cow to whale) but it is a widely accepted "fact" in the athiest world.

This is your opinion and you're obliged to it.

Exactly! We have construed the difference between Adaptation and Evolution. Adaptation for example is when you lift weights or live on a mountain, you will be able to grow stronger muscles and build. Evolution on the other hand is a specie completely becoming into another specie.
And you claim to have studied evolution.
"I have taken many evolution courses from human paleontology to evolution of primates."
As someone one said about your studies.
Then you must have fallen asleep in all the classes. My condolences for your waste of time and money.

That is your opinion and your entitled to it.
