I get that you do not understand the science I write about and that the best you can do is to make up some personal attack in response. It isn't unexpected.And this is why I stopped reading your posts on other threads. You don't actually say anything most of the time.
Not in a million years. The evidence shows that this occurred over billions of years. It isn't magic. They didn't just poof into fish, birds and insects. The evidence exists. Denying it doesn't make it disappear.Does your knowledge of the natural world really tell you that over a million years a population of one cell creatures can become fish and birds and insects? That certainly seems like something that has no evidence outside of the claims of science. Your definition of magic.
Selection is not random. Show us it is random. You do understand the word selection right?Only it's not equivalent at all.
One is artificial and one is random.
There's too many other causes to allow natural selection to bring about the variety of life we see. Plus it doesn't explain human self consciousness.
You don't understand it and the comparison of artificial selection to natural selection is honest and valid.I don't. But comparing it to human intervention is dishonest.
No. Science is an investigative mechanism; a process. There's a technique to it; steps in a process. Magic is just effect without cause. The difference isn't quantitative, or temporal.It seems that the difference between science and magic is a question of time. If a population of animals changed in a very short time, it must be magic. But if the same changes took millions of years, then it was science. Science says all living things evolved from a single cell in some primordial swamp millions of years ago. That is what sounds like magic.
There is evidence. Without evidence no claim would be made. Somehow you're either unaware of the evidence or are consciously ignoring it.Does your knowledge of the natural world really tell you that over a million years a population of one cell creatures can become fish and birds and insects? That certainly seems like something that has no evidence outside of the claims of science. Your definition of magic.
If you don't understand it, how is it you're judging it dishonest? Selection leading to changes is a well known process. The process works the same way no matter who or what does the selection.I don't. But comparing it to human intervention is dishonest.
Logical? Show your work. Logic doesn't mean reason.Emotional?
No.
Logical?
Yes.
How many times do we have to point out that natural selection's not random? It selects.What other causes of life's variety are you talking about? Science would be interested.Only it's not equivalent at all.
One is artificial and one is random.
There's too many other causes to allow natural selection to bring about the variety of life we see. Plus it doesn't explain human self consciousness.
Yes, something does. Does anything in religion show that organisms pop into existence by magic?Well, I mean who's counting? A million here, a billion there. Does anything in nature show that a population of single cell animals can evolve into other animals?
Nor does science claim to. But the changes you acknowledge do accumulate, and, given time, can accumulate into whole different creatures from the prototype. Does this not seem reasonable? Do you not understand accumulation and its ramifications?You can certainly take a population of birds and put half in one environment and half in another environment. Over time they will adjust to there environment by growing longer beaks or something. Or you can taks a population of bears and put half in a warm environment and hald in a cold environment. Over time the ones in a col environment will grow heavier fur. If this is "evolution" then I am 100% in agreement with evolution. But science has never seen evidence that you can put dogs in two different environments and get cats.
But if there were no science to support it, it wouldn't be a theory, would it? A scientific theory is not guess work. You're ignorance of the underlying facts and processes doesn't change this.Or that one cell animals over a long time become complex animals.If this is "evolution" then it is just guess work with no science to support it. Or do you have solid evidence of it?
The evidence is right in front of you, in thousands of biology textbooks, journal articles, &c. Denying them doesn't make them go away. The mechanisms have been described and observed. You're denial doesn't change this.Seriously? But you think a bunch of single cell animals became fish and birds and every other type of animals. Where is the evidence? One day there were nothing but single cell animals and millions of years later there were other animals. So they must have evolved because no one can think of any other way. Is that proof?
Does your knowledge of the natural world really tell you that over a million years a population of one cell creatures can become fish and birds and insects?
That certainly seems like something that has no evidence outside of the claims of science.

Yes. Literally every time any living thing reproduces.Has anyone ever seen a one celled animal turn into any other animal?
Case in point.I get that you do not understand the science I write about and that the best you can do is to make up some personal attack in response. It isn't unexpected.
Evolution does not happen at random. Clearly you do not understand that and this is the best you can muster in response.
" It" doesn't exist.It selects.
" It" doesn't exist.
Yes, but let me first link you to the fact that all life forms evolve: Speciation - WikipediaDoes anything in nature show that a population of single cell animals can evolve into other animals?
Environments don't exist?" It" doesn't exist.
