EVOLUTION, what a lie.

[tumbleweed41]

wait. So longer appendages than turn into wings, which are covered in feathers, and fly away?

The offspring of a creature that has a genetic propensity towards a longer appendage, for example, a longer neck, may have a better chance at survival by being able to reach the leaves on the trees that the others of its herd cannot.
Since it survives longer, and is healthier than the others in the herd, it breeds more often and more successfully.
Thus passing on the "Long neck gene" to its offspring.
After a few generations, the "Long Necked" offspring are the majority in the herd, as they are better able to survive. They are also better able to see predators from their greater height.

that would make scence. so in the end it is all about a birth which is differant than the rest.

 

[tumbleweed41]

which law is it that says somn like the state things tend to move from order to disorder? is that part of the second law of thermodynamics

Yes, in a closed system.
You should understand a Law of Physics before attempting to use it to refute a proven fact.

(Hint..Creationist and ID sites are full of pseudoscience and half truths)

Exactly, there is no radical change.
Random genetic changes are observed in all life forms. Even today.
A change that produces a positive result can be passed on to future generation, until the entire population carries that gene.

A poor genetic change is less likely to be passed on, and that gene either dies out or becomes a rarity in the species.

how come it isnt happening today? are we humans evolving?

Oh God, maybe we should start over. It is happening today, all around you. Yes, we're evolving, just very, very slowly.

 

[Autodidact]

ok. I just think that this goes against the second law of thermodynamics.

The second law of thermodynamics applies to closed systems, without an input of external energy. Now think really hard and see if you can figure out where earth is getting energy from.

Tell the truth. You know very little about biology or physics, am I right?

Every birth is different from the rest. If you have siblings, aren't each of you a little different?

shortfade2: Do you know what the Theory of Evolution says?

 

[rageoftyrael]

Want an indication of our evolution? Height. Simple as that. Our height has increased over time. I don't know the science behind it, but we have gotten taller as a species over the years. I'm sure someone in here can give us some reasons as to why height has increased? Thanks in advance!

Silly, Adam was 90 feet high.

Silly, Adam was 90 feet high.

So we descended from a tree...?

This begs many questions... :areyoucra

I have no idea.

Muhammd and 90 Feet Tall Adam: Three refutations in one treatise.
Modern Science has proven that the First Human(adam) was 60 cubits tall.! alhamdullia - Page 2 - Ummah.com - Muslim Forum

It's in some hadith somewhere, I don't know how many Muslims believe this though..

 

[fantome profane]

Silly, Adam was 90 feet high.

Here is the proof.

Seriously, I think the increase in human height has been the result of better nutrition and not a change in the genetic frequency. I might be wrong about this.

 

[painted wolf]

It is the result of nutrition... This is backed up by the fact that as obesity and poor nutrition spreads in America... our average height has shrunken.

The average American is no longer the tallest person on Earth... we have shrunk from just over 6ft. to 5'8... The incredible shrinking American.

Well, our primate ancestors descended from the trees before transmorgifying into homo-sapiens so by extension we descended from the trees as well, yeah?

Well... we both come from the earth.

Wow, who said anything about trees? People "back in the day" were taller and lived longer as per accounts of Prophetic lineage. So by extension; I’m sure that’d make sense to you as well, yeah?

Peace be upon you.

Lol I remember that picture.

As the article says.. it is a digitally enhanced photo.

p.s. un-fossilized bones don't last that long I'm sure.

Still though, you cannot prove that they never existed. So where's the proof? People on average are shown to be shrinking as PW mentioned, not growing! Basketball is gonna get a bruising! I don't think that means there aren't going to be any tall people anymore but ya'll get it right?!

Peace be upon you.

That's not what I said...

I said Americans are shrinking (due to poor nutrition).... many other people are growing taller thanks to better nutrition.
The Chinese for example are growing...
