Humans are still evolving...

FDRC2014

WHY?
For those who understand evolution:

No we aren't going to grow an arm on our head.

Evolution is a change in allele frequency in the population.

Evolution is happening right now, in front of us.

Yes, why wouldn't we be still evolving?

We are evolving at this very second.

The interesting part is that natural selection pressures are changing in a new direction for possibly the first time ever.
Historically, genes for running fast or good at throwing spears would have been favoured by the female of our species. Imagine what they are looking for now days!

Hopefully for a beer gut and loud opinions. (Please Darwin, make it so!)

Of course humans are still evolving. Ever since we were created whole beings in one day by the creator 6,000 years ago we have been evolving. Both creationists and evolutionists accept that.

Ever since we were created

can you prove anything about said creation???

mainstream science says nothing was created with magic



one day by the creator 6,000 years ago

facepalm


. Both creationists and evolutionists accept that


double facepalm

most creationist do not buy the YEC thought pattern of primitive man

no such thing as a evolutionist and people that do believe in evolution DO NOT believe in YEC


I find you to be trolling and prostetylizing

Not that I disagree with your views on the matter, but reading Man of Faith's post, I got the impression that he was saying that creationists and "evolutionists" accept that humans are still evolving.

Even this is wrong because many creationists reject evolution entirely, so to say that both groups accept humans are still evolving is demonstrably false.

Whether he meant that creationists and evolutionists both accept Young Earth Creationism or the fact that humans are still evolving, it doesn't matter. Either way, he's still wrong lol.

understood. thank you

I find anything to do with YEC is best stopped in its tracks.

Time in and time out, we have explained everything to this gentleman in detail with patients and now he has a new made up philosphy that science or creationist do not follow.

Evolution has to do with an environment.It does account for originality.Human beings will continue to evolve in response to changes in the environment.

The OP described evolution as a change in allele frequency. I don't know of any creationists that don't accept that.

May be this is true but that doesn't explain macro-evolution between different classes and species. It 's a new combination of already present genes, yet no new genetic material is added.

What's beautiful, and amazing, is that for the first time an organism is not entirely limited by it's environment. We control it to a degree. I'm not referring to natural disasters or "weather" but that we are the masters of our environment, we shape it to be whatever we want it to be. We control evolution, as well. Not genetically, but intuitively. Birds took millions of years to learn the ability of flight(horrible phrase, forgive me) but it only took us thousands to build airplanes.

I just think evolution is going to be radically different with this species. Even fat guys can find girls because of things like personality, and kindness. There are very few reproductive pressures, as well as survival pressures.
