Why? Chimpanzees are not evolving?
You've had that answered at least a dozen times in just this thread. What's your point? Do you expect a new species every generation?

Why? Chimpanzees are not evolving?
That is an interesting thought and not one I had considered before. I wonder where that places tool use by other apes and that of elephants or even the mound building of termites?
Termites expressing hubris?
The idea may even have some relation to the Commandments. Especially the first one.
How about any generation, lol. Not enough time to observe? LolYou've had that answered at least a dozen times in just this thread. What's your point? Do you expect a new species every generation?

It is my perception after reading the accounts of retrieving fossils as well as surmises regarding their place in life's unfolding that (1) nothing is truly proved and (2) I have come to the belief that life simply did not, could not come about by chemical reaction, which now that I think about, was not "naturally selected." That btw, includes eucaryotes. Or the very sheer fact that no observation has been made that gorillas and snakes are evolving. Once again, viruses remain viruses. Gorillas remain gorillas. Etc. You want to say it's not true? (go ahead...)It's been observed in the fossil record as has been pointed out to you numerous times. If you don't believe it that's fine but why keep repeating the same thing over and over. Do you have a point or just trolling?

I don't expect chimpanzees to evolve to something other than chimpanzees ever. Language situation to the contrary, put more specifically, chimpanzees will always remain chimpanzees. Now unless you have information showing something more about chimpanzees, I'll leave the remainder up to you. (Your side... )You've had that answered at least a dozen times in just this thread.

So you know for sure do you that gorillas are evolving to another type of ape, do you? After these many conversations with supporters of the ToE, what you have done is actually show that it simply is not true. As purported. I was an honor student. I believed at the time that what I was told (taught) about evolution was true. I no longer do. Thanks for conversation.You are free to ignore the evidence, conflate evolution and abiogenesis, or endlessly repeat the same dribble.
It is surmised that life was somehow infused in simple forms and possibly by a cataclysmic event. I have decided it's a bunch of nonsense. Although scientific theory. As I read things like the following: Science | AAASYou are free to ignore the evidence, conflate evolution and abiogenesis, or endlessly repeat the same dribble.

I'd have to look it up. I'll do some research and get back to you.Do you accept that there was a geological epoch called the Miocene that began about 23 million years ago and ended about 5.3 million years ago, and that many species of apes lived during the Miocene epoch? Do you also accept that there were no chimpanzees during the Miocene epoch (no fossil chimpanzees have been found in Miocene rocks)? Do you also accept that modern chimpanzees are descended from ancestors that lived during the Miocene epoch? If so, what do you think these ancestors were?
You don't know what gorillas will evolve into. ! And you think they likely will go extinct because of poaching. But if they were to continue, you think they would evolve into something more than their present type form?? Sorry I know it's not nice to laugh sometimes but I am laughing a bit. My brain has evolved to laugh at what sometimes appears to me as stupid, silly, or ridiculous.I don't know what gorillas will evolve in to, most likely they will go extinct because of poaching and habitat destruction. Nobody can know what path evolution will take in the future but when fossils are discovered we can look back and observe what has happened.
Like I said feel free to believe whatever you want but hopefully you can at least stop repeating the same thing over and over.
@Astrophile I'm doing a little research on this and I'll get back to you. But anyway to sum up what I've read so far, with the time element and seas changing, floods, you think what, that chimpanzees evolved from?? Maybe I did not get that far in my reading what evolution believing scientists put together. This is not to say that I don't believe the earth is millions or billions of years old. I am speaking solely of the conjectures scientists put forth about emergence by natural selection of plants and animals.I'd have to look it up. I'll do some research and get back to you.

Yeah ok no evidence that chimpanzees or gorillas or humans are currently evolving. But then, humans just haven't been around that long noticing these things I suppose some would say. I'm going back in time...You've had that answered at least a dozen times in just this thread. What's your point? Do you expect a new species every generation?
Lol good one and as I continue examining that little detail of composition by natural selection, the picture gets clearer and clearer. (Also life somehow infused, induced, implanted by chemical reaction maybe of the natural selection kind, I turn further and further away from the ToE as law or solid foundation. But thanks again, your responses appreciated.) By the way I don't know all the answers. I am, however, appreciative of what I have learned.I can't predict the future but all the evidence shows that evolution is a continuing process. I have no reason to doubt that if they survive they will undergo evolutionary change.
No worries, I too appreciate a chuckle.
Apparently it hasn't evolved enough to stop repeating the same thing over and over.
now chuckling inside...No worries, I too appreciate a chuckle.
