Seun:ITS REALLY NICE MEETING AN HONEST ATHEIST. The truth is, as humans we can never be 100% (based on facts) sure of hw we came to be. Most of what we believe in is: FAITH(being sure of what we hope for, and certain of what we cant see). |

Re: Evolution: The 'evidence' Behind The Pictures by honeychild(f): 1:18pm On Dec 22, 2012 |
advocate666:No it is not uncertain. It is just that the technical details were not included so that said low I.Q people (who are by far the majority anyway) would be able to understand it. |

Logicboy03:And what made you think you are correct and how were you able to compaire all sizes of theirs and ours since human beings have different sizes at any paticular generation of study and considering the fact that whatever size of human being they had then, we have them now and whatever size we have now they had them then. And the sizes of our teeth are not the same. Whatever size they had then we have them now and vice versa |
Re: Evolution: The 'evidence' Behind The Pictures by advocate666: 1:39pm On Dec 22, 2012 |
honeychild: So you call 99.9% of all species that ever existed a "technical details"? Omnipotent god was incapable of giving you a brain to understand complicated things? He prefers to dumb you down with summaries. |

Logicboy03:Here is a random quote: Leakey believed that habilis was a direct human ancestor, with erectus out of the picture. While H. habilis is a generally accepted species, they (sic)opinion that it was a direct human ancestor seems to be in question. There are now at least two species of early Homo (whether habilis and rudolfensis or an undescribed species) living prior to 2.0 myr. In addition, H. erectus (which is almost universally accepted as a direct human ancestor) continues to be pushed further back into the paleontological record, making it possible that it is the first Homo ancestor of modern humans. Other problems include that [b]some people see KNM-ER 1813 as a near perfect erectus,[/b] except for its small brain and size. It could be an erectus that was at the small scale of a wide variation of traits, or it may belong to ergaster, which some believe to be the ancestor of erectus. The questions are far from solved, and new specimens are needed. Homo habilis may be a direct human ancestor, a dead-end side-branch that leads nowhere, an invalid species whose designated examples belong in other species, or Wolpoff may be right, and all these species are basically part of one highly variable widespread species. - http://archaeologyinfo.com/homo-habilis/ And you say evolution is not just made up of 'probables', 'perhaps', 'maybes' or 'could bes'. Not even one 'definitely'. And all this conjecture is based on one side of half of a skull. Hope you know that your 'complete Homo Habilis specimen' (KNM ER 1830) is just the right side of the upper part of a skull. The left side is completely crushed. There are no lower teeth. And from this the entire 'first human' is constructed. |

ijawkid:Human Beings evolved from apes over a period of millions of years just like the baby evolves to the toddler the child the teenager then adult and the TV evolved from old black and white models to colour TVs with remote control then then 40 inch flat screen TVs then High Definition TVs with home cinema speakers. The house you live in now evolved from a hut that our ancestors lived in less than 200 years ago. Would you really ask a dumb question like would your house evolve into a spaceship in a hundred years or whether your TV would evolve into silverbird cinema. Don't you realize how naive you sound? |

It's the tradition in science as well as in crime detection to make the most out of the tiniest bit of information. you may never get any more. If you wait until everybody sees the whole picture, Science would still be in the era of the pre medieval ages (where religionists want it to be, I am sure); how much time have you got to live? Intelligent people can't afford to wait for slow pokes! |

And the sizes of our teeth are not the same. Whatever size they had then we have them now and vice versa The human population is losing their wisdom teeth. We dont eat as much grass anymore. We have smaller jaws We look at the armours that medieval knights use and they are small. Keep in mind tht these were meant to be the alpha warriors of their time. even the armour of some eastern cultures are small. Even looking at the skeletons of peoples past, they are smaller. |

Agiliti: The last time I checked fifa could not tell that the nigerian boys who played the U-19 world cup were far over aged........... Most times as I have seen is that what ever scientists say becomes so perfect to some persons,especially atheist,simply because they never want to hear the word ""GOD"" |

honeychild: and how is that different from me? I choose to put my faith in the Bible's creation account because quite frankly it makes the most sense to me....but I am labeled 'ignorant'. You choose to put your faith in the 'educated' guesses of fallible humans and you are 'enlightened' and 'logical'.I didn't choose to put my faith in evolution. I chose to believe what makes the most sense and fits the available evidence, most accurately. On the issue of the origin of species, that happens to be evolution. If someone develops a theory that better explains the evidence tomorrow, we will switch to it immediately. Science is not dogmatic. Good scientists are committed only to the truth; they do not swear allegiance to evolution or any other theory. They are only committed to discovering the truths of the universe, as revealed by evidence and sound logic. turnstoner: An 'atheist' that agrees with the world view of Christians is not an atheist, he is confused!I don't agree with their worldview. I'm trying to make it clear that science is not merely a dogmatic worldview that happens to be different from the one they have chosen to believe. If there was a way to prove the existence of God or the truthfulness of Christianity beyond reasonable doubt, every scientist would believe in God. I think what we need religious people to do is not to accept evolution per se, but to cast aside unproven dogmas and approach the world with open minds and sound judgement. |

honeychild: See how dubious you are? what claims did I make about KM-ER 813? Why didnt you quote the comment? Furthermore, you are foolish to avoid the issue we are talking about; the distinction between the theory of evolution itself and the study of the fossils themselves. Here is my quote Logicboy03: Ignorance. I am sure you went to a creationist website. You would have to assume that that is the only Homo habilis fossil ever found |

advocate666:I seem to have read somewhere (correct me if I am wrong) that most humans do not use up to 1% of our brains. If this is true then: 1. My Omnipotent God gave me a brain capable of understanding complicated things. But knowing that as a lazy human who would probably prefer not to live up to my potential, I would be unwilling to task my brain, he dumbed it down for me so that no matter how intellectually lazy I got, I would at least have an idea as to how I came about. 2. A question for you that comes up is: if it's really true that we do not use up to 1% of our brains, how and why did homo-whatever (the one who first evolved the huge brain capacity) do so? I thought species evolved new capabilities based on necessity? What necessitated the invention of a huge brain that even now we do not fully utilize? |

Logicboy03:You know you have exercised rare self control till now.... I was wondering when the insults would come pouring out.... You have not disappointed me Anyway my quote above from the archeological website was just to show that evolution is not a science. It is full of 'maybes' 'perhaps' and 'probablys'. I was not aware we were discussing the distinction between the theory of evolution and the study of fossils. What I was discussing was how 'scientists' take a few fragments of bones and teeth and from there they deduce that the animal that left the fossil remains walked semi-upright, used tools, had a hairy face but no tail etc. And that was why I quoted the article showing that they are not even certain if KNM ER 1813 (which is just an incomplete part of a skull)is Homo habilis, Homo rudolfensis, Homo erectus or none of the above. But by all means if you want to show me how evolution has been [/b]scientifically proven[b] without the evidence of fossil records please feel free to do so. |

Logicboy03:Are you aware that working with DNA of ancient bone specimens is by no means an exact science? It is fraught with risks of misinterpretation. 'Although it is possible to recover mtDNA and occasionally even nuclear DNA sequences from well-preserved remains of organisms that are less than a few hundred thousand years old, determination of ancient hominid sequences is fraught with special difficulties and pitfalls. In addition to degradation and chemical damage to the DNA that can cause any ancient DNA to be irretrievable or misread, contamination of specimens, laboratory reagents and instruments with traces of DNA from modern humans must be avoided. - Green, et al., Nature, 16 November 2006, “Analysis of one million base pairs of Neanderthal DNA”, pages 330-336 |

Re: Evolution: The 'evidence' Behind The Pictures by Nobody: 3:26pm On Dec 22, 2012 |
honeychild: You were being dubious and willfully ignorant. I dont insult people unless it is necessary. All you were showing is that you are ignorant of the distinction between the theory of evolution and the study of the fossils. There is no doubt that we and chimpanzees split from a common ancestor. The fossils give a general picture of the history of evolution but not specifics because some are incomplete and also even when we have useful fossils, we discover new information or even new fossils. So, there is no doubt that we evolved from other animals or the timeline (from dating techniques) of human evolution from the fossils. |
Re: Evolution: The 'evidence' Behind The Pictures by honeychild(f): 3:34pm On Dec 22, 2012 |
turnstoner: And your above quotes are supposed to have convinced me that evolution is a science? I do not think I am that stupid. So because scientists have a tradition of making mountains out of molehills, I am now to believe that indeed the molehill I can see clearly is actually a mountain? True science gave us quantum physics, test-tube babies, cell phones etc. There is a huge difference between the scientific method and evolution. Charles Darwin postulated his hypothesis over a hundred years ago. At the time, he was fully confident that the fossil record would corroborate his hypothesis. Overzealous evolutionists jumped ahead, made it a theory and began to teach it as a fact [/b]before[b] they got any real fossil support. Now they are running around in circles trying to make the evidence fit their theory. That looks like putting the cart before the horse to me. |
