evolution goes on every second but takes geoligical time to become visible for un aided human senses to perceive it.

and no, there is no designer here. what you call design actually emerged as a result of nature weeding out imperfect versions and improving on those that are best fitted to survive.

designers go back to the drawing board when they see an error that would affect the functionality of their 'design'. when you look around nature, you will see a whole lot if imperfections. but your god is toi arrogant, it cannot admit errors and go back to the drawing board.

I admire your resilience trying to educate some slowp*kes on here. How do you expect them to understand geological time when they believe the earth is only 6,000 years old. I am a geologist and christian (which is where we do not share same belief) myself but I do not swallow everything in the bible hook, line and sinker because it has some rather contradictory passages. Safe to say I am christian because I believe there is a superior being that created the world using techniques/pattern that is uncovered as scientific discovery (we do not have to agree on this).

Some of the ignorance I have observed from the first page of this thread is baffling. There are so many things happening in this world that so many so-called christians wouldn't believe cos they just won't read other texts aside the bibe. Like for instance, new Earth is forming every day from sea-floor spreading but it is not very obvious becuase it's all in geological time.
I wish people would just read instead of portraying a special kind of stupidity.

As in, guys let's reason this together

How is it possible that the Bible was translated from Aramiac and like that to several languages before English without human modifications, errors and exaggerations.

How is it possible that it's a complete book and all parts were gotten and translated in a time when it was almost impossible traveling to several parts of the earth or say no known means or tech to preserve it in its original form like we have the internet today

Bacteriologist:


Kindly point to me in the evolution theory where it said blacks are the dumbest of homosapiens. If you cannot. Then your question is irrelevant and borne from your own unfortunate misconceptions about yourself and other black people.




Even among a particular race/community. There are countless variations in the phenotypic properties of organisms. Variations are mainly why natural selection is possible. So,
differences in those qualities you mentioned actually can be explained by their evolutionary advantages.




Humans didn't evolve from "apes. All humans ARE apes. We -alongside- the rest of apes(chimps, gorrillas etc) evolved from a common ancestor. This is where a lot of people get it wrong.

You dodged d question ... Firstly humans are not apes , can't breed with them due to chromosomal differences and genetic distances.

The common ancestor argument is void in the sense that everything with DNA has a common ancestor.. so essentially humans are not apes!!

I've attached the link about brain size differences in different races, that's what I'm looking to understand.

If u believe u originated from monkeys and that they are ur great great great ancestors, believe that for u and your family. As for me and my family, we are created in God's own image and His likeness. My God is not monkey and does not resemble it. He is the King of kings and creator of everything in the universe. I am also a king not a monkey

But the image and likeness of your God is a white bearded man, with blue eyes and long straight hair. He speaks Hebrew and calls the Israelites his people.

Should not the image and likeness of your God look like you, and speak to you in your language?

Niggsrdumb:

Humans are classified as apes along with other primates.

The Hominidae (/hɒˈmɪnɪdiː/), whose members are known as great apes [note 1] or hominids (/ˈhɒmɪnɪdz/), are a taxonomic family of primates that includes eight extant species in four genera: Pongo, the Bornean, Sumatran and Tapanuli orangutan; Gorilla, the eastern and western gorilla; Pan, the common chimpanzee and the bonobo; and Homo, of which only modern humans remain
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hominidae

The inability to breed is the main criteria is determining deferent species.

The common ancestor argument is void in the sense that everything with DNA has a common ancestor.. so essentially humans are not apes!!

Can't you see that your sentence up there is an oxymoron. How can you say everything with DNA has a common ancestor, but we cannot have a common ancestor with apes? Does that make sense to you?

What you don't know is that the so-called scientific community you're proud of is controlled by a few individuals who decide what conclusions and views should be put out or held as valid.

MiddleDimension:


the question you ask is a very common one, but it lacks the basic understanding of what evolution is a about

homosapiens will not evolve into something else, at least not in the biological sense of it by growing another body part. the reason for it is because we no longer live a jungle life. we have evolved civilization and this started the moment we were able to be open to awe and could make sense of our experiences both with hindsight and foresight. we are the only ones of all living things to have been able to break out of the box of our evolution. and yes, the other organisms nit domesticated, are still evolving and keep doing so as long as they lack this faculty that has made man to break away. so no evolution has not stoped. biological has stoped for us because we have developed civilization.

Your narrative is not plausible and does not add up. You say man has succeeded in escaping the box of evolution but a certain school of thought of scientists believe that man is still primitive based on intelligence and civilization because there are other terrestrial life forms (aliens) that are light years ahead of humans. So what do you have to say to that?

You are attempting the impossible; which is to free colonised brains and minds from their mental imprisonment. You want them to actually use their brains instead of regurgitating what their colonial masters inculcated in them? Impossible.

Before the advent of the printing press, copies of the bibles were hand copied. You commission a writer to produce a copy of the bible. Only very rich people or institution could afford to pay a copier to produce a copy. The project can last from 1 to 3 year. Now imagine the situation during the early years of Christianity, like the 1st and 2nd century AD. Every copier was free to imput his own biases and those of his client. This was why Constantine had to call a conference to agree on which books and versions is to be used by the new religion. Accepted books and doctrines were put into the new bible and rejected ones were destroyed and their promoters persecuted.

U r explaining things like I already don't know.

I'm talking about speciation.. how we currently are not some biological taxonomy classification which continues to change.


Eg is a white man the exact same as an Asian or African?

Do the differences account for any sort of selected advantages in each race?


Yes there are more differences between similar races than there are between different groups of humans , but that doesn't cancel out the speciation different groups have acquired.


Doesn't look like u understand d question, anyway thanks for trying.

Niggsrdumb:

Your previous posts suggest you know nothing about biological evolution. You did not know the humans (Homosapiens) are classified among the great apes.

I'm talking about speciation.. how we currently are not some biological taxonomy classification which continues to change.


Eg is a white man the exact same as an Asian or African?

A white man is exactly the same as the Asian or African (all the same specie - Homosapiens). The differences are due to environmental factors - the colder the environment the whiter the skin ), the straighter the hair, the longer the nose, etc., nutritional factors - the more abundant the food sources, the bigger and taller, and sometimes the selection or preference of mate - if men choose lighter females to have children, over time the general population will be lighter.

Do the differences account for any sort of selected advantages in each race?

Yes. Harsh cold environment make the people more resilient to the cold and aggressive. Higher elevation gives the people stamina and slim figure. Etc.

I have tried to explain as best as I can

Below is the different classifications of the Hominidae family tree, you will see we are closer to the chimpanzee and gorilla than the monkey.

I want to take you up again on the so called "you were created in the image of your God ".

Now look at these three images and tell me which one resembles your own image the most.

The first image is a gorilla taking a selfie with the park ranger

The second image is the general representation of Yahweh, which some Christians refer to as all mighty God

The third image is that of Jesus Christ, which most Christians refer also as all mighty God.

So which of the three are in your image?

I fully understand that humans are classified . (keyword ... Classified!!) amongst d great apes , but humans are not the same as chimps even though there's about 98 percent genetic similarity.

I'm looking at the differences not the similarities. Jeez mice share as much as 97 percent dna with humans just shy of the one percent we share with chimps.

Since you are getting closer to understanding the question with your last answer.

"Yes. Harsh cold environment make the people more resilient to the cold and aggressive. Higher elevation gives the people stamina and slim figure. Etc.
"

Could these selective pressures have contributed to cognitive disparities in different races?, especially when you consider that blacks have a smaller brain size according to research but it doesn't really have a causality explanation on smartness.. likewise looking at iq stats , you can see the relationship between brain size in different races, eg. the mongoloids have d biggest brains and highest iq, followed by Europeans and Africans.

Bro, I'm an Atheist and I don't think evolution ever happened. The big bang theory is also BS and it takes more faith to think you know something that happened millions of years ago than believing in the Abrahamic religions.

I understand ur point but d truth is dat science has proven to be relied upon in almost all spheres of life, religion hasn't. it's only on faith, nothing more. if science says x=y, u will see d proof and real life application of it. in religion, only based on a book, nothing more. origin of life is hard to tell but d funniest of them all is religious view.

You say man has succeeded in escaping the box of evolution but a certain school of thought of scientists believe that man is still primitive based on intelligence and civilization because there are other terrestrial life forms (aliens) that are light years ahead of humans. So what do you have to say to that?

first of all, there is no evidence of an extra-terristrial life anywhere else in the universe. but it is not impossible anyway that we are not the only intelligent being in the universe.

secondly, when we say man is still primitive, it is relative. because the world 500 years ago is more primitive than the world of 200 years ago, and that is more primitive than he world of today. when we say that we are still at the early stages of civilization, then it is just admitting how much we don't know yet and from what we now know, we can predict some of the things that are possible and we can see how we are becoming more like all the gods that humanity has ever believed in.

as soon as we developed that faculty to make sense of our experiences and be open to awe, we coould not look in to regions of existence that before now, we didn't know existed. we could look into the world of the very small, the very large and the very fast of course with apparatuses to aid our senses. as soon as we did that, we started seeing that the world operates on a much larger scale than the little window of reality in which we as an organism evolved our own natural sense of eyes, ears, tongue, skin and nose, the middle world that has got dimensions that are of the middle scale. we call them MIDDLEDIMENSIONS.

You have proof any animal livked up to a 1000 years? In the past humans did not even live up to 100 years before you start talking of 1000 years. During the time of Jesus, a 50 year old was considered an old man, as life expectancy was in the 40s.

See how you just lied with confidence. Go and read about Anna in the book of Luke. Even Elizabeth and her husband were old with Elizabeth past the age of childbearing. Except you mean to say women entered menopause at an early age then.
