Are We Still Evolving? by jaephoenix(m): 7:00pm On Dec 24, 2022 |
The following article was in a scientific Journal. This should put paid by daft theists asking why we aint still evolving [b]Seven million years after we left the chimpanzee lineage, a study found 155 new genes in humans, suggesting that we are still evolving. The study has been conducted by researchers from Alexander Fleming Biomedical Sciences Research Centre (BSRC Fleming) in Greece and Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland. They said that the newly-discovered genes emerged from small, non-coding section of the DNA. According to Science Alert, these genes appear to play crucial role inhuman biology, making the discovery extremely important. The study has been published in the journal Cell Reports. "This project started back in 2017 because I was interested in novel gene evolution and figuring out how these genes originate," said Nikolaos Vakirlis, a scientist at BSRC Fleming and an author of the study. "It was put on ice for a few years, until another study got published that had some very interesting data, allowing us to get started on this work," the researcher added. Taking the data from the previous study (published in 2020), the team behind in this new study created a genetic tree comparing humans to other vertebrate species. The scientists found that some of the newly-discovered genes can be tracked all the way back to the earliest days of mammals, while others are more recent additions. Two of the genes identified by the study seem to have emerged since the human-chimpanzee split, the researchers found. "We sought to identify and examine cases in the human lineage of small proteins that evolved out of previously noncoding sequences and acquired function either immediately or shortly thereafter," the team wrote in their published paper.

That is true, evolution is real with every proven evidences. Every critical thinker knows that. 1 Like |

Macro Evolution is a complete facade. Nobody disprove that fact that minor alterations can happen once in a while but for a specie to become another specie entirely is a lie. Humans where never chimps. In fact the shared similarity by life forms Is a proof of God. 1 Like |

No scripture in the bible has debunk the possibility of Evolution and natural selection as a thousand years is like a day before God. In other words, the seven days creation might implies several seven thousands of years or even light years. EVOLUTION IS REAL |

jaephoenix:intelligence can only come from intelligence, life can only come from life. No evidence of macro evolution not even historical data support such. |

Steep:That's why I said theists lack biology knowledge. An example of macro evolution is evolution of hippos from whale-like creatures in the sea called anthracotheres https://phys.org/news/2015-02-daddy-hippo-ancestry-unveiled.html 1 Like |

jaephoenix:So when has claims turn to evidence? "Because the researchers only found dental fossils, they can only speculate about other details of Epirigenys lokonesis's appearance. "We can say that this species was an herbivorous animal of 70-100 kg with a size close to that of a large sheep," said Lihoreau. He thinks Epirigenys likely looked like a small and slender hippo, and was likely at least semi-aquatic, if not fully aquatic." They found a dental fossil and conjured up/speculate tales that fit their narrative and gullible gobble it down without questioning, so much for elightment. |

jaephoenix:That I don't have actual answer for if they know or just choose to ignore the concept and theory since it doesn't align with their book. Or, let us say, some know, but choose to follow their beleifs and everybody have right to their beliefs whether it can be proven or not. They say, 'love is blind" you can't call who is in love to their partner faults and agreed with you. Even if they agreed with you, that doesn't end the love they have for their partner. What I'm trying to say is that, that example above goes with the theist, they so much beleive in the faith and that makes them blind to the truth. And I'm not surprised on that. We don't expect everybody to sleep and lay head on the same side. And that even caused the evolution of technology and science. You can't be doing thing in the same way and get different result. |

Steep:Great. So how come the 2 mammals share several genetic materials together? By the way, with the way yall theists scrutinize scientific research, do you apply the same to your Bible? Because if you do, youd become an atheist or agnostic at worse. You still believe your Bible 100% even though no historical or archaeological evidence backs it up 1 Like |

Backlaw406:Yeah. I agree. Everyone is entitled to their belief, but where I draw a line is when they forcefully try to convert unbelievers with threats and bodily harm. I don't see any atheists waking people up early in the mornings with loudspeakers or prayer cries, or spraying their neighbors with saliva in the name of preaching in the bus.

jaephoenix: We already know that evolution is a lie and fabrication of using the Truth to lie. The mere fact that matrix and vibe or Isuzu and Honda passport look alike does not mean that they evolved from each other. The creator created them to look alike. It's as simple as that. 1 Like |
Re: Are We Still Evolving? by Dtruthspeaker: 11:31pm On Dec 24, 2022 |
jaephoenix: Because the same Creator tends to often create things similarly. Exactly as some people can tell the creator of a thing through the style and flow of that thing eg I can tell a Volvo anywhere anytime. There is always a flow the creator of Volvlo maintains. And this earth has the flow of God running through it. Clearly, God made all or at least most of the things on the earth to connect with each other. |

paxonel:The aim of the bible is not to debunk all false teachings. But if you are sticking to the bible, you would learn that after creating the chimps, God chose to make man from sand and not from chimps. |
Re: Are We Still Evolving? by paxonel(m): 9:03am On Dec 25, 2022 |
jaephoenix:From the account of creation, God had created every other creature before creating man. Genesis 2:5 It might just be possible that dinosaur must have been created and had gone into extinction before the creation of man who knows? That even the current homo sapien was evolved from the original created man, whatever it was, who knows? |
