This is NOT What Evolution Looks Like

    I own an 'evolution of the Silly Walk' shirt based on the Monty Python skit. A coworker of mine saw it, approached me and proclaimed, "Not everyone believes in that you know." I just nodded in mute amazement.

    ingaman Not only should it not be taken literally, it doesn't try to depict evolution. It was an attempt to capture the human lineage 'from ape to man' in a comprehensive graphic. And, with the knowledge available at the time, it was fairly accurate and clearly spoke to people's imaginations. I think Hank is nit-picking a little on this one; the lack of females makes sense if you're back-tracking along a patrilineal line (as modern geneticists like to do), or if you just realise that women were still second class citizens in those days. While evolution is a branching tree, the lineage leading up to modern man is a line, or, if you want to be complete; a tree growing back in time, with more ancestors the further you go back. The dead ends, while interesting from a paleoanthropologic point of view don't belong in the picture. Theoretically it would be possible to create a line from your father to his father, to his father's father, and so on until you reach the most recent ancestor whose descendants also include chimps and if you take a sample every ten to hundred millennia, you would get a line-up similar to this picture. Sure, some of the species named are now known not to be on that list, but such is the nature of scientific progeress; much of what we now 'know' to be true will draw bemused smiles when the next century rolls by. Sorry for the rant =) TLDR: it's not as inaccurate as Hank makes it out to be.

    ***** Blindly believing in something so strongly with little evidence to it happening is considered stupid among many people in the scientific community. It does sound pretty silly when it's explained like that, doesn't it? At the same time, blindly believing it's not possible simply because it hasn't been proven is equally stupid. Many people just don't realize that. In the end, it's your choice. I do, however, get annoyed when people say they don't believe in evolution because of their religion.

There is about as much evidence supporting the bible as there is supporting that The Odyssey, The Iliad, and many other Greek legends actually happened. Evidence that some of the people are real, some of the locations are real, and even some of the objects are real does not prove that the stories are real. Evolution on the other hand has essentially been proven.

    @Miss Plumtree Miss Plumtree evolution says that humans and chimpanzees share a common ancestor. We didn't evolve from chimps, chimps didn't evolve from us we just evolved from two different populations of an ape-like species. Two populations of that species evolved into different directions, one eventually became humans other eventually became Pan. Pan lineage also diverged into two groups recently: bonono and common chimpanzee. Human lineage also split into various archaic hominins like neanderthals, denisovans etc. Sapiens is the only surviving species in our lineage.

    I've often wondered why creationists don't simply study evolution and learn the facts before they try to present alternatives and/or objections to various scientific conclusions. I suspect the reason is that the moment they do so they will realize that the process of evolution is an observable and verifiable fact of nature.

This is why i find it so strange that people use Evolution as an argument against Creationism. Now the Creationists who says Evolution can't be true, are also mistaken, because the bible never says that evolution doesn't happen. Both sides of the argument are silly.

Secondly,...the bible is clearly a book filled with stories, fables, mythology, metaphors, parables, etc. It might as well be a book of riddles. You've got to look beyond the surface to learn anything from it. Most people haven't got that kind of time or patience. Thirdly.....God is not subject to time. Time is subject to God. Lastly, who's to say at what stage of evolution those animals were at when God created them? For all we know God's Garden Of Eden was just a bunch of one celled creatures that would later become the birds and fishes we know of today. Again, both side, atheists and creationists are arguing from a point of ignorance. Yawl ain't got a clue what yawl r really arguing about.

A question: are you defining Atheism as the claim "there is no God" ? because lacking belief in gods doesn't require evidence, it's simply not being convinced by the claim that there is such a being.

  • @raizin4908

    rodlurks66 There is a difference between "absence of belief in god(s)" and "belief in the absence of god(s)." I agree the former does not require evidence, but I think the latter-outright claiming that there is no such thing as a deity in any form or shape-is objectively not fair to claim without evidence. Not to say people are not entitled to belief what they want. The "belief in the absence of god(s)" type atheists have just as much right to have their beliefs as theists do. But I grow tired of such people that claim they are somehow objectively and logically better than theists, when they are much the same in essence. Agnosticism-or staying neutral in the existance versus non-existance of deities debate and not ruling out any of either side-is in my opinion the most objective perspective, and the one that should be used in most science and philosophy in order to not alienate theists and atheists alike. Regardless of the personal beliefs of the reseachers. Woops, that was a bit more of a rant than I intended...

If you are 7 feet tall and white or 4 ft tall and black you are still considered one species. The same is true of many of man's recent ancestors. They varied from each other greatly in their appearance but they still are considered the same species.

    ***** While that it s generally good definition, it fails in some specific situations that actually exist, for instance there are two types of Gulls in Europe, they can not interbreed. However, one can breed with the gulls to the west, who can breed to their west (etc.), and the other can breed with the gulls to the east, who can breed to their east (etc.). This continues all the way around the world till you come back to Europe. It's called a ring species. In contrast, dogs and wolves can interbreed, but we generally consider them separate species.

    GutentagCharlie Haha let me give you the answer I gave to someone else. Now about who is the true God. Let's first star with Gods nature. God is the greatest thing imaginable; mind and consciousness is greater than everything non conscious. So, God is a conscious being. Some things are greater than other things. Example in moral philosophy, there are way that are better than others. So, God is the most perfect way of everything, the one you must follow and imitate for success and the true life. That's is why it need to be holy, almighty, perfect in goodness and love and justice and wisdom. There are being whose existence is not necessary but only possible like we find here on earth. Those are call contingent beings. The whole universe is contingent by the way. But everything cannot be contingent for if it is, in the eternity pass it would have cease to exist for all contingent being cease to exist because is not in its nature to exist. So, there must be a necessary being whom is not contingent, it is necessary in itself. Why? To understand that you need to learn the difference between essence and existence. Essence is what makes an object what it is, existence it just its being. In the case of contingent being their essence and existence is different. As I say before is not in their essence to exist. Example, you can think of a robot and make the computer model and everything but that robot don't exist until you or someone construct it into being. Now the robot exist. So in the case of this necessary being its essence is the same as its existence. It exist, he didn't need anyone to make him up, he exist because its in his nature to exist, he is pure being and the source where are the other contingent being in heavens and earth came from. This is God. What other gods fit this description? Well most of them don't. Most of them had a beginning like all the Greek and roman pantheon, the Egyptian and a whole lots of others. This gods also are not the greatest thing, they behave human like and have human qualities. The only god that fit all description is the god of the bible, the true GOD. Now, we have the bible his inspire word that also proof that he is the one true God. In Jesus Christ for example were fulfil over 400 prophecies. All the prophecies of the bible fulfil with time and that is evidence that he is the true God. All the writers and person in the Bible are true historical figures. Moses is a historical figure. He was truly the one selected to liberate Israelites from Egypt the first world power. How a tribe of slave was able to beat a world power in its prime? Well, they didn't, it was Jehovah God that did. Everybody forget this but this is a historical awesome even and a testimony of Gods power. The bible explain human existence since the beginning. Explain the whys. Why do we exist? Why do we die? Why are we in the current condition? What is our purpose? It even explain the true origin of religion and its wide spread lies. The only book that claim comes from the only true God is the Bible. Read the bible and you will understand humanity pass, present and future. You will know that this is the truth . In top of all of that, Jesus Christ, the son of God himself came to earth to save humanity from death, to destroy Satan the head of the rebellion and to restore earth to its rightful place. He came to fulfil all the prophecies and hopes. He proof everything correct. He teach us about God like nobody have done. He perform miracles. His death and resurrection is the final testimony and the strongest one. With no doubt the God and father of Jesus Christ himself is the one and true God.

Assuming they were sentient, how would living with another sentient specie affect us today as humans in terms of what we look like and our culture, such as prejudice or our understanding of science? Would we benefit because we would be alright with more diversity, and be less prejudice? Or would we form into different groups, with the pure humans prejudice against the pure Neanderthals and vice-versa with both prejudice against the mixtures?

    It seems like a simple enough idea. If we can lay out a series of photos of our human ancestors (parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, etc.), then why couldn't we extend the process back a million years, showing, perhaps, just the highlights? Sure, the Time Life illustration had incorrect examples, but why not just fix it?

    The problem is that if you had, say, a brother, then both of your chains of photos would be identical and would be better represented by a photo tree. Similarly if you extend the photos back a million years, you'll find that Neanderthals and Homo Sapiens originated from the same ancestor and also would be better represented by a tree.

    Richard Alexander I totally agree and was going to say the same thing.. The video makes people think that a linear representation is somehow impossible or wrong.. You CAN represent any species' evolution linearly and only include the highlights. Why in the world couldn't you? The picture that people associate with human evolution is in fact wrong if it shows a neanderthal evolving into us, yes. But you could absolutely take the earliest known primate that preceded us, jump way forward to Lucy, then show us, if you wanted to be super simplistic and only show a couple of examples. It doesn't give the complete picture and may confuse some people, but that doesn't mean that a correct linear representation is somehow inaccurate or doesn't have a purpose.

If you read my first comment please tell me that I am wrong and give me some evidence. I know how "science works", my issue is pretending science is perfect and the creation story is a "fairy tale". Science still has not offered an answer as to what created the Big Bang. If a species will mate, a species will evolve over time. But to say all animals came from the same life form billions of years ago has not been proven. We know Biblically speaking that the garden of eden was near where what science calls "the cradle of life" was. All of a sudden there were cities, art, government, military, municipal powers, agriculture and you name it starting from a few thousands of years ago. So anyways, I would like you to pick apart what I just said and for you to prove me illogical and a troll, thanks, have a nice day.

I wont fault for for not understanding the math fully but recently they have made huge break throughs in discovering what may have started the big bang. Secondary, your basing your world view around myth, there never was a garden of Eden, it's a fairy tale meant to be take as allegory at best. The earth is four billion years old, we know this because we can date volcanic rocks, also modern human fossils date back much far further then the neolithic when agriculture started in the near east, not to mention other hominids which are far older. The bible is mythology the same way the Greek & Roman myth are. It's not literally truth, it's only use in history is understanding the world view of a bronze age semetic people nothing more. The fact you are stuck in that primitive mind set just shows the crime of your parent for indoctrinating you and handicapping your ability to think critically.

    Evolution is not actually controversial at all. It is one of the best supported theories of all time. It is also hated by some religious people, because it directly contradicts the primitive and incorrect origin stories told in their holy books. So some of those religious people lie (or "exaggerate") about what evolution is, and how it is supported. Then the followers of those people take these lies to heart, and pass them on. Many of them truly believe these lies, and think they are doing the public a service when they bring these untruths up. All that said, I would love to see a series on how we accumulate and verify the various lines of evidence that support evolution :)
