I firmly believe in Evolution but I donāt buy into āall life on Earth is connected and related to each other.ā Darwin had a great theory until he took it too far.
In my opinion Evolution is tied to ecosystems and Human intervention. Take for example.
Medicine was introduced into sub - Saharan Africa by Westerners. That alone changed the evolution of the people living there. For eons they were evolving without outside Human Intervention. After Westerners arrived and made profound changes the evolution that was taking place changed.
I just asking in regards to evolutionary theory. Personally I have not looked into this debate for a good number of years so I was under the impression that mutations were the primary if not the only mechanism for change. My skepticism has always pertained to the question of whether random mutations could change say a dog like mammal into a sea going mammal (which is just one of the thousands upon thousands of significant transitions that would have to take place). Most specifically make beneficial changes to organs, skeletal structure, musculature, epidermis, etc?
On a long flight Richard Dawkins found himself sitting next to an old cowboy reading the Bible.
āYou know,ā he said, āconversations help flights go faster.ā
āThat sounds like a good idea.ā the cowboy said as he set the book down, āWhat do you have in mind?ā
āWell. We could talk about evolution and how it demonstrates thereās no need for God.ā Dawkins said smugly.
Without missing a beat the cowboy said: āSure. But first, Mr Dawkins, could you answer something for me? You see, cows, horses and deer all eat the same sort of stuff but what comes out is very different. Cows make pads, horses clumps and deer pellets. So what is the evolutionary benefit for each style of poop?ā
Dawkins was a bit astonished that the man had recognized him and a bit put off by an actual nuanced question so he thought for a moment before admitting he didnāt really know what the advantages were.
āSo what youāre telling me is, you can talk about God but canāt explain crap?ā
āYou are My witnesses,ā declares the LORD, āand My servant whom I have chosen, So that you may know and believe Me and understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, and there will be none after Me.ā
Iāve heard that the ostrich egg is the largest single cell known to man. Does the cell include the shellā¦or is the shell just a casing for the cell?
ā¦and how does a single cell have two separate parts, the yoke and the white?
While science is on another level of debate, the question of evolution comes in all shapes and sizes particularly when is comes to political ideology, and thus solving problems is something we are slow to adapt to.
