Meme-Gene Coevolution
Therefore the process by which it is copied must be one that supports the evolutionary algorithm of variation, selection and heredity - in other words, producing copies of itself that persist through successive replications and which vary and undergo selection. The way we define memes is critical, not only for the future development of memetics as a science, but for our understanding of evolutionary processes in both natural and artificial systems
Top Ten Scientific Facts : Evolution is False and Impossible., page 1
If every field of science has now concluded that everything that can be known is already known and science is pretty much finished all its work, then I somehow missed that announcement. However, the environmental experience of the female cannot change the chromosomes within her eggs and cannot have any effect upon her offspring Please see my response to the section titled "Species Without a Link Proves Evolution is Wrong"
The Prophet Adam and Human Evolution - Islam21c
Some christians have come out with ID theory, which has MANY flaws in but still is a sort of competitor to evolution, what alternatives have Muslims come out with? harun yahya?? Some of his works, with all due respect is laughable. As a Muslim in the scientific field I accept the data (genetics and fossil records) but my interpretation of that data is that the similarity of the different species on Earth is reflective of a shared environment and by implication a common creator
This evolutionary tree has a crocodile-like animal at the bottom, and all these branches coming out from him, and we end up with turtles and snakes and reptiles and birds and mammals all descended from this one animal. With all of these different interpretations of the flood, what can we feel safe telling our children? What is the point of the flood? What is the bottom line of this event? The purpose of the flood of Noah was to destroy mankind as it existed at that time
The hyena isn't a caniform at all! They're descended from a civet-like creature, making them feliforms more closely related to the mongoose! This is an example of convergent evolution and explains why biology is such a difficult and complex science; also, why you shouldn't judge a book by its cover and the power of genetic studies. Evolution by descent with modification and natural selection is flipping a million coins, keeping the heads, flipping the rest, keeping the heads, flipping the rest..
Evolution: Glossary
homeobox: Homeoboxes are relatively short (approximately 180 base pair) sequences of DNA, characteristic of some homeotic genes (which play a central role in controlling body development). (Less formally, according to Medawar's definition, a virus is "a piece of bad news wrapped in a protein.") vitamin A: A member of a chemically heterogeneous class of organic compounds that are essential, in small quantities, for life
Science and Evolution
http://scienceandevolution.blogspot.com/The instance then showed that even though they reproduced over 20 years when they were first studied from 1976 to 1996, the original RNA format was stable. Science is About Falsifiability In any science, the details which show the structure of the operation of science, there is the possibility that the explanation is wrong
That we and the extinct hominins are somehow related and that we and the apes, both living and extinct, are also somehow related is accepted by anthropologists and biologists everywhere. Humans have short ischia (and long lower limbs), facilitating speedy actions of the hamstring muscles, which extend the thigh at the hip joint, while great apes have long ischia (and short hind limbs), which give them powerful hip extension for climbing up trees
africanus had no saggital crest, or bony ridge, running along the top of the skull, which is typical of some apes, and was the more gracile of the two, so it has been held that A. The dental evidence cited is the fact that, although these creatures, believed to have weighed 60-70 pounds, had cheek teeth as large as those found in 400-pound gorillas, thus possessing massive jaws, their front teeth (incisors and canine teeth) were relatively small in comparison with their cheek teeth when compared to the relative size of incisors and canines to cheek teeth in modern apes
Creation Worldview Ministries: The Nine Great 'Proofs' for Evolution: and Why They Are All False!
The idea was that coal burning had darkened the tree trunks and buildings in England and that the white individuals stood out against the dark background and the black individuals were camouflaged; thus, whiter individuals were eliminated by birds eating them first and the black were protected and they propagated an ever larger percentage of the total population. If I place a unicycle next to bicycle next to motorcycle next to an automobile, did I just prove that unicycles evolved into automobiles? If I place a Sand Dollar next to a Frisbee next to a hubcap next to a wheel, did I just prove that Sand Dollars evolved into wheels? No
29+ Evidences for Macroevolution: Part 2
It is therefore probable that Africa was formerly inhabited by extinct apes closely allied to the gorilla and chimpanzee; and as these two species are now man's nearest allies, it is somewhat more probable that our early progenitors lived on the African continent than elsewhere." (Darwin 1871, p. Prediction 2.6: Past biogeography Example 1: marsupials Example 2: horses Example 3: apes and humans Past biogeography, as recorded by the fossils that are found, must also conform to the standard phylogenetic tree
Refuting Evolution chapter 6: Humans: images of God or advanced apes? - creation.com
Population genetics calculations show that animals with human-like generation times of about 20 years could substitute no more than about 1,700 mutations in that time.14 Embryo similarities? Teaching about Evolution states on page 1: As organisms grow from fertilized egg cells into embryos, they pass through many similar developmental stages. That is, random mutation plus natural selection is expected to generate the information equivalent of 12 million words arranged in a meaningful sequence
Now I am zero carb (9 months now) eating just meat and my lifts at the gym have gone up, I have flat abs and tons of energy, clear skin, soft hair, etc. all primates, from our current lineage back through the fossil record of primates that have been discovered so far, show signs of some vestige of carnivorous activity
Evolution - Conservapedia
Ideas, either without basis or based on a few laboratory experiments carried out in extremely simplified systems, have become part of an evolutionary dogma accepted by most of us as part of our training. Why do they have to remind themselves of that? Because otherwise, the facts which are staring them in the face and trying to get their attention might break through
The Primates: Humans
National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) has plans to sequence the genomes of marmosets, northern white-cheeked gibbons, orangutans, and gorillas. It has been historically difficult for people to accept that we are in fact just another primate species with African origins and that we differ physically only in degree from some of the others
The following little conundrum illustrates the triviality (and misleading nature of) the cladistic requirement in relation to the question at hand (humans evolving from apes, or not). d)Many people in this world might have encountered hair loss problem that leads to the ultimate bald heads to annoy them and causes them to have no choice but to seek help from clinic, hair salon and etc
How come there are still monkeys? - RationalWiki
It nicely highlights how our definitions might be a little arbitrary when put next to reality, but this has little bearing on the misconceptions underpinning the fallacy. Given a simplistic view of evolution, it's easy to assume that humans are more complex than monkeys and that consequently "humans evolved from monkeys"
Relatively Interesting If humans evolved from apes, why do apes still exist?
Now mysticism and science are meeting and people who still suffer reactionary visceral freak-outs (like this)from perceived enemies are going to miss out on all the cool sh*t. But, like gravity, evolution can be tested and is falsifiable, and has yet to be disproven without invoking faith or religious arguments (which, by their very nature, are untestable and not falsifiable)
I am very much into molecular biology and read a lot in this area, but I never came across any articles or books that so clearly explained that 'evolution is not a linear process'. "The fallacy of linear evolution is most clearly illustrated by the analogy of asking; how can I share common grandparents with my cousins if my cousins and my grandparents are still alive?," says Dr Willis
CC150: Why are there still apes around?
The question is rather like asking, "If many Americans and Australians are descended from Europeans, why are there still Europeans around?" Creationists themselves recognize the invalidity of this claim (AIG n.d.)
With how big a human's brain and skull are vs a woman's pelvis, if we went to a higher gestational age we wouldn't be able to come out and it would cause infant and maternal death. I've heard various scientists try to bumble through hypothesis for why immobility is a evolutionary advantage and I'm sorry but no matter how you spin it - it is not an advantage
