The Mysterious Origins of Man - Top Documentary Films
Capricious I think the comment section was far more entertaining than this "doctumentary" (although I think its safer to label it a mockumentary as it's mocking everything science and documentaries stand for; like research and credibility). science has had to fight against the constant and psychotic tide of religious authorities outright denial of the facts since the beggining of recorded history and at no point has any science v religion debate ever been settled by the provision of evidence supporting a religious point of view, whereas endless debates have been ended by science proving its case
Quotes About Evolution (949 quotes)
During the minute that it takes me to compose this sentence, thousands of animals are being eaten alive, many others are running for their lives, whimpering with fear, others are slowly being devoured from within by rasping parasites, thousands of all kinds are dying of starvation, thirst, and disease. It remained on the list for more than a year and a half and ultimately sold well over a million copies, has been translated into 28 languages, inspired an Academy Award-winning documentary, and won both the 1952 National Book Award and the John Burroughs Medal
Just as you stated that newer evidence cleared up the gaps in the old well founded and defended theory but still is just another theory that will yet change again...as the evidence unfolds.So as we take this journey of unfolding theories we tend to grow more and more skeptical. Evolution: A Theory in Crisis by Michael Denton; Michael Denton says, "Despite the tremendous increase in geological activity in every corner of the globe and despite the discovery of many strange and hitherto unknown forms, the infinitude of connecting links has still not been discovered and the fossil record is about as discontinuous as it was when Darwin was writing the Origin." A reader of the Michael Denton's book says, "Denton a Molecular Biologist removes all of the supports (if there ever were any) from Darwin's theory of macro-evolution (continuity of life)
Why Is There Religion? A Survey of Religious Origins
(Usually, but not always: communism would be an example of an ideology with a complex of viral memes that infested even the schools of societies that employed it as the sole form of governance.) Young students receiving Islamic education in Afghanistan. If she please not her master, who hath betrothed her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed: to sell her unto a strange nation he shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her
The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Evolution Of Man Scientifically Disproved, by William A. Williams
It is called polyphyletic evolution, which means that God created numerous stocks, or beginnings of both plant and animal life, which were subject to change and growth, deterioration and development, according to his plan and purpose. Elsewhere we have shown that an ape-man with a cranium of two-thirds normal capacity must have lived at least 20,000,000 years ago,--one third the period of animal existence; or even 166,666,666 years ago, if we accept a later claim that life has existed 500,000,000 years
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
Among the hominiforms, the species appear to be tailless and have many body form changes (you know where to look to see each of the changes discussed in detail). of Chicago) '86 PhD (Anthro - Harvard) '86 - with David Pilbeam, Eric Trinkaus UCLA - faculty in Neurosurgery 1996-2001 Current - Medical Director at Institute for Spinal Disorders, Cedars Sinai Medical Center Books: Do You Really Need Back Surgery - Oxford Univ
on a lesser ground, because it's not testable, but we can agree to fullback to it if all other ideas were proven false until another explanation is proven true :-P . A good example of this is Santa Claus, sure people stop believing in it with age but that is only because the parents and community decide it's time for them to learn the truth
Humans, by virtue of being able to build fires, construct shelters and produce clothes, would have been able to lose their fur and thereby reduce the numbers of parasites they were carrying without suffering from the cold at night or in colder climates. Absolute garbage! Judy Zifka said: May 31, 2012 at 7:48 am I heartily disagree, Chris, and the intensity of your denial leads me to believe that I may be on the right track
HUMANS EVOLUTION OF HOMO SAPIENS SPECIES INTELLIGENT LIFE FORM
It has been estimated that the human lineage diverged from that of chimpanzees about five million years ago, and from gorillas about eight million years ago. The fertilized egg, called a zygote, divides inside the female's uterus to become an embryo, which over a period of thirty-eight weeks becomes a human fetus
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
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
Ape to Human Evolution
Ardipithecus ramidus gives us a picture of the line of hominids, to which we belong, dating back to 4.4 mya, only one million years later than our last common ancestor with chimps. (Clip art from freefever.com) Until the study of Ardipithecus ramidus was completed, scientists believed something quite similar to ape to human evolution
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
Using such chips, Dr Khaitovich and Dr Paabo were able to find out when, during the course of life, particular genes were active, by working out how much RNA from each gene cells from particular parts of the brains of individuals of different ages contained. They extracted cells, post mortem, from people, chimps and monkeys of many ages, and looked at which genes had been active in these cells when the owners were alive
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)
Why did humans and monkeys evolve to hate the color red?
With all due respect for people who consider red their favorite color, the overwhelming cultural cues when it comes to red is that it's the color of danger and should be avoided - driving for as little as thirty seconds should present you with a traffic light or stop sign that's ample reminder of that. Assuming an aversion to red didn't evolve separately in humans and macaques, then it's a trait that goes back very far in our evolutionary history, to a time that we shared a common ancestor with Old World monkeys
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.)
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
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"
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
