Well just as an FYI plants and animals diverged sometime around 1.5 to 1.65 billion years ago. So no it wasn’t one of the first few cells. Life had already been present on Earth for at least 1.5 billion years by that time.(May 23, 2013 at 6:15 pm)Norfolk And Chance Wrote: We share 58% of our genome with bananas, believe it or not.So what are the possible implications of that, what was the point in quoting that finding... bananas and humans share the same ancestor? One of the first few cells split and one of them gave rise to living cells the other one a plant-type thing? I'm not an expert on Biology, unlike in Physics. But what I do know is that if you came up to me in the street and said I shared something with a banana, I'd punch you in the face.

He wanted to know if we could refute the statement "lions can not make a hybrid with a tiger." I can refute that because lions and tigers can make hybrids. They had a tigon at the Memphis zoo back in the 60's. It was one of my favorites.(May 23, 2013 at 8:13 pm)popeyespappy Wrote: 1. No.

Evolution is not observable. this doesn't mean it's false though.
i think that as evolution occurs over millenia and millions of years, it's difficult (duh, impossible lol..) for any human to monitor how morphological/physiological changes can help exploit environmental niches. evolution is not like the theory of gravity. granted, we don't know what causes gravity. however, we can describe its existence and effects well enough.

We know that gravity happens but what it is is far from settled. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative...relativity You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

Oh, it's entirely observable, if you look in the right places. Bacteria, for example. Hell, even the various breeds of dog count in that regard. Wouldn't have gotten the variation we see today without evolution. Hell, just google "silver fox experiment" to see a fairly stark example. All evolution deniers have now are bald assertions.

dog breeds are just like human races. german sherperds, pitbulls, chiauhauas and yorkshire terriers are all the same species, just as blacks and whites comprise the same species with minimal genetic difference. how is that evolution?
You really don't know what evolution is, huh?
yes, mutations over time enable organisms to exploit niches.
