Quote:Study meiosis and mitosis. Try to understand what role both these processes play in the division of cell and building of a tissue and organ. Study how variations in similar population occur. There you will find how a man can be tall or short and why parents have not similar children.
At least Adam and Eve are a solid logical foundation on how human race began on earth. It is not like guessing under the hood of abiogenesis how life began and how first life form looked
Adam and eve is not logical in the slightest, it's a laughable myth, it belongs with other myths. abiogenesis is only a hypothesis, but is still much more genuine, honest, less laughable than getting information from an ancient arabic book.
The theory of evolution as the name suggests is a reliable scientific theory.
It's quite easy to spot the odd one out when you put a scientific theory in with a group of ancient myths.
Ancient myth
Quote:Faro created all the world that mankind has come to know from the descendants of Mangala's original egg seeds. He caused the land to flood to wash away the impure seed of his brother, Pemba. From this flood, only the good were saved, sheltered by Faro's ark.
Ancient myth
Quote:The goddess Nüwa then used clay to form humans. These humans were very smart since they were individually crafted. Nüwa then became bored of individually making every human, so she dipped a rope in clay and the blobs that fell from it became new humans. These new humans were not as smart as the original ones.
What modern day Muslims actually believed happened and is definitely not an ancient myth.
Quote:He created Adam from clay and He breathed life into him. He created Him from dust; then He said to him, "Be," and he was. From Adam he created a mate, and from both of them many men and women.
(Oh and I don't need to study meiosis and mitosis at all, I have good old trusty Islamic hadith explanation as to the diversity of human kind on the planet.)
Hadith transmitted by one of Muhammad's companions.
Quote:"Allah created Adam from a handful of dust taken from different lands, so the children of Adam have been created according to the composition of the land. Therefore, from mankind we have white, red, black and yellow ones; we have good and evil, ease and sorrow, and what comes in between
Ok and now......
Scientific theory.
Quote:Evolution is the change in the inherited characteristics of biological populations over successive generations. Evolutionary processes give rise to diversity at every level of biological organisation, including species, individual organisms and molecules such as DNA and proteins.
All life on Earth is descended from a last universal ancestor that lived approximately 3.8-3.5 billion years ago. Repeated speciation and the divergence of life can be inferred from shared sets of biochemical and morphological traits, or by sequencing shared DNA sequences. These homologous traits and sequences are more similar among species that share a more recent common ancestor, and can be used to reconstruct evolutionary histories, using both existing species and the fossil record. Existing patterns of biodiversity have been shaped both by speciation and by extinction.
I'm not saying everything about evolution is definitely 100 percent right and I believe in it religiously, or that I even understand 100 percent everything about it because I'm not a biologist.
BUT I think I can see the difference between an ancient myth and a genuine, honest scientific attempt to try and discover the truth about something.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
