A question to the darwinists.

[leo-rcc]

Where do you get the 4 million year figure from?

Hey that's what they teach in the schools mate!

What do they teach in school that has a 4 million year figure?

[theVOID]

Buying information from people desperately trying to sell shoe insoles?

"It took 4 million years of evolution to perfect the human foot. But we're wrecking it with every step we take"

Or maybe animals fighting?

"Palaeontologists have discovered a fossilised great white shark tooth lodged in a four-million-year-old whale mandible bone"

(Results provided by google search "4 million years")

Hey

I fight for jesus.

I watched the creatures they defy evolution vids you mentioned and guess what they did not defy evolution.

Big news I fight for jesus, you, yes YOU are a mutant, if you go to the bbc news website and look for we are all mutants, (curse my poor linking skills) you will see that every single person has at least 100 genetic mutations. now there are 6,000,000,000,000 people in the world so currently there are 600,000,000,000,000 genetic mutations doing the rounds in humans as we type. you enjoy spouting 4 million years about, you work out how many genetic mutations that would create.(ok you can divide the 4 mil by twenty to adjust for generations and lower the average population to account for population growth) but I think you get my point. Lots of mutations happen ALL AT ONCE and the beneficial or neutral ones survive, simple as that. You don't always have to wait for one mutation then the next one, it sometimes happens like that, but not always and the process is accelerated during periods of stress drought,flood, disease or other.

In a way I am greatfull to you for this discussion. It allows me to put my thoughts in order and do some research I otherwise would not have undertaken.
Thankyou for helping to reaffirm my atheism, in fact I may upgrade to join Christopher Hitchins in being an Antitheist. Please read his 'God is not great, how religion poisons everything' book and be enlightened.

Its certainly a much better read than the bible.

I have a new quote for you all.

When the bible says 'Thou shalt not lie' its being sarcastic

and

But my neighbours got such a nice ass

If you expect me to answer can you use the

facility ... I cannot tell where my points end and yours begin.

Sorry Kyu, just figgured out how to use it. I did try before but it kind of didn't work.

So are you going to answer the question properly?

In fact, sometimes negative mutations can make it through as well. They just have to be carried along by either technology, beneficial mutations, or simply not being that bad.

I live in Finland which is obviously a totally different environment when compared to Africa. I have red hair and light skin, which is most likely due to a mutation that affects the function of the MC1R protein. This is means that there isn't very much eumelanin in my skin and hair. Eumelanin is found in higher concentrations in people with dark hair and skin.

The last sentance is true. But wouldn't you have pheomelanin cause you have red hair?

There is a pro to having low concentrations of melanin when living in northern countries and that is the fact that you can then produce vitamin D with less exposure to UV radiation. This means that if one had a darker complexion and wasn't able to get enough vitamin D via food, then one's bones wouldn't develop properly. I have a higher risk of developing some form of skin cancer due to the lower concentration of melanin in my skin.

This is true.

Somebody could say: "That's not a beneficial mutation, you said it yourself that you have a higher risk of skin cancer". It's not that simple. The mutation is beneficial in the environment in which it succeeded to thrive and it may even be beneficial in other environments and thus spread even further, but it may also be detrimental in a different environment.

I will say this I don't know much about beneficial mutation. I will hopefully learn more about beneficial mutation here. This I do know, we should get limited amounts of sunshine in a day, and wear sunscreen.

Yes. People with red hair have more phaeomelanin than eumelanin.

Seems Jesus boy left the room.

[Violet]

Gee Dotard... don't be so hard on him How could Jesus boy hope to refute the almighty Dotard?

Your first statement that we evolved from Chimps demonstrated how much you knew about evolution.
You know nothing and the rest you spoke of is most likely copied.
People have already told you of this error. We did NOT evolve from apes, we are apes still.
