Evolution question

 (March 20, 2013 at 2:47 pm)taylor93112 Wrote: I understand this question has probably been on here a million times, but anyway.Because it is poorly explained, to put it simply. What we know about evolution is WHAT it achieves. We know almost nothing about HOW. There are competing theories, and all have been rigorously tested, and yet we still haven't figured out what actually drives Evolution and causes it to "work". In a sense belief in Evolution is as sensible as belief in cold-fusion. If you actually saw cold fusion happening then you might want to believe it, otherwise it is plainly absurd. Well, we've observed that evolution happens, but that's it. We still have no idea why it happens at the pace that it does and how it does it. I have proposed many times that the mechanism that drives evolution is proteins and enzymes and switching and mixing. Although why it should work is beyond me.

The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK "That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke  RE: Evolution question

I don't know how internal combustion engines work, therefore, I don't believe that internal combustion is responsible for the movement of cars. It must be the work of God.

Actually, we know. It's just that we all got together and agreed not to let you in on the secret. |
