DNA is neither engineered -nor- a product of "happenstance". It's deoxyribonucleic acid, one of those chemicals with "specific activities"- in this case self replication...constrained on all sides by organic chemistry and demonstrably a product -of- organic chemistry.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Whatever our children may one day become.."homo sapiens" will appear in their full classification.

Any educated teenager can tell you that time and reproduction are not the only driving forces of the natural selection process. They could also show you current, ongoing examples of evolution being measured and documented. Mayflies. Seriously? That one was even more ridiculously ignorant than the 747 example. Give it up, troll poe. You dig your painfully obvious ignorance hole deeper with every post. Mayflies. You didn't graduate from middle school, did you? Or are you from a long line of sisters and brothers marrying each other - like the fantasy offspring of "Adam and Eve".You only hold your position because you've been told all of your life that an absurd book of fairy tales is literal truth, and that your sky demon imaginary monster god will fry you forever if you dare to question it. That's the only possible answer for rejecting hard science in favor of delusions.

So you believe that plants have always been plants, reptiles have always been reptiles,, and mammals have always been mammals etc?

I'm not sure what belief has to do with it. Yes..of course..mammals have always been mammals. That a mammal is a mammal is even less than a tautology.....? Can you find a single mammal that isn't a mammal and hasn't always been a mammal?

These are examples of adaptation, not evolution, there was no species change here. The birds are still birds, fish are still fish, reptiles are still reptiles etc. |
