Macroevolution

There are far more colors than two, if you can not make that simple observation you would lose many facts in research. The words is the species and the single color that is at the beginning is the trait that changes due to out side forces. The words stay words and the color is all that changes there is no macro here, only a variation within the same species and this does not constitute evolution.

Look! The text is simply a demonstration of how tiny and minutely imperceptible changes can, over a long enough period of time, result in something that bears little resemblance to the original.

In the example given the actual words are analogous to life itself and the colour to species. Using this example it is easy to grasp that something like a shrew like mammal living during the time of the dinosaurs can, eventually, give rise to something radically different, such as a blue whale or even you!

Even if you disagree with the premise even you must, intellectually, be able to grasp the concept in all its beauty and simplicity.

Stop being deliberately obtuse. It isn't funny and it isn't clever, both presumably attributes that can easily be applied to yourself.

Bah! If dogs were bred from wolves, then why are there still wolves?

Checkmate, atheists!

If Americans came from Europeans, why are there still Europeans. Thinking

If Man came from dirt, why is there still dirt? Checkmate, creationists!

Wolves evolved but dogs were bred by man. Thus, the miserable, yappy, useless little rat-dog piece of shit that is the chihuahua is an example of "intelligent design" while the noble wolf is an example of evolution by natural selection.

Fuck all jesus freaks.

Hah, I am severly colour blind. But I understand the point, and it is a good example.

I have an agnostic friend who refuses to accept evolution as he doesn't believe the evidence, I showed him this but he just plainly said: But how can you apply colours to mankind?

I just don't understand what goes through some people's heads when presented with things like this.

And if Europeans came from Africa, why are there still Africans.

Checkmate anthropologists! Wink

RE: Macroevolution
There are holes in evolution as a theory, as there are with most scientific theories. I'm not saying creationism is the way to go, but honestly, who knows? I sure don't. Tongue
