MaxInDHouse:You literally mentioned a talking snake in your fairytale. The burden of proof is actually on you |
MaxInDHouse:The funny thing about you is that you are ignorant and proud of it. The Bible never mentioned Dinosaurs, why? ![]() |
MaxInDHouse:But I'm not athiest tho. |
Evolution In biology, evolution is change in the genetic material of a population of organisms from one generation to the next. Though changes produced in any one generation are small, differences accumulate with each generation and can, over time, cause substantial changes in the population, a process that can culminate in the emergence of new species. Indeed, the similarities amongst species suggest that all known species are descended from a common ancestor (or ancestral gene pool) through this process of gradual divergence . The basis of evolution is the genes that are passed on from generation to generation; these produce an organism's inherited traits. These traits vary within populations, with organisms showing heritable differences (variation) in their traits. Evolution itself is the product of two opposing forces: processes that constantly introduce variation, and processes that make variants either become more common or rare. New variation arises in two main ways: either from mutations in genes, or from the transfer of genes between populations and between species. In species that reproduce sexually, new combinations of genes are also produced by genetic recombination, which can increase variation between organisms. Two major mechanisms determine which variants will become more common or rare in a population. One is natural selection, a process that causes helpful traits (those that increase the chance of survival and reproduction) to become more common in a population and causes harmful traits to become more rare. This occurs because individuals with advantageous traits are more likely to reproduce, meaning that more individuals in the next generation will inherit these traits. Over many generations, adaptations occur through a combination of successive, small, random changes in traits, and natural selection of the variants best-suited for their environment. The other major mechanism driving evolution is genetic drift, an independent process that produces random changes in the frequency of traits in a population. Genetic drift results from the role that chance plays in whether a given trait will be passed on as individuals survive and reproduce. Evolutionary biologists document the fact that evolution occurs, and also develop and test theories that explain its causes. The study of evolutionary biology began in the mid-nineteenth century, when studies of the fossil record and the diversity of living organisms convinced most scientists that species changed over time. However, the mechanism driving these changes remained unclear until the theories of natural selection were independently discovered by Charles Darwin and Alfred Wallace. Darwin's landmark work On the Origin of Species of 1859 brought the new theories of evolution by natural selection to a wide audience. Darwin's work soon led to overwhelming acceptance of evolution among scientists. In the 1930s, Darwinian natural selection was combined with Mendelian inheritance to form the modern evolutionary synthesis, which connected the units of evolution (genes) and the mechanism of evolution (natural selection). This powerful explanatory and predictive theory directs research by constantly raising new questions, and it has become the central organizing principle of modern biology, providing a unifying explanation for the diversity of life on Earth. |
Dtruthspeaker, have you got any questions from my summary? |
Dtruthspeaker:If you like ask your father, My point is that every reasonable person knows that the Earth is around 4 billion years old. |
Workch:I have given him a much longer summary. |
Dtruthspeaker:Scroll up and read my summary of the BB. Saying the BB isn't true also means that you are claiming that the universe is not expanding. But we know that the universe is accelerating out of control thanks to Einstein's Dark Energy. |
Dtruthspeaker:I have already given you a short summary on the BB. |
Dtruthspeaker:The universe began as a very hot, small, and dense superforce (the mix of the four fundamental forces), with no stars, atoms, form, or structure (called a "singularity" . Then about 13.8 billion years ago, space expanded very quickly (thus the name "Big Bang" . This started the formation of atoms, which eventually led to the formation of stars and galaxies. It was Georges who first noted (in 1927) that an expanding universe could be traced back in time to an originating single point. The universe is still expanding today, and getting colder as well.As a whole, the universe is growing and the temperature is falling as time passes. Cosmology is the study of how the universe began and its development. Some scientists who study cosmology have agreed that the Big Bang theory matches what they have observed so far. Fred Hoyle called the theory the "Big Bang" on his radio show. He did not believe the Big Bang was correct. Scientists who did not agree with him thought the name was funny and decided to use it. [b]Scientists base the Big Bang theory on many different observations. The most important is the redshift of very far away galaxies. Redshift is the Doppler effect occurring in light. When an object moves away from Earth, its color rays look more similar to the color red than they actually are, because the movement stretches the wavelength of light given off by the object. Scientists use the word "red hot" to describe this stretched light wave because red is the longest wavelength on the visible spectrum. The more redshift there is, the faster the object is moving away. By measuring the redshift, scientists proved that the universe is expanding, and they can work out how fast the object is moving away from the Earth. With very exact observation and measurements, scientists believe that the universe was a singularity approximately 13.8 billion years ago. Because most things become colder as they expand, scientists assume that the universe was very small and very hot when it started.[/b] Other observations that support the Big Bang theory are the amounts of chemical elements in the universe. Amounts of very light elements, such as hydrogen, helium, and lithium seem to agree with the theory of the Big Bang. Scientists also have found "cosmic microwaves background radiation". This radiation is known as radio waves, and they are everywhere in the universe. This radiation is now very weak and cold, but a long time ago it was very strong and very hot. It can be said that time had no meaning before the Big Bang. If the Big Bang was the beginning of time, then there was no universe before the Big Bang, since there could not be any "before" if there was no time! Other ideas state that the Big Bang was not the beginning of time 13.8 billion years ago. Instead, some believe that there was a completely different universe before the Big Bang, and it may have been very different from the one we know today. |
Dtruthspeaker:You called the Big Bang unsubstantiated, I called the Talking snakes hypothesis, unsubstantiated. Na you start am first. ![]() |
Workch:Give him sometime to think of something useless, then post it here. |
Dtruthspeaker:Every reasonable person knows that the Earth is around 4 billion years old. So when did the creation story happen? 4 billion years ago? |
Omo The Dunning-Kruger effect is really heavy on you Dtruthspeaker. The other guy is asking for your evidence against the Big Bang brother. Or you think you are smarter than the astrophysicists that spend their lives studying this? Or could it be that it just makes you uncomfortable? Pick one. Because this one that you are pandering from pillar to post, I don't understand o. Bring your evidence, get it peer reviewed, collect your Nobel prize. You don't understand English?, Which language you want make I use for you? By the way I'm agnostic and open to evidence, you cannot tell me to believe what you are saying when you have nothing to back it up except this thing you call "faith". |
Dtruthspeaker:Student that wants to be schooled, is calling what He wants to learn, unsubstantiated. I am only calling out your hypocrisy. You calling the big bang unsubstantiated and I am asking you for the evidence of talking snakes. Let's start from there. Oh and also you have been dodging the other guy's questions. |
Dtruthspeaker, how old do you think the earth is? |
Workch:You cannot ask a guy who believes in talking animals, suspended day/night cycles, fire falling from the sky, a woman turning salt, humans living up to 900 years, witches/wizard, food falling from the sky, a flaming chariot on a joyride to heaven, a man whose supernatural abilities were in his hair, virgin birth, sticks turning to snakes, a man who was swallowed whole and lived in the belly of a fish, diseases caused by evil forces or something called "sin" to explain science to you. His entire life is built upon immunity to evidence. No waste your time. |
Dtruthspeaker:It is obvious that you don't know what you are saying. Aren't we humans made up of atoms. Werey. So yea, if you are claiming that a human being automatically changed into salt, you are implying that all the atoms that make her up, automatically became salt atoms. Your ignorance is outstanding. I asked you for proof of someone turning to salt and you are telling me of a Toyota factory ![]() |
"evolution makes no sense, the big bang/expansion of the universe makes no sense". Says the guy that believes in talking animals, suspended day/night cycles, fire falling from the sky, a woman turning salt, humans living up to 900 years, witches/wizard, food falling from the sky, a flaming chariot on a joyride to heaven, a man whose supernatural abilities were in his hair, virgin birth, sticks turning to snakes, a man who was swallowed whole and lived in the belly of a fish, diseases caused by evil forces or something called "sin". |
Dtruthspeaker:Congratulations, you have won the hypocrisy award. You claim that the Big Bang cannot be reasonably "substantiated", yet you claim that a snake talked. But we know that snakes do not have vocal cords, neither can they hear. It's people like you that fall for religious scammers like Oyedepo. It's been 21 centuries. Your book tells you that God brought all the animals before Adam and asked Adam to name them (implying that all the animals in the world were alive before Adam and Eve) but we know that Dinosaurs went extinct long before modern humans. The story you are sharing and the fossils we are seeing is not adding up. Here is how this will work, bring out your degree in astrophysics, bring out your evidence against the expansion of the universe, have it peer reviewed and collect your Nobel Prize. It's that simple. |
Dtruthspeaker:So where is the proof of a woman turning to salt? Like all the atoms that make her up, turning to salt in a instant? Where have you seen Toyota automatically changing to Powder |
Dtruthspeaker:So where is the proof of a woman turning to salt? Like all the atoms that make her up, turning to salt in a instant? Where have you seen Toyota automatically changing to Powder |
Workch:Didn't you see the way He kept quiet. He no want make them open him nyash like the other guy. If you ask him why He thinks the Big Bang is a lie, He would tell you that it makes no sense to him (It is easy to understand why, because He doesn't know what the Big Bang actually is). But He will happily tell you how Animals talked and how a woman turned into salt. The hypocrisy is so thick, you could cut it with a knife. |
Workch:The mind of people like him goes like this: I don't understand it, and since I don't understand it, it must be a lie. I have met people like him. Trust me that are a true depiction of the Dunning-Kruger complex. |
Workch:You are setting a trap for yourself honestly. He doesn't understand what the Big Bang actually is. If you ask him, He will tell you about an "explosion". That's all he knows lol |
Ammishaddai:There are religions that came before Christianity and where are they now? Chill boss, e go end one day. After all, Islam is on its way to overtaking Christianity as it is now the world's fastest growing religion. |
Dtruthspeaker:You do not know what the Big Bang is, so it's better you accept your ignorance, unless you want to get schooled like we did with the other guy. ![]() |
Workch:Emotional ke? I'm enjoying this actually. I love the way He types out whatever rubbish comes to his mind and goes, "Ah, I have typed something that actually makes sense" ![]() |
Workch:Sometimes I feel he is a troll or something. ![]() |
Ammishaddai:Bitch every fucking religious book claims it was inspired by a certain deity. So who do I accept? Why should I disregard Islam, Judaism, Buddhism and more and focus on yours? What you don't understand is that, religions come and go. You can't even argue with that, because it's a fact. Religions are born and they die. They must eventually die someday and get replaced by something else. |
Ammishaddai:A narrative that tells you that animals talk, is called a fable or a storybook ![]() |
Seriously ask your self this question, what are the odds that the Adam and Eve story (which mentions talking animals btw) is a foundation myth told from generation to generation, some parts of the story were borrowed from other cultures down the line, before it was eventually written down. |
