Some don't really play well with their H. sapiens counterparts. My sweating more from exertion and less ability to flush, coupled with sweating less, and more ability to flush, actually cause me to become overheated easily. I guess he would just be unable to understand recombinant genetics within reproduction as an additional proof of Evolution.

    I think it's important to understand that evolution isn't just upgrading an animal. An animal doesn't choose to develop wings or stronger eyes.

      These structures TEND to persist more than others. And I know you are essentially saying the same thing but I believe a lot of religious people don’t really understand how blind evolution is. They substitute the mind and teleology from the god of their religion into evolution and then assert that it doesn’t make sense based off of doing so. Evolution is not just another system of design used by something with a goal - it’s a series of accidents that eventually produce persisting advantages and humans are the result of that often wasteful, absurd process. This is a point I’ve found deniers aren’t often aware of.

      The Catholic Church is very much into science, since the 1600 century and more so today. Many priests have advanced degrees in many disciplines. The Vatican has two observatories and another in Arizona on a 15,000 foot high mountain. This telescope is the first of its kind in design as well and is highly regarded. Priest astronomers and astrophysicists, plus secular scientists use this telescope as well. Our Gregorian calendar was invented by the Jesuit Order and signed by Pope Gregory to replace the previous faulty calendar ( I’ve forgotten its name ) . The Big Bang idea of the Universe’s beginning was from an Astrophysicist Priest Georges Lemaitre who passed away in the 1990’s from cancer unfortunately. He knew Einstein as well.

It also dismantles the idea of us being created perfectly, since our bodies aren’t perfect, and really challenges the idea that we have so called “souls”

    Back when I was thinking of making more of my terrible videos, the "warning sticker" organized disinformationists were putting on science textbooks was one I planned on addressing, sort of. I was actually thinking of the "warning: this food is a GMO" label that fearmongers were pushing for, but it's the exact same thing. I remember, at the time, reaching for a can of Amp energy drink on my desk, looking at the ingredients list, and finding "sodium hexametaphosphate" on it. Yes, it's been almost ten years and I remember that, no idea how.
    My point was going to be that I _could_ start a campaign to demand that the manufacturers put "Warning: contains sodium hexametaphosphate!" on the cans. But why, though? What does a warning label imply? There's nothing dangerous or remarkable about... I'm not gonna keep writing it, let's just call it Hexy. There's nothing dangerous about Hexy, but the _presence_ of a warning label, by itself, would make people afraid. After all... why would there be a warning if it was harmless?
    If you went to a store and picked up a can and there was a bright red sticker on it that read: "Warning Contains Sodium Hexametaphosphate", what would you do? Put the can back, probably.
    If you pick up completely normal, functional, safe, and inexpensive food and there was a bright red sticker on it that read: "Warning Product of GMOs", what would you do? Think "wow is GM food dangerous or something?" and pick up lower-quality "organic" food at five times the price, because that was the fearmongers' game to destroy their competition and make bank.
    If you pick up a textbook about science and it said "Warning: This Book Contains Facts And Evidence That Lead To A Reality-Based View Of Reality", the only end result would be that anti-intellectual child abusers would get to keep their kids misinformed and indoctrinated, because EXACTLY like the anti-GM crowd, the end goal is to destroy a competitor they stand no change to defeat fairly.
    Back in the real world, evolution is real no matter which superstitious belief about invisible space ghost wizards you happen to be dragged into by unfit parents, genetically-modified food are completely and utterly safe to eat no matter what the peddlers of the *_marketing scheme_* that pretends to be some sort of "healthier alternative" calling themselves "Bio" or "Organic" foods might want you to think, and sodium hexametaphosphate is just some kind of emulsifier used in basically everything you eat and drink that doesn't have dirt on it or come directly from a stream. Seriously, Wikipedia has a _short paragraph_ on its uses as a food additive and I struggle to think of a kind of food that isn't in there.
    Remember McCarthyism? "Don't ask if there are Communists in the White House, ask _how many_ Communists are in the White House, because that implies it's more than zero."
    Don't ask _IF_ there's any reason to put a warning label on basic well-supported scientific ideas, just force a label on there to imply that it's bad so that adults who shouldn't be allowed to have children can get angry for no good reason at things they'll never understand.

    “We should see wings that can’t fly but almost can.” Archaeopteryx had wings that would not be physically possible to support any sort of extended flight, but allowed for some gliding and jumping around. Not as part of some future plan to become birds, but because that sort of approximation of flight was advantageous. Like flying squirrels, they had a sort of “wings that can’t fly but almost can”
    Edit: A lot of y'all are replying and listing birds that evolved flightlessness after their ancestors evolved flight. Penguins, chickens, and ostriches are not examples of this. Their ancestors could fly, and penguins do not approximate flight at all; their wings have adapted to have entirely different purposes. (Sidenote because I'm a nerd: despite ostriches and emus being somewhat closely related, their common ancestor actually could fly and they separately evolved flightlessness)

    The Exodus myth began to unravel when in 1822, French linguist Jean-François Champollion, with the aide of the Rosetta Stone in the British Museum, discovered the secret of deciphering ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. That created the science of Egyptology and set off a wave of archaeological expeditions to Egypt.
    What they found was that the Egyptians had recorded virtually every aspect of Egyptian life; cattle sales, marriage contracts, magical incantations and curses, work details, grocery lists, all the details of daily life. One of the primary aims of those expeditions was to find support for the Exodus story. After many years of searching, it became apparent that there is none.

      Also salamanders in the western United States that develop into distinct unmateable species as you move across changing local environments in the landscape. Over smaller distances they can interbreed but not over longer distances.
      Populations change because the members of the population are born and die, changing the mix according to which survive and reproduce. The individuals are what they are for the span of their lives.

    • @warlordnipple
      @warlordnipple Рік тому

      @Aron Gladden evolution is a system that describes how genetic changes occur in populations over time. Evolution happens when an individual survives to adulthood and reproduces. Whatever allele traits that individual had then gets passed on.
      Why do 99% of humans enjoy eating high calorie food and having sex? Because for most of human existence those traits helped us survive. Humans that don't like sex don't reproduce much, if at all, and don't pass on that allele.

      @Aron Gladden I never said that was my definition for it, nor would creationists agree with it as they think genetic information can only degrade. My explanation provides no degradation or ladder of higher life forms as creationists believe.
      Since you want to play the definition game despite Evolution having clear, widely, available, concrete definitions, here is mine:
      Evolution may be defined as any net directional change or any cumulative change in the characteristics of organisms or populations over many generations-in other words, descent with modification

      That video consisted only of lies and deception and no science.
      Since 100% of every claim that evolutionists have used to promote the story of evolution and since every sentence found in textbooks where they are teaching evolutionism has been proven scientifically to be fraud and/or deception, what I want to know is why you are unable to see the fraud. Never has any evidence been found to show that evolution has ever occurred or even could occur, why do you insist on believing it as your religious belief? It is impossible for you to s how me one honest reason to believe such a myth as evolutionism.
      I guarantee that none of you evolutionists can find any science showing that the story of evolution is true.

    I'm on the side of science. I get the word "theory" in the scientific context, but what really resonated with me for what a "theory" meant in science was when someone put "theory" in the context of music. The "theory" of music is not speculation, it explains why notes and timing sound good. Certain notes vibrate in a sync, timing provides a beat, etc. Music theory is not a guess, it's an explanation of why classcial music is pleasant, why rock, pop, jazz, etc. puts you in a certain mood. In music "theory" does not mean speculation, it means explanation!

They look at the bible accounts and say "Clearly, there is no other logical alternative. Because, it's obviously most likely that these facts line up to prove he ressurected rather than got buried in a communal grave or something. He had to have ressurected" They pick and choose where the evidence leads: towards their claim.

Decorating Christmas trees and feasting during the winter equinox, yule logs gift giving, all things adapted over from Pagans, same with celebrating the spring equinox for Easter.
