      @Gaming Gator Adapting only gets you so far. Creationists actually love rapid evolution, as that’s how we explain the existence of the species today from the low populations on Noah’s ark. We simply recognize that adaptations are shuffling of existing information, epigenetic switches, or reductions in information. We realize that adaptations are ultimately limited and deleterious.

    Interesting about the finches. Seems like the different "species" on the island weren't fully speciated yet, that's why the various birds could breed with Big.
    Another fast-evolution event that's been seen recently is in commercially-harvested fish. At least one species has evolved to come to sexual maturity while still under the "throw back" limit...

      Species is technically a categorization we construct. Mother nature doesn't care. Grizzly bears and polar bears are distinct species by all normal standards yet they can breed with eachother and produce offspring that can also reproduce. Similarly with beluga whales and narwhal, yet we consider them different species. The major factors that limit the ability for two closely related species to reproduce is chromosome matching. Hence why donky and horse create infertile mules, they have two different chromosome counts.
      But how we define differences in species is not exclusive to chromosomes. Even different mating rituals can significantly limit hybridization because they can't "whoo" eachother even if they are genetically compatible which is why the finch lineage only mated within its own group, they had no other pressures to go outside their own inbred family, unlike the patriarchal founder who literally had no other options.

      The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: REPENT YE, AND BELIEVE THE GOSPEL.
      THE GOSPEL (which means the Good News) is the news that God Almighty, the Creator came in the flesh as Jesus Christ to take away the sin of the world. He gave up his own life to save ours. His sacrifice on the cross paid the price for our redemption with his own blood. On the third day he rose from dead and offers the gift of salvation and forgiveness to those that repent and trust in him.
      John 1:1,14
      In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and THE WORD WAS GOD. [14] And THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, and dwelt among us,
      Isaiah 9:6
      For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty GOD, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
      John 1:10
      He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and THE WORLD KNEW HIM NOT.
      John 20:28-29
      And Thomas answered and said unto him, MY LORD AND MY GOD. [29] Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
      Are you saved friend? If you died tonight will you go to heaven or hell?
      Acts 16:30-31
      ...what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
      Luke 24:47
      And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
      Acts 4:12
      Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Since only environmental shifts (which can be as insignificant of a dryer month than usual to as drastic as a whole new species migrating there) will induce natural selection between specimen able and unable to cope with the shift.

    "Adaptation" and evolution are the same damn thing. These small changes become much bigger over large amounts of time. If you think these two concepts are separate, it's because you think there's invisible limits to a lifeform's ability to "adapt", or because you understand "adaptation" as an active motive from the animal. Neither is the case. The only factor is how much each individual, with their slightly changed features, is likely to reproduce. You play this game of chances and statistics over millions of years and lifeforms will slowly but surely evolve.

      They were no longer fruitflies, they died when reintroduced to fruit because they were no longer able to process it. They didn't even mingle or mate with fruit flies. At that point, they had branched off down a new path.
      So when a finch can no longer eat seeds and nuts because it has a beak specialized for bugs, most would say that this finch had evolved to take advantage of its environment. But to you, this is simply an adaptation. Meaning there is no reason to consider that these birds are becoming a new species.
      Adaptation would be a bird using fur instead of sticks to build its nest during a cold snap, that bird has adapted a method to deal with the changing climate. If that bird has to change how its body processes food to go from eating bugs to eating carrion, fish, small prey or seeds and is no longer capable of processing its original diet, than they are evolving.
      If the fruitflies learned how to extract sugars from a starch heavy food, that would be an adaptation. To process that starch as its food instead of fruit sugars is a method of evolution. It's worth noting that starch can be converted in to sugar, but to develop their biology to do that means they can no longer process the straight sugar of a fruit. Over time they can convert back over a matter of generations, but no one bug is going to dynamically adapt depending on what food you place before it. Fruit flies should not, in my understanding, be able to convert something in to sugar since they have no need for such a mechanism. They have to evolve a method to deal with a strained environment where fruit is becoming more scarce.

    Thanks Trey. You’re the voice of reason.
    I’ve never understood why creationists feel the need to drive a wedge between the scientific community and the religious community. If one believes that God is all powerful and can do anything, why could not God use the tool of evolution as well as the tool of environmental catastrophe to change the history of the earth? If that’s what you believe, then, of course God could. I don’t see any dichotomy between the scientific system of physical knowledge and religious systems of spiritual knowledge.

      Yeah, unfortunately the people pushing creationism don’t actually care about evolution or god/spirituality. They just want to use it as a wedge issue to promote their less palatable ultra conservative and Christian nationalist views. I’m an atheist but I recognize that religion/spirituality is an important part of many people’s lives and it’s sad that the leaders of the creationism movement have convinced so many of their followers that in order to adequately practice their religion they have to reject science. When as you said, that isn’t necessary.

      I have family members who are young earth creationists, and every creationist I have had a conversation with about evolution believes that all animal life was created as God intended, and is immutable. There are certain beliefs that they hold that to them are incontrovertible truths. The contention that all animal life that exists today was made by God and unchanged from the moment of its creation and is unchanging is one of them. This remains a tenet of their religion and to refute it is seen as a direct attack on their religion.

      I still know evolution is a fact but instaces like this just make me confused because it leaves me with an important question. Where are the random mutations?
      If evolution is done over a period of time through trial and error through random mutation, how is this possible?
      Could this imply evolution is more simple process with some sort of formula? Ive read so many works on evolution and ive been getting into quantum theory (quantum biology specifically) and it seems as if it could be possible that something else is happening rather than random mutation.
      I would like to write a fully fleshed out theory but here is a summary:
      Rather than evolution being a series of successful random mutations, evolution is actually entirely pre-determined.
      A dramatic change in environment for a species that can adapt to the change, will obviously be changing his behaviors in order to survive. Through these environmental and behaviorial changes, the brain starts behaving different as well and when this happens, *the brain decides to change the DNA of the species* over time to better handle the new setting. Because *once the mind and body have adapted, the DNA starts to change to reflect those mind and body changes more accurately.* This then starts causing the species offspring to start exhibiting physical traits that can be used to take better advantage of the species surrounding evironment.
      There is some evidence to this as well. There is an instance of an identical twin going into space and coming back with different DNA from his identical twin. Why did this happen? Because when he went into space, the zero gravity *environment caused his brain to react and force his DNA to change to better reflect that environment.*
      If this were to be true, then it could it be possible to harness that unconscious aspect of the brain in order to force a genetic mutation onto another species? Could this imply that not only do survival aspects of oneself change but so do the sexual/cultural/ritualistic aspects of a species also evolve because of this? Example: male bird color looking more saturated and vibrant as evolution progresses because their minds seek that sexual trait in order to reproduce.
      I think evolution of life is a self perfecting formula put into practice. Life is the canvas of this formula. If there is no will or reason to change, a species will stay stagnant in evolution for extremely long periods of time. This is why "living fossil" species exist. They are technically perfect in their ability to survive where they exist.
      What are your thoughts on that?

    • @charliepfeiffer2589
      @charliepfeiffer2589 6 років тому +8

      Yes, and no. Smaller populations have a smaller genetic pool resulting in less possible genetic diversity this is similar to an idea called the founders effect, but with a population that has restricted energy, ie an island there is a larger fight for energy going on, causing a larger need for adaptation. The smaller populations in an area with more energy would however continue to grow and become genetically diverse that way. With islands, there is limited energy causing the population to plateau and the only option of the organisms is to fight for energy rather than expand and find a new source of energy.
      P.s not sure if this is right this is all i learned from 9th grade bio

    • @disneybunny45
      @disneybunny45 6 років тому

      Not necessarily. If the environment on the island remains stable and there are no mass deaths, the gene pool should remain fairly unchanged. But if the environment is unstable, more deaths, and genetic mutations that cause changes to an individual's phenotype (white fur vs black fur, ability to digest plant matter) then there will be changes to the gene pool, possibly resulting in evolution.
      And what everyone else said is true too.
