True, thats the problem, I mean we still have apes, what happened to them, they don't evolve anymore?
Just think for a minute, if religion is wrong, and morals came from religion then they are wrong as well, and thats not how the world should work anymore.
who says they don't evolve? evolution doesn't have to be as obvious as a sore thumb, it can be just as hidden. Why do we have a tailbone, but no tail? it can be explained that we did use to have tails which helped us with trees, but as the trees became more and more scarce, we had to settle for walking. Since tails weren't necessary, it began to get smaller and smaller. Same with appendix. Evolution made it more useless because we now eat healthier food/cleaner food. Answer this first: is there really any need for any primates to evolve, especially humans? at least rapidly or visibly? I think not as they're thriving, and humans are the most dominant species on Earth.
Morals can be wrong, depending on who's thinking that. There are still people who'd believe in morals. The way it you're reacting, it's as if you think the end of religion means end of the civilized world and people will go apeshit crazy and kill, rob, rape, and etc. People do that now, even with religion. Humanity will kill itself, not religion or lack of.
despite our intelligence, our look to each other will change, and you will longer look at your fellow human and his freedom as don't trespass, but rather just a mere animal with a brain.
BTW what do you guys have to say about the crusifixion of jesus, I mean we muslims believe he wasn't crusified and he was raised to heaven, and instead someone was crusified in his stead, which why christianity is wrong, because if jesus didn't die then all there will be no salvation.
I already do that, to be honest. Humans are animals, mammals to be exact. our arrogance is what makes us think we're different from other animals when that's so not the case. most of us think we're free, but we're not. Humans restrict freedom, mostly average citizens. Homosexuals can't really be entirely free because they will be attacked for being different. it was the same for black people long ago in America; they were denied basic freedom because of different color. It's just the laws were passed and black people actually proved they were no different from the white people that they began to gain as much freedom as the whites, but even then the freedom isn't as much. they're more likely to get stereotyped by the cops.
To be short, there is NO such thing as freedom, no matter where you are. Why? Humans' intelligence takes away such aspect.
If Jesus got crucified, he got crucified. He may as well been a charismatic leader like Buddha, Mohammad, Moses, and etc whose ideals may have caused other groups to fear him and his followers, thus killing him. Jesus may have been a great man whose legend became greatly exaggerated (yet makes for good jokes, like when Jesus said he had water but changed it to wine to avoid being yelled at since he was the designated driver in an online comic). It may be the same with Moses... either he never really split the sea apart or some phenomena happened or he made the people say or think that he really did split the sea apart.
For an ape to become a man theoretically he must mutate only 1 % of DNA. At first you might not think this is very significant, remember the mutations have to be exactly the order of human person. It is estimated that for 1% difference only one million mutations are needed. How can one have a million mutations with each mutation in the direct order to make a human.
It's not really as easy as you make it look like. The DNA would have to match the DNA of human, even then it's still not likely as even humans don't have the same DNA. Mutations in DNA/genes occur, and it is passed on to the offspring, even more likely if the mutation allows easier survival in the environment.
Let's say we have two species of primates in the forest. Let's call one species Luffy and one species Goku. they have tails, are able to walk on all four limbs, and are hunched over- their body giving them an advantage in their environment. Now, out of nowhere, the forest gets wiped out. Luffy and Goku are now dying because their advantages are gone because they don't have trees to protect themselves with. However, a mutation happens to two species in Luffy, whom we shall call Zoro and Robin. Zoro's mutation in genes allow him to stand straighter, whereas Robin's mutation allows her to walk on just her legs and makes her hands smaller. This helps them survive because Zoro has better view over distance and can more likely see the enemies and run away quicker. Robin can run while being able to make more precise tools in her hands to help her get away from the enemy. About 42 members of Luffy die, leaving only 74.
Now, Robin and Zoro mate, and three out of eighteen of their offspring get the mutation to stand up straighter, have smaller hands for precision, and be able to walk on two limbs. This increases their chances of survival because they are able to deal with the environment and enemies accordingly, whereas others with no mutation or unfavorable mutation dies out. Slowly, more and more offspring get the trait, which refines itself as it passes down, until the descendants generations later can stand completely straight, have small hands that can be extremely precise in making tools, and walk only on two limbs. Since the mutations enabled them to survive, they were able to pass it on whereas the others died out because they couldn't come up with genes to make them be able to adapt to the environment. Goku has no descendant due to this, whereas Robin and Zoro's descendants are part of Luffy but most likely different species altogether. this is how a human can be made, slowly with the genes changing itself for better within each passing generation.
And here is the catch evolution is considered as a continuous process. So why don't we have any transitional species (the popular ones like the intermediates between ape and man) in the society today?
As evolution is a continuous process, then the evolution from ape to man should continue and that mean every era these creatures should be present, rather we see well defined genomes present.
Maybe we do, but we can't easily see it. Bigfoot could exist for all we know. maybe transitional species have died out, maybe we do have some we don't know it or notice it. Maybe we ARE the transitional species.
Evolution doesn't happen the way you think it does. It can be pretty slow or it can be a bit rapid. Evolution isn't as apparent in humans because it's dominant and has no need to have mutations to adapt to the environment, especially with better brain. Evolution is more apparent when the species itself is in danger and nearly extinct.
And i did mention the odds to form a DNA the primordial era of the earth was brazen with excessive high temperatures that would not have facilitated life. Therefore the total 4.5 billion years want used for the development of the genomes.
No, the high temperature may have helped. the first bacteria was probably made through series of chemical reactions, but it was never living. However, the Earth's volatile situation at the time made it possible because the nonliving bacteria may have floated to the sky in bubble and struck by lightning, which made it living and I think become the first amino acid? this experiment has been done before and it's been successful, if I recall right. I think Urey and Miller were the scientists who conducted this experiment? Plus, many bacterias thrive in extremely hot temperature and in environment with no oxygen.
Lets take the second option . A research was done to justify the claim and it was found that for a monkey to randomly type and produce:TO BE OR NOT TO BE; an independent pattern of English grammar and Shakespearean play it will take it 28 billion years. How old is this universe (forget earth) a bit more than 14 billion years.. Now to form DNA and RNA (some microbes depends on RNA rather than DNA , but they use Lygase and other enzymes but those are mumbo jumbos not needed here

) which has an independent pattern of life and self replicating units and the intricate design how long do you think it will take?
to be honest, i find that to be pretty stupid for a research. The monkey does NOT need to learn English grammar or Shakespeare, at all. it's not fundamental to its survival as species so of course it'll take so long for that to happen, if it does. We're able to do it because environment forced us to do so.
the chances for those are higher than the chances to form the 20 necessary amino acids and the DNA strand and RNA. The probability of assembling the genome is between 4-180 to 4-110,000 and 4-360 to 4-110,000.
It depends on the environment. The environment back then made it possible for amino acids to come to live, and for DNA and RNA to be formed. If I recall right though, DNA came way after RNA.
ok please just answer these following questions:
1. Where did the space for the universe come from?
2. Where did matter come from?
3. Where did the laws of the universe come from ?
4. How did matter get so perfectly organized?
5. Where did the energy come from to do all the organizing?
6. When, where, why, and how did life come from dead matter?
7. When, where, why, and how did life learn to reproduce itself?
8. With what did the first cell capable of sexual reproduction reproduce?
If you understand evolution as you say, I'm sure this simple questions wouldn't make a diffrence, so please, you who understand evolution, enlighten us.
6. Life may have come from chemical reactions, which produced the first nonliving cell. then the environment enabled the cell to live by hitting it with lightning.
7. It doesn't need to learn. It can be an automatic thing. It'd be likely to be built in the brain/DNA of the species in order to necessitate its survival. the cells first reproduced asexually though.
8. With each other?
Answer me this. If matter has had to come from something, then so did god. Where did he come from? Despite his power, even he can't have existed out of nothingness or just be there. Where did god came from and why, how, and when did he come? Where did he get the powers to do what he supposedly can?
the universe is in a space, where did that space come from ? the big bang happened in a space, it can't happen in a nothing. do you get me now rofl ?
free your mind, just think beyond, the universe, there has to be a start point somewhere and it can't come from nothingness.
Same can be applied with god. God had to have a starting point somewhere and can't come from nothingness. his powers can't come from nothingness.
