" was wondering about the mechanisms for evolution. Even though no evoultion has taken place in the past 6,000 years,"
ehmm
LUL WHAT?!
it HAS.
in fact IS ALLWAYS HAPPENING.
as long as there is life on earth, there is evolution.
not only that we have direct and indirect OBSERVED instances of speciation.
gj at outlining you ignorance of the concept YET AGAIN.
(*srly contact me via Ymail, i RLY feel obliged to clear up you misconceptions)
"it claims to hide behind billions and billions of years."
"hide behind"?
you mean it's observable in the fossil record?
"What would the theory of evolution look like if the earth was only 6,000 years old?"
wow, im not touching this, for starters.
how was the earht formed? has life yet developed?
eithe rclear up those, and other issues
(like saying "how would the theory look of the GOD HAD created the earth 6000 years ago in it's present form and put all the major bodyplans in place, both is livign organism and in the millions of fossils he hid in a particular order in the ground, whihc he ALSO organized in particular layers?"
now THAT i feel i can answer.)
"Since the beginning of time, nothing has "evolved" into another kind of animal."
FOSSIL record.
not only that, WHAT do you mean by :kind", srly, please DEFINE this term.
"What proof is there of evolution?"
what? you mean how can we say it happens? or what evidence do we have for the current model?
because i can answer the fact real simple:
life forms consist of replicators.
the replication process isnt' perfect.
organism are subject to changing environmental factors.
the mutations can express themselves in organims.
POW, evolution is a attribute of all living things (ofc also viruses, though they aren't really "alive" in the sence that organism are).
and POW evolution is a fact.
"(since it miraculousy lacks any observational medium). "
speciation in oserved in labs and by biologist in the field.
me 1 you 0
"But as we have already discovered radiometric dating is the furthest thing from reliable"
no it is not.
ask a physisist why.
" 'bones in the dirt"
lawl if that's what you think fossils are...you are sorely mistaken.
NO BONE, or to the hovinds: "THERE'S NO FU*&ING CARBON IN IT!"
not only that, the bones are QUITE resiliant in certain soils, ofc not in acidic soild, like marshes, the bones just disolve there, but in certain sotrs of soils bones can intact for quite some time. which mean...we preserve collagen...
"Bones in dirt + years of erosion, weathering and damage + other bone diseases + intentional tampering and misrepresentation"
and you're prolably referring to neanderthals aren't you?
they were NOT old people wiht arthritis, wiki it if you don't believe me.
"Oddly enough, becomes more than convincing for someone who craves evolution to be true."
UCH* IRONY ALERT, UCH*
"What would evolution look like if life did not exist on other planets?"
exactly the same.
even if this where the only planet to sustain life, ToE would stil be an accurate way to explain it's diversity.
uless you are referrign to soemthign else when you say "evolution"...
"Hmmm... life hasn't been found on any other planet."
......SLRY.....
i'm not even going to adress the this one...it's just to fucking stupid.
