How did Panda Bears Evolve
After all they are Marsupials and not real Bears.
They serve no purpose.
You cannot ride them like a Camel or horse.
People do not eat them for food.
They are restricted to eating only Euchaliptus leaves .
Then what is their purpose

You, first of all, are thinking of Koalas. They looked kinda like bears to the people who found 'em. And your arrogance is astounding, but you're arguing more against Creationism. If the animals were all created, they would have a 'puropose'. Evolution doesn't give a rats ass whether or not humans can 'use' an animal.
Prick.
How is this an argument AGAINST evolution? If every thing was created for a purpose, then why would god create the "panda", which by the way is not the animal you described. I believe you're thinking of the koala. You know what, I'm just going to call you a moron then just call it day.
What is their purpose indeed, Mr. Intelligent Design??
Evolution isn't based on goals or purposes, it's trying everything you can through a greedy algorithm until you find a niche with food and sex in it, where you can survive.
Evolution has nothing to do with purpose, not on the scale of species.
You're "thinking" (and I use the term loosely) of the KOALA.
Koalas, not pandas. You lose right there, but let me humour you a bit more.
What do you mean by purpose? Beneficial to humans in some way? I really think you do not quite 'get' this evolution thing. My guess would be: homeschooled?
A species having no "purpose" is better evidence for evolution, not creationism. You guys are the ones claiming that everything was designed to serve man. Congrats on scoring in your own net there, pal.

They aren't marsupials, they are mammals. Fail #1
Not all mammals are suitable for riding. For example, common house cat. Fail #2
The Chinese used to eat them, but now, with so few, they are a protected species. Fail #3
Panda Bears eat bamboo, not Eucalyptus. Fail #4
What's your purpose, besides dismal failures all the time?
This happens to me all the time - I confuse pandas with koalas with grizzlies with kitty cats with moths with scorpions.
Sometimes the confusion can be kinda funny - Just the other day my cat (koala?) was chasing a moth (flying skunk?) and I was yelling: "Get that platypus, get that armadillo!"
Well, my kitty (lemur?) caught that flying bison (gazelle?) and ate it!
Then, I felt really bad. I was thinking that my kitty (dromedary?) had eaten an endangered species (spotted owl?).
Fortunately, I smoked some "Euchaliptus" leaves (From Iceland?; From Australia?; Where's a Dictionary?) and I felt a whole lot better.
Currently, our house is experiencing an invasion of ants (termites?; hobbits?; mastodons?). Any suggestions - Other than prayer???
Koala mix-up aside, where did you get it into your head that evolution only exists to provide humans with useful things? Evolution isn't centric to humanity, that's what your Intelligent Design hypothesis says.
Also, as others have said, if you're using something that supposedly doesn't have a purpose to disprove evolution, you're shootin' yourself in the foot by providing evidence that something wasn't "intelligently created."
Moron.
I finally get to quote Lore Sjoberg* on here!
"Koala bears only eat one thing, day in and day out. I had the same experience with instant ramen in college, so I can really identify with these prototypical tree-huggers. Koalas look cuddly, but I am led to understand that they're actually irritable, solitary beasts who do not want belly rubs. What kind of mocking god created creatures with poofy ears and big black noses that don't want belly rubs?"
*The "o" is supposed to have an umlaut over it, but I can't do one on my cell phone browser.
Just because no one else has said it yet...
They are restricted to eating only Euchaliptus leaves .
That makes me a very sad panda.
@Nowonmai They aren't marsupials, they are mammals. Fail #1
Um, marsupials are mammals, too.
It would be more accurate to say they aren't marsupials, they are placentals.

Nearly choked on my lunch. Funniest thing I've read all year. Thanks DinDC!
You could make the same points about gnats.
After all, they are insects, not real giraffes, and they have six legs (not four).
How did the gnat evolve? Has it evolved, or was it always like that?
It serves no apparent purpose, although some gnats might have a job and a sense of self-worth.
You can't ride a gnat (it's far too small, and tends to buck).
We don't eat them for food (what other purpose would eating have?) because you'd need billions of them just for a decent snack.
What do gnats eat? Do they eat at all, or do they just annoy people until they (the gnats) die?
Then what is their purpose?
Pandas are related to real bears, but are a (nearly) monophagous vegetarian form. They eat bamboo.
Koalas are marsupials. They eat eucalyptus.
The purpose of a species is to survive. Being useful to man is not a consideration.
Last time I was in Australia, we rode pandas all over the place and used them to keep the Euchaliptus bushes neat and tidy.
You fail at biology, geography, spelling and plain fucking common sense.
A panda's purpose is to eat bamboo shoots and make little pandas, just like yours is to read the bible and make little fundies.
First of all, you're describing koalas.
And just so you know, CUTENESS IS IT'S OWN PURPOSE!!!!!11!eleven!1
Let me guess. You believe anything on this Earth that has no discernible HUMAN purpose therefore has no purpose.
Arrogant, ignorant bastard.
"Then what is their purpose"
To reproduce and spread their genes for the good of the Panda genetic pool. Same as your "purpose" is to do so for the human species, unfortunately.
How very arrogant to believe anything evolves for OUR purpose? I ask you this. Why would your God have created them, if we are the centerpiece of his creation, since they serve no purpose to us? Hmmmm?
Pandas are damn cute, that's their fucking purpose.
Oh, and it's the Koala that eats Eucalyptus leaves. Pandas eat bamboo.
I'm tempted to do a panda lolcats picture with the caption "I CAN HAZ EUCHALIPTUS?"... This is the first fundie quote I've submitted to this site and I feel like I've given something wonderful to the world. Giving something back to the community.
...and just in case you're wondering, this guy is not a troll. He posts shit like this all the time.
My whole office has now heard me spluttering and giggling for at least half an hour now. First it was the post, then the comments. You guys fucking kill me, you kill me dead.
Koalas are the sleepiest, crankiest, most lovely little bastards you'll ever see. We used to have one named Sparticus in the bush behind my house.
Ahahaha.
No, see, YOU are the ones who seem to think that creatures have a purpose. Evolution does not require anything to have a purpose. Evolution doesn't plan.
You also seem to be confusing pandas with koalas, which makes me chortle.
How did fundies Evolve
After all they are idiots and not real people.
They serve no purpose(other than mistaking Pandas for Koalas).
You cannot ride them like a Camel or horse.
People do not eat them for food.
They are restricted to bible thumping and failing.
Then what is their purpose?
Panda, Koala, whatever.
Idiot.
I laughed in the facing of a charging elephant once....
....I thought it was a mouse.
BTW, what's with capitalising Camel? Do you ride cigarettes?
OMEGA has confused the Giant Panda and the Koala. But it happens that the answer to the question is the same for both: there was a large food source that nothing was eating. The animals' ancestors started eating the plants (bamboo for the Panda, eucalyptus for the koala). Over time, their offspring that were better able to survive on that diet came to dominate, and a new species developed.
And, of course, the main purpose of most animals is to make more animals.
Well well, guess who came to shit in the punch bowl again. Our ol'd buddy MS.
And OMEGA (by the way, writing that in all caps makes you look like a belligerent ass): The purpose of koalas and pandas is...nothing. Although since it seems to make your brain fry just thinking about it, I suppose in a way their purpose is to annoy the living hell outta you. Which, in turn, serves a purpose by entertaining the sane people of the world.
How did Panda Bears Evolve
You spelled koala wrong.
After all they are Marsupials and not real Bears.
Which has to do with how they evolved
what?
They serve no purpose.
Again, what has that to do with how they evolved?
You cannot ride them like a Camel or horse.
People do not eat them for food.
They are restricted to eating only Euchaliptus leaves .
Then what is their purpose
All of which has, again, nothing to do with your question.
Koalas are an offshoot species of Drop Bear, evolved for the niche of eating leaves instead of tourists. It is however no less deadly when provoked.
Its purpose is to make foolish Americans think that Drop Bears are a myth, thus leaving them off guard when they go hiking in the bush...
Panda bears evolved the same way as all other life-forms; random mutations and natural selections.
What purpose do humans serve? Except destroying the Earth, that is...

When the chronometer in the LEM 'Eagle' malfunctioned, Neil Armstrong elected to leave his Omega Speedmaster on board as it's onboard clock. Buzz Aldrin kept his on, as the mission chronometer when they did the all-important EVAs on the Moon, to monitor the time allowed on the Moon's surface, to keep to the strict schedule, as dictated by the onboard oxygen supply/battery power. So, although Armstrong was first man to set foot on another world, Aldrin's Speedmaster was the first watch on the Moon.
Thus these Omegas served an ultra-important purpose. Unlike you .
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
