Can one person observe "evolution"?
I can make assumptions about Nature and how it works, But i cant live long enough to observe "evolution" So....What Darwins Saw was Some animals that were like other animals but adapted to their enviroment....Is that evolution....nah I dont think so...I think thats God being smart enough to make life adaptible. Darwin NEVER saw a Dinosaur turn into a Swallow....nor any other lifefoem change into a new species....
Look how we as a species can adapt to almost any enviroment in just a few generations...Thats not evolution....the American Indians didnt become a new type of human....They just adapted.....Adaptation I beleave in....Evolution is as real as Trolls, Hobbits and Elves....

and the centre of the earth doesnt exist....noones ever seen it....the only people who say it does are scientists....theyve never seen it....they jsut say its there.....they just say they've had magnetic resonance images..........................i think thats just God being smart enough to make us happy thinking the earth is round...............................................................................................................................................
Fuck you! Don't try to defile His Noodly Goodness with your cheap knock-off names and useless drivel tracts. Thomas Aquinas couldn't make any arguement besides that pedantic bullshit, and he was considered very intelligent in his time. You, however...
Can a mod please get this garbage out of here?
Adaptation is part of evolution.
What's with this random capitalization?
You can use three dots after each other once, to show you are not ending the sentence, sort of.
Um, even if a dinosaur could theoretically evolve into a swallow, it would take at LEAST hundreds of years, depending on the kind of dinosaur.
And as for observing evolution, you actually CAN observe it in your own lifetime, under the right conditions. Evolution doesn't require that a brand new species pop up.
OK stupid, since the American Indians have lived in the continent for over 15000 years and we've been here for 500 why aren't we Indians yet?
I'll tell you why, because all those adaptations of racial characteristics were within seperated populations. Exactly what evolution predicts. Since Darwin these differences and similarities have been used to map human migrations and guess what? The further away and longer seperations produce more difference.
This isn't only an aspect of Evolution, it's proof of scientific varification, as it was predicted before it was fully catalogued and stands vindicated to this day.
Change over time, influenced by enviroment and diet. Irrufutable variation of species.
As for Trolls, Hobbits and Elves,,,They could have some historical basis behind them as many small humanoids have been discovered that died out 40.000 to 100,000 years ago. In other words they may have more validity than the Bible
I believe in grammar and spelling, and the English language.
We can observe bacteria evolve into nylon eating bacteria. We can observe bacteria evolve resistance to antibiotics. That's just two examples of evolution happening right now.
The Native Americans are still Native Americans. For humans it will take hundreds of thousands of years to evolve into another kind of human. Both the Native Americans and the Caucasians are still Homo Sapiens Sapiens, in the Great Ape group.
(Oops, sorry. I had already commented on this one. Oh, well, at least I didn't repeat myself that much...)

Well, trolls are plenty real. Hell, I'm reading something written by one right now, it's at the top of this page here.
"But i cant live long enough to observe "evolution" So" MAGIC!
Sadly pointing out the one obvious reason one can't directly observe evolution in an average work a day life, time, then dismissing it as a factor.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
