Is there such a thing as human evolution anymore?
Question by imrh: Is there such a thing as human evolution anymore?
From my understanding of evolution, it is a product of natural selection and not a predetermined clockwork sort of progress (as in, it’s not like we have something in our genetic makeup that says we’ll just suddenly have bigger brains and no toes in a thousand years). I’m asking if there is such thing a selection anymore? We have basically entered an age where most anyone can find anyone to procreate with and the natural aspects (survival, the ability to provide food, the ability to nominally protect your young, etc..) have been eliminated. I’m not some facist, just someone interested in biology and would like to hear some thoughts. The toes reference before was a starter because I’ve heard that a couple times (as in it would make sense for them to fuse as they serve no purpose) even though I can’t see a situation where certain humans will be sexually selected for having fused toes? Understand? If you do, I would love to hear your thoughts. I guess disease is really it.

I believe that evolution is God’s way of letting His/Her creations sort out their own flaws. He/She may have created us in His/Her own image, but with the knowledge that we were flawed and would always be.
That said, our flaws would always require refinement and improvement. So, God created a chaotic, self-balancing system such that favorable traits would be reinforced, while unfavorable traits would be weeded out. Hence, evolution.
So, natural selection, to me, does not imply the lack of conscious design. God may have set in motion the original design, and let it unfold from there on its own.
So yes, there still is human evolution and there always will be unless our entire species is selected out (a possibility which God saw fit to allow to happen).

“Ida” – THE MISSING LINK OR MISSING SCIENCE? – Evolution is falling apart at the seams!
ICHTHUS FILMS – The definitive ANSWER is in this film! IS Ida our ancestor? Has Evolution FINALLY found the “missing link” You will enjoy this! It seems the SILLY EVOLUTIONISTS are getting more and more desperate. In the face of growing advancements in REAL science technology – evolution is looking like the silly, pseudoscience that it is…more and more. IS this really the BEST they have? 😉 Believe it or not…THEY SAY “YES!” ENJOY!
Music ripped from my copy of the game. Now there aren’t anymore of those stupid voices like in the OST cd xD

Evolution Is Only A Theory
Science & Reason on Facebook: tinyurl.com Evolution Is Only A Theory – Richard Dawkins @ Pop!Tech (Part 3). — Subscribe to Science & Reason: • www.YouTube.com • www.YouTube.com • www.YouTube.com • www.YouTube.com — Richard Dawkins believes sciences ability to admit ignorance is one of its greatest strengths. On the flip side, he proposes that faith remains arrogant and all too certain of its validity without any rational set of proofs.Richard Dawkins is a British ethologist, evolutionary biologist and popular science author. He was formerly Professor for Public Understanding of Science at Oxford University. He was voted Britain’s leading public intellectual by readers of Prospect magazine and was named one of Time Magazine’s “100 Most Influential People” for 2007. Dawkins came to prominence with his 1976 book “The Selfish Gene”, which popularised the gene-centred view of evolution and introduced the term “meme”. He is a prominent critic of creationism and intelligent design. In his 1986 book “The Blind Watchmaker”, he argued against the watchmaker analogy, an argument for the existence of a supernatural creator based upon the complexity of living organisms. Instead, he described evolutionary processes as analogous to a blind watchmaker. He has since written several popular science books, and makes regular television and radio appearances, predominantly discussing these topics. Dawkins is an atheist, secular humanist, sceptic, scientific rationalist, and supporter of …

Is the theory of Unintelligent Design different from Intelligent Design and Evolution? How is it different?
Question by Sean: Is the theory of Unintelligent Design different from Intelligent Design and Evolution? How is it different?
Evolution – man evolved from apes/monkeys, whatever
Intelligent Design – we are so complex we require a creator
Unintelligent Design – we’re screwed up – our creator is stupid.
I propose that if we are to teach children an alternative to Evolution, intelligent design, since Evolution has never been proven a fact, that we also teach the alternative theory of unintelligent design, that we are really screwed up people, created by a “stupid creator”.
I propose this as a non-offensive theory that is different from evolution and intelligent design, both of which have never been proven as fact.
What do you think?

Answer by piraterachel
we’re not ALL screwed up, I think. What about those amazing gymnists that seem almost able to fly with their practically perfect bodies? I wouldn’t consider myself screwed up if I could do that stuff. But, that theory might be depressing for some students, and hilarious for the rest of them. And, it might make them feel like they have a liscense to misbehave more if they are a “stupid creation” in their own minds. Cheers Imzarray

Intelligent Design is falsifiable, stupid – Evolution Isn’t!
Michael Behe: “ID is very open to falsification. I claim, for example, that the bacterial flagellum could not be produced by natural selection. It needed to be deliberately intelligently designed. Well, all the scientist has to do to prove me wrong is to take a bacterium without a flagellum, or knock out the genes of the flagellum in a bacterium, go into his lab, and grow that bug for a long time, and see if it produces anything resembling a flagellum. If that happens, ID, as I understand it, would be knocked out of the water. Now, I don’t certainly expect it to happen, but it’s easily falsified by a series of such experiments.” “Now, let’s turn that around and ask how do we falsify the contention that natural selection produced the bacterial flagellum. If that same scientist went into the lab and knocked out the bacterial flagellum genes and grew it through the bacterium for a long time, and nothing much happened, “Well”, he can say, “Maybe we didn’t start with the right bacterium. Maybe we didn’t wait long enough. Maybe we need a bigger population.” And it would be very much difficult to falsify the Darwinian hypothesis. I think the very opposite is true. I think ID is easily testable, easily flasifiable, although it has not been falsified, and Darwinism is very resistant to being falsified. They can always claim something was not right.” Quote comes from this DVD: www.amazon.com Could the flagellum have evolved?: intelligentdesign.podomatic.com More on Intelligent …

This present-day version of God of the gaps goes by a fresh name: intelligent design. The term suggests that some entity, endowed with a mental capacity far greater than the human mind can muster, created or enabled all the things in the physical world that we cannot explain through scientific methods. An interesting hypothesis. But why confine ourselves to things too wondrous or intricate for us to understand, whose existence and attributes we then credit to a superintelligence? Instead, why not tally all those things whose design is so clunky, goofy, impractical, or unworkable that they reflect the absence of intelligence? And what comedian designer configured the region between our legs-an entertainment complex built around a sewage system? Stupid design could fuel a movement unto itself. It may not be nature’s default, but it’s ubiquitous. Yet people seem to enjoy thinking that our bodies, our minds, and even our universe represent pinnacles of form and reason. Maybe it’s a good antidepressant to think so. But it’s not science-not now, not in the past, not ever. ~Neil Tyson fora.tv Commonwealth Club of California San Francisco, CA Feb 9th, 2007 Neil deGrasse Tyson talks about Death By Black Hole And Other Cosmic Quandaries Free (mp4) Download: fora.tv
