Let's debate Evolution

I’m known for controversial statements, so how’s this: Evolution is NOT a religious belief. [Ooooo] Debates about evolution do not belong in the “Let’s Debate Religion” threads.

The current issue is: Has evolution stopped? Is it speeding up? What role will the extinction of humans have on the progress of evolution?

Some suggest that as the Earth heats up with global warming, evolution also speeds up (until it stops altogether).

What do you think?

[I]Woo…
Im ahead, Im a man
Im the first mammal to wear pants, yeah
Im at peace with my lust
I can kill cause in God I trust, yeah
Its evolution, baby

Im at piece, Im the man
Buying stocks on the day of the crash
On the loose, Im a truck
All the rolling hills, Ill flatten em out, yeah
Its herd behavior, uh huh
Its evolution, baby

Admire me, admire my home
Admire my song, heres my coat
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
This land is mine, this land is free
Ill do what I want but irresponsibly
Its evolution, baby

Im a thief, Im a liar
Theres my church, I sing in the choir:
(hallelujah hallelujah)

Admire me, admire my home
Admire my song, admire my clothes
cause we know, appetite for a nightly feast
Those ignorant indians got nothin on me
Nothin, why?
Because, its evolution, baby!

I am ahead, I am advanced
I am the first mammal to make plans, yeah
I crawled the earth, but now Im higher
Twenty-ten, watch it go to fire
Its evolution, baby (2x)
Do the evolution
Come on, come on, come on[/I]

Evolution isn’t scientific fact.

No need for a debate. I already know it’s wrong and I don’t care what anyone else thinks.

Hasn’t this topic been discussed b4?? :thinking:

I’m pretty sure it has, but can’t remember when or where i saw it.

I actually don’t really mind how humans came to be. Just as long as I am able to ride a unicycle, I’m cool with what I am

Sorry for the crosspost, but this situation calls for the image. Again.

i don’t even try to convince people any more that god didn’t create shit, or anything else for that matter, i know that evolution is correct and that is good enough for me. But i am willing to tell creationists they are wrong, i harassed one so much i made her cry :slight_smile: (god didn’t try and stop me, i wonder why :roll_eyes: )

It is had been all, but proved 100% real. It basically is. I there is a magical divine power that took dirt and clay made a ball and said hey I should make little tiny things to walk around on it and eventually kill themselves off?

How else would he get his shits and giggles?

Wow you have an open mind! Serious you would be good at arguing.

Wooo go Pearl Jam. I love the film clip for that song.

Btw, evolution is the way to go. All the evidence is there. And come on, big guy in the sky makes everything. And also, if I were God, The first thing I’d make is light. According to the bible, he made the heavens and the earth in complete darkness. First thing I would think is “woah, lets get some lights here.” (Thanks Ricky Gervais for that one.)

my friend figured out that the bible is scientifically wrong due to the fact that he didn’t make light before he made earth and we know for a fact that there are stars older than the earth. There was also some math involved ill try to get it from and ill post it

Evolution takes millions of years to be completed. I don’t think it will just stop.

Duh it is wrong. I am not saying people who believe in it are anything. I am just saying some people of a weaker mind set (criminals) need to think that a magical floating man way up there is watching them and is ruler to be functional. Seriously also what way is up what way is down in the universe there is no up or down.

Hopefully it won’t take much longer!!

I’m dieing to see it!! The trailer looks crunk.

i believe in evolution, to me it seems pretty natural. But we wont ever see it thats kinda the point. However theres a hell lot more evidence for evolution than there is for god. We can at least say that for sure :stuck_out_tongue:

took me ages to get that. i read it, then got off the comp. cos i had to go somewhere, then a few mins later i was like, oh i get it… hahaha

Some scientists think it was the unicycling monkey that first evolved into a human.

But as far as humans go, I think we’re the end of the line, right?

Evolution is going in reverse (as far as humans go). Actually, I’m not sure I believe that, but these days, just about anyone can live long enough to reproduce and spread their genes and pass down their ideas like a virus. Repeal the helmet laws! Relaese some dangerous wild animals into our cities! Abolish the speed limits! Close the shelters… if you can’t feed yourself, you DIE! Let’s put some danger back into our society!

Take a listen: The Idiots are Taking Over, by NOFX

(note: the video itself is not by NOFX and I didn’t pay much attention to the imagery. I posted the link just so you can hear this great song.)

[I]Its not the right time to be sober
Now the idiots have taken over
Spreading like a social cancer, is there an answer?

Mensa membership conceding
Tell me why and how are all the stupid people breeding
Watson, its really elementary
The industrial revolution
Has flipped the bitch on evolution
The benevolent and wise are being thwarted, ostracized, what a bummer
The world keeps getting dumber
Insensitivity is standard and faith is being fancied over reason

Darwin’s rollin over in his coffin
The fittest are surviving much less often
Now everything seems to be reversing, and its worsening
Someone flopped a steamer in the gene pool
Now angry mob mentality’s no longer the exception, its the rule
And I’m startin’ to feel a lot like Charlton Heston
Stranded on a primate planet
Apes and orangutans that ran it to the ground
With generals and the armies that obeyed them
Followers following fables
Philosophies that enable them to rule without regard

Theres no point for democracy when ignorance is celebrated
Political scientists get the same one vote as some Arkansas inbred
Majority rule, don’t work in mental institutions
Sometimes the smallest softest voice carries the grand biggest solutions

What are we left with?
A nation of God-fearing pregnant nationalists
Who feel it’s their duty to populate the homeland
Pass on traditions
How to get ahead religions
And prosperity via simpleton culture

The idiots are takin’ over
