@skull read second post.....

@SuperzMcShort

P.S. whoever is was that keep saying "survival of the fittest" and has obviously never read On The Origin of the Species or done any study about evolution. Please shut up.

ninjacube pls enough with the strange and slightly disturbing comments, although in my oppinion evolution seems like a load of bull, but the people who believe in it probably think the same thing about religion.anyways I think I covered everything else about this topic in a previous post a couple days ago or something like that.

@Ninjacube
- Clearly you haven't actually read On the Origin of Species, evolution is a progressive change in species over time, not an individual of the species, but the entire species over very long periods. Certain genes being more favorable to a population of species will slowly become more prevalent. Here is a classic example, in 1700's southern England there were many white trees. The peppered moth relied on the trees for shelter and accordingly 95% of them were camouflaged to look like the trees (white), the other 5% were of a darker variant (grey). Then came the industrial revolution, the local coal-burning caused the white trees to darken. As it was now easier for the dark moths to remain camouflaged and thus uneaten, the moth population rapidly changed and became 10% white, and 90% of the grey shade. After a while stricter controls came in place, there was less soot released by the factories so the trees became light colored again, as it was easier for light colored moths to be camouflaged and thus avoid being eaten, more survived to pass down their genes. Inversely, it was harder for dark moths to survive and pass on their allelles (variant of a gene), so the population once again went to being almost entirely white with only a few grey moths.
Fun fact: Cats, humans, along with all chordate, except a few lower order ones, exhibit gills at the embryonic stage. (see the little hole underneath the eye in the image)



This is clear evidence of evolution. If humans or cats or elephants or any other mammal, reptile, amphibian, bird did not come from fish why would we have gills. (Don't make up something stupid, like it gets its O2 in the womb from them, it gets the oxygen from the umbilical cord)
Finally, that is one sadistic experiment.

@crimson-
Let me tell you something, religion is man made. The earth has been around for 4.6 billion years (that is known from Uranium-238 dating, don't try "radioactive dating is inaccurate", atomic clocks after one million years should only be off by about a billionth of a second) the first religion, aboriginal dream-time started around 50,000 years ago (which conflicts with the Bible's date of the Earth beginning in 5000 B.C.E.).

I am not sure how this topic came from global warming to evolution =P

Yea, not to say that the embryo is....nice...but this topic has really got of topic. We are on evolution which has nothing to do with tempurture or global warming, unless it's like tempurture evolution, which this is not(I don't even think tempurture evolution exists) So yea back on the topic at hand.

Now I'm going to see that embryo in my head all day....

....the embryo looks like a reptile..

nvm.back to the topic.
Evolution happens gradually over times,
humans evolved from homo sapiens,but not over a minute
like pressing a red button and thenc ahnging to human,that's wat ninja cube was suggesting.

if ur experiment works,we dun have news seeing people dying from getting drowned ANDpigs can fly because of evolution overnight.

the first fish swan in the seas about 500million years ago,none of them had jaws or fin,but now?fishes everywhere have fins AND jaws.

i meant the current discussion*not topic

maybe this could revive the thread.

Well, I heard of Coast to Coast about a school of sulfur-based fish in a lake in Japan. Maybe they would survive global warming...

Give me one piece of complete evidence that it is us that is doing all this heating up and I'll believe you

But so far it's been a pile of idiots just coming up with stuff..Yes carbon is creating a blanket and is keeping in heat BUT if you haven't noticed we have about 40 years till our oil runs out..

And even before that it'll become too expensive so no we'll eventually start dying because of starvation/wars and economic collapse

So instead of bloody worrying about something you are half sure of...How about bloody focusing what happens when we DONT have the stuff that makes the earth sick

For me a sick earth is better than a wiped out race..

During the last 100 years cosmic rays became scarcer because unusually vigorous action by the Sun batted away many of them. Fewer cosmic rays meant fewer clouds--and a warmer world

Well, it seems to be one or the other. We're either going to freeze to death or burn up...

If we run out of oil nothing will happen. Who is going to die? And who is going to freeze? Nobody. Do you burn oil to eat and to stay warm? No, I have never seen a barrel of oil. The only things we use oil for are transportation and shipping. There are alternatives for those already. We don't need oil. Oil is such a primitive, inefficient means of using energy. We have the technology and can replace all of our gas guzzlers with electric motors. There is no problem doing that. If we ran out of oil, do you think people stop and say "oh well no we're done" and go off and starve?? No, they would swap out motors. no problem. There are already many companies working on electric vehicles. such as GM, Tesla, and Phoenix. http://www.phoenixmotorcars.com/

We could replace all postal cars, and all government vehicles with electric ones. This would save us so much money.

Didn't you know? We will be changing to wind energy from now on!!!

You'll have to install a sail on your car... =)

I guess I'm a little late to say this, but Earth's temperature works like a beating heart. It goes up and down, sometimes completely freezing over, other times boiling the waters. Yes we're causing some trouble with the ecosystems, but who gives a damn. It fixes itself, it always does.
