Adaptations are what individual organisms have, like longer beaks, darker fur, lighter skin, better oxygen carrying capacity, etc. Evolution is the change in a population over time.

In order for the species to evolve the individuals have to adapt. Once they propagate those adaptations to their spawn the species has evolved.

Sigh ...... Read everything before you post.

Sigh. Ain't nobody got time fa dat

Then don't reply .... U are late to a conversation that has taken place and therefore are irrelevant to our conversation .... If you don't have time then don't jump into a conversation that has moved past your statement.

But... but.... but... [spoiler]am I not fashionably late?[/spoiler]

7/10 nice

Lol I don't know if I thank this or what .... Oh well, thank you?

Its short and its clever. It did the job - holy hell over 100 replies. congrats

Ha easy dogs evolved from wolf's with the help of humans now we have all kinds of dogs

Strange how depending on where in the world an at what point in time you were born/raised dictates what fantasy you follow. Get a grip m8 its all stories a retarded child can see through it!

That's what you believe ..... Cool like I said earlier and what the bible says .... It's your choice. You have free will to choose. But don't say you weren't warned when it comes time and you stand before him and he says well there was that one time I sent someone to talk to you but you turned them away .... So depart from me i do not know you. But you know what's even more funny .... Is " retarded " children like you call them have a better grasp on salvation and God than most " normal " people do. At our church we have several handicap kids and their stories of salvation and faith are amazing .... Just look them up. They know relying on someone is hard but yet needed when we are all " handicapped " by sin. Yeah I know that where you live has different religions but the gospel is being made available all over the world, and those who have never heard it before are giving their lives to Jesus when they hear it .... Why? Because unlike other " religions " you don't need to do works to gain salvation, you don't need to fear that your God will punish you if you don't follow him, among other religions. Jesus was the ultimate work and last sacrifice .... There is only salvation that produces good works, not I'll go do good works then gain salvation.

Free will to choose probably the biggest contradiction in the bible. If we really had free will God couldn't be all knowing and thus all prophesies in the bible are null in void.

You do realize both can coexist right? Its not black and white. Why is it so hard for people to understand that science and religion aren't contradicting the other. Yes I'm a christian too but I'm tired of all the arrogant assholes out there.

I know science can coexist .... God gave us science and people smart enough to determine things like those needed in science. But, there are those that are replying to my posts saying that science is the ultimate authority and that God/the bible/ and religion are completely false. Therefor I reply with my defense.

Ever heard of Charles Darwin? Dickhead.

Yeah Darwin was a main writer and discoverer of evolutionary theory. He established that all species of life have descended over time from common ancestors. Im sorry I don't agree .... I didn't come from an ape .... Or a lizard didn't evolve into something else, or a rat turned into a small cat etc .... His scientific theory that this branching pattern of evolution resulted from a process that he called natural selection, in which the struggle for existence has a similar effect to the artificial selection involved in selective breeding. Was also not his idea but Alfred Wallace's main idea ... Darwin just branches off of it. They believe in natural selection which is the gradual process by which heritable biological traits become either more or less common in a population as a function of the effect of inherited traits on the differential reproductive success of organisms interacting with their environment. Or as others would call it adaptation! In summary, life "arose" by pure chance from the non-living primordial soup; it then became diversified into the multiplicity of plant and animal species that we know today through the avenue of pure chance and "natural selection." What this means concerning the origin of man is stated succinctly by leading evolutionist G.G. Simpson: "Man is the result of a purposeless and materialistic process that did not have him in mind. He was not planned. He is a state of matter, a form of life, a sort of animal, and a species of the Order Primates, akin nearly or remotely to all of life and indeed to all that is material. Or, from still another angle but with the same disastrous results, there is the approach of Darwin himself: "But then with me the horrid doubt always arises whether the convictions of man’s mind, which has been developed from the mind of the lower animals, are of any value or at all trustworthy. Would any one trust in the convictions of a monkey's mind, if there are any convictions in such a mind?" Here the sword has swung full circle, for man's mind cannot be trusted for anything, not even for the theory of evolution itself. All knowledge slips into the void and "man" passes completely out of existence. Thus, twenty-first century humanistic man flounders hopelessly in the net of his own folly. It is a net of self-contradiction, self-frustration, and self-condemnation. "I will be free," he says, "free from God and all His restraints; free from the outmoded morality of the Bible; free from the 'unscientific' 'myth' of creation." "Free to know all and be all; free to shape my own destiny." "Free to determine for myself what is good and what is evil, what is true and what is false." And so the journey begins in high-handed self-sufficiency. Man declares his independence from God. He owns no Creator and he owns no Lawgiver. So is God's image stamped indelibly on your heart. However far you may have drifted from the morality of the Bible, still you know that right and wrong exist, that you are a sinner and stand condemned by even your own poor standards of goodness. And, however much you may try to suppress it, there still comes welling from deep within you the cry that you are not an animal, nor a machine, but a person. You didn't get this from the dinosaur; you got it from the God who created you and calls you to Himself. Why not throw down your arms of rebellion and return to Him? To serve Him is true liberty and to know Him is life eternal.
