There’s a missing link

>descended from apes

Evolution says that every living thing descends from a single celled organism that randomly had genetic mutations.

So you literally believe you're related to a potato.

When's the last time you've heard of something having a beneficial genetic mutation? When's the last time you heard of that thing having so much sex that it causes an entire population to have it?

Oh yeah, fucking never.

Did you know that the 6000 years time frame from the Bible is around the same time human civilization started and other religions have the same time frame as the beginning

I think it might be a metaphor for when we developed higher consciousness and started labeling things separating everything with language as we forgot the oneness of God

I actually paid attention in school to what was being taught in school and I can safely assume the truth is irrelevant. You can teach whatever in school and have it be reality, have it be fact. Only crazy people challenge the establishment, you aren't crazy are you?

It actually happens very frequently with bacteria and viruses due to their minuscule life cycle.
This is where superbugs come from and also why they roll out a new flu vaccine every year. This is well documented and solutions to the problem are a high priority field of research in medicine since we've been misusing antibiotics for so long now.

Why have horseshoe crabs remained unchanged by evolution for 400 million years but fish turned into humans in that same timeframe?

Why is there so many animals that science says went extinct or evolved into another animal millions of years ago, until we find them still living?

Scientists told people that the coelacanth went extinct 66 million years, until they found them still living. How am I supposed to believe anything they say about dates and evolution is not complete bullshit?

> Coelacanths were thought to have become extinct in the Late Cretaceous, around 66 million years ago, but were rediscovered in 1938 off the coast of South Africa.[6][7]


Bruh where the pterodactyls hiding at nigguh i way to see dinos where my real life Jurassic park island hidden at this some King Kong shit not some we got dna from A mosquito that got trapped in some yellow goo that keeps it safe bs they are alive right now where is triceratops hiding give me steggy irl he was a cute lil nigguh yall shleepin on these dinos bruh

So what do you think the truth is

>>3031
Evolution doesnt imply that any population has to change, only that it may.

>Scientists told people that the coelacanth went extinct 66 million years, until they found them still living. How am I supposed to believe a
anything they say about dates and evolution is not complete bullshit?
What the fuck do those statements have to do with each other? Noone had found a living ceolacanth, or evidence of one, so they assumed there were no more. Then someone found one, so we know they're still alive. How does that discredit anyone?
Not to mention, modern Coelacanths are different from ancient ones. For one, theres far less diversity of modern ceolocanth compared to ancient.

I love evolution theory, almost as pointless as statistics
>my theories aren't allowed to be applied because that's m-mean!
fucking pseudo science

>>3047
>my theories aren't allowed to be applied because that's m-mean!
Noone said anything resembling that. Evolutionary theory doesnt state that an organism must necessarily change drastically by a fixed amount in a fixed time period, nor does it hinge on whether or not certain taxa are or are not extinct in current year.
Thats not a refusal to apply the theory, those things literally are not anywhere in the theory.

>>3049
There's just absolutely no evidence or proof.

The best evidence you have is lining up fossils of similar looking animals and assuming that must mean they evolved into one another.

>>3050
Not quite.
We line up skeletons in a tree, where one skeleton found in much older rock has an objectively quantifiable degree of similarity with multiple different skeletons found in younger rock, as though each of those younger fossils represented descendants of some member of that older species.
Theres more patterns like this that support evolution. Nothing in the world can ever be positively proven, we observe patterns and find explanations that match those patterns strongly.
You cant prove to me that gravity exists. I can just be a wahhabist and claim that allah puts the universe into order at every moment according to his desire, and attempting to discern mechanistic physical laws is both meaningless and blasphemous. You cant positively prove that your laws are the truth. The prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him) laughs at you. God is great.

>>3052
*I forgot to write in this post, multiple different skeletons from younger rock which all themselves bear quantifiable similarities and differences from each other.
As though they were different groups of descendants in which different properties of the organism did or did not change.

>>3052
I'm well aware they find them in different layers of the Earth, some seemingly older than the other.

It doesn't mean one evolved into the other.

If donkeys and horses were extinct animals, they'd say that donkeys evolved into horses.

Did you know the epic of gilgamesh wasn’t found till line 1947? It’s the oldest epic tale older than the odyssey and it was literally just discovered in the 20th century

>>3059
The middle east was medieval until the 1970's

>>3064
Bs

>>3056
It strongly implies it. The way the changes pile up as you go from older to younger rocks resembles exactly what we would expect to see if we were observing radiation of changes to populations over time in response to selective pressures.

>>3066
In three hundred years all our scientific beliefs will be cringe

You can prove evolution easily through induction assuming:
a) individuals of a species differ (quite obviously true)
b) traits tend to be passed to the next generation (demonstrably true)
c) a difference may be beneficial (fucking duh)

Yeah but who's deciding it
