DO YOU BELIEVE IN EVOLUTION?

[NilePufferFanatic]

There is DNA evidence that in Humans those two extra chromosomes flipped over and fused. This is all readily on the Internet for you googling pleasure.

Where is your link? The DNA "evidence" you refer to is old and established before we knew how DNA binds. Large "flips" are inheritnly impossible since the negatively charged side of the helix needs to have enzymes placed on it in reverse order one at a time, because the "builder" is positively charged. Of course to get to the building point the cell would have had to pass all the spindel checks (that make sure the DNA is in the proper order and no cell damage has occured). This is pretty basic microbiology: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_cycle

The poll is misleading. There's evolution as it exists, and then there's the theory of evolution which is that certain species (i.e. humans or stingrays) have evolved to arrive at their current state. No intelligent person "denies" the existance of evolution, only the varying role it has played on different species.

to believe in evolution is like believing that the frog....really did turn into the prince.

Its only a matter of time...







Statments like the above are what get these threads closed. In effect you are calling people dumb and insane for thinking differently. Screaming is simply a troll. Please ignore him....

I may have been a bit out of line, but it DOES perplex me...

I'm a little curious, why wasn't the Frog/Prince comment included in the list of Thread-closing statements?

You cant deny evolution!! Its just the way it is seriously you cant not believe in evolution.

apparently in MFK land you can believe whatever you want!



since it seems relevant for people to put this info: B.S. Biology '02 UConn, M.A. Education '03 UConn..... now will you believe me???????????

I agree with a perspective of species changing over time. its evident in dogs though that is controlled, the same applies to natural occurences species do change. I just dont believe in the perspective of Dino to birds. Man I'm mad I have to go to Physics post later Interesting Topic

Evolution is totaly responciple for this!

No offense but no that doesn't make me believe you. I too am studying Biology and I assume you believe all life came from a single cell. I don't buy that. It will have to be proven to me. We'll just have to agree to disagree on that one. My professors all put it forth as a theory so I am inclined to believe just that. It's a theory, a possible explanation. That does not automatically disqualify any other ideas. I do believe in evolution within a species. No argument here.

im sitting in a mechanical design class as we speak lol

I have some errands to run I'll check later and see if this thread is still going. Power to the rays!!!

Back on stingray evolution ("frog to prince" oh that will get you alot of followers for the next Comet ride, have a safe trip home..) Doesn't the salt water ray have gland to deal with the salt in the water producing less of its own. and the fresh water have this but is not functioning any more.? I remeber readinfg somthing about this a while back i just can't remmeber what it is.
