Tell me this then. If we evolved from monkeys where are the half ape men now. It reasonable to belive that if we evoloved then we'd still be evolving right now. Did the monkeys stop for a few ages? Then start again when some sientist thigs their a intelligble reason for that monkey to digging in the ground? Affect them to much? ha. Thats a smart answer for defending them because you can't prove they are evolving. Tell me have you seen these "smart animals" change in any way? Also, "they'll be the same for now", keep saying that untill you die. they all said that. Back in the 60s. "They'll be the same for now." They'll keep being the same because they don't change.
If evolution takes time then loaf of bread roaches addabting to poisin would take years for all the genes in their body to learn to resist it. Adabition is what happened.
"The oldest recorded human being is 3.18 million years old', This info is unreliable and you know it. Carbon dating is can be off by up to 60% and higher when it reaches numbers up that high.
Again istinct is what drives animals to "Group hunt". All animals do it. Is that cheeta over there going to start walking anytime soon. Can you prove that he won't?
That teacher shows a deep lack of understanding of what people believe in. Hes wrong to say that theres no god. Can he prove that? As you know from persona;l experiance here jokin gcan sometimes be taken wrong even if it was just plain fun.

We did not evolve from monkeys. In science class, you were never told we evolved from monkeys. Primates and humans share a common evolutionary ancestor. That is, there was once this animal that evolved here and there, so long ago that it branched off into all the sifferent animals like monkey, chimps, baboons, humans, etcetera.
[quote]It reasonable to belive that if we evoloved then we'd still be evolving right now.[/quote]
We are evolving right now. You are subtly diverse from the natural combination of both your parents genes. That is, you have genetic changes unaccounted for by your parents genes. Everyone does. That's how evolution happens.

They never stops. Evolution is slow but is ALWAYS occurring, sometimes in small bouts, other times in giant leaps. If a monkey is born with the genetic tools to survive better than the other monkeys, so he reproduces more offspring then them, then that is evolution.

That's 40 years. See me again in 40,000

You still don't understand how it works. There might be one tiny gene in their body that needs to change in order for them to be immune to that poison. Well, some of them will have naturally already had that gene changed by random diversity. That small fraction will survive against the poison and continue to spread their race, while the ones that did not have that gene changed will die.
[quote]"The oldest recorded human being is 3.18 million years old', This info is unreliable and you know it. Carbon dating is can be off by up to 60% and higher when it reaches numbers up that high.[/quote]
You also don't seem to know how carbon dating works. See, carbon in your bodie as you decompose goes through this this half life period, where carbon keeps leaving the dead organism. They measure how much carbon is left, and figure what the date is that it had a complete amount of carbon. It's not completely accurate, but for 3 million years, 60% is unlikely. For a few billion years 60% is not likely. One time people ehard, "Yeah well we're not compeltely accurate with carbon dating" and no suddenly evolution was compeltely confounded. Juding by the possible innaccuracy of Lucy's age, it's possible she was born from 2.18 million years ago to 3.20 million eyars ago. The farther you go back, the less difference it makes how inaccurate the dating is. My point still stands.
[quote]Again istinct is what drives animals to "Group hunt". All animals do it. Is that cheeta over there going to start walking anytime soon. Can you prove that he won't?[/quote]
1. They evolved to have instinct
2. No all animals group hunt, very few animals group hunt. Wgales, dolhpins, lions, wolves, african hunting dogs, a few more.
3. The cheeta can walk. Do you mean on two legs? It's unlikely unless a cheeta that can walk upright has a better chance of survival against a cheeta that can't.
4. I can't prove that one day it won't be necessary for them to walk upright, but at this current time their niche requires them to walk on all fours because they are solo hunters and therefore have to outrun their prey.

He understands exactly what people believe in because he's a devout jew himself. He simply believes in science class you deal with what you can prove based on the laws of sicence. Does that mean any scientist believes they're dealing ina absolute truth? No, but the laws of sicence are the closest humans can get to absolute truth.

yes, and it was brilliant
I especially like the part when they kill the dragon, it drops the woman, and she just goes "i'll never shoplift again, i promise" :rofl:

Sometimes the real man is the one whos knows when to stop. Sorry you had to pull out all that stuff for nothing.
Im not goading anyone. I stoped it then and there. No more eco crap here. If we want to discuss things llike that we chould take it t the paralement thread.
You need to see it. Its really funny. In the words of the reading rainbow guy, "But don't take my word for it..."

So for those of you who have seen SW3, did you like it? or was it a disappointment?

ITs just that it should have been in the other thread with stuff like this in it.
But yes i too hope you learned things from it. Its good for people to view both sides of the "story" when it comes to certian topics. Lets us see the whole view.

Holy freak! :shocked: Wow, um, really responsible much?

I'm too speechless. Man, I would kill myself if I had kids that young...
Couldn't they just give away the babies for adoption? Or is that not possible where they are? :verysad: Or is those kids REALLY want that kind of responsiblity? Especially the youngest one... My goodness... :ashamed:

That's giving up too easily. When life gives you lemons you make lemonade.
