Can evolution explain the transition of a caterpillar to a butterfly? | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 77301333 Belgium 02/17/2019 09:22 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ... Quoting: DPS7 But it's not, mutation is an observable, natural phenomena. Premature birth happens all the time. Turning dirt into an adult man is literal magic. As in supernatural transmutation. Mutation is one mechanism that directs evolution, but there are others. All the evidence suggests butterflies evolved from moths, and moths evolved from earlier insects. There's no evidence that a supernatural entity caused moths to spontaneously appear from dirt. All the evidence suggests it created itself. I never said anything 'created itself.' If not, all the evidence suggests that any number of external factors created it, except for a designer. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77301333 There could be a designer. Evolution is the process where populations change and diversify with time. All the evidence suggests that you sir are well indoctrinated. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77301333 Well, maybe. And that evidence is? Funny how you make a sentence that states mutations direct evolution, what the fuck does that even mean. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77301333 It's pretty simple. Evolution is change over time. The direction in which things change is determined by mutations, epigenetics, transposable elements, natural selection and the environment. So here we are. So there could be a designer and maybe evolution theory is true. How does that work? Or is this just more cherrypicking? |

Parts of it may change, but evolution is directly observable. Whether or not some intelligent being designed our universe is another question. It could have. I don't know. Cherry picking is when you take evidence that supports your position, while ignoring evidence that doesn't support your position. I'm not cherry picking. |

Maybe. |

If the fossil records shows one thing, it is that most animals do not change over time. You know, the living fossils. Because they were already adapted before they were born, you know, right? And yes sir, some animals do change over time and due to external factors, but those changes are drumroll: 1) limited 2) actually observable compared to whatever you believe 3) minor 4) the information to make changes in future generation is .. more drumrolls.. already accessible in the genes of the parent/adult population Ergo, you can get a finch with a dozen beaks, but it wont evolve dragonclaws, the beak of a heron or the wingspan of an albatros. It will also in general not grow out of proportion and become a guinness world record 1000kg bird. You can call me whatever you want.

Stupid. Mutations are not already 'accessible in the genes of the parent.' They appear across generations. You know nothing about genetics.
