No Im the only one that is saying its not that simple. You just assume oh a glob of this and a glob of that came together and poof little trial and error and a few million years here we are. Im saying its almost impossible for that to happen.
and you would be wrong.
Look at how complex and intricate a single human cell is hell even lower level then that look at a Mitochondrion. There is no way that can just happen by chance. Its far to impressive and amazingly complicated to have just been by chance.
It is impressive and amazingly complex, and that's why it takes millions and more years to happen.
No its not simple and even science cant prove where we came from. Your taking a "leap of Faith" that we evolved from well I dont know what you think we evolved from I guess monkeys of some sort.
This again shows how much you don't understand. Anthropological theory does NOT postulate that humans evolved from monkeys or apes. It postulates that monkeys and apes and humans shared a common ancestor at some point in ancient pre-history. That is not the same thing as saying we evolved from monkeys or apes. You don't even understand what science is telling us, yet you want to throw it away.
There is much that science does not yet understand and cannot describe. I am not a religious person. I grew up in a traditional catholic family and I found it stifling and I rejected it wholesale when I left home (actually I rejected it much earlier than that, tho I was forced to practice until I left home), much to my poor mother's frustration. I am not interested in organized religion of any kind, 'cause I tend to feel that it gets quite a lot of it all wrong. But I won't rule out the possibility that a divine creator of some kind exists. Honestly, I'm ambivalent on the subject and I'm certainly not interested in active worship. In my mind, it's possible (tho unclear and uncertain) that a divine creator did in fact start all of this, put it all in motion, and perhaps evolution is her chosen method, and we are allowed to observe that.
However, this notion is absolutely unprovable and deserves to have no place in a science class. Whether or not I or you or anyone chooses to believe in a divine creator is a personal choice because it is unprovable and unmeasurable and unobservable. It is based on tradition and mythology that has been handed down to us. As such, it belongs in the church, or in a theology or comparative religions class. But not in a science class.
And you didnt read my posts I believe in climate change I just don't believe its man made. I believe in global warming and I believe it happens after every few hundred thousand years give or take a million. I dont believe that drving a prius or a volt will save the earth. I dot care if you drive them thats fine if enough of you do it demand for gas will go down and will bring my gas prices down. My 78 Bronco with that big V8 is expensive to fill up so its a win for me.
I'm glad you clarified that, that you do believe it is happening. But what you are refusing to recognize is that what is happening, what is being observed, what is being measured, is a rate of change that has dramatically increased directly from the time of the industrial revolution, and has continued to increase right along with the human-caused increases of pollution, and are at a rate enormously in excess of what happens without those influencing factors. The fact that climate does change naturally is true, but the rates at which it changes, naturally, is much much much much much slower if human-caused pollution were not in the mix. The changes we are seeing now, over the course of decades, would take at least tens of thousands of years, if not more, to happen without those human-caused influences.
You driving a prius? No, of course that won't fix it. But if everyone got rid of their gashogs and their huge SUVs, and started driving cars with much greater fuel economy, if the car manufacturers started MAKING cars with much better fuel efficiency (which they can do but refuse to), and we ALL got on board, that would be a big step in the right direction. That's why this issue needs to be tackled globally, because the efforts of one or two or even a million people aren't enough. EVERYONE needs to work together on it.
