MadSci Network: Evolution |
If evolution really happend then wouldn't there be a lot of transitional fossils, instesad of just the few that people have found (which turned out to be frauds anyway). Take Lucy for example. The constructed most of her from a few bones and a knee cap that was found many yards away, deeper down in the earth. Also her hands and feet where those of a monkey. Experts have come to conclude that she was just an extinct form of monkey. Also if during the evolutionary process something did evolve, it more than likely would have died without reproducing, because it wouldn't have had the same genetic as the species that gave birth to it. Most mutations that take place do not help a species, and the ones that don't hurt the species arn't passed on to the next generation do to the fact that when the two strands of DNA come together during replication the template stand will repair the mutation. So you would need a male and a female to both have the same mutation and then mate for the evolutionary process to continue. The peppered moth is also used as evidence for evolution, but the fact is that the peppered moth always staied a moth even though it changed colors. I know that natural selection does happen, but it does not prove evolution. All it does is make that species stronger. Darwin's finches, does not prove evolution either. The finch is still a finch. It didn't evolve from a lizzard, and the finch didn't evolve into something else. It started as a bird and ended as a bird. I could go on and on about all of the things that are wrong with the theory of evolution. After all its a theory and is has yet to be proven.
