What point are you actually
trying to make with this 20 questions? Is this one of those games
where
you
try to get someone to say something you can quote out of context
and
therefore think you won somehow?
No. The point is, intelligence is not require for survival. Also,
there is a
big civilization Gap in the Homo-sapien family. 160,000 yrs of a
existence,
and only 6,000 plus years of farming and civilaztion. Same brain
strucuture,
same capacity to think and create tools. and it took them verylong.
don't
you find that odd?
*sigh*
1) Why wasn't the computer around in ancient Rome? Same brain
structure, same capacity to think and create tools.
actually it was... ever heard of the Abacus?
I think he was referring to an electronic calculating device. They are not
quite the same thing.
not quite the same, used with the same goal.
2) 6000 plus indeed! Are you always off by a factor of one? Squash and
potatoes were domesticated 10-11 KYA*, avocados 9-10 KYA, peppers 9
KYA, chiles 8-9 KYA, cotton 7-8 KYA, corn 7 KYA, beans 5-7 KYA, and
fertilizers first used 5-7 KYA. And that's just in the Americas. Seed
selectcion began at 9-10 KYA in the Americas.
*KYA = thousand years ago.
even if you double it. it still a big gap...
So. For 160,000 years, humans didn't use the Internet. Then *suddenly*
they
did. What happened? Did someone find a big, black monolith?
that could be a very viable posibility..
You have pointed to this gap in time, state it is a "big gap", but don't
say
what it means. Everyone has to guess, like a game of 20-Questions. What is
your point?
The Theory of Evolution does not depend on
your understanding, or on my ability to explain it. It depends on
scientific observations, and the ability to make predictions about
those
observations.
and yet evolution as the origin of man, does not pass the
scientific
method..
And special creation does? *poof* God did it! How can it be tested. We
can test any evolutionary theory, but creationism (or its 'soft-line'
cousin, intelligent design) is inherently untestable. And it's not
very creative; it's like the Sims.
you are confusing me with a creationist... I am not.
It seem to me you are equating evolution as a science theory that does
not need the support of the scientific method. that is very odd.
This is incorrect. Evolution is an observed phenomena, and is capable of
explaining many facts about the world, including the nested hierarchy in
time of extinct life, the nested hierarchy of extanct life, and the
recently
discovered nested hierarchy of genomes. That makes it science.
It still does not pass the scientific method. bit and pieces does not make a
scientific fact out of speculation.
What part about the Theory of Evolution do you disagree with? Variation?
Mutation? Natural Selection? Common Descent? Genetic Drift?
Waitaminute...Just ONE species you're concerned about? *snicker*
