The Dumbest Theory I've Ever heard.

[usrevenge]

evolution is basically Adapting over generations. if the global temperature dropped by 3 degrees animals would probally have more furr to compensate, some wouldnt adapt in time ( lets say frogs died out) a new animal maybe fish, would fill the niche of catching flys

Your phrasing is misleading. Animals that happen to be born with more fur would be better survivors and therefore become more common. They wouldn't be born with more fur because of the drop in temperature.

Over a short period of time, yeah. But as evolution kicks in and not just natural selection they will get born with more fur

[Nikias]

Well yeah, the mutation will be carried on and offspring that get the gene will be better survivors and spread it further.

The dumbest theory I have ever heard would have to be that Gay people were born gay! Its a choice

[kb12004]

Oh, it won't be.

but my point is that a species evolves when it cannot survive as is, so needs a change. a change that takes, millions of years. If you need to change in order to survive, you don't have millions of years.

although at the same point, I'd also like to point out, that as a high schooler, a public schooler at that, I may be missing something, I am no expert on evolution. I think bottom line, there isn't conclusive evidence to prove, or disprove evolution, which is why I said that it's a debate that will go no where. Anyway, I have no intention to argue this much further, becuase neither of our views will change here.

no, a species evolves when it cannot survive efficiently. The pre human hominids had nothing but rows of molars because all they ate was roots and tough plants and were close to bottom of the food chain. Then along the way, one probably killed a boar with a rock by accident or whatever and then ate it, and grew the urge to eat meat, then over time as their bodies continued to ingest meat, they evolved incissors to more efficiently eat meat. An ideal example of evolution today is how some insects might survive a pesticide that is meant to kill them, then after a few reproductions or so you have a group of that insect that isnt effected by that pesticide. Hell humans have learned to harness evolution, what do you think vaccines are? They are synthetic steps of evolution to force the body to create antibodies that it didnt have so that they can better cope with an infection that might otherwise kill them or leave them extremely feeble and sick.

[Nikias]

Completely wrong. We grew incisors by chance mutation and then used them to eat meat, we didn't grow incisors as a result of eating meat.

In the case of insects there were mutants who were resistant or immune to said pesticides. The pesticides killed only the ones without said immunity, so the ones who happened to have it lived on to reproduce, therefore making a new population that was immune.

Even Stephen Hawking, who is n atheist, believes that there is a God who started everything but he can't interfere anymore. Also, you realize that the Catholic Church has the best scientists in the world and they say that evolution theory is right.

No he does not. Show me evidence for this claim. The only time Hawking talks about god is when he means the scientist's "god of the gaps" certainly not a literal intelligent creator.

The Catholic Church hasn't had the best scientists in over a century. The best scientists are in universities around the world and most of them are none religious.

Let me guess... he thinks black people came from apes?

Also don't go throwing around the word theory like that; a theory has evidence to back it up, not stuff you found so far up your ass corn kernels are falling off of it.

[philipjfry]

How can somebody that isn't real create people

[kb12004]

I honestly don't get why theists have a problem with the Big Bang. Its pretty much an easy way for them to point to God anyway. God said let there be light: Bang. The universe.

Plus where do people get this notion that the theory states that universe originated ex nihilio. As an atheist, I simply don't know what caused the event, I just do not think it was a God. Thats all. Why is that such a big fucking deal anyway?

i read quite a few threads throughout the forums and honestly dont get why you always have to string in religion bashing and reppin atheism in every post. Im no bible thumper, but come on, there are many ways you can add good input to a convo without mentioning how relious people are so backward in their thinking on the topic and also shoving the subtle atheism is the way to go stance

[Alexandaar]

Big Bang and Evoltution theories were made by autistic people, not disciminating autism but you can see why I don't believe them.

[yourstrulylady]

...no, I can't, since there is such a thing as high-functioning autism, and you would need to show that the hundreds and thousands of people that made the theories all had it.

[Brotha_from_anotha_motha]

You think that's bad, check this out: http://www.theflatearthsociety.org/forum/

damnit! i was about to put that as the worst theory ever....

[l0ve]

I don't know about string theory, I'm still weary about it. Someone earlier said 'the big bang theory' was stupid? obviously has no comprehension on physics and mathematics.

the theory of evolution is a converging point supported by the sciences in general, that is beyond discussion.

i remember a few theologians who defined 'creation' at the moment when humans developed the necessities to speak, govern etc. i'll need to re-view old notes, but in short it just seems as if this 'god' made itself apparent when a specie evolved into a technical civilization as an entire. (genesis, story of abraham in the 'big three')

but in short, the idea of god isn't a bad thing but the definition of it can be so misconstrued by religious institutions, or 'intellectual' thinkers that do not allow scientific thought to illuminate their reasonings.

lol, you clearly haven't thought of any reasoning behind this statement.

This thread isn't about gay people. You aren't even in the right discussion board for this topic.

[mikeyyy1992]

I find it interesting when the worlds brightest minds don't even have the audacity to call the theory of God "stupid" when there is not enough credible evidence to support either arguement.
