    i saw a thing on some american news site that said the majority of americans dont believe in evolution is this true and if so why or is like abortion and gay marriage just another issue used to distract people from the brave men and women risking thier lives and coming home from warzones dead or missing arms and legs

    I personally am not religous and accept evolution as solid fact the main reasons are

    thumbs where would we be with out them

    dinosaurs a different form of life grew on a different type of earth

    not trying to offend anyone but i dont know any religous people or americans tell me what you thinkl

    Evolution is a lie. God created everything in seven days. Including dinosaurs.

    God created the heavens the earth and the dinosaurs, according to Titmar's research.
    I'm not exactly sure as to what I believe, I belive in God but not every detail about him. According to south park, which wouldn't lie to me. I'm the result of a retarded fish frog who had but secks with a monkey.

    and then he created solid evidence of evolution to confuse Man to which is the truth

    and then he was like "i hate gay dudes, i hath spoken"

    and then we all were like "lol, whatever god, ur so crayzee!"

    Your first paragraph is extremely stupid. I believe in evolution btw. Religion just breeds intolerance.

    I don't really understand what the point of this sillyness is but okay then...?
    Evolution is obvious, it's a proven fact...
    You can stay in dream world if you want though...

    I'm gonna be lazy and do a simple copy paste =]
    Yahoo! Answers FTW

    This is a *partial* list of evidence of evolution:

    1. Evolution reproduced in the lab or documented in nature:

    a. Two strains of fruit flies lost the ability to interbreed and produce fertile offspring in the lab over a 4-year span ... i.e. they became two new species. (Easily repeated experiment.)

    b. A new plant species (a type of firewood), created by a doubling of the chromosome count from the original stock (Mosquin, 1967).

    c. Multiple species of the house mouse unique to the Faeroe Islands occurred within 250 years of introduction of a foundation species on the island.

    d. Formation of 5 new species of cichlid fishes that have formed in a single lake within 4,000 years of introduction of a parent species.

    2. Fossil evidence - (So much to list). The way fossils appear in the layers of rock always corresponds to relative development ... more primitive creatures in lower (older) layers. Absolute dating of fossils using radiometry. Constant discovery of new transitional forms. E.g. reptile-birds, reptile-mammals, legged whales, legged sea cows.

    3. Genetic evidence - E.g. the fact that humans have a huge number of genes (as much as 96%) in common with other great apes ... and (as much as 50%) with wheat plants. The pattern of genetic evidence follows the tell-tale patterns of ancestral relationships (more genes in common between recently related species, and fading the further back in time).

    4. Molecular evidence - These are commonalities in DNA ... which is separate from genetic commonalities ... much of our DNA does not code for genes at all. But random mutations (basically 'typos') enter into DNA at a known rate over the centuries. This is called the 'molecular clock' and again gives excellent evidence of when humans diverged from other apes (about 6 million years ago, according to this molecular clock), and this corresponds perfectly with when these fossils first appear in the fossil record (using radiometric dating).

    5. Evidence from proteins - Proteins - E.g., things like blood proteins (the things that give us our A, B, O blood typing and the Rh factor (the plus/minus thing) which incidentally stands for 'rhesus monkey'); the exact structure of the insulin molecule; and my favorite, the proteins responsible for color vision. The specific proteins found in human color vision are exactly the same as those found in Old World primates (the great apes and the monkeys found in Africa and Asia). These proteins are absent in New World primates (the Central and South American monkeys), and from all other mammals. In fact among the New World primates, only the howler monkey has color vision ... but these use slightly *different* proteins, coded on different locations and chromosomes, than humans and the OW primates. This is yet more evidence of a closer link between humans and the OW primates.

    6. Vestigial and atavistic organs - E.g. Leg and pelvic bones in whales, dolphins, and some snakes; unused eyes in blind cave fish, unused wings in flightless birds and insects; flowers in non-fertilizing plants (like dandelions); in humans, wisdom teeth, tailbones, appendix, the plantaris muscle in the calf (useless in humans, used for grasping with the feet in primates).

    7. Embryology - E.g. Legs on dolphin embryos; tails and gill folds on human embryos; snake embryos with legs; marsupial eggshell and carnuncle.

    8. Biogeography - The current and past distribution of species on the planet. E.g. almost all marsupials and almost no placental mammals are native to Australia ... the result of speciation in a geographically isolated area.

    9. Homology - E.g. the same bones in the same relative positions in primate hands, bat wings, bird wings, mammals, whale and penguin flippers, pterosaur wings, horse legs, the forelimbs of moles, and webbed amphibian legs.

    10. Bacteriology, virology, immunology, pest-control - I.e. the way that bacteria evolve in response to antibiotics (we can compare strains of tuberculosis today, with samples of older epidemics and can see the specific structures), or viruses (like HIV) respond to antivirals, or insects evolving in response to pesticides.

    ... And there's more ... a LOT more. I'm stopping only because I'm getting tired of typing, and I don't know if you're actually going to read this. (I and others have compiled lists in response to this question *so* many times ... only to get absolutely no reponse or comment whatsoever from the asker.)

    This is an excellent site I discovered recently (UC Berkeley):

    And here is the wikipedia site, just on *evidence* of evolution:

    This literally made me lol xD

    That's some interesting evidence you provided there Reynbow, however it is very obvious to me that God made all of that happen. He works in mysterios ways... sigh.

    Lol jay, that's got to be the stupidest thing you've ever said... LMAO!

    Firstly, because if you check out my post on page one... Well yeah...
    And secondly, because, what evidence do you have of god? Lmao...

    Oh and the bible is by no means evidence, it is quite literally the most historically inaccurate book ever published, once again this is a proven fact.

    Yeah dang those smart scientist and their pretend not real evidence! I haz the bible and it speaks truth... I hope...

    Lololololololol... Silly people and their silly religion.

    I was wondering, when you're in science class do you hold the bible up every time you're told something by the teacher and say "Sir, I believe that you will find you're wrong"

    I found his comment to be quite positive. I guess it's just how you look at it...

    Why do you have to be so negative in trying to bring down HPM!

    Lololol Okay umm...

    I don't believe in Santa Claus, does that make me stupid?
    I don't believe in Unicorns, does that make me stupid?
    I don't believe in Bigfoot, does that make me stupid?
    I don't believe in Religion, does that make me stupid?

    I don't think so...
