I am disappointed that Darwin's work is being so confused with other peoples work. Amoeba's? what does he have to do with where life came from and amoebas?
Before his work, people believed that a species never changed, even thought farmers selected and breed livestock for traits they felt where valuable. His books are about natural selection and it's effect on the next generation. Humans use artificial selection to make animals of there liking, like little yip yip dogs. Nature uses environmental selection to make the next generation more able to survive it's environment. He did not like the term evolution and didn't use it. Some school teacher is rolling over in there grave from these posts.
And I don't think it's worth continuing.
" I don't think it's worth continuing." GOOD,cuz all this BS AINT "for the school teacher to keep her rollin" what the original post was about. It was for a good chuckle at some dumb as$'s. Thank you for taking this :offtopic
If the world ever does competely go to hell and modern man reverts to a primitive stage due to lack of schooling (or maybe not having google to rely on)
I bet one day a guy might take a look at a Phillips head screwdriver with no knowledge of the complicated machinery that created it. That guy will figure a man banged it out and turned it into a flat head screwdriver. Then maybe he banged it flatter to make it a paint scraper. That man will be just as wrong as darwin. Why? Because he is too foolish and egotistical to have the capacity to realize something much smarter than him created a lot of individual things which might look similar. . . Just like God
Charles Darwin did not come up with this idea of human evolution. He merely weighed in on it from his scientific (the 19th century style) point of view using what he had seen from his studies and travels prior to Origin of Species. Folks hate him so much yet he really didn't spend much time on the whole human from ape thing. His colleagues were in a heated discussion at the time and he joined in. Even in his Descent of Man, he deals with way more than simply coming from a monkey.
He was a very educated man, not some idiot like you infer. He may not have been right in everything he wrote or theorized on, but there is no doubt that his work was directly responsible for the growth in the study, understanding, and exploitation of Biology in our world today.
At best he was a theist, at worst an agnostic. That's probably better than many folks on this website.
This post cracks me up. So humans didn't evolve from another species? Like every other species/sub species?
Yea it must've been some guy in the sky that dropped the first two humans off. Then he made people part the seas, walk on water and live in eternal euphoria if you follow his ways, and burn forever if you don't.
Why are our skeletons so similar to all the animals we "harvest"?
And humans have only been around for a couple thousand years?
What a joke!!:grin:
