Well, well, well...interesting comment. The burden of proof is on you, friend. And as you're surely aware, there are many studies/theories making very strong cases for the fact that time does not exist.
I've decided to give back a little. I'll answer questions on evolution for those who have any.

Thats not a "fundamental component"
your perspective is flawed on the semantics.
that animals engage in same-sex relations doesn't mean they're prevented from having kids.
Their genetials don't stop working.
are you fukking stupid?2) You didn't answer my question. If time doesn't ultimately exists, then how do things that require change, like evolution, exist? (cleverdodging off that by the way)
Evolution operates based on genetic variation between generations of species as selected by environment and possibly epigenetic effects.
False.
Genes exist.
They don't have "purpose"
Genes merely code for mRNA.
Thats it.
Theres nothing about "reproducing" stamped on them.
They don't even WANT to be "expressed"...some are just preferred based on a host of other selective events.
False.
I'm saying that you don't KNOW something.
You're saying that you KNOW something HAD to be there. If you can't prove it, then its merely that you don't know. Not taht you're wrong.
1) There are two fundamental components of Darwinian evolution. Survival and reproduction. This is BASIC stuff
2)Semantics again. Maybe I should say it a different way for you. Bags of genes reproduce to keep those genes alive. That is their only purpse
Something did have to be there, because nothing can't create something. What that something is....who knows. It could just be your thought. But it's still something. This is pretty much the only thing we can actually "prove" in any realmFalse.
I'm saying that you don't KNOW something.
You're saying that you KNOW something HAD to be there. If you can't prove it, then its merely that you don't know. Not taht you're wrong.
If you can prove to me that nothing can create something, I will concede

Why we still got monkeys? Can't answer that, DEVIL.
first of all, darwin didn't get everything right.
he didn't know about DNA or genetic mutation for starters. So calling it "darwin evolution" limits you to the late 19th century
That being said:
no. still wrong.
Presently evolution is EXPLAINED via natural selection and mutation.
Thats not their "only purpose"
genes make mRNA. Their "goal" isn't to reproduce. Their reproduction amounts in such an outcome though.
Stop anthropomorphising chemistry.
This statement is not always true.
In as far as you know, it has held up, but you can't make a statement to the absolute as to whether or not this claim is true.
So I saw the "Questioning Darwin" documentary on HBO and I thought it was gonna be pro-creationism...its not.
Its actually an alright look at the origins of the creationism movement and problems they have with scientific understanding.
That being said, I noticed there were several inherently flawed arguments that creationists had.
These people aren't "dumb" per se...just uninformed.
So I want to take the time to address any flaws you can
Also, i'll update this post to include posters who I think are also qualified to comment on the topic and answer other questions.
I want to maintain some quality in this thread but also eventually educate those who are unfamiliar with the concept.
FIRST THINGS FIRST:
Evolution DOES NOT address the origins of life.
It simply doesn't.
thats another topic that has been approached in theories that include but aren't limited to:
1. Abiogensis: www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abiogenesis
2. Panspermia: www.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panspermia
I've got advanced degrees and am workingon professional degrees in this topic, so I just want to do my part to IMPROVE the dialogue on some topics here.
PLEASE POST YOUR COMMENTS IN A SINGLE POST TO BE ADDRESSED AS THOROUGHLY AS POSSIBLE.

Hey bro... Do you think various hominids had conflict or "wars" with eachother? Like different apelike people just getting trounced by a another weirder looking hominid that was slightly bigger and a slightly longer name? I don't know why, but that would make great film... I took a few paleontology classes in college and always felt this would be a dumb question to ask

That's...well. there are no words, really. Time does exist; however, irrespective of one's view of time, what we know is that reproduction and natural selection don't occur in a closed system. Therefore, as long as the members of a species are capable of absorbing energy, grow, then eventually reproduce: thus, spreading their genes (with mistakes in the genetic code passed on), then evolution has a chance of occurring. This phenomenon is independent of any definition or misunderstanding of time.
Yeah, that's nonsense. Time had a beginning. The singularity, however, is beyond time. Not that any of that has anything to do with biology nor the theory of evolution.
Length is also an illusion that organisms from flat land "see" because they can only sense 2 dimensions. Of course, that means you should toss out your ability to measure how long your schlong is. Or some other tripe.
One hypotheis is that, homosexuality rather than being an evolutionary dead end, is simply a measure to ensure that in a large population, there will be members able to help in nurturing of the offspring of others. It improves the prospects of said offsprings growing up to pass on healthy genes.
2) You didn't answer my question. If time doesn't ultimately exist, then how do things that require change, like evolution, exist? (clever dodging off that by the way
)[/quote]Second law of thermodynamics.
May I see those studies/theories, please? And will you be kind enough to explain how those studies/theories prevent natural biological processes.

It's an extremely common misconception. I'd say most people don't know that fact.
Not sure if trolling, or quite possibly the worst post I've ever seen.

On topic, how can anyone with common sense believe Humans evolved from some monkeys
So, this thread is about the theory of evolution.
The theory of evolution doesn't state that humans evolved from monkeys.
In fact, the theory of evolution doesn't state that humans evolved from anything.
You're in a thread, right now, where you could relieve yourself of ignorance. But I don't think you're going to.
