Evolution - True Or False

[w1z4rd]

Correct, it is a collection of cells that have adapted to live together, much like aphids and ants. In fact, our cell nucleus was originally a bacterium.

At the risk of looking like im nit picking, I believe it was that Mitochondrion that evolved from bacterium as explain here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endosymbiotic_theory

However if you can offer me more information on the cell nucleus I would be happy to read more about it.

How long did it take for my body cells to adapt to live together, I'm 53.

And to think, you started out as only two cells!

It was a little before your time, about 3 billion years.

Wiz, undoubtedly there is no concensus about how it all happened, since it never did.

:bugeye: Um. no to your statement. I am pretty sure a consensus can be reached.

 

[spidergoat]

la, la, la, la, I can't hear you, la, la, la,la, IAC, you're such a baby, the evolutionary term for it is neoteny

 

[IceAgeCivilizations]

There certainly is no concensus, for obvious reasons.

Explain them to me in detail please:

a) What cant be reached on consensus?
b) Why a consensus cant be reached?

thanks

This poll, and the question it begs, is moot.

Evolution is an established fact.

What the clueless quibble over, are theories of evolution.

Isn't your body a collection of cells?

Darwin did support abiogenisis though on a hypothetical level and not as theory.

and the plot thickens-

IAC did you write this entry? lots of goo\soup

Thermodynamics:

http://www.trueorigin.org/steiger.asp

This is the essence of Classical Thermodynamics. Similarly, the “generalized 2nd law” applies to probability of distribution matters in Information Theory in such a way that, left to itself over time, the information conveyed by an information-communicating system will end more distorted and less complete than when it began (again, a higher measure of, or increase in, entropy—in this case informational entropy)—and likewise, applied to matters Statistics, left to itself over time, the order or regularity of a system will be less than when it began

I said left to their own devices and billions of years Ape's will just be hanging around scratching their balls untill they go extinct. 2nd law of thermodynamics.

Wiz, see posts 696 and 698, you guys just can't seem to get it together, as always.

Unless I am mistaken, the cell nucleus contains our DNA and the Mitochondrion its own DNA. However it appears we could both be right: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_nucleus#Evolution

It appears you were wrong: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/02/22/AR2007022201007.html

Looks like the apes are catching up to the fundamentalists

Your may be the only fundamentalist here. You cannot see that making somthing from a twig to poke an animal is a long way from building a space shuttle a micro chip um driving a ******* car (see would a fundamentalist say that?)

Not far past eating a bannana

 

[w1z4rd]

Your may be the only fundamentalist here. You cannot see that making somthing from a twig to poke an animal is a long way from buiding a space shuttle.

In evolutionary terms, its the blink of an eye

 

[John99]

Really we DID see this happen, didnt we?

 

[w1z4rd]

Please clarify your question.

 

[John99]

Humans buid a space shuttle and the microchip, our (according to you) ancestors are still doing what?

Our ancestors are dead, I fail to understand you. I have made no mention of what my ancestors have done? Please clarify this for me.

 

[John99]

w1z4rd,

What have we been discussing for 40 pages?

 

[IceAgeCivilizations]

The ancestors are there, but not there, no trace of them back to a tree shrew ancestor, but they were our ancestors, by crackie.
