Evolution...?

[Avante]

snails aren't our ancestors, no.

What was the very fist living creature to step foot on earth?

[mouse]

Then it gets more right.

That's why science is.

So Science is about guessing? speculating?

You were wrong before and you stay wrong, just more loudly wrong.

So then why can't Science be wrong about the Big Bang?

[mouse]

What was the very fist living creature to step foot on earth?

He doesn't get it.

Either that or he found himself over his head in a debate he never researched.

I say both.

So according to all these dummies....


For some unknown reason...life! The first life being little fishies, then over a long long time they start evolving into dinosaurs.

Oh yes that makes far more sense than an intelligent design. And there is little doubt the complexities of DNA like life can just happen, hahahaha!

People who debate Evolution including the experts and Professors always skip over the big Bang and how the Earth even came about they want to go right to the fossils.

That is one advantage the Creationists have they have no problem going to the start of the universe.

It's like debating who shot JFK and not starting with all the facts just start at the gunshots.

Why is it an advantage to talk out one's ass? People who defend evolution without talking about the big bang do so because they limit themselves to argue from evidence, and the ostensible origin of the Earth precedes evidence of life here by billions of years. And for the record, the theory of evolution DOES posit we share an ancestry with snails. And plankton. And bacteria.

i dont know. but snails aren't human ancestors

do you want to talk about the big bang? start a thread about the big bang. evolution is a different discussion.

evolution is about species changing over time. it isn't about the start of a universe, the origin of earth, or even the origin of the first life on earth.

the origin of life on earth is often assumed to be abiogenesis, which is what you seem to disagree with. but that's an independent discussion from evolution

Didn't snails also come from whatever that first living creature to step foot on earth?

Dude, this is my thread and mouse can talk about anything he wants if you don't like it leave, got it?

mouse ignore this re and talk about whatever ya want.

Snails are actually a quite good example of a sea creature that adapted to life on land.

So it slowly crawled out of the abyss knowing he'd/she'd find snail food, hmmmm? So what creatures evolved from the snail?

Here you go, mate. Short read. Fairly elementary. Enjoy!

snails, worms, and other invertebrates came from different types of fish than the bony fish that first walked on land

this thread is called "evolution"

[Avante]

So how come they didn't evolve into big creatures like the fish did?

[Avante]

this thread is called "evolution"

And since I'm the daddy of this thread, I'll let everyone know they can talk about anything they want. If you can't handle that, bummer.

[Avante]

Who would have thought that all it takes is....I don't wanna be a fish......BOOM! 177 pages, hahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!

[admiralsnackbar]

For the same reason many old-school businesses still exist alongside dotcoms -- many of them are still viable. Evolution doesn't mean one "master" organism is evolving in a linear fashion, it means outlier organisms are capable of success or failure. When success occurs, outliers settle different parts of the biological "economy."

[Jeff Leppard]

So how come they didn't evolve into big creatures like the fish did?

Come on, man. Everything did not evolve in the same manner. There are all kinds of biological and enviromental factors involved. Are you dense, or are you just being obtuse?

This is dense.....


During the evolution of snails two important things happend: One is a process called torsion,most of the internal organs were twisted 180 degrees anticlockwise.This meant that the mantle cavity,gills and anus were situated in front of the animal now. This allowed for more room in the s and the head could be withdrawn first.

That's stupid.

[spurraider21]

So how come they didn't evolve into big creatures like the fish did?

why would they?

[Jeff Leppard]

Yes. It's stupid that you don't understand it.

[Avante]

why would they?

Why would fish?

[spurraider21]

Why would fish?

did you know genetic mutations are typically random? there's no reason for them. there's no "why"
