Default Re: More fuel to the Psychoreligionology fire

[ QUOTE ]
So in any or all of these citations was an event such as a monkey becoming a man observed?

[/ QUOTE ]
"Such as"? Speciation has been observed, yes.

[ QUOTE ]
But has say, a monkey giving birth to a [censored]-sapien been shown somewhere?

[/ QUOTE ]
If a monkey ever gave birth to a human, that would falsify current evolutionary theory. That's what makes evolution science: it is falsifiable.

[ QUOTE ]
I'm not a creationist, but I do wonder how an evolutionist explains hoping over the specied divide.

[/ QUOTE ]
Speciation has been directly observed. There's no hoping; it's reality.

[ QUOTE ]
I'm defining "species" here as meaning two of them can mate and have children.

[/ QUOTE ]
Yes, that's the standard definition.

[ QUOTE ]
But consider hypothetically... we have a population of a so many monkeys that can breed.... one of them has mutation.... the first [censored]-sapien.... was it a male or female? Or more importantly, was a member of the other sex of that species also spawned somewhere? And how were they lucky enough to find each other and have spawn the third [censored]-sapien etc?

[/ QUOTE ]
This paragraph shows a total lack of understanding of evolutionary theory. There's nothing wrong with being completely ignorant about a subject; I'm completely ignorant about a lot of subjects, myself. If you're interested in learning a bit about biology, I can recommend some highly readable and interesting books to you. But I'm not going to write a whole book in this thread.
