Spiders - or Does Evolution Happen??

[mybike]

In this thread you come across as someone that likes asking questions but does not like answering them.

As it's 'your thread' why don't you go first and explain how species variations have taken place across time without evolution (and the various mechanisms that drive it) having been involved?

I'm a million miles from being an expert on religion, evolution, or anything if I was to be honest but I know of one religion that says that a god created two people. From these two people the rest of humanity flowed.

With that scenario as a starting point, what would be the mechanism that accounts for the massive ethnic diversity of the human race that is currently manifest, if not evolution?

No, it's not my thread, I commented on an original post that is now elsewhere and was roundly attacked. No one has shown my original comment to be in error. BTW, the human race has comparatively little diversity when compared to other organisms.

Regardless of "ownership" of the thread, you still haven't answered the question

Try telling THAT to my mother in law, who has evolved blue legs 8 times!

Oh ok - I see where the thread schism was. But you seem to be the thread's protagonist so why don't you answer the questions asked of you?

Re diversity in the human race being less than other species. This may or may not be correct - I don't know definitively and frankly don't care. Nonetheless it is a slippery ploy on your part to not answer the question by only providing a tangential fact in response. The fact remains that the human race's ethnicity is diverse, irrespective of scale. How did that occur? You seem to have entrenched views on how it didn't happen so why not provide the flip side?

Not actually true, but a bit off topic.

That's an interesting bit of theology - deny the crucifixion, resurrection and ascension. Not even the great, and much misunderstood, former bishop of Durham did that.

Sure she wasn't just changing her tights?

That might be an image I'd rather not dwell on.

OK, since mybike is either unwilling or unable to engage in meaningful debate, I'm going to call it quits. I would have liked to hear their point of view, maybe we could have learned a bit from each other. Nevermind. I'll leave this link here by way of a parting gift.

True dat

Then, as I've already said, demonstrate the descent of all life from a last common ancestor.

Here you go.

Here you go.

Sorry, that's a claim, not a demonstration.

 

[Spinney]

Except dinosaurs aren't really extinct, they just evolved into the birds...

Define 'demonstration' then.

I think we got some help somewhere along the way:

He/she wants you to show evolution in action over millions of years - like sitting at a table with a petridish and finish he demonstration with a fully populated planet.
