How Evolution REALLY Works, Part I
BackLink to interactive evolution simulator: http://www.freewebs.com/scikidus/evolution/evoflash.html How Evolution Works the GAME. A must see!!! KevinPluck has turned this simulation into an interactive game. You are the predator and the squares evolve to avoid you eating them. http://www.kevinpluck.net/evolution-versus-intelligence/ The world is full of misinformation. Interesting how most of the Young Earth Creationists and people pushing Intelligent Design, clearly don't have an education in the biological sciences. Evolution is the product of Natural Selection AND Mutation. Either alone does nothing. Evolution is the logical outcome of the world around us. Organisms that store their genetic information in DNA are guaranteed to have mutations. Mutations produce NEW variation. Reproducing organisms are guaranteed to compete for resources. Competition between variable organisms leads to natural selection, i.e. those organisms that possess variation that gives then an advantage will out compete those who don't. Organisms with deleterious variation will lose to all other organisms. In this way the ENVIRONMENT SELECTS the best organisms. This has the effect of passing beneficial mutations on to the next generation and removing deleterious ones. Over time natural selection will lead to a net shift in the genome of the population, i.e. evolution. Yes, this really is evolution. Changes in allele frequency, changes in gene expression, and changes in transcription factor binding efficiency, they are all evolution. Logic predicts evolution, and observation confirms it. Evolution has been observed in the lab and in nature. Speciation (macroevolution) has been observed in the lab and in nature. Large changes in appearance have been observed in the lab and in nature. Beneficial mutations have been observed in the lab and in nature. CORRECTION: Some have noted that Evolution need not include Natural Selection, as genetic drift does result in evolution. I agree that genetic drift is evolution, and should stress that Natural Selection is just one mechanism for evolution. Natural Selection + Random Mutation = Evolution Genetic Drift + Random Mutation = Evolution Both are true. To see an example of how genetic drift can lead to a speciation event, i.e. macroevolution, check out an old video of mine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nnu-O5x_pRU To deny evolution is to deny direct observation. It is as silly as denying that the sky is blue.

"and noticed that the remaining survivors were nowhere to be found in the next generation immediately following it"
that is because they werent. only their offspring were in the next generation.
"Imagine how long this must have took me" its your fault you wasted your time. there was no reason to expect the survivors to be in the next generation.

nice attempt at a stupid, ridiculous video...I observed the video very closely and noticed that the remaining survivors were nowhere to be found in the next generation immediately following it (Imagine how long this must have took me)! So how come the surviving members don't make it to the next generation??? BECAUSE your video MAKES NO SENSE!!!

It is a fact that, on average, the larger the brain in humans the higher the IQ. It is a fact that whites have larger brains than blacks. Evolution is not politically correct.

That's not evolution, it's just biology, you twit.
'Evolution' is saying that having smaller brains and lower IQ's benefited black people at some point (a smart slave is a suicidal/rebellious/dead slave)

In america, and no, I refuse to capitalize it, the extensive population of idiots argue, without end, logic, or the capacity to be wrong; the dignity of evolution over their own beliefs, not the evidence, just the dignity.
they view everything as a belief, they have no grasp of the concept of fact, "If a doctor tells me I have cancer, Ill say "youre lying" and just ignore it." thats a quote from one of my school mates in High School.
so no, evolution is not taught everywhere here.

whats the difference?

this program clearly isn't meant to be an accurate model of how fast evolution takes place. also each person on average will have appx. 120 mutations at birth, most do diddlly squat, some make very minor changes, such as a slight difference in skin shade, maybe a genetic disease, and very rarely they do something drastic like 6 fingers (actually a dominant allel), or being 7 feet tall.

Just one problem: Christianity is not a religion. It's a faith! ;)
Check your facts before you say anything. I'm not arguing with people who don't know what they fuck they're talking about. Nerds... -_-
