“I don’t know [why we're here]. People sometimes say to me, ‘Why don’t you admit that the humming bird, the butterfly, the Bird of Paradise are proof of the wonderful things produced by Creation?’ And I always say, well, when you say that, you’v...

In a female mammal there is a pair of tubes along which eggs travel from the ovaries to the uterus. These are called the Fallopian Tubes (salpinges). Sometimes when a human egg is ejected from an ovary it does not make it into the fallopian tube. Th...

The recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) originates near the top of the brain and connects to the muscles of the larynx (voice box). This nerve allows us to speak and to swallow. To connect the brain to the larynx, the nerve needs to be 30 centimetres lo...

All vertebrates have discs of cartilage that lubricate the joints between the vertebrae in the spinal column. These discs are compressible to absorb shock and strain. They have the consistency of firm rubber and allow the spine to be flexible while r...

Unlike other primates, humans walk on two legs (bipedalism). Gorillas, chimps, bonobos and orang-utans amble about using their feet and their knuckles (quadrupedalism). However, moving around on four limbs can be inefficient. On open ground, bipedali...

When you inhale through your nostrils, the flow of air branches into four pairs of large chambers tucked in the bones of your face… the nasal sinuses, which are cavities inside our heads. The air comes into contact with mucous membranes… wet and stic...

The idea of 'links in a chain' is not... never has been... a part of the theory of evolution. it's simply not needed, not to mention just plain wrong. It seems to be something that's found mainly in creationist indoctrination pamp...

I Accept the Theory of Evolution

Very small marine organisms, such as plankton, are ideal for showing gradual evolutionary change. There are many billions of them, many with hard parts, and they conveniently fall directly to the seafloor after death, piling up in a continuous sequen...

All apes except humans have 24 pairs of chromosomes. We humans are the only apes to have 23 pairs. Evolution made a testable prediction; That somewhere in the human genome we should find evidence of chromosomal fusion. In other words, we should be ...

Humans and chimpanzees both carry inactive genes acquired from viruses. This occurs because some viruses insert a copy of their genome into the DNA of whichever species they infect. These are called retro-viruses... HIV is one such. Where such virus...

Genes code for proteins. That’s pretty much all they do (they have quite dull social lives, and don’t seem to have hobbies or outside interests). Those proteins are built up from amino acids. The genes comprise large numbers of base-pairs, which are...

Embryology can be very helpful in showing how our evolutionary history appears during foetal development. There are a few quick and easy examples that spring to mind from all those available: gills, blood vessels, and kidneys. In the early stages of...

All species carry ‘silenced’ genes… these are genes that once caused certain proteins to be produced, but now no longer function in the original manner. Such genes are called pseudogenes. Nearly all mammals have functional genes for expressing an en...

The first post in this group must be... why is this group in the 'religion' community?

I Accept the Theory of Evolution

Just A Theory? Do You Even Science?... I don't believe in evolution, I accept it as a scientific theory. In science, a theory holds more weight than just a fact does. A theory is not something we think of in the middle of...
