Creationists accept animals adapt, their bodies and behaviours change over time. We can have these small changes and they add up but they stop HERE.

@1354swrdt So you accept the existence of seconds and minutes, but deny that hours exist? 😂

@1354swrdt Tell me, what do you think evolution is?

Not what you think@newjaninev2

@1354swrdt In that case, I’ll tell you what evolution is, and then you can tell me what evolution is.

Evolution is change in the frequency and distribution of alleles

@1354swrdt (alleles are alternative forms of a gene)

No evidence for large changes@newjaninev2

@1354swrdt So hours don’t exist?

You seem fixated on the process (evolution) without mentioning the mechanism (Natural Selection)

Genes march backwards into the future, in the backdrop of a constantly changing environment

@1354swrdt So anyway, turn and turn about, as offered.

Your turn to tell me what evolution is

@1354swrdt

[quote]No evidence for large changes[/quote]

Well that's just dishonest.
A wise man would say rather that he is unconvinced by the evidence put forward for largescale changes.

I mean, you'd still be wrong in your conclusion but at least it wouldn't be a lie.

@1354swrdt Your turn to tell me what evolution is

@1354swrdt how would you react if I could prove that humans and chimpanzees have a common ancestor?

Find experimental evidence. It is unproven @Pikachu

You can’t@redredred

@1354swrdt
Do me a favour:
Point out the last skull which is full ape and the first one which is full human.

@Pikachu humans are taxonomically among the great apes so, all the skulls are apes.

No experimental evidence whatever @Emosaur

You might be but don’t include all of us! 🤣🤣🤣@redredred

@1354swrdt 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 enzyme [i](L-guluno-γ-lactone oxidase)[/i] that allows the production of vitamin C, which is essential for proper metabolism.

I say ‘nearly all mammals’ because primates cannot produce their own vitamin C. In humans, there is a set of four genes that code for vitamin C production. As you may know, these genes are composed of many, many smaller units called nucleotides, so these four genes contain a very large number of such nucleotides (the human genome has 64 billion nucleotides}. The first three genes are fully functional, but the final gene in the sequence has a mutation in a single nucleotide, and this mutation prevents the sequence from completing. That’s why humans need to obtain vitamin C from their food… because the mechanism for producing it has become a pseudogene.

Across all primates (chimpanzees, bononbo, humans, and apes) not only is it the final gene in the sequence that is silenced, but within that gene [b]the same nucleotide[/b] carries the mutation that is responsible.

Now, why would this be?

1. astonishing coincidence

2. when the gods created all the species they put genetic pathways for vitamin C production into all mammals, but then inactivated a single nucleotide from among the four genes necessary for that production, inactivated the same nucleotide in all cases, and did that only in primates. They obviously thought this to be a tremendous joke to play, because we carry around 2,000 such pseudogenes.

3. All mammals developed the ability to produce vitamin C, but around 40 million years ago, in the ancestor common to all primates, that ability was removed by a mutation in a single nucleotide, and the deficit was passed to all primates due to common descent during evolution.

There is absolutely no experimental evidence that species change as Darwin proposed. Period! @newjaninev2

@1354swrdt Your turn to tell me what evolution is

@1354swrdt and how did Darwin propose that species change?

You’ve read it so you should know@newjaninev2
