If evolution actually didn't happen, why do you suppose that god made it looks as though it had? [Spirituality & Religion]

The physical evidence points overwhelmingly to evolution through common descent.
If evolution didn't happen, why is god laying a false trail?

Could you please explain the lack of genetic diversity in our species? If you don't have a concrete answer, which you never do, please don't respond.

The more we learn from DNA study the more evolution is proven. These flat earthers just have no understanding, only an agenda.

Evolution is 100% proven fact. @Pikachu

@xRedx I'm really not sure what you're trying to say here. You seem to be claiming that human genetic diversity is extremely low, but in fact it's classed as moderate compared to all other known species (if there were an inter-species genetic diversity score, we'd be around the 45% level).

Humans differ on average by about one in a thousand base pairs. Given that we each have 3.2 billion base pairs, that's a huge number... much less than fruit flies [i]Drosophila pseudoobscura,[/i] a little less than chimpanzees, but massively higher than European mice.

You said "A lack of genetic diversity means there is no evolution taking place"

Umm, perhaps we could discuss that claim... because it's nonsensical, and I'd be more than happy to show you [i]why[/i] it's nonsensical

@xRedx Evolution doesn't mean immortality, extinction is actually caused by natural events and also climate change. All low diversity means is that the species can go extinct, that doesn't negate evolution. The species will [b]bounce back[/b] if there's an accumulation of mutations over many generations.

Who said he did? I find no connections. You see what you want to see, doesn’t mean its right.. no macro evolution events have ever been witnessed, so it’s just some asshole deciding 1 creature evolved from another because they look simular
newjaninev2 · 56-60, F
@Deadcutie and as I do not ignore... in fact, as I emphasise... these are simply distinctions of convenience, distinctions without a difference, and refer to [b]the same process[/b].

The single process that is evolution.

@newjaninev2 well it’s mentened right there in black and white, you may play off willful ignorance, but others will see it

@Deadcutie [quote]it’s mentened right there[/quote]

What is it that is mentioned?
One possibility is that [i]evolution[/i] is how God decided to unfold [i]creation[/i].

As far as I can tell, there is no theological reason that's not a possibility.
@AnneHoney

Thanks🙂

@CopperCicada [quote]evolution is how God decided to unfold creation[/quote]

Of course, the proposal merely begs the question (besides being completely unnecessary)
@newjaninev2 Sure. Legit.

I’m still in shock that this Pokémon is a scientist.

Maybe He's tricking us into heresy?
@helenS

Might be. He does come off as a bit of a dick sometimes

yo are asking to be attacked by a flat-earther
@samueltyler2

lol am i?

It was aliens.
@AnneHoney

Could be!
