| Quote | Wow. You really don't know shit about evolution do you. And that's a common creationist tactic known as a 'strawman'. You can't attack the argument that your opponent makes, so you make up an argument and attack that instead.
Now, listen very carefully. Individuals don't evolve. Say it with me. Individuals don't evolve.
POPULATIONS evolve. |
OK....Individuals don't evolve...individuals don't evolve...but I have a question:
How do populations evolve without the individuals within it ALSO evolving???? |
Well, yet another proof that you don't know what evolution means.
Individuals don't evolve. They develop according to the genetic material they inherited from their parents. If their own genetic material happens to experience a mutation during their lifetime - too late for them, although not too late for their children. If that mutation is harmless or beneficial given the environment at that time, it has a good chance to survive in and with the descendants.
In fact this is a verrrry much simplified explanation, I hope my learned friends will correct me if I made mistakes. |
OK, so please riddle me this.......a population speciates (that means evolves)....yet, I can choose to pick an individual within that population, examine that individual and it would NOT have speciated? Then if I examine every individual within that population and none have speciated, how can it be said that the population speciated?
LOL...You guys simply aren't making sense....
