That is funny right there, all this gibberish of evolution and how it works. Well, it isn't anymore scientifically proven than religion amd the argument will go on into perpetuity like a 45 ACP being superior to a 9mm. As long as there are men with differing opinions, there will be no conclusion to this debate.

There will be a real awakening at death when the evolutionists find out that life isn't over...




Just saying that "evolution is not scientifically proven" does not make the claim true.

It is a false claim.

The study of evolution is a field of science that has ample evidence.

Let's do some math.

Let's take something like e.coli. It has 4 million base pairs and divides every 20 minutes. That's 72 generations in a day, each doubling in size. The last generation alone will have 4,700,000,000,000,000,000,000 bacteria

Now e.coli mutates at a rate of 1 mutation per 1000 replication, so there's still 4,700,000,000,000,000,000 mutations present in just the last generation from that one bacteria in one day.

Now that number is just 2^72

So, lets take 4.5 billion years, times 365 days, times 72 generations per day.....that's 1.1826e+14

Now lets start with one bacteria and divide it and it's successive generations that many times.
When I plug it into my statistic program RStudio, it returns.........Infinity........

So mathematically, yea.....there's plenty of time for it all to happen.



Great answer. I think that settles the question.



Thanks TRH.

Perhaps the greatest limitation that leads so many to a anti-evolution position is a lack of perspective, combined with a lack of imagination. They can't imagine big enough, so the fall into the trap of an argument from ignorance fueled by an argument from the lack of imagination and perspective.



So imagination big enough to encompass the time and the processes necessary for evolution to work is a positive trait? But an imagination big enough to imagine a God who created everything is evidence of weak mindedness?

Got it.



Correct.

Pretending you know the answer is "magic" because you cannot sufficiently comprehend the real answer is the sign of a weak mind. [/quote]

If you say so.
