I reckons there's probably an evolution thread somewhere out there in th e oblivion that is 'bullshit' but i figured I'd start one here for good measure.
What do you believe or think to be of life on earth, was it Evolution? Or Creation? Or was it Intelligent Design? Personall i say evolution, what i think is probaly the most defining proof of evolution is the eye. For those who are not familiar with the photoreceptor structure of the eye allow me to elaborate, on the inner most layer of the eye (the retina) houses some 130 million photoreceptor cells (rods & cones) and these cells are connected to the optic nerve via ganglion and bipolar cells. How does this favour evolution? Well the photoreceptor cells (rods & cones) sit behind the ganglion and bipolar cells. this means that when a light impulse travels through the eye and into the photreceptor cells it must pass the bipolar and ganglion cells then be electrochemically sent back into the bipolar and ganglions. This is what causes what is known as a 'blind spot' in that because the optic nerve is already at the back of the eye, no photoreceptors can be located there. Surely if there were some great omnipotent being that created life or dictated its progresion it would have taken a little more care with developing one of the main sensory organs. If the photoreceptor cells sat infront of the ganglion and bipolar cells they could be distributed across the whole eye and therefore no blindspot. There are many other more mainstream evolution ideas but i believe that to be one of the most condemning for creation and intelligent design.
Sorry if that was a bit long winded but it needed proper context. If you are unsure of anything i have just said tell me and i will try and better explain possibly with diagrams

Evolution seems like a fine theroy but it sometimes seems to have some weakspots. For instance the creator of the Theory of Evolution Charles Darwin tried to back out of his own theory....probably under some pressure from the religious type...but lets not get into that. For me I seem to think that intelligent design would be the more logical way life came about. I once saw a movie and they demonostrated it like this. Take a part a watch and put all the peices into a box....shake the box all you like but the watch isn't going to assemble itself. Meaning that just because all the peices were there didn't mean it just happened....something had to kickstart it. I could be a diety or hell evolution could have actually happened and all those people believing in religion are just fools gathered together like bugs to a bug zapper.....who knows....

Everything is to intricate and works together to perfectly to be the result of a chance bang in the universe. Just my opinion though.

mmm...i do think that evolution has the most evidence but i dont know why i always think that there was a creator.. I dunno. Im not a religious person and i dont picture this being like in the bible or any of that stuff.

Personally, I sort of believe in both. but its kind of hard to explain in my view. I just take it that anything is possible and that you should never doubt any theory completely. Everything is a possibility because no one really knows for sure.

i agree with what he said

Evolution for sure. Just the thought of a god creating everything is irrational in my eyes.

Religion and all that jazz is a reason for the weak minded ones to hang under the banner of the manipulative ones.

you fucking idiots we were all made out of clay then god breathed into us and we became alive.............duh.

i actually like the ancient astronaut theory (or whatever it's called)
the one where aliens came to earth fucked the neanderthals into something smarter, taught them some shit, and made us their slaves (explains a lot of the origin stories and such) then left....... does explain some shit but theres no concrete proof

evolution obviously happens but i don't think life just catalyzed on its own, as for there being a creator......maybe, idk

i have posted my fealings on this in one of the political threads... ill find it eventually

oh yeah i forgot about this lol. yeah it seems a lot more logical than a creator i think.

the watch analogy is flawed in that your starting way too advanced and a watch bears no relevence on any lifeform, the watch parts will not join together because there is no reason for them to. they do mot need to metabolise and recycle organic material to continue their existence. after all a broken watch is a series of inanimate pieces that never have and never will be alive.
Q.E.D bitch
