[Q] Was Darwin right? - Off-topic

Ever wonder; Was Darwin right?
fact or fiction Darwin's theory of Evolution ?
(gentle reminder - no flaming, no religion bashing, healthy discussion of pros or cons, strengths or weaknesses of Darwin's hypothesis. or jus say you agree or disagree with Darwin.)

i don't think Darwin was right. if he was, and we eveloved from monkeys, then... why are there still monkeys?

Are you trying to start a religious flamewar? Because that's what this will become.
I do so love when people think that they're experts without a single day of research on the subject.

you are kidding right?? not sure how much "research" one has to do on an "off-topic" forum? LMAO.
Why does it have to become a religious flamewar? you dont have to be religious to feel there are gaps in Darwin's hypothesis, do you?

As far as I know (which isn't much), the theory of evolution is fairly true. The reason there are still monkeys is because we didn't evolve from monkeys. Both humans and monkeys came from a common ancestor

If darwin was so smart then how come he's dead? Checkmate atheists.

if carl sagan was right in COSMOS https://www.youtube.com/embed/MvG-A...bile&vndclient=mv-google&vndel=watch&vnddnc=1 seems to infer evolution: we came from monkeys, and before that... fish. so wonder why do we still have fish? Surely they should have all evolved by now? .. or wonder why don't we see dolphins playing GameBoy?

again, as someone replied to you before me,
the theory of evolution doesn't say we came from "Monkeys" , and again it suggests a common ancestor.
that said, and with all (well deserved respect) to Carl Sagan , when you try to get scientific information you seek scientific resources not a documentary series no matter how good it is.
finally there's isn't a way to discuss Evolution specially from an opposing point of view without at least referring to religion, why? because it's the opposition ... a theory that can be tested and has scientific application Vs a hear-say kind of hmmm "logic!"

i am not religious actually, but do I see flaws in Darwin's hypothesis. you don't have to be religious to not agree with Darwin. You said we didn't come from monkeys but a common ancestor? so the common ancestor evolved from what? a monkey or pre-monkey? that's the point. and according to the "great" hypothesis of evolution, we all came from fish..."in the beginning". so still the question stands, why are there still fish? They should have all evolved by now. For me, Darwin's hypothesis is too simplistic...if you leave your wooden cupboard (carbon) in your room (assuming the room has NO life No bacteria no amoeba no nothing) , will it turn into a human in a millions of years? The point is people have blindly accepted Darwin's theory of Evolution from school days, without realizing, its just a hypothesis..

oh dear... no you don't have to , but then what's the bases to your criticism? the religious will argue either creation or (the not so) "intelligent design" , the non believer then will argue with...! my guess here is science, and there is no scientific or academic refutation for evolution to date...
Evolution is a Theory, and a theory doesn't equal hypothesis,it's fact.
the answer to you question actually exists all over the internet, and there's 2 ways to answer ,
1 the simple way which just scratches the surface of the issue and it's the answer given to kid in early school untill they're mature enough to learn the science behind it, and that answer is:
there is fish because fish is the current evolved state of a previous species, and before that state they were different and evolved until they reach the current state, and your question contains a huge generalization, which fish do you mean? which kind? there are hundreds (if not thousands) of fish species and each one is complete different to the other, it's not because they all have gills it means they're the same
2 the scientific (yet simple) explanation to not only you question but to all "criticism" towards evolution...and that can be easily found on and off the internet, and the following link is just an example (that covers almost all the bases)
talkorigins.org/origins/faqs-evolution.html
simonbigwav with all do respect, to have a discussion or an argument about something one needs to have at least a basic understanding of the subject matter , my friend you need to read about evolution and learn the facts from the myths

Thread closed before the a baby panda dies due to the amount of flaming that he may foresee on this here thread...!
Cheers,

Thanks for the kind words. Personally, I'll try and keep away from any God-based comments. After all, it's probably religious differences behind all this anyway...
I am sure that I am not mistaken if I say that most of the people of Spain are also with you and they accompanies to you in the feeling.
I wish that London does not have to lament so many victims as we have undergone 11M2004 in Madrid.
Hopefully this finishes soon.
P.D: Without I animate to enter controversies and from my deep respect the believers... God does not paint anything in this... The logical thing if it existed would be that it had avoided it.

Yeah, it's not very nice. I was just reading the BBC news website, and I had to close it. Seeing all that destruction, on streets and roads that I've walked and driven down hundreds of times. Horrid.
I hope nobody from this forum was involved.
So, whilst we're focussed on helping the worlds poor and legislating for environmental change, some selfish little bastards are killing people in the name of religion - a religion that DOESNT actually support killing people for political gain! I feel so sorry for those hurt in today's cowardly attack on innocent people, and sorry for the inevitable backlash by the less-informed, both against civil liberties and the followers of Islam.
God Bless!!!
This is insane...
I'm so sad and so sorry...

My thoughts go out to all those people hurt and for those that have lost loved ones. My Fiancee works in a London hospital and I'm just glad she is safe and well and I'm proud that she is doing everything she can to help people hurt or injured. I stongly believe in Karma, what these awful people have done will come back to get them in equal measure!

That's the one hope I hold on to, whenever something like this happens.
To the great people of Great Britain
Deep from my heart, I send you a cry of sympathy and anger. I am a Christian Lebanese but I am sure that many muslims of my country share this feeling. Although we have been struggling against terrorrism for years, we felt every drop of blood shed in London as it were ours. But we must never lose hope in this kind of war. Terror cannot win, it will not win.
God Bless the world..
My sympathies.
But remember.. More worse casualities does happen every hour in Iraq , Afganistan etc..
[/b]
I have to thank somebody up there (whoever it is) for moving my meeting in Angel London today at short notice - otherwise I would very likely be amongst the dead or injured.
what nationality is Al-Quaida?
Why cant they bomb the building that MS is holding Mobile 5 on the Blue angel
Today is another sad day to remember. I would like to send my deepest sympathy to those affect by this terrible and inhumane deed.
I know we are civilised but sometimes events in life make you feel uncivilised and allow anger to take control. This is one moment where I most definitely feel uncivilised and feel that these people live by a law that states "an ey for an eye". and we should reply in full.
I know this is not a political or religious forum but this cannot continue and retalition is the only thing, these animals will understand.

I feel sorry to british people who died by Terrorists who do not differentiate... I feel sorry for the innocent people who died in Iraq, Afganistan and all the world by terrorists (individuals and countries)
they kill innocent people from there own religion and countries such as Iraq and other countries. Where are they when Saddam was in power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
May Allah help all innocent people around the world and guide us to the right path.
I am trying to find a justification of what they are doing in Islam but I could not.
our praise must go to the emergency services who have done such a professional job. Without their swift actions the death count would be so much higher.
Friends.
I wish peace to the people in England, I wish peace to the perpetrators.
Throughout human history mans legacy is marked by a thick path of blood, millions have died for this cause or that, someone always can justify their actions.
I tell you now, one more war is not the answer, you can’t “fight” terrorism, just as you can’t “fight” the darkness, you can only bring in the light.
To retaliate is to sink to the level of the terrorist and to become one! Peace is the only possible answer to aggression, love to hate.
Mahatma Ghandi toppled the British colonials through peace. A world of peace, understanding and reconciliation will overwhelm the deepest darkness. Bigger guns will only deepen the darkness.
Brothers, I urge you, put aside your anger, be the bigger, higher being, forgive, send peace to your friends, your family and your enemy.
Peace my friends, peace.

One Day I Think It Well Come Very Soon

[Guys, this post was posted here. I think it's offtopic, so I've moved it. V]
ONE DAY I THINK IS WELL COME VERY SOON ALL OF YOU WELL BE UNDER OUR MOSLIM SHOES AND MY GOD FIRE ITS FOR YOU
MY GOD SAY IN OUR QURAN:The Gathering (Al-Hashr)
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
1. Whatever is in the heavens and on earth, declares the Praises and Glory of Allah: for He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
2. It is He Who got out the Unbelievers among the People of the Book from their homes at the first gathering (of the forces). Little did ye think that they would get out: and they thought that their fortresses would defend them from Allah! But the (Wrath of) Allah came to them from quarters from which they little expected (it), and cast terror into their hearts, so that they destroyed their dwellings by their own hands and the hands of the Believers. Take warning, then, O ye with eyes (to see)!
3. And had it not been that Allah had decreed banishment for them, He would certainly have punished them in this world: And in the Hereafter they shall (certainly) have the Punishment of the Fire.
4. That is because they resisted Allah and His Messenger: and if any one resists Allah, verily Allah is severe in Punishment.

I agree. The loss of innocent lives is evil. 9/11 didn't have to happen and shouldn't have happened. Terrorism is just plain wrong.

This is a misconception no where in the whole Quran there is a single verse which goes against the whole humanity as a whole. You want to judge someone else religion go back to the original source in this case (The Quran) and find a single verse which goes against the humanity. The Verse the Media Quotes is not the full Verse read the full Verse. I don’t want to get into a debate here and I would suggest the topic should be closed. He made a mistake to post but we need to lean to let go and move on.

lol I had respect for Muslims until they decided to fly a couple of planes into a couple of buildings in the best country on the planet.
Every religion can have holes poked through it.. The human psyche has this dependancy quirk, we NEED to beleive that there is life after death, we NEED to beleive there is a higher power... it's a common insecurity.

Any JW's in here?

Curious, what kind of issues? Frankly, I'd rather live in a neighborhood full of JW's than a neighborhood full of Muslims. It's just that I've never seen JW's cause any real problems for the world, and in law class, we learned that a huge number of freedoms we take for granted are because of Supreme Court rulings they took to the Supreme Court and won. For instance, say you're pissed at the government, and don't feel like saluting the flag one particular day. That used to get you in trouble, just like in Nazi Germany, but no longer. I think on balance, they've been a plus for society, even though annoying at times. I'd sure rather trust one of them with taking care of my house while I'm on vacation than a lot of my long-time "friends".
Here is an article from Wikipedia about the Supreme Court cases

Mainly theological issues. They have a very control based rule system in their religion which I don't like. Like any religion people at the top get away with practically anything while the lowly JW's are brow beat for just watching the wrong kind of movie.
However I think the whole ,"they are morally better" is true and false. They have the same problems like anyone else. Child molestation and covering it up was a major problem as well as petty theft amongst the dubs. However I agree I would prefer to have some in my neighborhood as they are generally good people.

With no offense intended towards your parents, I hate Jehovah's Witnesses purely because they don't go away. I've had a Jehovah's Witness at my door, as is typical, trying to preach to me about what's right, so I told him to go away and shut the door. Half an hour later he was still there, ringing my doorbell non stop. If you believe in something that's fine, but keep it to yourself. These words not intended to "you" in particular of course, but the day I start telling people how to live their lives and what to believe in is the day I start changing my ways for those people who tell me the same. Whether you're Muslim, Jewish, Christian, or anything in between, live your life and let other people live theirs.
Easy way to stop the JW's at your door:
1.Notify them that you do not want them ever coming back or you will call the police.
2.Tell them to write down your address and what you said on the paper they carry around marking houses.
3.Tell them you are going to call the Kingdom Hall and speak to an elder and inform them to be put on the "do not call" list. Yes many Kingdom Halls actually have these.
Problem solved!
One thing you can count on is that dubs will do everything in their power to either not go to court or to not look bad in the press.
Heheh, put on the Kingdom Hall's do not call list, that's awesome... I'd feel like I was playing World of Warcraft, next I'll notify them that I'm going to report to their guild leader that I saw them talking to a night elf mohawk from another guild. For those that missed the reference,

Im following Nostradaumaus on this one. Because it makes sense.
Put it this way, right now i feel im going to try to survive. But probably when it comes to it im going to be s*** scared!
Let's see...to prepare...
1. Make a simple boat
2. Create a machine that will make urine into drinkable water with materials such as a jug, seaweed, some aquarium air lines, and a pump.
3. Inexplicably grow gills so I's can breathe underwater
4. Rescue a little girl with a map to Mt. Everest, the only place to find dry land.
5. Have a mediocre looking chick name me Ulysses
All within a budget of $235 Million---Oh...wait...that's Waterworld...
I have faith that nothing that bad will ever happen (remember Noah and the rainbow?)
the mayans dont even beleive anything is going to end, their is no justifiable reason showing why the world will end besides some mayans who sacrificed to gods who do not exist
Don't worry It's just a movie...a darn good one
OMG!! People do believe this!!!
When entering millennium many people said that the world will end, but that wasn't the case!! However i do believe that the world will come to an end, just like it begun.

Well the Earth does finish like a 10,000 Year wobble and the sun aligns with the center of the milky way, maybe the planetary alignment will cause something catastrophic.
Whatever happened with Y2K?

But thats just me.

Well, being an ex-Honor science student, I can PROMISE you this:
- The Planet has undergone ATLEAST 4 Ice Ages. It is estimated that the cycles happen every 102,500 years. on 2012, it is believe to start the beginning of the Ice Age. People believe that Global Warming is cause by us, but this is not so. Everything again, Everything in the Universe works in Cycles and Frecuencies.
- The Magnetic Field is weakening, and when it gets to weak, it is possible that they swap, if this occurs, then earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tidal waves, and all are unleashed, and not to a minor scale.
- All this leads to an Ice Age. It won't happen overnight, some losses will occur, but humanity will survive.

Global warming ... yes the climate does go in cycles but most scientists believe we are pushing things further than the natural cycle. Paul_Days is in the 1% that thinks this is not so. That does not make him wrong - it turned out the Earth wasn't flat after all...even though most people though it probably was.
For now I'll side with the 99% of scientists.
What was the Honours in BTW?
Well December 21, 2012, is the end of the Mayan calendar. And it is also my Mom's birthday. So I'll probably have a nice dinner with the family and get her a nice gift and laugh about all the stupid people who think the world is about to end... Right before the comet blows us all up

I know. I was trying to make a humorous mock of the myth.

I know, that is why I quoted you full
Sadly there are plent of "mcExperts"* out there who regurgitate such claims, and for those people I posted the link.
Thought that your post was great to use as a bridge to the link I wanted to post.

*McExperts: people who have absolutely no knowledge in a certain field, and after reading a webpage (which they never bother to fact-check) think they are a instant expert, hence the fast-food correlation in the name mcExpert.
what a load of bull****...
worse than the "hidden g-sensor in the xperia"
who is bull**** ?

Drilling square holes - in metal

This is fantastic. This is the invention of a square-hole drill and machine. Completely different from the wooden square hole variety.

It seems the saying might well be true: "There isn't anything humanity can't do".
This is mindblowing Next we'll need square screws and bolts

Now that would be a trick, threading a square screw into a square hole! I figure if we could find a way to do that, the universe will be able to make square planets. Then the world really would be flat lol
I'll tell you what...
..if you watch all the Wimp.com videos from beginning to end it will be a greater mind-altering/learning experience, than all the LSD on the planet +/- ten years ivy-league education!
I've learned more about about the human condition in 6 months of watching these videos than i have in 38 years of my real life. If you want to see what people are really capable of creating, instead of being drowned daily by what people are are capable of destroying, this is the answer for you!
If this planet is being ruined by 99% of the population, it's the 0.1% that you see in these videos that make the continuation of this species worthwhile!
To do a thread-type inception...were i to bring a person from history back from the dead?.. i would pick Leonardo De Vinci. In an era where dogmatic practices were holding the world back from immense discoveries, the few that dared to challenge the 'accepted' facts, Copernicus, for example, who 'dared' to suggest that the Earth wasn't the centre of the universe..only a part of it, these people, these innovators, led the world into an new era of understanding..these are the people who have driven the advancement of mankind.
In a thousand years from now, who will the future historians be thinking back on as the 'greats' of our time? The Physicians like 'Hawkins'? The artists like 'Dali'? Perhaps the visionaries like 'Asimov'?
Who know's who it'll be...but i'm willing to bet that the first ones for consideration will be the same people who are currently pushing the boundaries, doing the things that that we consider unimaginable, and yet are out there doing the impossible for the enjoyment and betterment of mankind!
I personally have a deep-seated hatred for the ignorance of mankind, but an overwhelming optimism that a select few can make a wealth of difference for the many!
/FridayNightPhilosophy!
EDIT: God only knows, as i sit here ,pissed, listening to great tunes..that out of 7 Billion souls currently on this planet, that my contribution to the planet as a whole is next to useless.
In a million years from now, the best that i can hope for is that my skeletal remains are part of the 0000.1% that may become part of the geological fossil record, that future generations can study and glean an ounce of information from. (Their deductions being that i came from an era where DNA destroying substances, and a penchant for warefare led to the extinction of an entire race...and that we were all obsessed by self-destructive paradigms that ended with us donating nothing more than a few genes to the generations to come, rather than being the fathers of a new and enlightened epoch of history.
Homo-Sapien? Pfft..
..in a million years from now we'll be nothing more that an another branch of the evolutionary tree that suddenly became a bookmark in history! The only hope as i see it is if people wake up to the fact that all we have is what we are now! We're living at at a turning point..and if we don't do the right things now, we'll be expunged from the record books, forever.
That's impressive!
More to the point, a square drill bit boggles my primitive Mind.

If you need to discuss this with me, PM me.
I do believe that if religion keeps being discussed here...these thread will now "evolve" into a closed one.
Just deleted some posts regarding religion....keep to drilling topic alive....or magnets, how do they work?
Cheers,
