You can't trace them all to a single dog, because those species have existed in parallel not from each other. You couldn't turn a dog into a elephant or giraffe, but with your theory of evolution, apparently that somehow happened. It's just a fantasy you have.
Getting hit in the head isn't a mutation. Beneficial in this context means survival, things that help survival are passed on. There is no advantage in terms of survival in having a photographic memory and so people didn't evolve to have it.
It's a mutation in that it causes damage to the proper function of the cells. That's what mutations involve. When someone gets hit on the head brain changes can occur like this. And how can you say having a photographic memory is not an advantage. So you read a few hundred books and can recall all you have learnt and that's not an advantage? You could read all up about surviving in the wild, different plants that are edible. Strategies for survival. You can learn it all and retain it. What wouldn't be an advantage of it? It's the biggest advantage you could ever have.
No you don't seem to understand, evolution isn't random. Evolution is a process, hence the reason cell division is a far better analogy than the silly random stuff you are saying.
Looks like it still hasn't sunk in yet. Cell division is not natural selection cell division is a re-production of current avaliable DNA. Okay?
Random mutations are what causes some initial changes in something but that doesn't mean evolution is random, and it isn't. Evolution is a process of promoting advantageous traits. Things that help a creature survive are selected for when the animal successfully breeds and traits that hinder survival are removed as the creature dies before breeding.
A mutation is not an advancement of complexity in DNA. So you can't use the environment for it to be passed on even. If white moths and black moths are existing and the bark of the trees is black, the black moths survive predators. That doesn't mean the moths mutated, it just made the white month extinct. There was no DNA complexity added, nature is just going according to what exists. The white moths did not turn into black ones.
I already pointed out that we have fossil evidence going back millions and billions of years ago.
I already pointed out there was a pink unicorn in my room, are you going to believe it without any evidence? Or should I be more specific?
That is how we can tell that evolution is true. Why are all the fossils from over 3 billion years ago of tiny single cell stuff? Why do the older fossils contain only primitive life forms and the more advanced one are dated to time periods closer to our own?
Have you got a 3 billion year old fossil? Do you realize how different things could have been billions of years ago and that most of it would be underground? It's useless saying that you have old fossils and that proves you know what went on billions of years ago. You have no idea what condition the earth has been in before. Continents could have been covered in lava for all you know. You can't assume that you know what was alive billions of years ago from a few fragments of rock.
You can clearly see a pattern of early simple life forms dating the furthest back and more advanced life forms happening much closer to our time.
No there isn't. This is part of your fantasy.
They didn't design the bacteria in any way, it is natural bacteria that lives in the wild. They just brought it to a lab setting to test and see if things change over many generations and their test proves that they do. The bacteria actually did exactly what evolution predicted. So it backs up evolution.
hahahaha. The bacteria didn't do jack. Evolution didn't even have a theory about what would happen with it. All they knew was that mutations would occur as it lives and re-produces. That doesn't prove we can grow out of bacteria.
Actually the experiment clearly provides evidence for evolution, you are just to clueless to understand it.
You are just clueless about my pink unicorn in my room.
The experiment also directly counters your idea that things don't change over many generation, which we all know that animals do since we can see it every where around us.
If I take a bite out of an apple, and leave it on the bench for weeks. Mold will grow on it and the apple will rot, bacteria will be attracted to consume it. The bacteria will change and grow as it consumes the apple and lives, similar to the experiment you referenced to. But it won't quite make it into a human being, it won't live up to your fantasy and be able to organize itself into a beautiful blonde female I'm afraid. You are more or less suggesting that if you brought a blow up doll, and left it in your room, that it could eventually come to life and re-organize it's structure. Over billions of years it would evolve into your girlfriend, somehow. Or perhaps a banana tree would evolve into an apple tree, because people in the area travel more with apples, and so it benefits the banana tree to turn into an apple tree so it can spread around more. That's your theory isn't it? Beneficial adaptions changed it into an apple tree. But somehow the banana tree remains. So half of it changed. Like we have monkeys today and humans. Half and half changed.
Actually that is exactly how mutations pass on. When you reproduce you pass your genes on to your children. If there is a mutation in your genes, then there is a chance you will pass that mutation on to the next generation. Also the bacteria isn't changing it's behavior, the actually structure is changing. So it would be like a group of humans having blue skin and growing to 8 feet average height, and 6 fingers on each hand.
It's not possible for us to change this dramatically without some serious genetic engineering, just like that blow up doll is not going to become your girlfriend without some serious programming, even the hardware from your local electronic store would not be enough to modify it into a human. The blow up doll just doesn't have the DNA information for the job. Even after trillions of years it's not possible. Same as bacteria in the ocean just doesn't have what it takes to become a human. I'm surprised that you could even believe in such a fantasy.
The fact that you keep saying stupid shit like that, proves you have no idea what you are talking about. Living things are not inanimate objects. They are not stationary objects, they are constantly changing and growing.
Wood, bricks, and other elements are made up of atoms, and guess what, so are living organisms. Living organism are just programmed differently in a way more complex way and so they are able to function in a more complex manner.
According to your theory we went from stardust, to the earth, to humans, ever since the 'big bang' so your theory has to include inanimate objects like wood and bricks, and other elements that make up the universe cause you actually claim that that's where we came from matter after the big bang and stardust evolved into us through random chance.
Matter that exploded out of a magical big bang that actually came from nothing and no-where and benefited by changing into a human. This is your claim. That out of the nothingness it all fell into place and re-arranged itself. You are saying something worse than a blow up doll that existed trillions of years ago floated around in space to eventually re-arranged itself to the point where it built a spaceship and landed on earth and seeked you out as your girlfriend. That's about as much chance as your theory has of working. Maybe you are so attractive that the blow up doll in space benefited from evolving itself and would survive better knowing that you existed.
Just admit it, god exists as the designer of it. Even if you have a computer to design a software program, it's not going to write the code on it's own. Nothing has ever existed without a designer. No theory has ever worked without taking action as a living being with a purpose of designing it.
Checkmate.
