Shaky cam video of a game I've already played, played on a system with a much lower resolution and less powerful CPU and graphics card than my system? I think I'll pass. :)

Ok, so seriously, what happened to all the big talk and questions from evolution skeptics? Did ya all simultaneously decide to never use the internet ever again?

It's wrong to write it off as bias. It's fundamentally ignorant of the subject it's trying to talk about. It's like a three-year old trying to lecture a mathematics professor on calculus. Beyond idiotic.

This thread isn't over: people like Asus and t047 and M1CH43L need to come back and respond again.

Nothing is "100%" proven: the very cocnept has no place in science. However, things like gravity and evolution are as CERTAIN as anything can be: all the evidence supports them. That's why it isn't just a matter of opinion.

That's the creationist view of things. The scientific view of things is that there are no absolute facts, but that evolution and an old earth are what all the evidence supports to a very very high degree of certainty. If you want to talk science, then it's not really a matter of opinion or all...

ALERT THE INTERNETS! Who's to say that? Nobody in particular. You can believe that if you want. It just isn't something that can be supported scientifically, so you'll have to believe it on your own. It's not my job to search for ways of proving god to be fake. If you think there is...

Seriously, where did all the guys go that were asking questions? No response?

I know you're all joking, but what you've got, you've got, and evolution won't change it. It only happens to populations over time: the individuals are stuck with the genetic code they are born with. Mostly the only thing you are going to get out of any subsequent genetic mutations in your...

All that work answering, and no response?

In a certain way, it IS the contact with the water that does, in the sense that living near the water presents different challenges for survival, and different opportunities for new changes to gain the upper hand by proving themselves useful in dealing with it. Living in the water a lot more...

Ok: so? This is exactly what the fossil record shows them developing. Again, so? Creatures have obviously figured out all sorts of ways to handle this, and the development of new ways is not implausible. Reptiles today, for instance, often manage body temperature simply by moving in and...

This is a common confusion: the step by step change is gradual. But the PACE of change may not be steady or gradual at all. Right in the Origin of Species, Darwin says that he doesn't expect the pace of change to be steady: in fact he expects it to reach equilibriums all the time during which...

Ok, I'll answer, just give me a sec. :)

True, though there were always a bunch of things that never quite fit, and also this had to do with the quality of the evidence being too low to make clear the distinctions and problems that would crop up when, say, telescopes and such became much more powerful tools. Also true, but then, so...

Origin does discuss objections to his theory: and then answers those objections. So I'm not sure what you mean, exactly. Darwin WAS wrong about any number of things, and his vision of things was incomplete and only part of the whole picture (just as likely that our understanding today is...

Gradually. Yep. That's the basic idea in a nutshell, though grazing may not be quite right since clearly some ate meat. But both the genes of whales and the fossil record seem to point at the same answer in the same way. The closest living terrestrial relative to whales? Hippos...

Well, that's nice, but we are apes and are related to apes. Do you consider several billion years to be "that long"? If so, then congratulations, you're right. If not, then all evidence says you're wrong. If we did get here "another way" then someone went to a great deal of trouble to make...

I've got bad news for you then: Humans are not only descended from apes, but the ARE apes. By your definition, they are apes who changed to fit a particular environment (one that, presumably, saw value in being highly social and using hands and tools). But they are still apes by pretty...
