Fossil evidence is proof of an extinct animal. So are the giant dinosaurs bones that I see in the museum. That is evidence of an extinct animal. DNA is simply the dna make up of the extinct animal.That is all it tells us. In order for it to be data used you would have to show many animals...
Simple, they excell in a niche with very little competion, few health issues, and perpetuate well in that habitat. They can and do enter freshwater systems, but are limited by other species already doing well there.
The POV, by R. Wood that terrapins gave rise to many graptemys is long out of...
I also want to extend a welcome. I am enjoying this thread. I have great respect for you and Tom discussing also disagreeing without belittling one another but instead challenging each other in a positive fashion. Its a breath of fresh air and an interesting thread. Welcome
I am seeing a pattern of you avoiding the question lets go back to the beginning? I think this is the fifth time asked. Are you avoiding the question? Please educate us on the evolutionary beginning and lets go from there.
In my opinion the best way to advance this discussion about macro evolution is starting at the beginning and systematically go through the evolutionary process.Looking at scientific evidence as we go through. Ideally using explanations based on observation, experimentation, reasoning and...
Exactly!!!! Some people are just in denial . Real science would have data , pictures, experiments, observations, & studies noted to prove this is what happened. They can't go back in time to prove these changes. Complete changes of macro-evolution have not been documented since Darwins time...
Ok, this is soooo sad to me. There is what science has become because of the evolutionary theory. You are stating here in your post and thank you for being honest as this is how evolution is backed up by other theories!! Theories are not facts they are a system of ideas intended to explain...
Scientific facts are necessary to prove evolution as a scientific law so your right its not possible we do agree on that one.It's just a theory. You can believe that theory and defend it .I have no problem with that but please don't call it a fact or scientific law. That is my pet peeve.
Too bad this was closed
Are you saying the fossil record is scientific facts proving macro evolution ? Evolution is a scientific theory that has not been proven. A theory.
