Evidence for God from Science

If there were no malaria and no cholera, then yes, selection would weed these out (or we would ceratinly see selection to the point where it brings about a much lower frequency. And in those areas that so not have malaria we see a dramatic decrease in the sickle cell gene frequency. However, when y...

NO, First, it's sickle cell that gives them RESISTANCE to MALARIA. THey aren't more liekylt to get it, in fact, the wont have the same degree of symptoms, they survive better than those that are homozygous for the normal hemoglobin gene. Those that have the cystic fibrosis gene seem to have more re...

Hey, I herd someone talking about this in the quote below and had a question about it. :scratch: quote " inborn resistance to cholera. Which is conferred by having an inactive form of the mutation that otherwise causes cystic fibrosis" :brick: Is this mutation "inborn resistance to ch...

BUt this is still microevolution. Whether or not a change makes them weaker (antibiotic resistance for instance can make them shorter lived if I recall correctly) still menas that they were selected for in that environment. There is nothing wrong with this idea. But doesn't the loss of information ...

Thanks zoe, I am still trying to learn other pov as much as I can. I get skeptic about what is fact and what is not in evolution because I have heard things stated as fact about evolution and then have herd it comes down to opinion so now I am on a quest to find out what exactly are the real facts a...

IHowever, there are things learnt in science that can't be denied just because my fellow believers are uncomfortable or offended by them. For instance every year the bacteria responsible for colds mutate and evolve and so remain contagious and able to slip past our immune defences and make us sick,...
