Re: Time for a bit of a challenge...
Natural selection in and of itself can't predict the future (simply because we don't know what the future holds), however, that being said, we can design experiments that allow for conditions that would have selective pressure and measure the results. In that regard, it is predictive. We can genera...

Re: Time for a bit of a challenge...
Obviously you are not going to be able to train your self as an ecologist. And you are in no position to equal this person in that regard. My first advice would be to get trained in spotting logical fallacies. This will allow you to recognize when you friend is doing something contrary to the scien...

Re: Time for a bit of a challenge...
I'm not a biology/evolutionary scientist by any means, so I can't really respond to his points on a lot of that.

Most here accept microevolution, variations within a population that can bring about changes in gene frequencies and shifting the structures within the population. Most here agree that as of yet we don't have any strong evide...

Re: Please, can someone help me?
I greatly appreciate your reply! I think I was taking the evolution thing out of context, actually. After all, it'd be silly to deny there's variation within a kind. I think that's where I tripped up. If I'm reading what you said correctly, by evolution you mean what could be called variation? I agr...

I'm going to start by saying a few things with regard to this forum, there's a few things I would like to criticize. I've also noticed th...
