When you are talking about our GOD please use a little more respect. We respect you, please respect us. Especially the drunk part.

Would you care to acknowledge my evolution post?

After saying something like this, I know me arguing has a 99.9% chance of futility, but I am damn well going to try.

http://www.sciencenews.org/view/generic/...evolution_

This is an experiment done on E-coli, over 44,000 generations. The e-coli were given a limited supply of food, but enough to survive and placed in citrate. After 31,000 generations the e-coli developed a new ability to absorb nutrients from the citrate. Since a specimen was frozen from every 500, then went back to the 20,000 generation and found that if you started with e-coli from this point, they were much more likely to develop the abiliity to absorb citrate. In the process leading to this new ability, they found that two genetic drift's occurred, and after each drift the chance that e-coli would develop the absorbing ability increased.

After seeing this, how can you not believe in Evolution? I'll remind you of the definition in case you forgot.

"In biology, evolution is the process of change in the inherited traits of a population of organisms from one generation to the next. The genes that are passed on to an organism's offspring produce the inherited traits that are the basis of evolution. Mutations in genes can produce new or altered traits in individuals, resulting in the appearance of heritable differences between organisms, but new traits also come from the transfer of genes between populations, as in migration, or between species, in horizontal gene transfer. In species that reproduce sexually, new combinations of genes are produced by genetic recombination, which can increase the variation in traits between organisms. Evolution occurs when these heritable differences become more common or rare in a population."

You'll notice that, after 31,000 generations, a major inherited trait changed from one generation to the next.

You're welcome.

You are talking micro-evolution. From what I understand most Christians who have a problem with evolution don't believe in macro-evolution. Personally I don't think either mico-evolution or macro-evolution is contradicted by the Bible.
