How does anyone even attempt to a) study this, b) publish this, and c) get people to believe this? X

On a sad note

http://www.cnn.com/2006/TECH/science/07/14/darwin.finches.ap/index.html

I think this "evolution" is happening too fast for evolutionists. Also this has been seen before. The beaks increase in size then they decrease again...this is adaptation not evolution. I know I say this all the time but I can't believe people can believe this or at least claim this is evolution.

I guess we are overdue in our evolutionary leap. European kings would keep their bloodlines pure sometimes by marrying within the family, which produced exaggerated features. So the french prince (heh) with the big nose is actually evolving! oh boy! rapid mutations = evolution in action. I can't wait till I get my gills. Im so tired of not being able to breath underwater.

"Thanks science!"

No Briney you forget we lost our gills 43.543 million years ago. That means loosing is evolution. I really don't understand why we should have lost our gills and not kept them. Just think about the benefits...more hunting and gathering, more places to run from predators, be able to exercise more. I really don't understand it. Of course if we were created all special 10,000 years ago by a Being who knows better that would make a whole lot more sense.

Quote:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Snakes may make people jump for a good reason -- human close-up vision may have evolved specifically to spot the reptiles, researchers reported on Thursday.

"A snake is the only predator you really need to see close up. If it's a long way away it's not dangerous," said Isbell, who has published her theory in the Journal of Human Evolution.

And I think we "evolved" farting in our sleep to ward off potential predators. Maybe the reason we have ears is to listen for incoming angry beavers. Perhaps our sense of touch evolved first so we could go around feeling potential food sources. If its sharp, dont eat it.

These "scientists" would do better off at the art school I go to because their sense of creativity is off the scale. Don't push your random crackpot ideas on us please. How about you wait until the scientific method is complete, and you have enough proof to back up your rediculous theories.

I think reporters should lay off on this stuff too. I mean the real point of that article must be to support evolution or cause controversy, because if it was concrete truth, who the heck would care about this so-called finding?

Anyway, maybe this is the real reason snakes are bad

"And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.

And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:

And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel."

Quote:

Like most natural history museums, this one has exhibits showing dinosaurs roaming the Earth. Except here, the giant reptiles share the forest with Adam and Eve.

That, of course, is contradicted by science, but that's the point of the $25 million Creation Museum rising fast in rural Kentucky.

Yes, I'd like to resign as a citizen of this planet due to the fact that there is a bias that is clouding the judgement of most human beings, thanks to the brilliant minds at the various institutions.

..ugh
