Description:

The world is full of misinformation. Interesting how most of the Young Earth Creationists and people pushing Intelligent Design, clearly don't have an education in the biological sciences. Evolution is the product of Natural Selection AND Mutation. Either alone does nothing. Evolution is the logical outcome of the world around us. Organisms that store their genetic information in DNA are guaranteed to have mutations. Mutation produce NEW variation. Reproducing organisms are guaranteed to compete for resources. Competition between variable organisms leads to natural selection, i.e. those organisms that possess variation that gives then an advantage will out compete those who don't. Organisms with deleterious variation will lose to all other organisms. In this way the ENVIRONMENT SELECTS the best organisms, which has the effect of passing beneficial mutations on to the next generation and removing deleterious ones. Over time natural selection will lead to a net shift in the genome of the population, i.e. evolution. Yes, this really is evolution. Changes in allele frequency, changes in gene expression, changes in transcription factor binding efficiency, they are all evolution. Logic predicts evolution, and observation confirms it. Evolution has been observed in the lab and in nature. Speciation (macroevolution) has been observed in the lab and in nature. Large changes in appearance has been observed in the lab and in nature. Beneficial mutations have been observed in the lab and in nature. To deny evolution is to deny direct observation. It is as silly as denying that the sky is blue.

great vid! Especially where you showed how the organisms followed the sinus-modulated environment. Great!

ID is basically Christians trying to jump back into the game by trying to form an intermediate. But just as when if finally was universally accepted that hte earth is round. Im sure Christians and other religions will just say that evolution is God's way....Even though they vehemently denied that possiblity for the last 150 years. O well thats the world i guess

You do good vids cdk, thanks, but I hope you see them as educational, not part of an "evolution debate", there is no debate, just some ignorance.

Fantastic demonstration of virtual evolution. I wonder how you got so much idiotic creationist psychobabble in your recent comments. Maybe it's just the same person with multiple accounts. But then again maybe I underestimate how many delusional people there are.

There is no fossil evidence for macro evolution. Beneficial mutations that do occasionally occur have never increased the complexity of a life form. That is why a fish never turned into a mammal. It is impossible, no matter how many billions of years you can give it. Macro-evolution is less scientific than Intelligent Design. People just don't want to admit it because they'll have to admit there must be a God they will be accountable to when they die.

"Macro-evolution is less scientific than Intelligent Design. People just don't want to admit it because they'll have to admit there must be a God they will be accountable to when they die." There you have it folks - ID is creationism. Thank you for clearing that up. "no fossil evidence for macro evolution." Never been to a museum huh? "have never increased the complexity" AFGP gene in Arctic cod is an example.

No, its because ID is a stupid ignorant idea that the uneducated and slow cling to, so they dont feel stupid, which they are, including you.

1. There is evidence, and plenty of it. That you choose not to acknowledge it does not alter the fact. 2. Evolution is not geared toward greater complexity: greater complexity is merely a "by-product."
