Can people point to tests that have verified that natural selection causes evolutionary change? What tests have they conducted? Do these tests accurately mimic the real world?
Here's a fascinating, and rather timely, example of natural selection in homo sapiens (not a type of bacterium!):
quote:
Lead author Professor John Collinge, Director of the MRC Prion Unit said:
It’s absolutely fascinating to see Darwinian principles at work here. This community of people has developed their own biologically unique response to a truly terrible epidemic. The fact that this genetic evolution has happened in a matter of decades is remarkable. Kuru comes from the same disease family as CJD so the discovery of this powerful resistance factor opens up new areas for research taking us closer to understanding, treating and hopefully preventing a range of prion diseases.
A better question would be, if natural selection's little brother sexual selection has been tested.
What do you mean by "tested"? There are innumerable examples of sexual selection in nature. As usual, a little light googling will turn them up for you .
You creationists are funny. Are there no depths you will not plumb in your pathetic quest to prove the bible is true? Have you guys ever heard of "cognitive dissonance"?
