Re: Back to Basics
I see you're still putting up posts therefore you haven't been silenced. Playing the persecution card a little early in the game aren't we?
People are trying to point out that your take on evolution is not correct and are becoming frustrated at your inability to understand the point. So quit whining and support your arguments with evidence. Okay?
Now...briefly and in simple words:
Evolution is change in populations over time.
Mutation is one source of change.
Natural Selection filters changes by forcing all life to successfully reproduce in order to pass on the changes to following generations.
The Theory of Evolution explains how evolution happens by means of mutation and natural selection and (importantly) other means.
Don't reword any of that please. If you disagree with any of that then there's no point talking about any of the details until we can start talking the same language.
Oh yeah, if you need to change the scope of the thread you can ask the moderator to change the title. I doubt they'd do that in this case since it's gone on so long, but it could help avoid this in the future.
