NASA says humans could land on Mars in 25 years

I believe that evolution is real as there is just too much evidence with much of it compiled in Dawkins 'The Greatest Show on Earth'. There is just far too much evidence to refute IMO. Now could aliens have planted the seeds of life like in Prometheus? Possibly, but we have no evidence for that, so I would just go with the evidence that exists as it is all that we have. Life started and then it evolved and I am comfortable with that until something comes along to demolish it. That is what I like about science is that it is theory and open to change providing something more concrete comes along to throw it onto a new path. But the theory of evolution does fit into place quite perfectly.

Do you have a better suggestion than evolution, Alpha?

I do not know enough about moon landings to have a proper view, but I should know more about space travel and this kind of thing. It is my next topic for research after my next few books.

My belief is that we were created by something, everything is to perfect to have just started randomly from nothing.

Evolution is so basic when you look at it.

So out of this explosion, that is unlike every other explosion you have had experience around, this explosion creates something. Then out of that, for no reason life started, and out of that we got fish, and then the fish came onto land, but unlike every fish you have ever had experience with, these ones change their gills into lungs, really? Most fish die in a couple of minutes from my experience, but lets let that slide. Then they somehow mutated to apes, and then to us. The glaring whole right there is, where are all these in between mutations? There should be millions of them everywhere.

Also there has never been macro mutations.

Micro mutations is mutations in a species over a length of time. Macro mutations is one species mutating into another species. Can't happen. All Darwin's theory was written before any proof on these mutations was discovered. Hence his 'theory'.

It takes about 8 and a half hours but here it is. You will miss all the diagrams, but it is a great book and Dawkins has a very nice voice.

I like Dawkins, but there is no evidence of these mutations. Doesn't matter how long the video is, answer is still the same, evidence please.

Most people think carbon dating means its fact, but how many actually know how accurate it is? I doubt you will find anywhere saying that it is accurate past 60,000 years. But they want to speculate billions of years back?

Believing something because you see it in a video or diagrams defies logic.

Again it's blindly following a theory and trying to claim it as fact.

That's what fossil records are, they are a puzzle of the past being put back together. The pieces always appear to fit thus justifying the theory.

But no fossil's of these in between mutations?

What do you mean there is no evidence of macro mutation, do we not see this in dogs and cats, for example, over a relatively short time span? To see the evolution of a creature in the sense that it goes from the sea to the land you are talking a very long period of time, but we do have fossil records as incomplete as they are. You have to go by the evidence that exists. I am sure if we make it another million years we will be little bit different and have a fossil record to show it. We have records, though not perfect, for how we have got where we are today.

Here is the evolution of our friend the whale.

What do you mean we see it in cats and dogs? I've never seen a cat mutate into a dog. That's what macro mutation is. 1 species mutating into another.

Again where are all these in between mutations? And why have all the supposed links they have found, Lucy etc turned out to be hoaxes?

What happens to a fish when you see it out of water? Don't worry about what you have seen or taught, from your experience in life, what happens to a fish when out of water?

A mutation means that something in the evolutionary process changes to produce something different, but that does not mean you can just flip into a new species. You will only move on from the common ancestor that you have. A cat is not going to evolve into a dog, but you have seen cats of all types evolve certainly over millions of years with the different types of wild cats and their various appearances, sizes and characteristics. Even in the relatively short term we have seen many types of dogs emerge by blending other dogs and in a very short period of time. Along with it come health issues as such evolution has been too quick and at a detrimental cost to the poor mutt who wasn't going to emerge like that through natural selection alone.
