Atheists, why can't evolution be found in nature?

Answer 1

If you do not know what evolution is, then you won't be able to find evidence of it. The same thing happens when you don't know what a tree is. If you do not know, then you won't find any trees in nature.

Even if you can find a tree, you cannot see a tree grow, because it happens so slowly that even if you stare at it nonstop for several days, you won't see the tree grow. Similarly, evolution does not happen overnight. Therefore you cannot see evolution even if you are staring at something living. Besides, evolution does not happen the same way that a tree grows. A tree may grow continuously, year after year but evolution may happen suddenly for a short time, because of environmental changes, but if the environment does not change, then a species may not evolve or change for millions of years or longer. Even when a species evolves rapidly to a new one, it takes more than a single generation, and no one can predict which species will give rise to a new one. Therefore even if you live millions of years, you would not know where to look and where to look and you may wind up not seeing any evolutionary changes.

Nevertheless even though we cannot see a tree grow, we can cut it up and see evidence of growth in the tree rings. Similarly, if we look at the fossil record, we see evidence of evolution. we see evidence for example, of humans evolving because as we look in older and older layers of rocks, we see fossils that look less and less like humans and more and more like an ape. For example, Homo erectus is our ancestor and it is very similar to us. It lived from about 1.8 million years ago to about 50,000 years ago. If we look in older layers of rocks we see australopithecines They are still identifiable as being very similar to humans but their skulls look a lot more like those of apes than those of humans. The fossil record therefore tells us that humans evolved from an ape.

BIBLE THUMPERS... why can't evolution be found in nature.... same answer to the same question...

Answer 3

the evidence is everywhere. Where is evidence of your beliefs?

Answer 4

Evolution can't be "found" in nature because it happens over the course of thousands or millions of years, and we people just live a few decades. You can observe natural selection, however, which is a formative part of evolution.

Answer 5

Dot, evolution happens every day in nature. Unfortunately, in a fast-food world, it does not happen fast, so you desire to not believe. You need to READ "Origin of Species," not just bloviate on what you THINK you know, fed to you by others who never read it, either.

Answer 6

It has been observed in nature for thousands of years. It was used in the 13th century, by the Church, as a proof of God (its study was part of Natural Theology) and the book "Summa Contra Gentiles" (Thomas Aquinas, around 1260) implies that to deny evolution is to deny God.
Of course, back then, it was assumed that evolution proceeded through direct divine intervention. What Charles Darwin did was to propose an explanation (a theory) as to how evolution COULD proceed without the need for direct divine intervention. THAT is the part that annoyed a lot of people. Evolution itself was accepted BECAUSE it was observed in nature.

Because they are unable to show the theory is false, some people have decided to deny evolution itself (you don't need a theory of evolution if you have no evolution). This would be like, for a Flat Earther, to get rid of the "spherical Earth theory" by denying the existence of Earth.

Answer 7

Look harder. Try the various forensic examinations of the various sub-species of humans on the planet. Look into their genetics.
Why are the bones of males different from females?
How do they tell the difference in caucasion, asian, or african-origination skeletons.
Why are Europeans of the same family blood lines generally taller in North America than in their families source country?
Why do some caucasian European descent people have one, perhaps 2 five-root molars? Why Only caucasisn European descent?
Evolution, when defined as adaptation and recombination into differing, but adaptable SUB SPECIES is all sround you.
If you still think evolution is going from monkey to man, you're up the wrong tree and wrong timeline.

Answer 9

Evolution is the process of heritable change in populations of organisms over multiple generations... all of that happen in nature...

Answer 10

It can. It is the reason there are different flu shots each year.
