i googled 'first instance of blue eyes in people.' it occurred about 10,000 years ago and was beneficial. that is why it is still around. couldnt decide on just one site to link. so many. check it out for yourself.

Atheist evolutionists are just playing one big dangerous game of Truth or Dare.

Actually there is nothing to argue about. Evolution is fact. Period. It would be like debating whether or not the Earth is flat.

Explaining reality to a fundy is equal to trying to teach a dog how to play chess.

Thats you sorted. Now go home and play with your Barbie doll.

Abiogenesis Lola, you're still confusing evolution with abiogenesis.

Evolution is not science. From finch beaks it extrapolates to origin of humans. 

Science is experiments that can be repeated. I accept the parts of evolution that can be demonstrated. Everything else is just a good story.

Show me a live cell combining from chemicals, and I might start paying attention. That would be called evidence. 

Don't tell me to accept it on faith. That is called religion.

The thing with finch beaks and humans - check out first post in this thread.

As for experiments check out E. coli Long-term Experimental Evolution

Evolution theory is not about life creted from non-life, this science is called Abiogenesis 

Every single word you wrote in that post is wrong, wrong as in "Paris is probably the capital of China"-wrong as in "I dont know anything, and cannot use google and cannot read books"-wrong. Not wrong in any interesting sence, just a big black hole of misunderstanding.

That is not how science works. You need to have experimental proof. 

You should relabel your chart Why do people believe Evolution. Because they don't understand it.

There is a link to an experiment in the post you answered.

Eventually, evolution itself will sort out this dreary old "debate".

Can you give me ONE, OBSERVABLE EXAMPLE of life coming from nonlife?

Can you give me one observable example of a universe in the process of being created by a supernatural being?

I think what people reject is the idea they can broaden their minds to something new ... have a change in opinion, or even accept the opinion of someone who's views oppose their own.

Creationists on one side. Evolutionists on the other. And those religous people who accept evolution unable to persuade the former groups to accept a middle ground.

Maybe whats evident here is that if evolution is correct, and assuming this means a persons ability to imagine will evolve with natural selection over time too, we still have a long way to go before (as a consensus) we can readily empathise with views contrary to those we have personal connection to.

There's a difference though, people believing in science and evolution understand the religious view (world created by god etc), whereas the religion people don't even understand the science stuff. And what it worse, that they don't understand them doesnt stop them from having opinions about it, which then are mostly garbled nonsense.

For instance all the people saying "evolution doesnt explain where life came from". Lol no, it was never meant to do that.

It's like criticizing the new iPhone because it isnt very good at shovelling. Like you have no idea what the thing is even for or what it does, and you dont want to listen to what anybody tells you, you just decided that an iPhone is made for shovelling and its bad at it lol. And when you are told "it aint a shovel, its an iphone, you're not supposed to shovel with it" you just respond with a blind stare and "maybe so,but it still iz no gud at shovlin me no like diz shovel"

This is the level the evolution critics are on mostly ... very very very very low lol

maybe the other people understand far more than what you are capable of understanding.
