See Neanderthal argument aboveOriginally Posted by: 6strngs_2hmbkrs
our own bodys also addapt to certain changes... someone who is extremely athletic will obviously have a different body composure to someone who sits in front of the tv and eats mcdonalds all day... because a body adapts to what it is subjected to... but that doesn't mean it's changing species...

You are confusing appearance with genetics. A fat person has the same genes as a thinner version of them selves. If the mother looses her arm in an accident the offspring wont be born with one arm because of it.Originally Posted by: 6strngs_2hmbkrs
also... if we did evolve from monkeys, then where are the transitional forms? wouldn't it have taken millions of years to undergo a change like that?
[/QUOTE]
Yep that is correctOriginally Posted by: 6strngs_2hmbkrs
so you would think that there would be millions, maybe even billions of dead bodys somewhere,
[/QUOTE]
Well they went to the same place that all dead bodies go to, it is the carbon cycle ! Why should they be resistant to bacterial decomposition etc etc
[QUOTE=6strngs_2hmbkrs]
and at least some would had to have been fossilized for us to find...
Like the Neanderthals mentioned above ?
[QUOTE=6strngs_2hmbkrs]
by the way. if you are going to try and tell me that there have been transitional forms found, well most of those turned out to be hoaxes,
Like the Neanderthals mentioned above ? Cf the encyclopedia ref, check out Museums etc.
[QUOTE=6strngs_2hmbkrs]
and just one more argument, if, we've been evolving for billions of years, wouldn't the population of earth be much higher?
Why would that be, evolution doesn't stop people from being dead eventually?
[QUOTE=6strngs_2hmbkrs]
you'd have to think that if we have had that long to reproduce that there would be a whole lot more people and animals around...
No mate that is what is meant by ecology and population dynamics. There are many rules governing population density, like food availability, predation, climate etc etc. Just because you are better at getting useful resources or avoiding being eaten than the species you evolved from doesn't mean you can suddenly take over the world !
