The sandwich exists because something had to be made and to break down the energy from the sun.


Ok, so you're agreeing that deconstruction is infinitely easier than reconstruction. Apply this to the idea of an entire species becoming MORE advanced over time.

Where do you get the idea that the human race hasn't changed for 160,000 years? Thats fucking rediculous!!!
Find me information to oppose it. I actually read it in a Discover magazine sitting on my desk right now, and it seems it's accurate.

The true fact is, that we, like all species, are necesarily changing all the time. For example, in america, some people are geneticly more prone to alchoholism. These people are more likely to die in a car accident. Therefore car accidents are a factor that reduces the amount of alchoholics in the population. People who are geneticly prone to skin cancer will die quicker as the ozone depletes. It's simple, goddamnit
You're talking simple adaption, not evolution. Becoming more prone to alcoholism and evolving from primate to human are two very different processes. It's a pretty known fact that species adapt, that's not the argument or the problem. It's when you say one species changes into another. Primates to human, dinosaurs to birds, etc.. If Evolution does occur, where does ALL the extra information come from to make these changes? Entropy states we should be decaying, not advancing in Evolution. Hence, the extra 'information' must come from a source we can't see. Scientists call it "Natural Selection." I can't accept this any longer. If Evolution DOES occur, some higher diety or being is adding information into the system to make it work. And that's essentially the same as Creationism.

Adaptation, on the other hand, is witnessed everyday of your life. If you choose to eat certain foods for diet reasons, your body will "adapt" to that change accordingly. That's not evolution.
