(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Discuss whether you believe that all life evolved from simple organisms in the primordial soup or whether you think that all animals were put on this planet individually. (Either by God or any other reason.)

I, personally, believe in evolution. There's so much evidence to support it, yet there is a small amount of evidence that could be used to discredit it. But evolution makes so much sense!

As such, our bodies will adapt to our environment. If we no longer need survival skills, we'll be getting weaker over time. On the flipside, we would probably also become smarter, as that is what most high paying jobs in this society require.


Wrong. The whole mechanism of evolution, natural selection works in that environmental pressures kill of parts of the population which have lower fitness, as a result they fail to reproduce and do not pass down their genes. While ones who gain favorable traits through genetic mutations will have a greater chance to reproduce and survive, thus passing down their traits and spreading it within the gene pool.

Due to our removal from environmental pressures, the only way we may evolve is based on who gets laid more, if an individual gains a trait from genetics that makes them unattractive to members of the opposite chance and they do not have a chance to reproduce, they will not pass down their genes. But I think the way human society is right now, there are no real clear genetic traits that will help you get laid and reproduce more...but even if it worked this way, we've pretty much removed ourselves from natural selection and into artificial selection since the factors that cause the direction of the change is artificial rather than natural.

I never said anything about natural selection, I just said evolution. But I suppose it would be difficult to figure out what the ideal qualities are that attract the largest amount of potential mates, so it would be difficult for any traits to become pronounced throughout the race.

Evolution happens only because of natural selection in a natural world. In human society, removed from natural selection, and where modern medicine will allow most people, even with lower fitness or generally undesirable genes to survive and possibly reproduce,evolution is pretty much halted. We wouldn't lose physical prowess through artificial selection, the only thing that we could possibly be evolving towards is like, getting hotter or something.

And there has actually been a study done that shows humans are generally getting taller, guess taller people get laid more :P

There's way too much evidence of evolution to dispute it... not saying that there's no Supernatural force at all, but 2 things can coexist.
