CreateDebate is a social debate community built around ideas, discussion and democracy.
If this is your first time checking out a debate, here are some quick tips to help get you started:
Arguments with the highest score are displayed first.
Argument replies (both in favor and in opposition) are displayed below the original argument.
To follow along, you may find it helpful to show and hide the replies displayed below each argument.
To vote for an argument, use these icons:
You have the power to cast exactly one vote (either up or down) for each argument.
Once you vote, the icon will become grayed out and the argument's score will change.
Yes, you can change your vote.
Debate scores, side scores and tag scores are automatically calculated by an algorithm that primarily takes argument scores into account.
All scores are updated in real-time.
To learn more about the CreateDebate scoring system, check out the FAQ.
When you are ready to voice your opinion, use the Add Argument button to create an argument.
If you would like to address an existing argument, use the Support and Dispute link within that argument to create a new reply.
Living organisms mutate and give rise to change. These changes can become permanent and even be passed on to future generations.
Hello i:
Close, but no cigar.. When dealing in matters like these, specificity is paramount. Lemme help.
The changes are NOT permanent, and absolutely WILL be passed on. Some of those changes, of course, die out as life evolves, and life continues to evolve to this day.
In order for evolution to be possible, an organism must be able to add new information to its genome. So far, scientists have not demonstrated that such a feat is even remotely possible. But atheists believe it can happen, even though there is absolutely no evidence for it. Thus demonstrating that it requires more faith to be an atheist than a Christian.

It is 100 percent true. How do you think things supposedly evolve? They need to increase the size of their genome. They need to add new information. There is no known method that can accomplish this. Also, it has never been witnessed to happen.
Ok. You're referring to orphan genes. This is another example of how atheists look at something that is true and come to the wrong conclusion. Instead of being open to the possibility that evolution is wrong, you make this claim, without evidence, that they are simply new genes that popped up from nowhere. Sorry. I don't have enough faith to believe such nonsense.

Hello G:
Nahh⦠Photons from the sun MUTATES your DNA.. Gamma rays from outer space MUTATES your genes.. Your ENVIRONMENT changes your genes..
Those aren't secrets. Of course, if you learned your science in CHURCH, then these facts don't compute.. Dude!
That may be true. But it is also true that God created a miraculous way for our bodies to repair that damage. That's why we don't look like a bunch of mutated freaks.
What if new information is added. Slowly over time. Think of a DNA strand. That strand has the ability to be damaged, say decay or radiation, that causes some of the genetic make up to be altered slightly. Then this cell will either A) die B) Not be effected or C) the cell will excel. If the cell can live or thrive then it will go through mitosis, thus spreading the gene. When a new offspring is made, it is more susceptible to mutations due to the smaller amount of initial cells. These mutations of genes are what I would refer to as evolving. Over time, these mutations would become new species until they mutated again, or died. Some cells would be more susceptible to mutation over time, so some would stay relatively unchanged.
You do realize that it is impossible to add new information to a genome. Right? That is what would be required for evolution to happen. But in reality, nature can only work with what's already there.
Proved this wrong years ago, yet you're still making the same claim.
When reality clashes with Grugore's insane religious zealotry he simply invents a new one. It's very difficult to argue with somebody like that because their own mental health problems prevent them from any form of self-analysis and/or self-criticism.
Scientists have literally grown human ears on the backs of lab rats before. There's a good article about how evolution adds new genetic information here:-

Evolution is undeniable, unlike religious claims. The reason it is undeniable is because the physiological and genetic properties of most organisms can be traced back to other organisms. To suggest that life must be created is to suggest that the only way to explain a complex thing is to imagine that there must be an even more complex thing. If you cannot explain life without God then how on earth do you expect to explain God? That is why the notion that life or the universe must be created is causally retarded.
To suggest that life must be created is to suggest that the only way to explain a complex thing is to imagine that there must be an even more complex thing.
Exactly, which is the opposite of the way we have noticed things to work. Complex things are preceded by less complex things, not more complex things.
Apparently, prior to a few thousand years ago, no humans were historians. They were eating bananas and swinging from trees. Or is that just your ancestors? I think mine were acting as skilled hunters on the prairie, or perhaps you'd like to make a monkey reference to brown people, eh con?
IF your history is written correctly, then evolution disproves it.
I guess you aren't a Jew because they didn't exist. The star of David is a wankified lie. David didn't exist. You're a Capitalist, right wing neo nazi halfwitted mental sloth.
The crack got up your nose early today, eh nom? Did you use an illegal straw to snort said crack? Admit you got the straw from the underground straw market.
If one species came from another species how come there are still both species here now? This disproves evolution!
Hello i:
When an evolutionary mutation occurs, it occurs in ONE plant or ONE animal.. It doesn't change the entire species at once.. So, there can BE a mutated variety right along side a NON mutated variety.
It's entirely possible for the mutated variety to evolve into something totally different than the non-mutated variety did.
My understanding of the Bible indicates that the Earth is exactly 6,000 years old and even if evolution were possible, scientists claim that evolution would take millions of years to occur, therefore Evolution is fake!
DNA proves that humans evolved from proteins to bacteria-like things, to fish-like things, to lizard-like things, to rat-like things, to ape-like things, to modern day humanoids. Anyone who questions or denies this is a religious idiot!
Or a religious person that isn't limited by linear thinking and can imagine a creator creating a system that evolves things while he observes the results.
Or a religious person that isn't limited by linear thinking and can imagine a creator creating a system
That's the very definition of linear thinking: "You should not explore the myriad of possibilities because if something exists, then something else must have created it." Scientists are not limited because they (at least the good ones) do not make their conclusions first and then search for evidence to validate them.
