Thread: Who do you "pray" to?

But how do any of those technologies relate to evolution?
You're suggesting that electromagnetism evolved?

I pointed out three scientific theories: electro-magnetism, atoms, and gravity.

I then pointed out three technologies based on these theories: radios, bombs, and falling pianos.

Isn't it obvious that denying the theories while accepting the technology is absurd?

Yes, of course. Electricity from lightning results in new species forming.


Haha, gotcha!?



I was pointing out that once a theory yeilds viable technology, doubting it is unreasonable. Electromagnetism is one such theory, and so is Evolution.

At least as of the last biology class/textbook I had (2003) mutation resulting in a new species was completely unverified.

The phenomenon is called speciation, and it has been observed. The Talk Origins archive is good for this sort of stuff.

Could you please provide a direct link to proven speciation?

EDIT:

OK, I looked on your previous link. One exaple they give:


Scallops of the genus Chesapecten show gradual change in one "ear" of their hinge over about 13 million years. The ribs also change (Pojeta and Springer 2001; Ward and Blackwelder 1975).

OK, so you again have change within a species over time, it does not provide any evidence that I saw (a rather brief review) of change from one form into another. The example above is documented over 13 million years as well.
