"if a species can greatly change, why can't it continue changing all the way into a completely different form of animal.

btw, wathc this video, it's very easy to follow, and shows how easily it is for something to greatly change,

Oh the uneducated irony is killing me."

Uneducated? I was taught the theory of evolution, and I got an A on the test. Like Brad said, the theory says chimps and humans evolved from a common ancestor. It also says that humans are now the slowest changing species, with a less than 1% change rate compared to most other mammals. It also says humans are not necessarily the dominant species. It depends on circumstances. If I was in the jungle, I would rather be a chimp than a human... But I chose to stick with believing that God created Heaven and Earth. God always has been and always will be. It's how I was brought up. I believe as long as I keep my true faith in God, he will help guide me through any obstacle I may encounter. It's worked so far. I got into my dream college, the Auburn University School of Engineering- majoring in Software Engineering. "

first, stop pretending there's a difference between adaptation and evolution
and second, posts like that are likely to start a religous debate, which would really ruin this conversation.

if anyone wants to argue about religion, private messaging would probably be the best place to do it. in fact, i'm inviting anyone who feels like having a civilized discussion with an atheist to pm me about whatever you want. but lets keep this thread on topic.
"

There is a difference. Adaptation is when you move from a low altitude to a high altitude, and eventually adjust so you don't notice the lower oxygen levels anymore. Evolution is a genetic change."

If you can honestly believe that DNA does not change from generation to generation, then you sir, are an ignoramus.

(lol, I just used "ignoramus" in a sentence)"

I believe he's trying to distinguish between microevolution and macroevolution."

ok, but they both require evolution to work."

"It's like when the dinosaurs evolved into the weaker and completely inferior forms we see today! I mean, a raptor into a bird? Genius. "

it's not about "inferior vs superior," it's about which is most likely to live. a raptor may be more powerful than a bird, but the bird was more adapted to live in the specific environmental conditions that caused the dinos to die out."

RATM bag I guess... Man Purses for the meh...

It's like when the dinosaurs evolved into the weaker and completely inferior forms we see today! I mean, a raptor into a bird? Genius. 

"youll hit puberty....OH THE HORROR!!!!!!!"

So there was this massive tree, and when I went inside it was dark and spooky, and there were stairs leading up. these two robots started talking to me and led me upstairs. Then this huge lion appeared and yelled at me for some reason, and then I realized it was Memphis from big brother. Then I realized the whole tree was full of the big brother cast, only they were all lions. So I did stuff, and then got sent on a mission to find some way to stop memphis, because he took over the tree. so I go to this fairground, and there's this girl there who's pretty hott, only I'm bernard from day of the tentacle now. so I have this psychic vision of me and the girl making out in a tree, and I think to myself "hmm... maybe if I get her really drunk this can work out". So I got to the water slide that happens to be running on whisky (no... maybe it was something else) so I take her on it and I get so fucking drunk because I drink like a ton of the water on the way down. so my parents are suddenly there and they're like "damn, jo, you're really drunk! walk in a straight line!" so I walk in a straight line and then I fall over, and the girl runs away. and then I die and my ghost floats over a mountain and I ask my friend Zac if I should buy "Watchmen" and he's like "NOOOOO" so then I reincarnate as myself (not bernard) and I go back to the tree, for I have found the secret to destroying memphis. I go there and at the base of the tree I see Jason, Jono, and Bennet (kids that used to go to school with me) all packing and they're like "Dude, the vampires took over. I wouldn't go upstairs if I were you, memphis is pissed. he killed everyone." and so I say "well, boys, I have to stop memphis somehow." and so I tell the robots to transform into a helicopter and they do. so I float up to the top of the tree and approach memphis' lair. I tap Triangle several times and the door opens, but then my helicopter breaks. Memphis is pissed that I broke his door and the vampires are closing in on me. so I jump down to the bottom floor of the tree and I wake up. Also somewhere in there I saw an airplane with the people from lost on it, and I saw the date "Septemper 16th" flash over and over again.
