    Since it was 3.5 billion years ago, there are no traces. However you can work backwards through time and surmise the direrection . Entering all know data ,you make a computer model to show how it works. https://news.nationalgeographic.com/...ngle-ancestor/

    Thats what they do with evolution....
    you 'surmise' your own evidence ?..rats have legs and so do humans, hence etc. etc........sounds exactly like what those Bible thumpers do....
    Put blame where it belongs
    ATF decided it could not regulate bump stocks during the Obama administration.
    It that time," the NRA wrote in a statement. "The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semiautomatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations."
    The ATF and Obama admin. ignored the NRA recommendations.

    Scientists try to speak with precision. I, personally, believe in evolution, but when it becomes a "fact" scientists will stop calling it a "theory."

    Parts of it are fact.

    Bacteria evolve resistance to antibiotics through natural selection acting on mutations. I absolutely believe that because the evidence is unassailable.

    When you get into macro evolution I start to get a little shakey lol, though I’m fairly confident in it. I’m even more skeptical of the alleged jump from single cell organisms to multicellular organisms with organs, limbs etc.

    And even though it’s not evolution, I’m severely skeptical something like DNA and the genetic code could form from simple organic chemicals, regardless of time or number of trials involved.

    Of course he does. He is a delusional hate filled moron whose ego is aligned with an absolute absurdity.
    Why would he not hate objectivism, rationalism, empiricism, logic, proportion and reality?

    They are delusional idiots. They are incapable of reason. It would take deprogramming to make these losers worthy of your time in conversation.

    But as strictly a philosophical matter, it’s quite rational to infer design based on the evidence.

    Why is that so threatening to some people?



    No of course it is not rational at all to infer that. Feel free to articulate in English exactly upon what evidence you draw the inference(s)

    What is understandable and lamentable is how some uneducated and undisciplined people buy in to the anthropomorphism that projects the
    false sense of human intention upon the natural universe. It's the most important thing to science that this fault does not occur.

    As scientists we want to understand the world as an intelligent robot. What your sad religion does is explain reality 90 percent injecting
    human emotion and experience onto the subject of investigation.

    What? Evolutionists have real evidence and they track it back a long long way. The bible has zip, just a belief with no new evidence and no old evidence. Is that what you really thought? Damn.

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

    Do you mean the evidence, predictive testing, and observation supporting a theory and claimed to have proven something that later changes because someone else found different "evidence" that refutes what has been called proven fact? 2 + 2 = 4 is a fact. Something claimed as proven fact doesn't change. If it does, it really wasn't a fact at all.
