You gotta do your research.
Evolution is vast and difficult topic.
I can't sit there and tell you from 500 millions ago to the presents.
You know many species they are and were???
ok.. so where did all this life on this earth from man, animals, to plants, trees, etc., come from?
and dont you find it funny that everything in and on this earth is linked and needed eachother to live here? like if bee's, for instance, went extinct; life would drastically change.
us as humans, even the earth, need every animal that is here to maintain the earth.
almost like everything that is here, is 'meant' to be here, right? cuz if it has no reason, then it wouldnt be here, no?
so how does everything here perfectly fit together, by accident?
Going to continue reading thread, but just thought id coment on this here.
If everything on earth perfectly fit togethee, there wouldnt be extinct species. Do you know what percentage of species throughout earths history are extinct?
Educate yourself.
Thanks for reading brother.......
You make a great point about the math involved in evolution.......
There are several mathematicians that disagree with the probabilities of of the smallest self-replicating organism arising from pure random chance..........

" 'Survival of the fittest' and 'natural selection.' No matter what phraseology one generates, the basic fact remains the same: any physical change of any size, shape or form is strictly the result of purposeful alignment of billions of nucleotides (in the DNA). Nature or species do not have the capacity for rearranging them, nor adding to them. Consequently no leap (saltation) can occur from one species to another. The only way we know for a DNA to be altered is through a meaningful intervention from an outside source of intelligence: one who knows what it is doing, such as our genetic engineers are now performing in their laboratories."
Cohen, I.L. (1984)
Darwin Was Wrong: A Study in Probabilities
New York: NW Research Publications, Inc., p. 209
"Cohen showed that the purely mathematical probability AGAINST that organism arising by pure chance is a number with (over) 180,000 zeroes after it (ie., 10 to the 180,000th power.) This is mind-boggling when we consider that superscript numbers, or "powers" tell how many zeroes are in a number.
When dividing superscript numbers, we subtract powers. Since there are 10 to the 80th power seconds in the evolutionary time-frame, there would have had to have been 10 to the 178,920th power random tries PER SECOND for purely random chance to accomplish creation of the SIMPLEST living organism. And that would only get the first organism. Mathematicians consider any probability with a power greater than 50 (that is, a number with 50 zeroes) to be truly "impossible."
Mad impossibilities connected to evolution...................

"The tree of life (TOL), as an organizing metaphor and concept, has been greatly challenged by the discovery of extensive horizontal gene transfer. While various attempts have been made to preserve the traditional TOL, other efforts are now focused on phylogenetic analysis and evolutionary reconstruction beyond the TOL. The articles in this special thematic series of Biology Direct demonstrate methodologically and conceptually new and constructive ways of working with and thinking about the TOL and its phylogenetic legacy. Whether these approaches modify or ultimately reject the TOL, they show the wealth of insight gained by thinking beyond a central icon of evolutionary biology."

Early evolution without a tree of life?????
Life is a chemical reaction. Three major transitions in early evolution are considered without recourse to a tree of life. The origin of prokaryotes required a steady supply of energy and electrons, probably in the form of molecular hydrogen stemming from serpentinization. Microbial genome evolution is not a treelike process because of lateral gene transfer and the endosymbiotic origins of organelles. The lack of true intermediates in the prokaryote-to-eukaryote transition has a bioenergetic cause.

Because
Drew_Ali;5522630 said:The tree-of-life concept was absolutely central to Darwin's thinking
In other words, had Darwin not come up with the tree of life metaphor, he might not have been able to explain his theory of evolution. The metaphor was central to his theory.
Today, we know more about evolution so we can afford to replace the concept with a more accurate depiction of how evolution works.
Again, the article does not say evolution is false.

The article illustrates that what was once known as tree of life.......
Has failed to describe the origins of life.........
A better way to describe them is as a tangled web..........
Which eliminates "common ancestors"......
Thusly..........
Debunking the theory that one species evolved into many...............

No such thing happened. I do recall speaking about your retarded rants though. Case in point.
