[00:12] Delta: Well, I still don't believe something as complex as a Human just evolves either
[00:13] Spanky: were you born with everything you know now?
[00:13] Delta: No, but the only reason I can know what I know now is because of my ability to think and reason
[00:14] Delta: Which is a God given right
[00:14] Delta: That Animals don't have
[00:14] Spanky:
[00:14] Delta: And don't even start telling me an animals brain is comparable to a humans
[00:15] Spanky: you learned. knowledge is growing every day and we feed off of that collective pool. many animals are social, just like we are. we've learned and shared over many years. i'm sure you can agree with that?
[00:15] Spanky: at one time we thought flight was impossible yet now it takes place every day
[00:15] Spanky: you agree?
[00:16] Delta: that's not evolution, we always had the capability to understand it
[00:16] Spanky: do you agree?
[00:17] Delta: I do believe in microevolution
[00:17] Spanky: :-I
[00:17] Delta: which I think that falls under
[00:18] Spanky: im gonna do something else
[00:18] Delta: Humans haven't change, their knowledge has expanded yes, but lets delete everything and start over
[00:18] Delta: wouldn't we take the same amount of time to figure it out again?
[00:19] Spanky: yea
[00:19] Delta: it's like working your way up, it takes time
[00:19] Spanky: ok
[00:19] Delta: it's complex
[00:20] Delta: I wish I was more knowledgeable in this area
[00:22] Spanky: there's a species of bird that has a unique mating call which it learns from it's parents. some people took eggs of the bird and hatched them away from the parents. the young didnt know the mating call and when females were brought in, they tried to impress but couldnt, a unusually small percent succeeded. those that did succeed they left with the parents and over the period of 4 or 5 generations the birds mating call (keep in mind they've been in captivity separated from the natural birds) was the same as that of the natural birds. if that's not evoloution... i dont know what is
[00:22] Spanky: thats the same with us really
[00:23] Spanky: knowledge is shared and passed along and in species of ANIMALS that do that, evolution happens faster
[00:23] Spanky: languages have improved, knowledge has improved, skills have improved
[00:24] Spanky: is it hard to say that our bodies improve along with our minds? to become capable of what we want/need to do?
[00:24] Spanky: we look the same as our parents, thats not proof that evolution is non-existant
[00:24] Spanky: if you want to be right, we really aren't animals
[00:25] Spanky: we have no need or drive to evolove when we have everything we need
[00:25] Spanky: there's nothing to improve
[00:26] Delta: yeah, but this isn't evolution in the sense that are physical appearance is changing
[00:26] Delta: Are minds may have always had this capability
[00:26] Spanky: it might be
[00:26] Spanky: our bodies might be changing, who knows
[00:26] Delta: I still have 10 fingers and taos
[00:26] Spanky: how large was the average heart 1000 years ago compared to today?
[00:26] Spanky: what about lung capacity
[00:27] Spanky: we dont know because we couldnt measure
[00:27] Spanky: we dont know how much we've changed, that's not proof that we havent
[00:27] Spanky: even then, 1000 years isnt that long of a time
[00:27] Spanky: i'm sure we're plenty different from adam and eve
[00:27] Delta: are bodies can adapt, that doesn't mean it's evolution
[00:28] Spanky: lol
[00:28] Spanky: that IS evolution
[00:29] Spanky: Adaptation is the evolutionary process whereby an organism becomes better able to live in its habitat or habitats
[00:29] Delta: I wish I knew the difference between micro-evolution and this
[00:29] Delta: Ok, why would an animal need a brain like ours?
[00:29] Delta: if they can make it as is
[00:30] Spanky: exactly, why would it?
[00:30] Delta: right
[00:30] Spanky: i dont get your point
[00:30] Delta: so why do we have one?
[00:30] Spanky: lol sneaky
[00:30] Spanky: why do snakes lay eggs
[00:30] Spanky: i dont know
[00:30] Delta: yeah
[00:30] Spanky: cuz they do
[00:30] Delta: exactly
[00:31] Delta: we are things the way they are?
[00:31] Delta: Random chance
[00:31] Delta: that's the best we can do
[00:31] Spanky: it's not random
[00:31] Delta: that's what evolution is
[00:31] Spanky: it's thousands of years of improvements
[00:31] Spanky: evolution isn't random
[00:32] Delta: I don't get how any of this makes sense
[00:35] Delta:: Why are we the only things on earth that the brain capacity to even talk about this?
[00:35] Delta:: That makes no sense from an evolutionary point of view
