carlos11 (2014-06-09 22:53:04)Alright, this is bothering me. Bear in mind that I do not agree with the fruit juice. What bothers me is that none of you understand what he's saying.
Evolution is real, there's proof. Nobody here is arguing against that. Selection is real, and is a key component of the theory of evolution. However, natural selection does not explain everything. There are things we do not understand to this day. There is no explanation as to how new genes are created. Don't say mutations, 'cause I know that's what you're thinking. Mutations make a variation in the genetic code which may or may not be beneficial. But they cannot account for, say, the appearance of limbs, or a brain in ancient organisms.
So, how did natural selection lead to cell differentiation, which allowed us to have brains? (major accomplishment, btw)
Now, I'm not saying there's a bearded guy in a cloud whom it took a while to get the hang of coding DNA for humans, but we've yet to find a logical explanation. This guy probably knows a lot more about biology than most of you, so don't try to prove him wrong with the way you think things work. I'm sure he's not pulling this out of his ass, he goes to a website for agnostics that he has bookmarked in his computer then C&P articles onto here.

I think you all have misunderstood, he isnt saying natural selection isnt real or all that. He is implying that the evolution is intentional, as in, the organism decides when to change, not nature.
He saying its not really evolution, but merely a change in form
