: : Was this person seriously inquiring about "their" color?I find it truly amazing that there are people who actually believe that a "God" created the first two humans on earth, and that they were called "Adam and Eve" and that they went on to populate the earth single handedly. Isnt that as rediculous as believing in Santa Claus?:
: Yes, some people believe in ridiculous things. Believe it or not, there are some people who believe that a single cell evolved into life as we know it and that we are the descendant's of gorrilla's.
Actually, the standard evolutionary theory is that homo sapiens sapiens and gorilla gorilla share common ancestors; a perfectly reasonable belief given the similarity in DNA between the two species.
Now, a challenge for you, Shaun.
In 1960, 13% of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria were resistant to penicillin.
In 1988, 91% of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria were resistant to penicillin.
The generally-accepted reason is that natural selection occurred due to the constant exposure these bacteria had to the antibiotics used in the meat industry; only the naturally resistant mutations of the bacteria survived and bred, leading to strains of Staphylococcus aureus that were resistant to antibiotics like Penicillium.
How can you explain it, if you don't believe in natural selection, which is the fundamental mechanism of evolution?
Try to come up with a simple, accurate explanation of the mechanism.
