The moth that was being discussed.

Oh, well no? That's not a mutation at all, that's the natural selection of already existing genetic information because it was advantageous.
-
That's still evolution.
-
No it's really not. The species is still the same. The animal is still the same. It's just got a different gene as the predominant one. If hitler had succeeded and we all had blonde hair and blue eyes, we would still be human
-
It is. That is by definition evolution. It'll take much longer for the animal species to physically change. Example, dinosaurs roamed the earth for 160 million years. We haven't even scratched that and we've only been actively studying evolution about 160 years. If we had seen evolution happen on an extreme level, then the current theory of evolution would be proven incorrect.
-
It's not by definition evolution. For evolution to take place you need a [i]gain of information[/i] and technically it must also be beneficial. However, it is generally accepted now that it can also be a loss of information that is beneficial. Here, there is no gain or loss of any description.
-
Tell me what you would consider a gain in information.

-
What do you mean "new" DNA. DNA is constantly being replicated in your body. Could you give an example?
-
Edited by My Name Is John: 5/6/2015 6:23:42 PMAh sorry, that new wasn't meant to be there
-
What would you consider an act of evolution? And you could you give an example?
