Questions for evolutionists

Which was the first reptile which changed from cold blooded to warm blooded?  How and why?

If we evolved from apes, why did we lose the fur?  The fur is a clear advantage to any species and not having any is a setback.

How did the first female animal feed her young if her papilliary glands hadn't evolved yet?  How would the offspring survive with no milk from it's mother?

How did the first ape reproduce if it's partner hadn't evolved yet.  They had to both exist at the same time and at the same place.  Same with the rest of the animals.

How did the first cell reproduce if it's dna strand hadn't been written yet since it came to be by chance.  There was nothing for RNA to transfer so you would have no cell duplication.

Why did plants evolve into so many species?  Survival-of-the-fittest doesn't apply to them since they've always been the food of animals and have continued to be so.  If anything, they should have evolved a resistance to being eaten not to become the favorite plate of so many herbivore predators.

What explains the beauty in nature?  You don't need beauty to survive.  For example, why are reef fish so colorful?  They don't camouflage into their surroundings they stick out from their surroundings making them a perfect target for a predator.  Yet the beauty of their community amazes us as spectators.  Why would they evolve the colors if it doesn't help them survive?

How did giraffes get their long necks?  One might say to reach the high plants but the first giraffe whose neck grew an inch longer still couldn't reach the plants high above so it would have died with no use for it's trait so it would not have been kept in it's genome.  Same with birds and their wings.  A wing would have started as a stub with no advantage to the species so that trait would not have been kept.

Why do we see in so many colors?  We don't need to.  Most animals see in just a few colors and survive just fine.  This color spektrum doesn't give us any advantage.

If every single creature evolved and is in constant state of evolution, then how come, from 3 million species alive today, we don't see thousands in the process of evolving?

In that same note, how come the fossil record doesn't back up evolution?  If all creatures evolved slowly, we would find millions of fossil records of creatures in an evolutionary state.  In fact, most findings should be of transition and not skeletal structures of complete creatures.

How does evolution explain the Cambrian Explosion?  That is, the period 580 million years ago where life sprang into existance suddenly and with no slow transition.  The fossil record does not back up evolution, the contrary.  It shows life coming into existance suddenly and not slowly through any type of progressive mutations.

If you seriously want answers to all these questions it would be better to post them one at a time.  Otherwise, read some science textbooks on the subject, along with Desmond Wilson's "The Naked Ape" for some of the answers.

I agree with profitbob that Desmond Morris' book , though a pretty old one, is still a wonderful reference book on the subject.  Thanks Bob, makes me want to dig out my ancient copy.  NJoy

NJoy, thanks for reminding me that the author was Desmond Morris, not Demond Wilson (the actor who played Lamont Sanford in Sanford and Son).  Wilson has also has written a couple of books, though definitely not about evolution or zoology.

Hi Bob, I remember seeing Desmond Morris on the Phil Donahue show discussing the book, which I had already read, and realizing just how little of the book was discussed on that hour long program.  I knew then that you couldn't depend on television to teach you anything.But, like a slave, I still watch the History channel. LOL...

NJoy, they say a picture is worth a thousand words, but if it's on television, it's almost worthless it seems.  I feel like I'm being teased when I watch documentaries, all come on and no substance.  I don't miss cable television at all, even with the loss of the history and science channels.

   In the early days of cable television there were several series of lectures by college professors about various topics that were aired.  Why they discontinued this practice is beyond me, unless sponsorship was too hard to find because no one wants to sell stuff to educated people.  When the history channel starting doing shows on UFOs and the science channel on bigfoot, I knew they had totally sold out to the lowest common denominator.

yes bob, absolutely.  every channel has had to throw in the occasional "scare tactic"   program and i hate it, but we do have a few pbs channels left who have the professor lecture format.  some are very interesting, some not so much.  books are still the best way to learn, but they take so much time!  (whine whine)  NJoy

Thanks on the reference to the book. It is possible that Desmond Morris touches on why an ape might have shed it's hair to become bare but it does not provide any hard proof nor does it answer the rest of the questions. The reason I post these questions is so that people can think.  I wish people would sit down and actually think, reason on their own.  For example, the case of the first cell..

For a cell to maintain itself alive 2000 proteins are necessary.  The probability of 2000 proteins coming into existance by chance in the same place is 1 in 10 to the power of 40,000.  That's a 1 with 40,000 zeros after.  Did you know that this number is much greater then all the atoms which exist in the entire universe??  Think about that for a second folks.  Ponder that.

That's the first cell coming to be by chance.  A statistic impossibility.  But let's say it occured.  The miracle of all miracles but I'll give it to you.  Even if it had, there was no DNA strand in the nucleous of this cell.  Why?  Because it came to be by chance.  DNA is a blue print of the cell, programming of a cell.  You might get a protein by chance but you wouldn't also get a blueprint and manual of that same protein in the process.  That's like throwing a bunch of electrical components in the air and getting a tv.  You might get the tv but you will never get the tv and the electrical schmatics of that tv in a nice little stack.

Now here's the catch.  With no written blueprint of the components of the cell which is what DNA is, it is impossible for this cell to duplicate.  There is nothing for RNA to transfer.  This is biology 101.  Result?  The first cell would have died and there went evolution since the cell never copied itself.

Think about the above.  Put your bias aside and think about it like a logical person.  If you wish, look up the processes involved in cell duplication so you can see for yourselvs.  Please folks, think.  Even if chance were to give you the the cell it will NOT give you the programming schematics of the cell as well but without these, the cell can not duplicate.

There are hundreds of examples like this folks.  Please sit down and actually think and question what they are trying to feed us.  We are intelligent creatures, question, research, explore for yourself.  Don't believe main stream.

I can understand that it is hard to pick up a book but there are videos of these books avaliable now.  For example, The Priviledged Planet is now on video.  Another good one is Unlocking the Mystery of Life.  Google them.

Here is something I have read on why we may have lost hair over time..

 


Why did man lose his hair and tail?
Note that hair and tails ARE still present. The selection process is a statistical phenomena.
There is a theory that sometime within Man's evolutionary past he had an aquatic phase. This is upheld by:

  • The layer of fat beneath the skin is more characteristic of marine mammals.
  • The pattern described by the hair remaining on the body describes fairly closely what would be a flow pattern. Also, the pattern of denser hair (top of head, chin, pubic region) matches the marine growth areas
  • Humans have a diving reflex like that of the semi-aquatic mammals that live in cold climates. When the face hits cold water, the entire metabolism slows and the interior distribution of the blood flows. This has been observed in numerous near-drownings in cold water (it doesn't seem to cut in on warm water).

Thus, we have the same amount of hair (almost) as any other marine mammal. And for the exact same reasons. We just didn't have a long enough marine phase for further adaptations (lose arms & legs).

 

Interesting reading in this link.
