The Human Body

[MiP2]

If we'd been designed, why would we have flaws? Diseases?

Over the course of recorded history, humans have STILL been observed to evolve. Examples include decreasing prevalence of wisdom teeth, increases in average height, longevity, etc. Humans are ever changing.

Acutally, the average height increase is due to food quality & amount increasing.
Recently people haven't got enough food to grow to their full height.

That's why there are so many diseases that kill us. So many failures in our DNA that cause so much trouble for a lot of people.
We even have parts in our body that are complete useless for today's life....because we are still evolving.

So yeh perfect. >_>

So, superdude, what you are trying to say is that when we are finished "evolving" we will be some type of superhuman? Immune to all disease? I think not...because then the only chance of death is in the event of an accident, and if the only deaths are from accidents this planet will be crushed by people within a year or two.
I think the complexity of the human body's build points to intelligent design. The chance that this complex gathering of organs and veins, skin and bones could just randomly come together is extremely low. Go look it up for yourself.

There was nothing random about it. All life started out as simple microorganisms, and through natural selection, we gradually became more and more complex. That is my belief, at least. If you read more about evolution, it does make sense. Again, not saying it's right but it's also not a rediculous theory.

1. I never said that
2. We never finish evolving. Because everything around us keeps changing with us. Climate, viruses keep evolving (Mutating), etc,etc. Our body tries to keep up with this...
3. We didn't become a human in just a week. We evolved from nothing to what we are now. We are still evolving as you can see, like i said before....we still have body parts that are useless but were useful back then.
But close minded people like you will never understand/accept this.

so how long are you saying it took?

 

[mahtale]

so how long are you saying it took?

4.5 billion years ago, the Earth was created. 3.8 billion years ago, life started with prokaryotes. So about 3.8 billion years if you discount the time it took for the conditions for life to exist.

And if he meant how long it took to evolve from monkeys to humans, it took approx. 6.500.000 years. ( 6.5 million ).

Did they teach you this rubbish at school or something? The human body came to be in the exact same way as a bacterium or a tomato plant; through gradual change over hundreds of millions of years.

Nobody is suggesting that any living organism was randomly assembled.

Organisms never finish evolving. You should go and look it up for yourself because you clearly have absolutely no idea how evolution works, or what it is for that matter. Your comment about "gathering organs and veins" shows that your understanding of biology is absurd to the highest degree.

Humans did NOT evolve from monkeys. We do, however share a common ancestor with the other currently existing primates.

Despite the fact that I've seen some completely dreadful explanations of natural selection from my teachers, his level of misinformation suggests that it came from a church, or other similar institute who has an interest in lying about how these sort of things work.

Maybe, but you'd think if he got it from church he'd be claiming his particular god did it rather than an ambiguous designer.

Ah, my bad Humans diverged from apes around 6.5 millions years ago to their own "specie".

Again, my bad.

 

[Gfxguy]

If that someone or something did design our bodies, why couldn't they make our bodies immune to a lot of things such as diseases, sickness, weakness, pain, et cetera. It would be cool if there was no such things as toxins in our bodies, such as when we eat fast food as an example, it creates toxins, and the toxins create zits or pimples and many other nasty things.

If we were immune to everything we would only need to conquer then living for ever and once we did we would just keep multiplying eventually our earth would no be able to live a happy life

You know, it's not only diseases that kill us.
If we stay healthy, and live for like 100 years old, our heart will eventually give up.

THAT IS EVOLUTION

Are you an idiot? Your second sentence makes no fucking sense so I won't even include it in my quote. When a species changes as a whole in any general way, that is evolution. No exceptions. We all evolve.

Well, technically that is not evolution. It comes with evolution.

And yes, we all DO evolve. So what exactly is your problem with my opinions, if we share them?

Over 10 million children die each year. Pretty hardcore punishment to people that have done nothing wrong.
Why God makes ex. train accidents happen? Unlikely that theres only full-of-sin-people inside the train.

Either God is a sadist, or (s)he doesn't exist.
