Quote by: loser I'm sure that I don't understand the TOE in all of its nuances so perhaps someone can answer this question for me.

LOL..yeah, you are right you don't understand ToE one bit.

Quote by: loser Evolution? I am a scientist and I can absolutely state with the utmost confidence that the theory of evolution has utterly failed.

It's my (mis?)understanding that evolution is triggered as a survival of the fittest phenomenon; that adaptations which give a species a clear advantage (a better chance of survival) are the ones that are passed on.

Mendel genetics would help you realize this.

I was thinking about just how much of an advantage it is to have thick fur.

Arm chair thinking...

My dog is able to withstand cold outside that would kill me. Some arctic animals swim in frigid arctic waters that will kill us in seconds. How much better it would be for humans to have such fur in order to live in the many hostile and extreme conditions.

Humans did not evolve in the cold though. Don't you know that?

Did we evolve away from having body fur so that we would have to kill animals and then make coats from their fur in order to survive in these conditions?

Ok first thing is first.

Humans did not decide on which way to evolve. The fur gene over millions of years simply became obsolete. Genes are not controlled by the brain. They are controlled by quantum physics and reproduction.

That really doesn't make much sense to me. If we had more hair in the past, why did we lose it?

Genetics is a rather complicated topic. You think humans controll the way genes get past on from person to person through their minds. I don't know if its possible to communicate this information with you without you obtaining a basic education in biology first

For aesthetic purposes?

For biological purposes

Why couldn't we just evolve body fur with zippers for easy removal?

Because zippers are a human invention that have nothing to do with genes let alone biology. Didn't you know that?

Or, like other animals, the ability to molt or shed?

Again, do you know what you are talking about?

It's hard to accept evolution when so much of it goes against reason.

Thats the problem, you don't have reason to begin with. You think zippers can evolve on body fur and humans can control evolution with their own minds. You see, when you read about evolution and you have no understanding of it and compare it to your illogical questions, then yes it does contradict things in your mind.

Of course, there may be answers that I can't see that others can. Hence, the question.

Yep, and hence me telling you to go back and re-read the first chapter in your Biology book.

Questions are a very good tool to use when obtaining an education, but when the questions are in left field that have nothing to do with the subject, then there is no way of learning the content at hand...Sorry. Go back and re-read what you read and ask questions that have something to do with the subject.
