      and the reason why mutations occur in genes is precisely because genes aren't perfect. life isn't perfect. it is the constant adjusting and adaptation to the surrounding environment which is chaotic and constantly changing. that's why life and evolution have direct correlation with each other. saying life involves evolution is like saying water involves wetness. it's literally the thing that makes it what it is.

    Saw a video recently on domestic dog breeds that have been bred for special features so much that they're unrecognizable from their appearance 100 years ago, it's all negative and causing serious health issues. The poor dachshund can't even hop on on a 6 inch curb anymore and if the German shepherd's hind legs get any shorter they'll be dragging them when they run.

    This is a lovely video, Aron. It's also quite educational and I'm glad you posted it. My friend who is a hardcore Christian claims that "science is a deception, DNA cannot create itself." which I find absurd. He also comes up with anecdotes or uses hoaxes to try and "disprove" evolution. I know that no matter what evidence I give him, he'll just brush it off so I had given up on him a long time ago. I like him as a person and I can respect a person having a religion to follow, but he's denying reality and that's my pet peeve with him. I mean, anyone who denies reality like that, I have a pet peeve with.
    I should also mention that he also said "Not all science is a deception." but truth be told, some science isn't a "deception" in his eyes, as long as it doesn't go against the Bible.
    Anywho, I just wanted to get that out there. Again, thank you for this. You're a very intelligent man and I hope to see more scientific videos from you. I am passionate about science and it helps me understand the world a bit better each time.
