Actual debate: “There can’t be a common ancestor for everything as we’ve seen no fossils of say an ape-fish, or Dino-cat. Infact, how come you think that life could ever organize itself together based on random chance alone?

@@luigimrlgaming9484 I think there is something we haven't discovered that produces life It's the best idea we have We know life needs water It needs heat And it needs carbon But there may be chemicals that came from the asteroids that struck earth that we haven't yet discovered Something that starts the process of life I think an undiscovered chemical mixture Is FAR more likely than a magical being spawning in everything Which we still have no evidence for
@@luigimrlgaming9484 Except abiogenesis and evolution are not the same thing. While both are scientific theories with very extensive evidence they are not the same theory. They are related but most definitely not the same thing. Disproving abiogenesis would not disprove evolution. Further more it’s not pure random chance it’s random chance with a variable outcome that allows or doesn’t allow reproduction. Let’s go outside of biology and training artificial intelligence. We have produce a ton of variations with slight random variations set a way to measure success and use the most successful as the base for further changes. It’s entirely random changes but the effect of those changes are constrained by whether they help reach the goal. In such a way we simulate evolution in a much simpler way for much simpler goals and we can see random changes whose results are constrained by physical reality increasing the probability of certain outcomes being beneficial and allowing reproduction. Also entropy is indeed always increasing… in a closed system. Kinda an import qualifier because as you may realize the earth is not a closed system.

I have actually had this very same conversation with one of my friends who doesn't believe in evolution and farnsworth's frustration with Dr banjo is pretty much the frustration I have with my friend on the same thing cuz he just will not listen to reason.
The one thing I actually liked about this episode was that it does bring into focus the idea that reason cant exist without some level of Faith, and even when Farnsworth sets out to prove evolution on a highly sped up timeline it was still put into motion by a higher power (himself) It was a nice way to take shots at the dogma of both sides (although clearly focusing more on the ridiculousness of creationists)
Arguing with a religious person about evolution, you can give them as much evidence as possible but despite how much you have they'll just move the goalpost
Actually two problems with this. The professor doesn’t have to find a “missing link” between man and ape. Man IS an ape. Homo sapiens belong to the family Hominidae which are the great apes. Second. Darwinius Masillae is far before the emergence of apes. In fact Darwinius Masillae is actually a shrew like animals about the size of a rat. If the professor has gone that far then he’s fat passed ape and man. Also there’s lots of debate about Darwinius Masillae since it’s only known by one complete fossil but it is an extremely early mammal fossil so it could be an early ancestor.
Unfortunately not how it works see we have never seen anything that suggests macro evolution we have however seen micro evolution which does not prove evolution also everything has a cause so in order for something to exist there must be a cause so the question is what was the uncaused cause and I personally think it was God
@@ghostridare logic is based on observations of the things in the universe The kalam cosmological arguments first premise is only sound because we observe that things in the universe which begin to exist have causes However trying to take a logical principle that we can only prove applies to things in the universe then applying it to the universe itself commits the fallacy of composition We do not know that the universe began to exist and we do not know that causality applies beyond universe

The definition of moving the goal post. Sometimes its not about, but the discourse its about biases, feelings and pretending you care about the discourse.
Science only explained what is observable and how things work in the universe while the Bible explained the caused and origin. I ALSO don't see why people think a "theory" means it's factual when the definition of a theory implies speculation - a presumption, a hunch, a guess, an opinion.

Can we have context, because it sounds like you wanted to bash their faith instead of having a reasonable conversation. School does a lot when it comes to preparing us for how to make an argument, I know it helped me a lot (sadly it's lost on a lot of people) and that's because there is one part no one is really taught it's called reading the room. The goal of an argument is more than being right it's about winning people over. Most do it in ways that make us dumber but there can be times where people that are right are understanding and reasonable. Of course I have a political mindset when saying this.
The funny thing is, they prove evolution with just the first few links to humans. The argument is that humans evolved from apes, that humans didn't evolve. In the context of the show.

Just to clarify. Darwinius is a primitive, lemur-like primate from Eocene Messel Pits. It's a distant ancestor of modern primates, so it can't be a missing link between apes and humans.
You mean Chimps not monkeys They are apes Those guys are our closest living relative because we share a common ancestor We split and one branch evolved into Chimps and one into Homo sapiens
If American came from Britain then why do we still have British people? Once you're old enough to answer that then you'll have the answer to your question, kiddo
And then the Professor finds that final missing link... only for the ape to win his argument anyway. (I forget how or why, though.) Then that leads to the famous meme of his saying "I don't want to live on this planet anymore."
Evolution is a like a jigsaw puzzle of a blue whale. Sure there's 2 pieces missing in its blowhole and one of the 8 for it eye is gone, but any honest person knows what the fuck theyre looking at here 😂
@@ghostridare Sure, one good example is the extra chromosome monkeys have. Since we share a common ancestor, scientists hypothesized there was a fusion of two of said chromosome leading to our modern amount. So, they looked, and found evidence of fusion due to the abundance of telomeres (essentially junk DNA found on the end of chromosomes to prevent damage during imperfect division) in the middle of one of our chromosomes. That was the fusion we predicted based on the other puzzle pieces we had

Every living thing uses a common code of DNA for its construction, so animals are bound to have similar parts at some point as there’s only a few different kinds of body structures they’ll have. There’s literally no hard evidence to say that said species are related, they’re merely similar, and there’s no easy way to tell where it came from.
@@luigimrlgaming9484that's incorrect
Distinct genetic markers are only passed down to descendants
DNA tests work because a child either is or isn't in possession of these distinct genetic markers
These markers are not similar, they are the same. We have verified this is the case with countless humans and countless animals
That's why DNA tests are undeniable evidence in court
Absolutely all known lifeforms share 360 distinct genetic markers, proving we descended from a single lifeform
Creationist vs biologist debate in a nutshell.
Actual debate: “There can’t be a common ancestor for everything as we’ve seen no fossils of say an ape-fish, or Dino-cat. Infact, how come you think that life could ever organize itself together based on random chance alone? Entropy never produces anything but disorder, so how can it produce an organism with order and function? Are you sure you’re even barking up the right tree or are you just following the evidence down a false line of logic?
@@luigimrlgaming9484 I think there is something we haven't discovered that produces life
It's the best idea we have
We know life needs water
It needs heat
And it needs carbon
But there may be chemicals that came from the asteroids that struck earth that we haven't yet discovered
Something that starts the process of life
I think an undiscovered chemical mixture
Is FAR more likely than a magical being spawning in everything
Which we still have no evidence for

Except abiogenesis and evolution are not the same thing. While both are scientific theories with very extensive evidence they are not the same theory. They are related but most definitely not the same thing. Disproving abiogenesis would not disprove evolution.
Further more it’s not pure random chance it’s random chance with a variable outcome that allows or doesn’t allow reproduction.
Let’s go outside of biology and training artificial intelligence. We have produce a ton of variations with slight random variations set a way to measure success and use the most successful as the base for further changes.
It’s entirely random changes but the effect of those changes are constrained by whether they help reach the goal. In such a way we simulate evolution in a much simpler way for much simpler goals and we can see random changes whose results are constrained by physical reality increasing the probability of certain outcomes being beneficial and allowing reproduction.
Also entropy is indeed always increasing… in a closed system. Kinda an import qualifier because as you may realize the earth is not a closed system.
Missing links will always exist unless you somehow piece your entire family tree with no missing relatives the entire way back to where you want to be
That isn’t necessarily true I think most people just want to see a half monkey half human and unfortunately we don’t have that
There's probably a bunch we are missing
Fossils are rare so we are likely missing countless links
Though we do have enough to get a fairly solid timelime

@@petergieg4560 Tbf the spelling for some are pretty nasty.
The one thing I actually liked about this episode was that it does bring into focus the idea that reason cant exist without some level of Faith, and even when Farnsworth sets out to prove evolution on a highly sped up timeline it was still put into motion by a higher power (himself)
It was a nice way to take shots at the dogma of both sides (although clearly focusing more on the ridiculousness of creationists)
Arguing with a religious person about evolution, you can give them as much evidence as possible but despite how much you have they'll just move the goalpost
Quit arguing then it's annoying.
Well i would stop arguing if a person could actually give me a reason for that
Actually two problems with this. The professor doesn’t have to find a “missing link” between man and ape. Man IS an ape. Homo sapiens belong to the family Hominidae which are the great apes.
Second. Darwinius Masillae is far before the emergence of apes. In fact Darwinius Masillae is actually a shrew like animals about the size of a rat. If the professor has gone that far then he’s fat passed ape and man.
Also there’s lots of debate about Darwinius Masillae since it’s only known by one complete fossil but it is an extremely early mammal fossil so it could be an early ancestor.
I want to say this doesn’t live rent free in my head, but it unfortunately does.
The actual progression to where we are today is actually a bit more complicated and isn’t a strict progression from one to the next
Unfortunately not how it works see we have never seen anything that suggests macro evolution we have however seen micro evolution which does not prove evolution also everything has a cause so in order for something to exist there must be a cause so the question is what was the uncaused cause and I personally think it was God
@@ghostridare logic is based on observations of the things in the universe
The kalam cosmological arguments first premise is only sound because we observe that things in the universe which begin to exist have causes
However trying to take a logical principle that we can only prove applies to things in the universe then applying it to the universe itself commits the fallacy of composition
We do not know that the universe began to exist and we do not know that causality applies beyond universe
@@ghostridare micro evolutions build up after time. That is a macro evolution. When lots of small changes build up, you'll notice big changes from the New thing to the 20 generations outdated thing.

Monkey Alucard has a point there🗿

Ho ho I’ve got you now I love that for some reason
The definition of moving the goal post. Sometimes its not about, but the discourse its about biases, feelings and pretending you care about the discourse.
This is genuinely all religious peoples argument. “Science can’t explain everything so I’ll believe a religion that can’t explain anything!”
Bible actually at least gives a start of this all, science Don't
Science only explained what is observable and how things work in the universe while the Bible explained the caused and origin.
I ALSO don't see why people think a "theory" means it's factual when the definition of a theory implies speculation - a presumption, a hunch, a guess, an opinion.
@@omni-galachu9684Lmao, "theory" in science has an entirely different definition than the regular word. Theory of gravity? Germ theory? Even the Earth going around the sun (heliocentric theory) was a theory, and guess who didnt like that theory back in the day? Lol.

My answer is that "we didn't came from apes we just have similar ancestor and we evolve differently so there's no 'missing lin'""
Can we have context, because it sounds like you wanted to bash their faith instead of having a reasonable conversation.
School does a lot when it comes to preparing us for how to make an argument, I know it helped me a lot (sadly it's lost on a lot of people) and that's because there is one part no one is really taught it's called reading the room.
The goal of an argument is more than being right it's about winning people over. Most do it in ways that make us dumber but there can be times where people that are right are understanding and reasonable.
Of course I have a political mindset when saying this.
That episode was good ngl.

I’m more surprised the professor didn’t say “We haven’t found the missing link between the two because there is no missing link, THEY ARE THE LINK”
The funny thing is, they prove evolution with just the first few links to humans. The argument is that humans evolved from apes, that humans didn't evolve. In the context of the show.

Average creationist argument
Just to clarify. Darwinius is a primitive, lemur-like primate from Eocene Messel Pits. It's a distant ancestor of modern primates, so it can't be a missing link between apes and humans.
Then why do we still have monkeys? 😅
Only a portion of a larger population evolved into the next species
You mean Chimps not monkeys
They are apes
Those guys are our closest living relative because we share a common ancestor
We split and one branch evolved into Chimps and one into Homo sapiens
If American came from Britain then why do we still have British people?
Once you're old enough to answer that then you'll have the answer to your question, kiddo
If dogs come from wolfs why we still have wolfs?.... bc not all the individuals from a specie change at unison
Does your parents die when you are born??
Just press it again to find it
Hehe... Erectus
And then the Professor finds that final missing link... only for the ape to win his argument anyway. (I forget how or why, though.) Then that leads to the famous meme of his saying "I don't want to live on this planet anymore."
Evolution is a like a jigsaw puzzle of a blue whale. Sure there's 2 pieces missing in its blowhole and one of the 8 for it eye is gone, but any honest person knows what the fuck theyre looking at here 😂

@@thunderspark1536 mind naming a few?
@@ghostridare Sure, one good example is the extra chromosome monkeys have. Since we share a common ancestor, scientists hypothesized there was a fusion of two of said chromosome leading to our modern amount.
So, they looked, and found evidence of fusion due to the abundance of telomeres (essentially junk DNA found on the end of chromosomes to prevent damage during imperfect division) in the middle of one of our chromosomes.
That was the fusion we predicted based on the other puzzle pieces we had
