Now, he says that: "big blobs if dust and debris created everything, is also just as stupid and illogical. " which I disagree with, BUT this is not the subject of debate. If he would like, we can argue this another time. My opponent's entire first half is addressing the Big Bang theory, which is not the subject of debate. However, I will address his question about: "If the dust was just dust how did it make literally everything, plasma, gas, liquid, and solid. " Well, my opponent is, in essence, asking how everything (all of the complex chemical compounds) came to be from just dust. The process is actually quite simple, but very, very slow. My opponent may be aware of how stars obtain their energy, and this is the exact same process that creates the different elements. If he does not know, I will explain: 1. Dust and debris slowly coalesces into a large mass. As the mass grows larger, so does the gravity, attracting even more dust and debris. 2. Once an massive amount of dust has gathered, the pressure (especially near the center/core of the sphere) is enormous, which in turn creates heat energy. 3. The energy from pressure and heat makes the atoms "smash" together in a process known as nuclear fusion. 4. Once atoms smash together, their electrons, protons and neutrons become one, making a new element. For example, if two hydrogen atoms collide with this much force, then a new atom is created. A helium atom (because hydrogen has one proton, if two collide, there will be two protons which is a helium atom). 5. Now, there is a new element. This process then repeats, creating more and more elements. (The elements can then react with each other to form compounds) Hopefully this cleared some things up. Now, moving on to the subject at hand. "In order for macro-evolution or any evolution for that matter something must be making a biological decision" This is false. No conscience decision is made in order for an organism to evolve. The E. Coli bacteria I mentioned in Round 2 did not simply decide that they wanted to be heat resistant. Evolution occurs through natural selection, a process which I will describe below (simplified version): There are actually two possibilities. Possibility 1 1. There is a group of organisms. (Let's say bugs, gray bugs) 2. A mutation occurs. Several bugs (or even one) are born black. 3. The black bugs reproduce, making more black bug offspring. 4. The bugs live in the woods, and it is harder for predators to see the black bugs because they don't stick out as much. Because of this, the gray bugs are being eaten more than the black bugs. 5. The gray bugs are either completely eradicated or become a negligible part of the population. Black bugs survive better. 6. You now have a completely different population. This is a simplified example. Change in color isn't macro-evolution, this is just a simple scheme of things. (If my opponent would like, I could use a different, more drastic mutation to prove my point). Possibility 2 1. There is a group of organisms (same gray bug as before). 2. A mutation occurs and some of the bugs are born black. 3. The black bugs reproduce, making more black offspring. 4. There is a big storm, blowing sticks, leaves and, more importantly, bugs in all different directions. 5. The black bugs find themselves isolated from the gray bugs and so they only reproduce among themselves. 6. You now have another, completely different population. Same applies as above, if my opponent would like a more drastic example, please request so. "why are we not evolving at a faster rate than animals and much slower than micro-organisms? " One of the reasons we are not evolving (we are, just very slowly) is because of globalization and advances in medicine. Globalization mixes people of all different races and does not allow for Possibility 2 to occur. Advances in medicine save many more lives, meaning genetically "weak" people can still survive. They continue contributing to the gene pool, not allowing for the "stronger" genes to dominate, because of this, the weak genes are not being killed off and remain a part of our gene pool. We evolve much slower than micro-organisms because micro-organisms reproduce much, much faster than we do. This allows greater opportunity for a mutation to occur, and then one of the above possible processes may take place. I await my opponent's response.
