The Theory of Evolution is a lie. We did not come from monkeys.

You have attacked me with 2 types of arguments: 1) Pseudoscience arguments 2) Religious views. ""ERVs" WOW what novel you wrote! and all for nothing. Of course we share the same genes with chimps, we both came from the same God! Same God, same genes!" Sorry, the same, God, Same genes argument fails miserably. God also created puffer fish, bacteria, dung beetles, salamanders..etc. Do we share all their retroviruses? Do we even come close to sharing as much DNA with them as we do with Chimpanzees? The answer to both questions is...NO. Interestingly enough puffer fish are the only creatures with no junk DNA. while over 97% of our DNA is junk. "Which is why every 1 to 1.5 years we have a leap second. The clocks are pushed forward 1 second." Umm...no. We know the Earth's rotation is slowing. But that is not the main reason why the extra "Leap Second" was added by our official time keepers this year. The reason for adding a leap second is that the planet does not rotate exactly once every 24 hours (86,400 seconds). The rotation actually takes 86,400.002 seconds so that each day this little difference builds up between the atomic clock and the earth's rotation. When the difference builds up enough (.9 seconds), the time keepers must add another second (leap second) to keep the stars location, relative to the planet's rotation, in exact sync with the super accurate atomic clocks. The reason for the leap second is to to keep the cumulative difference in UT1-UTC less than 0.9 seconds, So a leap second is inserted periodically in the atomic UTC time scale to decrease the difference between the two. "The earth's rotation is slowing down. Not a lot, but just about 1 second every year to 1.5 years." The Earth's rotation is slowing but at a much slower rate than 1 leap second every so many years. The length of time it takes the Earth, at the present time, to rotate once is 86,400.002 seconds compared to 86,400 seconds back in 1820. The rotation has slowed roughly only by 2 milliseconds since 1820. The rate of change of the earth's day is not 1 second every 1.5 years. It's more like 0.002 seconds every century. We use atomic clocks to measure time now, and to do this scientists needed to set these clocks to a standard time. The time chosen was 1900. However, the Earth's rotation is decelerating at a rate of about 0.002 seconds per day per century. It's been about a century since the atomic clocks' standard time, so the Earth is slowing relative to an atomic clock by about 0.002 seconds every day, or about 0.7 seconds every year. Note that THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE EARTH IS SLOWING IT'S ROTATION BY THAT AMMOUNT; it means that a clock set by the rotating Earth loses time at that rate relative to an atomic clock. We add leap seconds to our calendar to get the two clocks aligned. The leap second adjustment (which is approximately 0.6 seconds per year) should not be confused with the difference between the length of the mean solar day and the SI day. This confuses velocity with travelled distance (in time). The reason for leap seconds is not the difference but the sum of the difference between the SI day and the mean solar day (currently about 0.002 seconds), over a given period of time. The actual rotational period varies due to unpredictable factors such as the motion of mass within Earth and has to be observed rather than computed. For example, suppose an atomic clock is used to count seconds from the Unix epoch of 00:00:00 on January 1, 1970. UTC and mean solar time (UT1) were almost identical then. After Earth makes one full rotation with respect to the mean Sun, the counter will register 86400.002 seconds (once again, the precise value will vary). Based on the counter, and assuming that a day is 24ï¿½60ï¿½60=86400 seconds long, the date will be calculated as 00:00:00.002 January 2, 1970. After 500 rotations, it will be 00:00:00 May 16, 1971 in solar time (UT1), but the counter will register 43,200,001 atomic seconds. Since 86400 ï¿½ 500 is 43,200,000 seconds, the date will be calculated as 00:00:01 on May 16, 1971, as measured by atomic time. If a leap second had been added on December 31, 1970, then the date would be computed as 00:00:00 on May 16, 1971. The actual system involving leap seconds was set up to allow TAI and UT1 to have an offset of 0 seconds on January 1, 1958. Interestingly enough, The Civil Global Positioning System Service Interface Committee had a mailed vote go out on abolishing leap-seconds. Also, it should be noted that some creationist arguments (such as the one spiral posted in the comment section) fail to take into account how the ocean tides affect the earth's rotation. Tides affect the earth's rotation in two sharply contrasting ways. One way, caused by tidal friction, produces an extremely slow secular change in rotation. The other way, caused by the continual movements of the tides about the planet, produces very small but very rapid changes in rotation. These rapid changes occur at exactly the same periods as the tides themselves: half-daily, daily, etc "Also, the moon is getting farther and farther away from the earth. millions of years ago the moon would be so close to the earth that the tides would be so high every bit of life would be washed away" The mean rate of lunar recession calculated by lunar laser ranging is ~3.82 cm/yr. according to http://cdsads.u-strasbg.fr... Even if I give you a ridiculously liberal estimate of 5 inches per year, 1 million years ago, the moon would be 5000000 inches closer to earth. That's only 78.9 Miles. The moon is currently ~240,000 miles away! 78 miles is nothing. Big deal. If we go back a billion years the moon was 5 billion inches closer to earth or 78,914 miles closer to earth, for a total distance of 161,086 miles away from earth. And that's using a ridiculously liberal estimate in your favor. As for your religious views: "The Old testament, that you believe in teaches us that man made death. Evolution teaches that death made man. they are NOT compatible." If God made man knowing they would die, then isn't God responsible for death? "Bitz, just come out of the closet already, you don't believe in God. You're just a dumb athiest, just like all the others. What kind og God do you believe in anyway? the God of the apes?" While I admit that my "faith" may not be as strong as other religious people, that doesn't make me an atheist. I also fail to see what this has to do with the debate. What does atheism have to do with evolution? It's funny how creationists proclaim that God is all-powerful yet still say that he could have not created us via evolution. If God didn't create us through evolution, then considering all the extinct species, God's instantaneous creations would have about a >1% success rate. Much of Genesis should not be taken literally, for example, when Noah was gathering the animals the bible says how he took all the animals male and female, and it says, "each and his mate" But what about the Asexual animals? what about the creatures that were neither male nor female? Why should I take something that contradicts reality so literally? Your points have been refuted. Now, let's look at some more evidence for evolution. We know that our relative primates have 48 chromosomes 24 from mom and 24 from dad, so how did we end up with 46 (23 from mom and 23 form dad)? Could a chromosome have been lost? Nope. That would be fatal. The only possibility is that 2 of our chromosomes fused. And just like evolution predicted, Human chromosome #2 is the product of fusion. Bacteria, can evolve to eat nylon by a mutation which gains them an extra enzyme (this is off the top of my head correct me if I'm wrong) (I'm out of characters)
