11 Mysteries of Science, Illustrated

Really #11? Peppered moths? One of the most debunked icons of evolution?

And to answer the question, Based on the rate of climate changed you here on PopSci believe in, and the rate of evolution that's been observed (well actually I'm going to give the benifit of a doubt and say its above 0 which is what has so far been observed), NO evolution can't keep up with climate change.

@Bagpipes,

How can you just deny that change is a natural part of life and that evolution is just the word for that genetic change? It seems so obvious when you can look at a chihuahua and then a great dane knowing that they are two examples within the same species that vary so greatly. Oh, and if you want a good example of an animal that is nearly midway through the process of speciation, look no further thant he polar bear. The brown bear and polar bear are able to interbreed and produce viable offspring and they do, although on a somewhat irregular basis.

How can you really say that you believe in AGW and not evolution? That makes no sense whatsoever. So man can change the environment of the entire earth by burning oil and wood to produce the same exhaust gases that you and I breathe out and it causes global warming? It is a farce and you fell for it before accepting the reality that genetic change happens? Man are we as a species screwed if as many people are as blind as you.

There exists another great scientific mystery.
How could the small Auschwitz de-lousing rooms with a very limited volume capacity had been used to gas millions of Jews ? Why are those trying to find out how it was done being put in jail ?

There not being put in jail, mental institutions maybe but not jail. How about you go join the Iranian bastard that also denies the Holocaust? Eisenhower warned history of you morons in 1945 and you are proof of what he said. Take it to the streets, your ignorance is astounding

@SgtB
If you think dogs are evidence for evolution, you are deluding yourself. They are clear evidence for nothing, except maybe intelligent design. Why? reason 1. They are all descended from a few wild species, and MAN has spent 4000 years domesticating and inbreeding them. The reason a Dane and a Chihuahua can't be bred to look the same is a LOSS of genetic code, NOT a gain. Evolution requires a GAIN of massive amounts of PERFECT genetic code, otherwise an organism dies. Chihuahuas and Danes are in a state of De-evolution caused by interbreeding. Polar and brown bears are also not evidence, since there is no net change, and their code is already practically identical, except for the active size and pigmentation genes. I do not deny minor changes in genetic code, but as yet they have ALL resulted in a net LOSS of information after they changed. This means that if the organism was put back into its original environment from before the change it would DIE. The moths are a huge hoax, and the "scientist" who did the study admitted there was no observed change. He took two moths from completely different ares, killed them, glued them to trees stained by the pollution, and took a picture. Fraud not science. If a fraudulent study of moths is all evolution has to stand on these days, just GET RID OF IT!
Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind. Albert Einstein

*Yawn* - You do know religions have been a means to control peoples thoughts, emotions, morals, etc since they were first created, right?

Anyways, people tend to first deny evolution because of the massive time frame needed to comprehend that such changes have happened. The changes in total is what evolution describes. You see a small change now and don't understand it as evolution because you would not live so long (or care), what this small change would amount to in a species over your lifetime. Repeat the process and you have a person that only cares of the here and now, not how they came to be (self or other species) and cant see the big picture (evolution in progress) because of limited life time frames.

@seekx
Your comment only reveals your ignorance of the fossil record and DNA science.

I thought it was just common knowledge that the earth hums. Even Hummingbirds actually hum. There is a perfectly good and valid scientific reason for this phenomenon. They forgot the words!.
