Mechanical enhancement aren't evolution. We're talking about biological evolution.

Bio/DNA engineering?

I think human beings are evolving day by day... 2000 years before human is weak.. but now human can live more than 100 yrs old... also because of food, health, technology that prolong human life span.. but then again... the evolution aren't visible... we are living comfortably the way we are now.. unless you tell me earth has no more oxygen and human began to extinct.. maybe in a way our body will evolve to adapt to this.. who knows our evolved lungs can process CO2 instead of O2

tl;dr

Religion kills science

The theory of human shares the same ancestor as ape could be true as there are some facts but not 100% truth. (darwin theory)

The idea of Adam & Hawa were the first man created by gods has no fact but we cannot say it is 100% untrue.

So let's just have an open mind and discuss properly. keep this thread clean of war ok.

Anyway, religion shouldnt really be here.... coz religion kills science... this is a science lab and ppl discussing here most likely have more logical & rational sense than unproven theories.

judging from the replies here, i think evolution should be taught in schools to clear misconceptions and baseless accusations against the evolutionary theory.

but then again, it would meet so much resistance from certain parties that would make its implementation near impossible. and here they're still haggling over the use of english in science and maths.

is the theory of evolution being taught in any form in our schools or universities at present? during my time, it was hardly mentioned except when learning about classification of organisms during pre-u. 

do you think evolution should be incorporated into our syllabus? Please give your thoughts in a civil manner. Thank you

don't think so lah... u have said it in ur first few sentence... it's impossible esp with facts that opposes the belief of <insert religion here>

Anyway i dont remember much learning evolution from school... Since young My dad bought encyclopedia and MS encarta... I spent almost 7-8 hours on it everyday after back from primary school then secondary school .. but getting lesser coz of computer games.. So to the parents out there, get some extra-reading materials for kid.. no nit rely on current study syllabus... all for exam purposes saja..

I think everybody should be given the opportunity to discuss their ideas or beliefs as long as they also discuss the authenticity of the text that they are referring to. Isn't this the nature of science? It should involve any idea or discussion, including religion. However, since a great deal of criticism of the theory of evolution comes from religions, I suggest that the discussion be made at RWI instead of Science Lab.

hmm sorry but i have to disagree with your suggestion.(in my understanding u are saying this thread be moved to RWI, if its not wat u meant.. my apologies)

TS created this evolution thread is to talk about genetic changes of human or organism on earth which has nothing to do with religion. Religion can only be related to the early or beginning stage of evolution/creation of human (which is not a proven fact). The evolution we discuss is more on how genes and DNA evolve from generation to generation which has nothing to do with religion.. so this thread should stay wink.gif
