They certainly are!

It's pretty obvious (to me)that beings from Venus (Venucians?) sent their biochemical genetic makeup to earth before they underwent the catastrophic greenhouse effect that now and forever engulfs their planet. They probably had a civilization that had advanced to a similar stage as our own, with just as great apathy towards the Space Exploration budgets and just as much attention to their pop stars and idols.
When the greenhouse effects came to light, the governments of Venus gathered for ideas on how to prolong the life of their species. Perhaps by investing in Voyota hybrids, maybe by hosting a Venus Hour (an hour where all of venus would reduce their consumption of energy), or electing brand new ecologically minded leaders like Varack Ovama to rape and rob generations of children of education.
They then realized their mistake of failing the conquering of space. With one last hope, they send capsules all throughout the universe of their genetic and biochemical makeup. Some of it may have landed in Jupiter and frozen into oblivion, maybe into Mars where it died from heat, and then it landed in the oceans of Earth.
And from this capsule came bacteria that was able to at least survive, mutate, evolve. To Algae. To Fish, sword fish, to alligator, to sword man.
And so the sword man puts down his sword to pick up a telescope to view his galaxy and points it at that distance ball called Venus. All he sees is just a rubbish planet. No longer are the houses, buildings and once plentiful massive infrastructure- they have all burned to ash and look no different that the rock from which they rose. "ugly planet," he says, and moves onto the next planet, ignorant and oblivious to the close-mindedness of his imagination.

I love you. That was awesome.

Originally posted by Alex I think that evolution needs to be developed more (that play on words wasn't intentional) and I think it's rather silly to simply paint legitimate criticism with the creationist or "denier" brush. Evolution is a matter of science and should be treated as such. Lots of criticism and less blind acknowledgment like naturalists love to label people who don't share their opinions.

Evolution is constantly changing and being developed anyway, and legitimate criticism is welcomed...I'd be certain that evolution is scrutinised in the same way that other branches of science are, so I'm not sure what your point is.
The fact is, the vast majority of criticism thrown at evolution is from people who have a problem with it due to religious belief, and the vast majority of these folk don't have a clue what they are talking about.
No offense to saka, but his posts are typical of someone who doesn't understand evolution.

This could be an actual ******** response gonne horny

The criticisms of creationists have actually "evolved" over time from really pedestrian stuff like "Where are the transitional forms?!" and "Look, there are dinosaur tracks in Texas!" to "Okay, genetic changes within populations certainly occur, but the rate at which mutations actually add useful information to a genome is much too low to provide the basis for all the diversity of life we see, and the enzymatic pathways of today's lifeforms are too complicated to have evolved by what are essentially random changes over time."

I find it kind of interesting to deal with criticism of evolution if it's at least somewhat scientifically informed, which is more likely today than twenty or even ten years ago.

Oh yeah? Where are the transitional forms?

sempre contra a corrente do jogo

Everything contained in the Universe, including the Universe itself, is life. The birth and death of stars, planets, plants, animals, humans... shit man, that's life.

The God from the bible, is dead. He's not some omnipotent, omniscient bastard who is here to judge us. God is Life itself. God is the Universe, Supreme Consciousness. We are a part of God, that's what was meant in the bible. We are a part of life, and we've all been a part of it since the beginning. We all came from that same singularity, the same source. FACT.

God said, "Let there be light!"

The big bang happened.

The Universe has been in a constant state of Evolution, and it will continue to evolve within itself. Nothing static exists except our way of thinking.

Where we go from here is entirely up to us:
