      i'd expect them to be tasty, but haven't tried em myself
      Land chelicerates with enough meat on them are quite good, much closer to their water cousins than to insects especially in texture.

      I don't have a very strong disgust response aside from shit and vomit, so insects are welcome on my plate as long as they're tasty. And honestly they aren't really, but chelicerates are. I've had tarantula tempura and it was on the same level as soft shell crab.

    DECADES of math, and yet no actual proof of macroaddition.
    "Mathematicians" have been adding together numbers for countless years, and yet not one single documented case of two sets of one billion items coming together and forming two billion things.
    Don't get me wrong, microaddition is definitely real, we can add ten apples to a basket of ten, and have a basket of twenty apples. This is clearly observable.
    However, to assume this thinking applies to much larger baskets containing a billion or more apples is simply fallacious.

    Alright then, see picrel. Webbed hands/feet on a human would be emergent, yes? If we bred those humans with webbed hands/feet only with others possessing the same trait, their offspring would be more likely to have webbed hands/feet would they not? Which would probably make them better at swimming.

    Once again, random mutations are a thing. If they weren't, then all animals today would be the same as all animals ever.
    Imagine you're rolling a million-sided die, or many dice, and a dozen or so of those faces are new traits. To land enough of those dice on the same faces (and enough times to match pairs or better) requires either a lot of dice and a very long time to roll them in, or impossible luck. What you're asking for is the latter.
    If that doesn't work for you, explain how previous species existed. Explain how or why the current animals that exist are the animals that currently exist. There are so, so many things that are not observable to us in our short lives or lab conditions, we often have to theorise probable causes based on the evidence we do have. I'd understand the rejection of this concept if there was an alternative that wasn't literally Deus Ex Machina.

    All of these mutations shown in modern people are disingenic and reduce the fitness of human beings. They are only allowed to exist because they are enabled by society at large. Almost all mutations are third nipple or down syndrome level, creating useless expenditures of that would get an individual killed

    >If that doesn't work for you, explain how previous species existed. Explain how or why the current animals that exist are the animals that currently exist.
    I don't have all of the answers, man. I'm just here to tell you that the theory you prescribe to doesn't make sense. I'm not trying to tell you how the world was created, but only that evolution makes no sense.

      >makes no logical sense
      Except it does make perfect sense, moron, through all the means described and demonstrated by myself and others here. If you're too thick to apply the things one can learn from a limited study to a wider concept then creative thinking, and probably learning in general, is just not for you.
      >All of these mutations shown in modern people are disingenic and reduce the fitness of human beings.
      This is how I know you're just not going to understand this, but I'm going to give it one more try. Some mutations have a negative effect, yes. Some are beneficial. The mutations don't OCCUR based on what's useful, they're random. However, in an environment where humans were reliant on swimming faster to survive, those webbed hands and feet would be advantageous and so the genes with those mutations would propagate slightly more effectively, even if the difference was minor. Thus would be trait become more prominent over time.
      I mean, for frick's sake, there are humans born with the mutation of tetrachromacy, which is literally a complexifying of the eye. In our case, there is no selective pressure for it (or practically anything else in humans for that matter), so it doesn't make much difference; but are you really incapable of imagining how this concept can be applied to your original problem of 'eyes cannot be a product of evolution'?
      >I don't have all of the answers, man.
      You don't have any answers, by your own admission. You're saying that evolution doesn't make sense, but in reality, you just lack the imagination to visualise the vast numerical quantities and timescales involved when calculating the improbable (but inevitable) results.

          Microevolution becomes macroevolution over time. It's really that simple. I've provided evidence, proof of it happening before our eyes, but you seem to be in a mindset where inference and hypothesis are both completely unfathomable, regardless of the amount of available supporting (and lack of opposing) evidence.
          >I don't get it, and I don't like it. Must be israelites.
          The israelites would absolutely love it if all white people were as incapable of observating empirical evidence as you. No one would ever think to call them out on the statistical anomalies surrounding them or their prolefeed narratives. I don't see how acceptance of the concept of evolution serves their agenda any more or less than belief in God/gods, except maybe that the latter will train people to be less observant and intuitive.

        an example in humans is sickle cell anemia. It's a trait that's overall not good, but also improves the body's response to malaria infection. malaria causes infected red blood cells to sickle in people with sickle cell anemia, which then causes the immune system to eliminate those infected cells, reducing the burden of the infection. Other things that cause hypoxia also cause the cell to sickle, which is bad, but in areas where malaria is more ubiquitous than health care it's less bad than not having sickle cell at all. So the sickle cell mutation has been selected for in Africa, and to this day people with African ancestry are much more likely to carry the genes that cause it.
        Because of a mutation and survival of the fittest, their environment selected for people with a congenital defect that helps protect them from a disease that still kills millions annually.

    No, you don't. The lack of transitional fossils was acknowledged by Darwin as one of the biggest holes in his theory. But, lo and behold, this gap has become more and more apparent as time goes on. No one can provide examples of half-formed eyes in the fossil record, only more "primitive" or different types of eyes. This is why modern israeli scientists have to provide bullshit like the "Hopeful Monster Theory" to make evolution make sense. Your argument is anchored to the idea that your theory is inherently true, when it isn't.

            You people cannot separate different body plans from the concept of "more" or "less evolved" features. You are slotting body planned specifically designed to function perfectly in their roles and assigning arbitrary values to them, as if a single light sensing cell is somehow worse that a complex eye across all species. Your argument is cyclical because you use the theory to prove the theory, instead of using observation and basic logic.

            To address the evolutionist point of slowly accumulating evolution, I would like you to provide ONE example of a newly evolved trait created in a lab setting. The pressures of natural selection have been demonstrated, using the concepts of Mendelian genetics to amplify and shift traits across populations, but speciation had never been demonstrated in a lab setting. You need real proof, and you don't have it.

              Your failure to understand the element of random mutations alongside natural (or unnatural) selection sickens me. Once again, I think you're not thinking in terms of the necessary timescales for a
              >newly evolved trait in a lab setting.
              Selective breeding helps speed things up in a sense, but it's only going to work so fast. What do you consider a trait? All members of a group of the species being albino? Dogs with a squamate-like posture?

                If you can't actually demonstrate evolution, how can it be proven? You are basically saying "Bro, it goes so slow you actually cannot observe it". That isn't an argument. Somehow, evolutionists are in a quantum state of believing that evolution is both "to slow to observe" and objectively provable.

                The argument of evolution being possible because of the sheer timescale it takes place on is a copout. Unless you can address the previous point, it doesn't make sense. If it still doesn't make sense to you we can move into a hypothetical

                The fact that we can selectively breed animals for certain traits should prove to you the basic concept that evolution would work. It's just that the emergent traits are picked based on successful survival and breeding over millennia rather than over a few generations' worth of human preference.
                Otherwise, suggest a more reasonable and likely explanation for the reasonably complete evolutionary paths we have for many extant animal types. One with more evidence than evolution based on selective pressures, that isn't just magic.

                We can't get from single cells to amphibious creature, etc. by selecting for existing traits. For that to happen, new, effective traits need to emerge, which has not been demonstrated in any observed setting. Selecting for traits in dogs and other domesticated animals is only amplifying the expression, not creating new traits which are necessary for macro-evolution.

                Once again, random mutations are a thing. If they weren't, then all animals today would be the same as all animals ever.
                Imagine you're rolling a million-sided die, or many dice, and a dozen or so of those faces are new traits. To land enough of those dice on the same faces (and enough times to match pairs or better) requires either a lot of dice and a very long time to roll them in, or impossible luck. What you're asking for is the latter.
                If that doesn't work for you, explain how previous species existed. Explain how or why the current animals that exist are the animals that currently exist. There are so, so many things that are not observable to us in our short lives or lab conditions, we often have to theorise probable causes based on the evidence we do have. I'd understand the rejection of this concept if there was an alternative that wasn't literally Deus Ex Machina.

                Alright then, see picrel. Webbed hands/feet on a human would be emergent, yes? If we bred those humans with webbed hands/feet only with others possessing the same trait, their offspring would be more likely to have webbed hands/feet would they not? Which would probably make them better at swimming.

                If you're also disregarding the fossil evidence of life becoming specialised and adapting, I assume you also have problems with plate tectonics and geology in general, given that many of these things cannot be recreated in lab conditions or in a feasible timescale?

                Fossil evidence shows increased diversification of species over time, sure, but it doesn't prove evolution. You are just assuming that evolution is true, and slotting data into that view. You haven't proved it.

              I'm referring to the humor developing in the closed chamber. A blister would've probably been a more accurate comparison, but my point was that skin (a layer of cells) being reactive (and potentially protecting itself), whether to photosensitivity or something else, should not be beyond the realms of imagination. That's the basis for the eye's beginnings.
              Not the most elegant comparison to make, but then again, arguing with morons does my fricking head in.

      Atheists and Godgays are both moronic. The idea of evolution / the universe spawning out of nowhere and the idea of a skydaddy engineering all of this from the very start are both extraordinary ideas that we won't ever be able to verify. It's useless to pick a side.
