Swine Flu.....

[tylersangle88]

who cares what they do, its an air borne disease you cant get it from eating food.

LMAO that made me laugh!!!!!

what alot of people seem to forget is that in england more people die of regular flu than most of these epidemics!
The media just blows everything out of proportion nowadays! first we were all going to be wiped out by sars then nearly all of england by bird flu and now this one!! its crazy!

Also, if evolution is true then we did evolve from something completely different from us. After all, if everything had the same origin. But my main problem with evolution is that if we came from monkeys, shouldn't there be much more evidence then what's currently been found. I'm talking like 100,000s of fossils showing monkey/human hybrids, not 1 or 2 that "might" be the missing link but still haven't been found.

Lastly, I just haven't seen enough evidence for myself to believe that changes at the molecular level could alter a monkey into a human by natural selection. But that's me.

First off... humans didn't evolve from "monkeys". Humans and chimpanzees share a direct common ancestor. Second of all, humans and chimpanzees are almost the same as us. The difference between the human and the chimpanzee genome is about 1 or 2 percent if I remember correctly.

But regardless of the mis-information you have about evolution... why do question the idea of evolution on the basis that the current evidence which supports it is not enough then decide to believe that humans were created by God? I mean surely if you were going to be consistent at least you'd question the God idea in the exact same manner and would require evidence which unmistakably proves that this is the case in order to believe it.

As for your fossils comment. That deserves another facepalm. Humans evolved a long time ago. It's not like complete fossils from something that existed tens of thousands of years ago are easy to find.

Then what was the ancestor?

My questioning of evolution is because it seems so unlikely to me. I'm much more comfortable with creationism/intelligent design, also lets me sleep at night. I do also question whether or not human's were created by God and I do believe that there is evidence to support it. For instance, the flagellum. A molecular size motor that is more efficient than any man made order and just by looking at it, there has to be some level of design. This and that it has to be put together in the correct order or it doesn't work. I do question creationism in that the amount of time that it took or how to account for the light that comes from stars millions of light years away. I'm not 100% opposed to evolution and the ideas that it suggests but I do believe that God did create and that it didn't all just happen.

We should kill all the pigs in the world to stop the spread of the disease x]

I mean.. it did originate from swine after all...
right?


Right?

So because something is complicated... it means it has to be designed? That's terrible reasoning. You do know that millions of years of natural selection and evolution accounts for things being complicated right?

I can't remember the exact name of the ancestor of humans and chimpanzees. But it was of course a primate which now no longer exists.

Anyway... believe what ever you want... just wanted to remind you and all those other people out there that don't believe in evolution that the very science that you do not believe in is the very science that explains viruses like the swine flu and the medicine which is used to treat it.

this is getting a pretty heavy debate!! haha

nooooooooo you cant kill all the pigs,
but isnt swine flue, pigs, chickens and human flu mixed??
an honestly! does it really matter if we came from chimps or God!
No one will ever be certain until we die whether God does exists!
All i can say is that religion has caused hell of alot of trouble for something that is suppose to be pretty peaceful!

lol
well it's airborne now so it won't work
Killing them won't stop it from transferring person to person.

Plus we wouldn't have any pork to eat ever, and pork is nice.

HA!
PORK IS FOR DORKS! ^_^''

and bugger x]
nothing wrong w/ a genocide every now and again =3

even if it's for some ridiculous reason...
such as a pandemic being named after something and then tracing the etymology as the actual origin of the disease ^_^

Haha! I see your point, but I can't see this actually happening!
