People Are Not Animals! (and evolution never happened)
We felt that this video would be a perfect example of how rejection of facts, logic and just plain common sense and
misunderstanding and most importantly blatant disregard for reality of
scientific facts vs. faith leads to endless ranting and outright
silliness. Let the
Evolution games begin!
Many Creationists and some non-Creationists
believe evolutionary theory says evolution is random: it is not. Natural
selection is not random. In this computer simulation
artificial selection is used as an analogy for natural selection.
Evolution of Spiders & Spider Webs
This video shows results from a research project
involving simulated Darwinian evolutions of virtual block creatures. A
population of several hundred creatures is created within a supercomputer,
and each creature is tested for their ability to perform a given task,
such the ability to swim in a simulated water environment. Those that are
most successful survive, and their virtual genes containing coded
instructions for their growth, are copied, combined, and mutated to make
offspring for a new population. The new creatures are again tested, and
some may be improvements on their parents. As this cycle of variation and
selection continues, creatures with more and more successful behaviors can
emerge.
The creatures shown are results from many independent simulations in which
they were selected for swimming, walking, jumping, following, and
competing for control of a green cube.
