The animation in the matrix is meant to simulate real life. But they got some variables wrong (the 'speed' of time being a big one), that's why it isn't very accurate. The point is, pie charts, or simulations of evolution just put a face on an idea. That doesn't make it more than an idea. Unless you have all the knowledge in the universe, you can't know if the simulation is completely accurate...unless you can test its predictions. Evolution is untestable by its nature.

Darwinian evolution has nothing to do with modern evolution! Who cares that darwin was wrong?




Tell that to Matt. I was just pointing out all the errors Darwin made. Matt takes this as a general insult to evolution itself, and refuses to admit what scientists have known for a long time (namely that Darwin got the details of evolution wrong).

edit:

Nice cartoon. Except the entire argument against creationism is a strawman. Number one, antibiotics resistance has nothing to do with evolution. It happens, yes, but we've found ancient bacteria that were resistant to penicillin years before the antibiotic was even invented. All the antibiotic did was kill off all the germs that weren't already resistant. That's not evolution, its simple natural selection (loss of genetic data). Furthermore, germs exchange plasmids with each other, and viruses can carry genetic snippets between populations. Both methods also provide resistance, but do nothing to explain where that data came from in the first place.

That cartoon, and evolution in general, is the epitome of ignorance. Thanks to evolutionists, you were taught what amounts to a lie about science, and the creationists are the ones who apparently know more about science in this case. Which theory is really stuck in the dark ages?

The cartoon was pretty funny though.
