Introduction to Evolution and Natural Selection 

same here ;)

+Akash Cherukuri I agree

Katy The Great ;)

Ditto

TheCosmoBros same

Studying for a Clep test to get into nursing school here . You guys want to open a clinic sometime?

kento2d9 I know right

wrong place...go see kaplan....

Religion is old-age stuff, it musn't be in under scientific videos.

Yes! I take mine in 2027 :) hope you’re doing great.

Is it My Ep Assignments?

I've already lost hope in my sanity so might as well 😅

😅😅😅😅

😂😂

Don’t worry, natural selection will deal with these kinds of people someday

Thank you for this

I believe that there is a creator God, and that our purpose is to serve Him. What is your belief, and how would explain evolution to someone that doesn't agree. Please no that I hold no judgement, and if you would like me to share my beliefs more I am willing. If not I understand. Please no hate. I'm just curious and trying to learn more about the world around us.

This video came out in 2009 but i totally agree. Best quote 😂💁🏽‍♀️

@Yashua Fradkin ikr 2020 went downhill fast

***** I've read the bible. Not a christian. Science and reality is wayyy better for me. Thanks tho

Mythology is not everybody's cup of tea !!!

TaelurAlexis - you show evidence of latter-day consequences of how evolution has enhanced the abilities of the human brain. Keep asking!

Bob D Thank you Bob:)

Okay, I'm a little late to the reply party but here we go. I love Khan Academy. I love science (my majors were both mathematics and environmental science). And I love God. My dad's an architect and my mom's a nurse and they both drilled hard studying in all subjects and knowing biblical truths so I never had this "issue". One of my biggest pet peeves is this weird American belief that concepts of science and religion (specifically Christianity as we are in America) are enemies of each other. They're not. There is a reason a lot of early scientists were Christians including Darwin and to this day many current scientists such as Francis Collins (Former Director of the National Human Genome Research Institute and author of the book "The Language of God") are still Christian. There was never a conflict between the two, only conflicts between different groups' dogma (between both scientists and theologians alike using theories to shoot facts instead of facts to shoot theories). In fact, the bible is persistent with telling people to seek knowledge (ex. Proverbs 18:15, one of my favorites says, "An intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge."). TL;DR Evolution does not conflict with God's existence. You can love both. Hardcore creationists and evolutionists twist facts to prove their points so please make sure you study hard in both your scientific and biblical research (historical documents backs up Jesus' existence) so you can know the truth for yourself and not base it off of the weird beliefs people spew from their mouths.

ask your professor THATS WHAT THEY ARE THERE FOR!

@William Pinero yes

@William Pinero yes

Hi im a new youtuber Please check my chanel i will share lots of intresting things With only clicking the sub button you can help me alot

Maleeha Aamir do you study in 11th class

a cold hard marxist "fact" lolz even your bishops& rabbis like dawkins use terms like intel design as dna is a language. your fossil frauds are like x-men concepts, except they don't spread it on million generations to hide from burden of proof.

It's a matter of faith and guidance through our savior.

Tony Soprano this is pure Bolognese, food for the week mind

Tony Soprano Actually it’s called a cold hard theory

I would be willing to give anybody a thousand dollars if they could find ONE COLD HARD FACT that supports the (fiction) story of evolution. None exists.

***** You then use the premise that evolution is a random prosess. I would look at it like this: Evolution only builds on what works, and then expands on that until something new and even more adaptive comes along. The probabilites you are describing are not independent, but every singel event that happens in the cell, is dependent of what happened before. Reducing the probabilities to a more humanly understood level. From probability mathematics, you have: p(A/A) = 1. (Probability of A occuring, given that A has occured) = 100% No matter how unlikely something is, even if A = 0,00000000000000000000001%. It will happen, given that A allready has happened. This is how evolution works too. My argument still stands, and you my friend don't know enough about evolution to claim things like that.

thats the deception! taking proven micro evolution and use that as a false proof for exxagerated macro evolution. they are 2 different things, its interior design vs expansion. DNA also shows that its a language. macro evolution is a marxist science.

+Hakon your "arguement" is baseless. colliding chemicals are hardly simple, but even natures of 2 are different as 1 needs mutations, most are cancerous. it doesn't change facts it speciation/macro, isn't a real seen science ever in multi cell organisms, but a guess work!

A lot of things seem to be random, including genetic mutations and variation. There are certain principles in quantum mechanics that seem to be inherently random, such as the wave function of a particle only giving you the probabilities of a particle's position and its speed.

I mean when you roll a dice its not exactly random if you look at it in the meta level but that is not how random is being used when talking about it.

How are you doing with that?

zanocco641 Here's why. Some people take their religion very serious. Seriously enough to actually read their Holy Doctrine and believe it happened way their circular reasoning Book of proof said it happened, not by evolution and natural selection over billion of years. This Christian God you follow must be a new God all together. Evolution completely destroys the Adam & Eve creation myth/assertion, which destroys the absurd "original sin" concept, thereby destroying the illogical & shockingly absurd "need" for God to impregnate a woman with himself in human form, so he could sacrifice himself to himself to act as a loophole for rules that he created in the first place that he could not circumvent. Only cognitive dissonance, not reading the bible, and/or recreating a new individualistic & highly subjective version of Christianity in one's own mind (like most Christian's nowadays do anyway) could ever make these two contradictory premises of Christianity and Evolution at all compatible. Telling yourself that God used evolution is a presupposed conclusion, which is a logical fallacy, but you have no way of linking evolution to "God did it" outside of your mind, or even that it even points to the existence of a God, or is even possible. Evolution shows how life can evolve without requiring any intelligence. It's just beyond the understanding of most human minds to grasp as well as uncomfortable harsh reality that's not very comforting to their psyche, unfortunately, because most people, especially in American have not been taught how to think critically for themselves, or simply allow their emotional preconceived, usually indoctrinated convictions to overwhelm their logic & critical thinking ability. Most are just indoctrinated slaves of their own minds simply due tot their inherited culture where most have not or simply do not exercise their critical thinking skills in this area at least simply because so badly they want to believe, because they want to believe.

FreeThinking Atheist the bible is filled with symbolism. Of course the Adam and Eve thing isnt accurate in any sense. All I care about in this world is just letting people do what they want to do unless they are threatening the lives of others because then said people need to be dealt with in some way. Arguments about religion are circular and only cause unnecessary conflict, Someone else can believe what they want, and if it differs from mine, So what? Believe what you want to believe is my point, and both theists and atheists just need to kinda stfu and quit complaining about others differing beliefs, at least on the internet on a fucking biology help video.

prove god, and I will entertain a god built world. Hey jesus man.....where the hell are you? no response, hardly an answer

+free in theory one could say evolution effected all except humans, but its wrong, macro evolution is just marxist science, its like the x-men but spread of million generations to avoid proving it and they mix it up with micro evolution in conversations just to deceive. macro evolution so far only takes place in single celled creatures.

How did you do

Raymond ... but scientists do not believe in evolution and the scientists worldwide are forming creation organizations to expose the atheistic professors who promote their fiction story of evolutionism

@@danminer5343 Sources?

@@chaosd5239 - you will not find this in evolutionary propaganda sources for obvious reasons. The most educated scientists know that there is nothing known about evolution thus there is nothing to believe except stories that do not show how evolution could be possible and there is no evidence for evolution. Evolutionism is nothing more than a failed attempt to explain away the reality of our Creator God who created us. You can show me that there is zero science supporting the story of evolution by your inability to find any evidence for evolution. I dare you to try.

@@danminer5343 yeah. I just asked for sources. And while I could make a decent sized list of evidences for evolution, I'm not gonna engage in an argument. I've learned that online arguments never go anywhere and are pointless.

@@chaosd5239 - You made a false statement. I have studied this issue for decades and have read many hundreds of books, journals and publications and challenged many evolutionists to present ONE HONEST SCIENTIFIC STATEMENT that would favor a belief in evolution. Fraud is not science. It is impossible for you to find any evidence for evolution since none exists. I would show the fraud in any you would present.

Tell them to stop praying to cows in India and watch Khan academy

What????

Oi!

hello, I have a question, is it possible, after watching only these lessons of the khan of the academy, to take sat. I am a foreigner so I ask

Daniel Lopes that’s an evolved ape my guy did you not see planet of the apes?

He fixed it on his next video lmao

Amen my brother

evolution is a unseen marxist science as a whole based on deceit. micro evolution is generally accepted, but the macro evolution x-men fantasy of speciation which evolutionists put over a million generations to avoid the burden of proof isn't.

lmao u did not

What anime is your profile pic from?

Thentacle hi

What anime is your profile pic from?

Evolution requires no belief.

Evolution is a belief in the facts supporting the theory. All of science is a belief system since science is not absolute. We are not omniscient, and science is constantly changing as our knowledge base expands. The difference is that science is a systematic approach and study. It is false to say that science contradicts religion and vice versa. No evidence has been given to support either side as proving the other false. Evolution for example, is not the proof that God does not exist (in fact, it heavily suggests the concept of God as it points that species branched out from a single source). That said, relgion is beyond our current means of study. For this reason, science is agnostic. To be atheist means to not be scientific, but to be religious as you have the belief in the denial of religion, without any unbiased factual evidence.

Sarcastic Nerd Evidence.

pimpekfun I think you can be a Christian and believe God crested people and animals but that natural selection with animals still happens. God created science you know?

Saad Rizvi where did he sad that?

SAT doesnt include science just Math and English

Beleive in? YOU CANNOT BELEIVE IN EVOLUTION. It's a scientific fact -not a belief stuff- and you MUST accept this --even you don't want to.

Memorizing does not provide you learning.

***** if you want to learn more about the big bang, then watch Lawrence Krauss: A Universe from Nothing. he explains why there is something rather than nothing and why nothing will give rise to something. Besides, earth biology only deals with life n earth, not big bang cosmology.

"Yet, you still can't find any evidence of a missing link" You're right, because there is no missing link. We have a pretty comprehensive fossil record showing progressive evolution from ape to man (and other species). It doesn't matter what religious retards believe, they have always been against genuine knowledge from the very start.

fossils are commonly frauds & guess works with millions of years of gaps, its like the x-men art concpet except the real world marxist evolutionists spread it over millions of generations to hide from the burden of proof!

false sects like shia are judeo made No, fossils are the physical representation of the mutations, and we can actually see where the species split off into two, as well as we can observe the gradual development of characteristics we see today. However, it isn’t the only evidence, not even close. We also look at the DNA of two species. The ONLY known mechanism for sharing DNA is through reproduction. There’s no other way for two species to share DNA, than through reproduction, which we can observe. You may say that, “god made it that way,” of which of course you have absolutely no evidence, and rather are just implementing the god of the gaps fallacy, which is worse in this case, because there IS an actual known mechanism. We have also observed speciation, where one species diverges into a difference specie. Creationists like to use the word “kind,” and yet they cannot even define what a kind is. They also love to distinguish between micro and macro evolution, and try to make them seem like different mechanisms, which is funny, because they haven’t done a shred of research to have come to such a conclusion justifiably. They are the SAME mechanism, in that the mutations are different. The only difference between the two is self explanatory; it is the time scale that they take place under, macro being large, and micro being small. Clearly you listen to Kent Hovind or some other religious dolt who has no idea what they’re talking about. Kent Hovind bought his pHD from a unaccredited institution, and held off from revealing where he taught for as long as he could, because he never taught in a single public school, rather only in church schools that he usually founded himself. He is a convicted fraud who doesn’t have a shred of expertise. Do not argue against evolution until you have the knowledge to do so. Every religious person I have ever met has been utterly ignorant to science as a whole, because they are willfully ignorant, and are taught to not trust anything anyone says other than the church, because they will see the idiocy of it all otherwise.

the Holy Book(BIBLE) is the Word of God. *God,the creater of our world.* so God's words are like commands for the world to follow. just think of it as a user Manuel given by the Maker of the product that comes with the product.. without the user manuel you will screw up....

It's not magic. It's faith, however, the bible can be very scientifically proven.

Digital Math Then why isn’t it proven?

Here's for one instance, a particularly small one, but i like to think about all the little things...Today's year is 2018, correct? But when did people start numbering years? It's when Jesus died on the cross and was resurrected, 2018 years ago he died. Julius ceaser (idk how exactly you spell his last name) died March 15, 44BC, even before Jesus, but how come no one ever doubts his existence?

A Person ... and all evolutionists believe that nothing created everything even though there is zero evidence for evolution, not even one shred of evidence, only a imaginary story that disagrees entirely with science, yet deluded fools still try to believe it. Evolutionists believe that magic created all complex organisms that could not live unless they were created already containing all required parts and systems so that they could live and reproduce.

@@danminer5343 What do you mean by "not even a shred of evidence"? There are multiple evidences of evolution in Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Archeology and other sciences such as Geology, while the only "evidence" of God is a 2700 years old book.

I'm from all in one easy peasy

No they don't go hand in hand. Christianity is fake, oh btw you realize that there are other religions in the world?

things in the bible and things science have proven at times directly conflict.

omg you're right.... it's almost like religion was created to explain things that we couldn't understand at all at the time... wow

+Katie Annabelle Cochran What angry atheists are you talking about?

Katie..... science is effort ostensibly trying to ''understand why people could possibly envision a voodoo version of creation''...namely some altruistic Hebrew patiently roaming the clouds who loves us but somehow creates misery via disease, discord, hate etc.

don leavell Boy, Biology is a required class for me to graduate. So therefore I am not in the wrong class. And even though I do not agree with evolution, that doesn't mean I cant learn about it.

Hannah Farley Girl: If you don't agree with evolution, then you're still in the wrong class in biology. Evolution is not a matter of "belief." There's more evidence for evolution than for gravity. You eat food that's been artificially selected, which we learned from "natural selection." Consider the fossil record. But while here, if you're a creationist, I invite you to take the Nobel Peace Prize today with your reproducible, demonstrable test results, which science is required to do. What's the hold-up? And science has wonderful predictive power because it works. Peace.

Just saying I would rather not take Biology. I hate that class. Science doesn't interest me all that much. But even though I do not enjoy it, I take the time to learn about evolution at times, it interests me to learn about what others believe to be true. I do want to point out that I don't hate anybody or dislike anybody for believing in evolution, it's just not something that I find to be true and I hope that one day, as a Christian, that others will find out the truth for themselves.

Hannah Farley It's very revealing that you think science is based on belief. Wrong. Science is only reproducible, demonstrable test results and it's always peer-reviewed. But have a nice trip. I don't hate anybody as well. That's a straw man argument. Test results, only. No belief involved. That's reserved for and required to be a religious person.

don leavell You say you don't find evolution to be true. That reveals that you are unaware of the tenets of evolution. It's a fact, dear. Sorry to be the one. But you guys can't prove any of your miracle claims and disregard that which can be proven. That's a state of mind devoid of critical thinking. You want it to be true. That's the fact you should realize. Peace.

Jason Smith How did your god come to be? Why is he a he? What is the evidence of such creature? If one thinks that god always was, then why is it unthinkable that an endless number of universes goes in and out of existence all the time like subatomic particles does. Saying that god exists is not a conclusion, it's lazy, it's saying "we don't know therefore we will never know", people has said that about all sort of things and has over and over again been proven wrong as science proceeds. Why can't we just say the scientifically honest thing "I don't know yet, let's find out"

yoooo did you get the scholarship??

*and dudettes

Yeah... This was an INTRODUCTION to evolution. He was talking about natural selection in present time... You're right it didn't have anything to do with the evolving of a species... Because that wasn't the subject of the video. Evolution is a vast topic with an incredible amount of information and support. It took Darwin over 20 years to formulate his theory. I would encourage you to read his work, as well as a book called "Ever Since Darwin." Please don't formulate your opinion solely based on what you watched in a 17 minute video. That's just ignorant. I understand where you stand on being skeptical and not believing something without proof. But.... believing 100 scientists' viewpoint should be easier than believing in god the way a book written over 2000 years ago explains it. (not to mention the countless changes the bible has undertaken)

Noah Sawyer Hi Noah, _Yeah... This was an INTRODUCTION to evolution. He was talking about natural selection in present time... You're right it didn't have anything to do with the evolving of a species... Because that wasn't the subject of the video._ Oh I see, only I was told on another thread that there is no difference between macro evolution and micro evolution. Only it would be a little misleading to use the evidence of a moth changing colours, and building on this for a change in species. I would hope you agree with that. _"Evolution is a vast topic with an incredible amount of information and support."_ Micro evolution does yes, macro borrows from micro because it doesn’t have any evidence outside imagination and hope, I have a list of scientist on my profile page who dispute the science behind macroevolution, can you give me a list of scientists, who disagree on gravity? _"It took Darwin over 20 years to formulate his theory. I would encourage you to read his work, as well as a book called "Ever Since Darwin." Please don't formulate your opinion solely based on what you watched in a 17 minute video."_ No I have studied it at school my science teacher is unable to give any evidence, I challenge him on his assumption that macroevolution is a graphic based science, showing nothing more than an ape slowly raising in its walking position, I’m afraid unless that’s a 30 million year old polaroid then that only counts as imagination and not science. further a moth becoming a moth isn’t evidence of anything is it? No you have to explain the shear mathematical impossibility, just adding a longer time isn’t good science its just illusion. I’m afraid you have science real science working against you, and real scientist who are not so gullible as to be impressed by graphics, it gets worse for you, you now have scientist so desperate that they have to reinterpret nothing to mean a quantum vacuum, I mean how far will you go? maybe show me a moth that changes colour as evidence perhaps! _" I understand where you stand on being skeptical and not believing something without proof. But.... believing 100 scientists' viewpoint should be easier than believing in god the way a book written over 2000 years ago explains it. (not to mention the countless changes the bible has undertaken)"_ Why have you brought God into this? Why have you mentioned the bible? Why do you try to justify macroevolution by trying to disprove some religion? Why not justify macroevolution on its facts? The simple truth is, it’s a tool that you use to disprove a religion, that is not only sad but it’s not the purpose of science. I think you have lost all credibility I’m afraid. 1. You have used an old book to justify your argument (Darwins) then condemned another old book because it didn’t suit your purposes. 2. You give credit to 20 years work and reject a 2000 years’ work, because it didn’t suit your purpose. 3. You tried to justify a fact in one field by disproving something in an unrelated field; I would have to ask why you would need to do this if you have a mountain of evidence to support your case. 4. you mention a god but do not give him his deity, you create him as a straw man solely to further you argument which as I have already said has nothing to do with God, but if it does then you have to give the correct status to that deity. 5. You need to give the evidence for the countless changes in the bible? Moreover, how this proves macro evolution. I will await episode two of this video to see where it is going, I hope we don’t see any more of the moth, as I could have given a much better example of microevolution from a 2000 year old book called the bible. sarah.

***** Hello Dan, Yes I completely agree, natural selection is that process exactly. if you feel you have been worshiping an abstract entity then you have! I doubt you worshiped, do you mean you went to church perhaps? Worship is a personal thing isn't it? if you and I attended my church and we sang a hymn, then I would be worshiping and you would be singing, I think you mean this perhaps. I don't know what you mean by it works? it doesn't work for me? I mean what do you expect it to do? I just live by the bible you live by whatever, so what, we both are living. When it rains the rain falls on me and you! I will die so will you; I may have a miserable life and you a good life. When I die I will go where I want to go, so will you. I was chosen by god for no reason whatsoever, so was your family, it sounds to me you wasn't, I am not one jot better than you, but I was chosen because it pleased god to do so, it pleased him not to choose you, I can no more become a non-believer than you could become a believer, it gets more bizarre, I have no more evidence than you do for my belief than you do for your disbelief! Odd isn't it, you would possibly have a brother who believes, yet you were brought up together. I was in church one week and I met this broken lady, it made me cry what she told me, she lost her only child, and was unable to have more, and she told me this is why she had so much faith, my auntie, doesn't believe because she lost her husband in a car accident, when I read the bible love jumps off every page, when you read it . . . . well you tell me lol. I like you, honest, direct, and respectful. Nice to meet you dan. Sarah

***** well I have to have my homework in by nine otherwise its a visit to the headmistress again, so I will be visiting her again, my dad won't let me wear makeup and all the other girls are allowed. I don't have a mum, so I am mum to my dad and brother, well in truth I am their slave. I love to babysit but my brother has to take me and pick me up otherwise my dad said I can't do it, if footballs on the tv he won't take me, footballs always on the television, and I hate it, on family days out guess what we do? we go and watch a football match, all in the name of family bonding of course, I note we never bond at the ballet. oh and the only decent boy in my class thinks I'm mother teresa. now if this wasn't bad enough, I have idiots asking me what's wrong!

Não existe uma divisão na evolução em macroevolução e microevolução, essa linha divisória serve apenas para fins didáticos. O fato é, que as micro "evoluções" acontecem o tempo todo, variando sua frequência de organismo para organismo. Basta que isso ocorro por centenas de milhões de anos, como de fato ocorreu, ou apenas algumas eras geológicas, para que seres com cérebros desenvolvidos como o nosso apontarem esse acúmulo de "microevoluções" como sendo uma macro evolução. Porém o conceito de espécie não é muito preciso, logo uma especiação (exemplo de macroevolução) poderia ser caracterizado por dois organismos intimamente relacionados, na história evolutiva, que não conseguem mais se reproduzir. A bem da verdade é que, para entender a evolução, é preciso primeiro, deixar o negacionismo de lado.

how did you do
