I donot rebuff evolution, although it seems to answer in some questions if one takes up certain logic. I have always wondered wy plants have not evolved ?, why only one species out of millions has evolved ?, crocs have existed since the time of the dinosaurs and yet they look the same today. Why have the plants not evolved ???

Pavan - plants are continously evolving just like us! by the time the present day plants reach the next advanced stage of evolution, we wud be replaced by some other generation several 100s of thousands of years from now - evolution does not take place in a few years or even a few thousand years! it takes over 100 of 1000s/millions of years

HI Pavan I am a doctor but I seriously doubt the theory of evolution-I think Darwins theory is false and the scientific community knows that but cannot accept it-it probably can explain a bit about adaptation of species but can never tell you the fundamental question-how did species originate ?The whole concept that we evolved from apes does not make any sense-if that is the case such diversity will not exist-until the scientific establishment comes with a convincing theory about how life originated we have to accept the concept of intelligent design by a creator. Pavan your doubts are geniune and cannot be answered by Darwins theory of evolution-there is a great deal of scientific evidence refuting it and if you want to watch it,instead of reading it try it on youtube-you have a number of links shredding Darwins theory to pieces.

There are gaps in terms of missing proofs in the theory of evolution but the theory is largely valid. It actually accounts quite well for all bio diversity. In fact, there are islands where due to unique conditions evolution is taking place at a fairly rapid pace.
It is difficult to prove in every case conclusively what organism exactly came from where. However, there is a vast preponderence of evidence for a lot of plants and animals.
In humans the evolutionary line from apes is mostly clear. There are gaps though. But if you go over the entire evolutionary theory on apes, you will find it accounts quite well for the differences among various ape families in terms of evolutionary origin and the evolutionary end.
Just because there are gaps in the proofs, it does not discount the entire theory.

I do understand the theory of evolution, and i know we cannot observe evolution because we are part of it, however this being said, there were plants during the times of dinosaurs, and there are plants now, same old, they grow out of the ground, pretty much. After the so called mass extinction of the dinosaurs, new species came to light, and rapidly evolved, creating mammals, and out of apes the present day human being. What i do not understand is this, why have we so rapidly evolved ??, i.e are we continously changing ?, if so why ?, and why not the other species. P.S : I understand we cannot 'see' our own evolution, but please explain why other species since the dawn of the apes have not evolved into something where as we have evolved into 'Humans'

I do not rebuff the theory of evolution either, but keep in mind that these theories are constantly changing. Just recently there was this hue and cry about human beings evolving from fish and not apes. At this rate someday they will come up with a theory of us evolving from certain species of plants and you will have your answer as to why plants didn't evolve.

Since Earth is 75% percent water life naturally originated in water so in a way humans like many life forms evolved from fish but humans directly evolved from apes. 95% of DNA sequence is indentical between Humans and Chimpanzees.So we are not LIKE Apes we infact ARE apes.Of course human ego finds it difficult to accept but facts are facts. As for the so-called doctor above who doubts Evolution, diversity exists precisely because of evolution. It takes billions of years for a unicellular orgamism to evolve into a multicellular one.It cant happen overnight. Some survive , many do not. We are here because of billions of years of evolution and not because some God somewhere snapped his/her fingers and created man out of nothing.
