And I agree with you that we may never get all the facts of evolution straight but this type of research is getting us there. As someone who has spent several years living in a state that is highly religious-centric (Utah), it is refreshing to hear all the support for the theory. <br /><br />Posted by William MohnPeter Houlihanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00961900865379520219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008122866340502585.post-73009070097860054122012-03-10T14:36:15.663-08:002012-03-10T14:36:15.663-08:00i always find these debates very intriguing. i per...i always find these debates very intriguing. i personally think that science has come a long way in discovering our past, and it has hard evidence of our origins. As for religious beliefs on how we were created, we only have scriptures to rely on, not that I discredit any of these beliefs. I just feel evidence is a stronger tool to proving the truth. <br /><br /><br />-Hermann KamPeter Houlihanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00961900865379520219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008122866340502585.post-34573327497497644542012-03-09T19:46:58.188-08:002012-03-09T19:46:58.188-08:00This is a pretty interesting article.

With all we know about evolution it seems like we may never get the full picture or every little detail correct. This however is one step closer and I think that we should continue this research and take it as far as we can.<br /><br />Posted by Nicco CiccoliniPeter Houlihanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00961900865379520219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008122866340502585.post-58788103937688735392012-03-09T18:23:47.343-08:002012-03-09T18:23:47.343-08:00The idea of people rejecting evolution is a testam...The idea of people rejecting evolution is a testament to our country's huge foundation in religion and is honestly pretty disgusting. If you believe something other than fact fine go ahead and believe it, but "intelligent design" is not a theory. It is a religious farce created out of nothing to soothe the people who aren't intelligent or rational enough to realize that they can stay true to their faith and still not deny facts, truth, and progress. It is not something that should be taught in public schools. Separation of church and state and all that.<br /><br />Mike Selden (C)Peter Houlihanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00961900865379520219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008122866340502585.post-27881813498769248212012-03-09T17:40:33.912-08:002012-03-09T17:40:33.912-08:00Evolutuion provides evidence and examples as to ho...Evolutuion provides evidence and examples as to how the world, especially humans have evolved over time. Evolution made the correct comparision between us and chimps, not creationsim. I am a cathlioc and I grew up with the bible yet I find it is extremley hard to ignore the fact that evolution exists. Evolution is a theory that will lead to more discoveries and comparisons through additonal research which will benefit all.Tara Reynoldsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008122866340502585.post-23128462405558634972012-03-09T16:08:31.851-08:002012-03-09T16:08:31.851-08:00It's amazing to me how many people are still w...It's amazing to me how many people are still willing to deny the cold hard evidence that has been presented for the theory of evolution. It is terrifying to see presidential candidates try to dismiss the theory. Anyway, someone will definitely find a problem with this study and thus consider it "inconclusive". As soon as we find one missing link, two more are created.<br /><br />Posted by Michael ThomasPeter Houlihanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00961900865379520219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008122866340502585.post-55225632644250273762012-03-09T14:54:07.713-08:002012-03-09T14:54:07.713-08:00Evolution is a pretty cool field.

From sequencing the gnome we found out that there really isn't that much different between homo sapiens and the other great apes. They stayed relatively the same, while we have experienced such rapid changes. It makes you wonder if it ccould happen too another of the highly intelligent species given enough time.<br /><br />posted by Dorian PillariPeter Houlihanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00961900865379520219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008122866340502585.post-54782869659955087272012-03-09T14:38:31.295-08:002012-03-09T14:38:31.295-08:00I took a evolution class in biology last semester ...I took a evolution class in biology last semester and we learned all about the closeness of chimps and gorillas too humans. I was taught that chimps are the closest to humans. I, myself believe most in evolution instead of any other theory which is interesting because i grew up with the bible. Science is amazing and can prove things that religions and some other theories can't-quote "theories". I wonder what we find next and if chimps will evolve more.<br /><br />Posted by: Jen SilvaPeter Houlihanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00961900865379520219noreply@blogger.com
