How come the only strand of HIV to be found in the history of Earth was found a mere 40 years ago? Before then, HIV didn't exist. It was nowhere to be seen. The only rational explanation is that a previous virus evolved into what we now know as HIV... Unless you have a different conclusion, Goodscience?
Thank you for your decent question. I hope you are a decent person.
The belief and the definition of evolution would not allow you to use the word "evolve" in reference to any creature, based on the real evidence we have and how all of the evidence only shows what is real.
In order for virus to evolve it has to turn into some other creature. Virus has always remained as the same creature of different strains.
It would be like finding a race of pygmies and telling everyone they are not human. This is, by the way, one of the foundational beliefs of Darwin. He thought that pygmies and black people should be destroyed so as to not ruin the gene pool of the evolved white people.
Bacteria has always been the same creature of different strains.
Dogs have always been the same creature.
Horses have always been the same creature.
We have no evidence of any morphological changes or genome changes, in any species that could be called evolution.
Evolution is this idea that one creature becomes another over some immense time. This use of the word "evolve" when referring to the ability of creatures to adapt in order to survive is the problem.
These fools and victims of delusion, think that if a creature adapts to food or environment it has evolved. No. It has adapted. It will never break the boundaries of the systematic genetic structures of is foundational genetic make up. This is what we find in evidence all over this planet. It is nothing more than a genealogy of the original parent group of any species.
The classifications of creatures is all screwed up because of this religious belief in mystical causes and magical processes.
This makes it difficult to teach you what has really happened in biology. The "tree of life" is a religious belief, because without DNA there is no evidence to back up this religious belief. So these fools, will classify based on nonsense and get away with it because they are all in the same disgusting religion.
Evolution is a fraud. Adaptation to survive is true and has huge mountains of evidence for it. It is all the evidence we have in the real world. There exists no evidence for any evolution.
The absolute truth is that creatures are somehow programmed to survive and adapt IF THEY CAN. Some creatures can survive and adapt much better than others.
This is why we have fossils on 110 million year old crocodiles and 70 million year old opossums. But they are still crocks and opossums. They did not change. No species has evolved into an entirely new species with totally new genetics and never have they crossed the genus or clad of any classification. They remain as the same genus and with the same DNA structures.
On the other hand thousands of birds have gone extinct just in my lifetime, because of their delicate reproductive issues with the poisons and harsh changes in the environment.
In the fossil record, as screwed up as it is, are no transitional forms. In order to have transitional forms, you have to see them. There are no trails of creatures with millions of fossils showing this transition and developing features. All we have are totally complete and finished creatures in the fossil record.
We have already shown that fossilization is far more common than these foolish nitwit believers want to think, because part of the mysteriousness and mystical crap is projected on the fact that they believe the evidence must have been destroyed along the way.
There is no evidence of the evidence being destroyed and we have 88% of the living fossils of the non bird vertebrate. That means the original fossils of creatures living now have been found and they are all unchanged in their basic morphology, so much so that they are immediately recognized.
Evolution <=> (is not equal to) Adaptation in order to survive.
Evolution is human emotional mental garbage. It is a belief that is not founded on any evidence.
I keep saying the same truth over and over.
In all the evidence we have on ALL creatures they only are shown to adapt as the same creature, sometimes their body shape is different like the Camel and the Llama but they are still able to breed after 2 million years of separation, by the screwed up assumptive and nearly worthless radiometric dating system.
I can easily find tons of data that shows creatures adapt in order to survive AS THE SAME CREATURES. It is in the DNA, in the Fossils, In the speciation, in Virus, in bacteria, in all the living creatures we have today. However, there is not one speck if evidence that any creature has broken the boundaries of genetics and became a new genus. There is no evidence of any drastic changes to any species.
There is no evidence of any marine life that became human over some immense time as it evolved from fish to reptiles, to birds, to mammals. Since we have no evidence of any evolution of any creature in the entire world, I would say that this belief is nonsense.
All of this crap is a projection of mystical, magical fantasy. Anyone who believes in this crap is weak, and has no credibility.
If you have no way to show evolution in any possible way after all this time that this garbage religion has been on the planet, then it is not science. They used to believe that fish could transform and walk out of the water. This was the original version of this nonsense religion. This religion is founded on the idea of mermaids and mystical creatures.
So, basically, this idea of virus "evolving" is mystical nonsense.
