1. “aytheeyizuhm”<br />3rd paragraph<br />Organisms gradually adapt to the environments they are exposed to and the ones that cannot adapt, die out and thus only the fittest of the organisms survive. Thus, only the genes of the fittest organisms gets transferred and remains and thus those organisms adapt. Now, DNA copying sometimes does not turn out to be perfect, this leads to variation. If the variation is beneficial or does not cause harm to the organism and its survival, it is retained, otherwise it is removed through the extinction of organisms with that particular variation or trait. Variations can be both minor and drastic. But the more drastic variations, if not suitable for the organism, will get wiped out. The variation does not necessarily have to be beneficial, as long as the survival of the organism is not hampered, it can be retained. Thus, after a period of time, the DNA structure of the organism deviates from the original DNA structure of the original organism. Since the copies of DNA are not always perfect, and after each generation, the error of copying the original organisms DNA structure will become greater, and after a period of time, this variation will be so great, that the organism cannot mate with another organism bearing the original DNA structure, as DNA structure requires to be as identical as possible for copying. This leads to speciation ( organism with one type of DNA cannot mate with the organism of another type). But errors in copying continue to happen and even the new species deviates from its own new DNA structure. This leads to more speciation and eventually, the organism's variation may be so drastic from the original, that the physical structure differs, enough for it to appear as a different 'animal'.<br />People who know nothing about evolution, or like to over-simplify things for the sake of convenience (like the media, for example), will tell you that we humans 'evolved from monkeys/apes'. Again, this is a false idea. Humans and apes share an evolutionary relationship; humans and apes evolved from a common ancestor. The original organism deviated through variation and finally speciated into humans and apes, and other similar organisms.<br />(4th paragraph – next page – it’s small, I just put it on the next page for convenience sake =) )<br />4th paragraph:<br />First of all, regardless of characteristic, WE ATHEISTS SIMPLY DO NOT BELIEVE IN ANY GOD(S) WHATSOEVER!!<br />Emphasize? I'm sorry that some people can't get it through their thick skulls that atheism refers ONLY TO THE LACK OF BELIEF IN A DEITY(s) (GOD(s)) OR ANY RELIGION. NOTHING ELSE!!<br />Belief in evolution, Big bang theory, science or any other belief or ideology is n NOT NECESSARILY an atheist characteristic.<br />'The core precepts of aytheeyizuhm are to make fun of Christians and spend exorbitant amounts of time on the internet.'<br />No, it is not. I'm not saying there aren't rude or insulting atheists but that goes both ways; so all theists are open minded, kind and never rude?<br />Why do you think it is an essential feature of an atheist to 'spend exorbitant amounts of time on the internet'? Again, not saying that ALL atheists may just answer a few questions and be done with it, but then again, do all theists observe a limit as to how much time they spend on the internet and don't bother to try and answer all the questions they can with 'facts' based on their beliefs?<br />
