But of course this makes sense in you far fetched stories of early men who lived millions of years ago going days without food.. storing fat would be very beneficial and sweet foods would be the preferred source because of its caloric density(even though the world didn't exist millions of years ago *genesis). The millions of years since than.. since the "cave men" or whatever you claim there was is when this stories starts making absolutely no sense what so ever.
You say man evolved, and sweet food and caloric surpluses were beneficial for survival, this, in theory, is plausible. However, food now has been available for "millions of years" according to evolution conspirators (only a couple of thousands of year imo *genesis). The major flaw is this logic is this; if evolution was true then the body over these "millions of years" would of evolved to the point at which it realized a large caloric surplus and sweets foods were unhealthy and dangerous for survival.
Clearly large amounts of calories and sweets are anything but beneficial to survival. Caloric surpluses in the US have been causing major health pandemics. Obesity, diabetes, heart disease, I could go on. Your counter argument will be that "we developed these instincts millions of years ago" yet you can provide no evidence to show why the body hasn't "evolved" over millions of years or realized food is widely available now.
If evolution were true,
1.the body would not encourage a large caloric surplus due to it decreasing chances of survival
2. vegetables are more available now than ever and maybe the most healthy food we can eat as far as decreasing diseases and disorders yet a majority of people prefer a donut over celery sticks.
3. if we evolved our bodies would realize we no longer required large amounts of calories and recognize large amounts are detrimental to health, in theory if evolution was true we'd actually prefer eating leafs to chocolate, overwhelmingly. If fact if evolution were true it would of prepared us to resist caloric surpluses by making sweet caloric dense foods taste undesirable
Conclusion
Evolution logic doesn't really seem so clear or make a lot of sense when you really think about it deeply.
Explanation, as it says in the bible, it mentions gluttony many times, one example follows.
1 Corinthians 3:16-17 ESV / 64 helpful votes
Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For God's temple is holy, and you are that temple.
Gluttony.. and in a more pure form "sin" gets the blame here. As any lust is sinful, gluttony is certainly a underrated one.

Nutmisc, if evolution is true how do you explain obesity?

food is readily available at all times anytime, we no longer need to hunt for food, thus causing us to eat as much as we want
the brain never evolved a trigger to tell us when to stop eating because we have always hunted and were always hungry
sugar is the reason why we crave donuts over celery sticks, it is like crack and people get addicted

Posting in a troll thread, but here goes. How can you deny evolution when there is tons of evidence then turn around and blindly believe the bible which there is no evidence?
How can you believe in a book that contradicts itself so much?
According to the bible, it was ok to have slaves. Wait wut? plz respond.

brb, expecting adaptation to a temporary situation in what amounts to a blink of an eye in evolutionary terms. The food situation is very new. Sexual selection and adaptation takes time. If this situation proves to be sustainable (hint, it's NOT) you will see sexual selection shift and adaptations occur.

Although I haven't spent too much time thinking about evolution due to the mathematical improbabilities and general lack of interest on my part I'll try to answer your question. You seem to be working under the assumption that the body has a mind of its own and that evolution occurs by some directed force. It does not. In theory it occurs as a random mutation or behavioral trait that is beneficial to the organism in some way which enhance its probability of survival. If that organism happens to survive long enough to pass on these beneficial genes then the organisms with this beneficial mutation (which is an oxymoron as far as I know) will thrive more than those who lack it and eventually they will outnumber the lesser fit members of their species. The key here is this mutation is a random event that just happens to help out the organism. There is no guarantee that a member of a species will have a particular "beneficial" mutation when needed. Hence why various species die off.
Personally, I find the lack of evidence in support of evolution disturbing (darthvader.jpg). While it makes a nice and probable story we can only examine a small portion of the past due to the small fraction of bones which become fossilized and which we actually find. Thus to get a representative sample from the past is unlikely. If you do the math the chances of a person developing a mutation that can actually benefit them is extremely remote especially when you consider the small number of humans that live on the planet (the number being smaller as you go back in time). If we were insects we would have a better chance (numerically). Anyways, the willingness of people to wholeheartedly accept most every aspect of it is no more absurd than religious people holding to their biblical stories.
If scientists are having such a difficult time coming to the correct conclusions about things we can directly test and observe (even simple things) what makes you think they can examine a few remnants of the past and come to the correct conclusion?

OP, what you've just written is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent post were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this forum is now dumber for having read it. I award you no reps, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Holy fuk yes! Finally someone with the balls to call science out on its BS! Evolution? Some of you may have evolved from a monkey, but not ME! You can have "evidence", but you'll not sway my faith. DNA sequencing and phylogeny sounds like the devils work to me.
Also, if "evolution" is true, how do you explain homosexuality? You cant. The homosexuals would have died out by now..but the devil keeps them around to molest our children.
OP, for your next thread, I suggest proving that dinosaurs did not exist. You can find all the evidence in the bible. Maybe if you have time you can prove to us that the world is flat too.Transformation Journal:
