Whoever voted negative on this comment does not fully understand my point. I am pointing out how ridiculous it is to believe that all life started 6,000 years ago and all species were already made exactly as they are. The fact that this particular fungus is surviving by eating plastic simply states that evolution happened and is still happening. Or maybe he did fully understand but just got offended by my mockery of the Judeo-Christian-Islamic version of how the universe, the world, and life began.
Or maybe they understood you and thought that your hate mongering vitriol doesn't belong here. No one brought up evolution or creationism here but you.
Hate? is telling the truth hate? Religion is an idea. Like any other idea it should be subjected to scrutiny and criticism. Unfortunately in our culture criticizing religion is considered wrong. I did not even criticize any religion in particular but criticized a specific idea, an idea contradicted by scientific evidence. Religion should not be untouchable when its teaching contradict science. No Hate mongering or vitriol here. Implying that the doctrine of special creation is flat wrong is not hate mongering, it is simply telling the truth.
It is not off subject. This is very strong evidence for speciation. The discovery of such fungus has wide implications, from industrial applications to proving the theory that life adapts and continue to evolve. It is related because the very existence of this life form proves a scientific theory.
I apologize if the way I said it was offensive. But I will not apologize for telling the truth. The idea that we evolved is not just an opinion, it is a fact backed by evidence. I couldn't say the same about the doctrine of special creation.
