Then give me an actual recorded example of it happening. Not talking about bacteria evolving into other bacteria, but actual evolution on the scale of single called organisms to vertebrates
|
|
|
|
|
The fossil record.
However, if you feel evolution is wrong then there is nothing to stop you writing up your explanation, having it peer reviewed and published in a reputable journal.
If you are correct you will win a Nobel Prize and be globally feted
If you are wrong you will get a job with Ken Ham

There are places in the fossil record where single trees stand vertically through many layers.
In the fossils, we see more "advanced" creatures who could flee uphill the longest in a mass extinction event buried near the top.

Evolution definitely has a sense of humor, at least, a twisted one. It created humans, after all.

A "creator" might need a sense of humour for that, but it's par for the course for evolution.

So, below, magadaam's post had a link. Going there i read about all the lovely things Cortana can do for the users. All those butt-wipes on TV saying how they're so glad their privacy's protected and how important the privacy of their phone is to them. Heaven forbid the FBI or NSA gets information from some phones.
Cortana - it's just an overt version of what they've already signed up for with the need for the conveniences of all of the apps they can't live without. All that personal data be uploaded and all that privacy being downloaded (read the "flushed down the toilet") - but Apple's their hero, with Micro$oft giving them their full support, . . . etc etc etc.
This is the true meaning of that expression "No Brainer" - the vast sweating hordes of users with no real regard for their privacy deciding how important it is to them.
And who's going to give up their sultry-voiced-helpful-allknowing-talking-phone-based-personal-assistant?
From the Wikipedia (=why it's too late before you start):
Privacy
Cortana indexes and stores user information. It can be disabled; this will cause Windows search to search the Web as well as the local computer, but this can be turned off. Turning Cortana off does not in itself delete user data stored on Microsoft's servers, but it can be deleted by user action.[47]

Well... the name is megaadam and nothing else. For the record, my post was regarding how we spend a vast part our lives, the link was a source reference only.
And I do of course agree with you! Google, Apple, MS etc all try to provide with you with these "indispensable" featuers which I always... eh, gladly dispense. Premium member at the super market? Not me!

Actually (and despite the extra 'a' I awarded you), your post wasn't being replied to. I followed your link, read about Cortana, and had the urge to purge.

Cortana isn't enabled on this computer anyway: if I click on it's little circle, I get "Before I can help, you'll need to go the Settings, and change your Speech language to one I can speak".
Apparently, "English" isn't one of them... 
Can I be bothered to fix it? No. It uses Bing, so it won't find anything useful anyway!

Well - I can help you with that.
There's a movie that can help you clean up that unintelligible accent, reforming it into something not only more realistic but more satisfying and infinitely more accessible.
It can be accessed by studying Dick van Dyke in the "Mary Poppins" movie.
Trust me on this - when you can speak like Burt then your Cortana will flirt!

You are assuming that I want my computer to listen when I speak to it.
Given most of the words that I currently use in the direction of my computer, that probably wouldn't be a good idea...
