Orangutans also face each other when they have sex.


Was going to say the same thing about bonobos. And they definitely "make love", not rape

Orangutans also face each other when they have sex.

Well, you should explain yourself as I do... this is EIA in every sense of the term! Awesomeness is naturally selected FOR and lives on!

It's too bad the EIA channel can't be applicable here.
Because this orangutan is moving the other way in evolution than the the other idiots on that channel!

We really should have a channel called evolution.

You guys don't understand EIA. EIA doesn't mean the person has to do something stupid or die. If someone does something awesome, lives to tell about it and has offspring who then go on to be awesome that is ALSO EIA. Therefore, I invoke eia

I do understand what EIA means to me and obviously to you, however in the many times I have invoked EIA for similar videos, I have always gotten rejected saying that it's not what the channel on videosift is about.

"I am so blowing their minds right now! I've got this 'being human' shit down well enough to convince them of how smart we are. Soon they'll let us out of here and assimilate us in to their society! All because of me!.... Maybe i could even become Mayor?"

Second orangutan arrives and starts licking the rock.

"Oh Larry FFS!"

I think it's called *nature

(*zing!*)

in Japan even orangutans are more civilized

I'm not sure how you see yourself as any less dogmatic than I am..and Im sorry for making you sad. I hope that you haven't wasted too many kleenexs on me, but save them for yourself..you'll need them when you figure out evolution is wrong.

Here is the key portion of your wiki article:

"Ideally, this list would only recursively include 'true' transitionals, fossils representing ancestral specie from which later groups evolved, but most, if not all, of the fossils shown here represent extinct side branches, more or less closely related to the true ancestor"

What we see in the fossil record is that when something new shows up its all at once and is fully formed and then never changes. Ie, no true transitionals have ever been discovered. What has never been witnessed in the fossil record is steady progressive change of one kind of thing into something completely different.

You think this is a gap? It's a super massive black hole, and the vacuum may be in your head if you believe it. Here's some info:

John Bonner, a biologist at Princeton, writes that traditional textbook discussions of ancestral descent are "a festering mass of unsupported assertions." In recent years, paleontologists have retreated from simple connect-the-dot scenarios linking earlier and later species. Instead of ladders, they now talk of bushes. What we see in the fossils, according to this view, are only the twigs, the final end-products of evolution, while the key transitional forms which would give a clue about the origin of major animal groups remain completely hidden.

The blank spots on evolutionary "tree" charts occur at just the points where, according to Darwin's theory, the crucial changes had to take place. The direct ancestors of all the major orders: primates, carnivores, and so forth are completely missing. There is no fossil evidence for a "grandparent" of the monkey, for example. "Modern gorillas, orangutans, and chimpanzees spring out of nowhere," writes paleontologist Donald Johansen. "They are here today; they have no yesterday." The same is true of giraffes, elephants, wolves, and all species; they all simply burst upon the scene de novo [anew], as it were.

I think you're the one who needs to re-evaluate your beliefs.

the bar is still incredibly low..one of the best transitional forms out there is based on a whales nostril..i would find that embarassing if i believed in evolution. show me something convincing. also, give me an example of mutation that increases information in a genome while you're at it.
You've said that you aren't ignorant of science, yet you ignore the science that proves these things. You, and people like you, are not really interested in the facts, you are interested in finding all the gaps so you can point and say "aha, there is a god!" I am truly saddened by people like you - it breaks my heart that you can be so smart and so blind at the same time.
But you asked for yet more proof so I am at your service.
A (comparatively) short list of transitional forms: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_transitional_fossils
As for the claim that mutations not increasing information in a genome:
"We have observed the evolution of
increased genetic variety in a population (Lenski 1995; Lenski et al. 1991)
increased genetic material (Alves et al. 2001; Brown et al. 1998; Hughes and Friedman 2003; Lynch and Conery 2000; Ohta 2003)
novel genetic material (Knox et al. 1996; Park et al. 1996)
novel genetically-regulated abilities (Prijambada et al. 1995)
If these do not qualify as information, then nothing about information is relevant to evolution in the first place."
You can look up those scholarly articles if you actually don't want to remain ignorant. They are listed here: http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/CB/CB102.html

Those clubs are designed to smash through the skull causing instant death. They don't work 100% of the time but they have been designed as the most humane method of killing the seals. They are not left to die or disembowelled alive. Not by hunters anyhow, by poachers maybe.

Exactly, if you're going to hunt, there's no need to draw the death out so long, that's just weird.
Never mind club it to death, I'd probably snuggle the life out of it. Still can't beat sloths and orangutans in cuteness for me though!
