Your first mistake was reading Carl Sagan.
Right...
As for me, I have never heard of this Eve Gene, but it seems to me looking for an obscure theory 30 years ago from a man who was agnostic on all matters of religion is likely more of a fail than anything you might accuse of Creationism.
Cool well poisoning attempt! It fails, miserably, but still cool.
Suppose for a second that it is true, that there's some sort of genetic marker separating humans from the general population.
It isn't true. Creationists claiming great scientific knowledge are, in my experience, nearly always embellishing to the point of fabrication or are lying outright.
There is no "Eve gene", yet creationists claiming decades of debate and study claim otherwise.
Okay. So what? The general opinion of atheists on Christians is that all of them are weird fringe types who don't believe in gravity or evolution.
No, not all Christians, just creationist/right-wing evangelical types. whom, I have been lead to believe, even mainstream Christians see as a sort of embarrassment.
I think you'll be shocked then to find out that most of them do in fact live in the same scientific world as you, grew up learning biology and physics, and actually have no problem with the idea of evolution.
See above.
What they do have a problem with is Darwin's bleak godless view of reality, and his ideas that life is about the fittest surviving (uhhh yeah, when you have that mindset in business as a boss, all of your employees become stressed that you'll decide they're not "fit" enough, and are unable to be calm enough to do their jobs)
Ah - so despite your implication that you are one of these Christians that "live in the same scientific world as you, grew up learning biology and physics, and actually have no problem with the idea of evolution" you do not actually understand what is meant by "fittest" in evolutionary biology.
All I needed to know, really.
. But that humans or other animals evolve? No, there's not that many who dispute you on that.
The disputers, however, never seem capable of providing any kind of legitimate evidence to the contrary. It is almost as if there is none.
Which is why this is not "score one for me against Creationism" but rather just being fixated on something that doesn't even matter.
This forum is called "Evolution v. Creationism.' You know that, yes?
I am 'fixated' on the overwhelming ignorance, bolstered by unwarranted confidence, that is characteristic of so many - in my experience, nearly all - creationists. People who will almost boast about their being a lay person, then declare confidently that all scientists are wrong. Or the people who will claim that they have "studied" or "debated" evolution for 30 or 40 years, yet are entirely unfamiliar with basic scientific terminology.
I don't need to seek to 'score' anything - the points pile up all by themselves on forums like this.
That humans evolve is a fact, people in Korea have a gene that inhibits sweat, allowing them to adapt to cold climates.
So Koreans don't sweat? How do they dissipate excess body heat? You know it gets very hot in Korea, too?
Are you also going to tell me about the 'extra tendon' that Africans have that allows them to jump high?
We didn't evolve from monkeys though, nor did birds evolve from dinosaurs.
The evidence says you are wrong.
And given what you have written thus far, I will take the evidence that I am familiar with over, unsubstantiated weird assertions.
Humans are a specific type of primate, there no missing links. Dinosaurs are lizards, related to to the iguana not birds. If they even exist. Such bones all seemed to appear in convenient places, have mix and match bones some of which are fish bones, have a skeletal structure that is not compatible with gravity, and none were discovered before Darwin's publications.
Are you a fan of Chopra?
It seems like it.
From this we can conclude that while evolutionary adaptation is a thing, while major evolutionary change is probably not.
And yet you don't know about the "Eve gene."
Shocking...
