Any genious of evolution want to explain how a fig tree evolved?
Verbal attacks and strange answers are not correct.
plants "evoved" before insects and animals correct?????
Atheists and evolutionists this should be easy.you claim to know about it.
you caught my typing mistake but where are all the experts I see on R&S?
I do want an mature and accurate answer that explains and proves it evoved.
.............
Which came first the chicken or the egg?
great answer No Shortage.

Bruce & No Shortage have said it very precisely & very wisely. Actually, the only evolution that's going on nowadays is the evolution of those willing to embrace anything that doesn't have to do with anything Godly. They constantly change their minds to fit into the molds they've made for themselves. I've heard it stated that it takes more faith to believe in evolution than in creation. To believe that something caused a big explosion, then over billions of years (it was millions when I was in public school in the 60's) it morphed into other things just takes way more faith than it does to believe that an intelligent & wise God made everything just as it is all in 6 days. I'd like to know what caused that big explosion, what gave it the power to explode & why. At least I know why God did what He did (it's all in the Bible...no guesswork involved). Evolution doesn't explain a lot of things, like the cockroach, which, according to "experts", hasn't evolved from it's current form (cockroaches have been found in fossil form from "millions" of years ago). And also the alligator hasn't found it important to morph either. I love how the "experts" come up with excuses when confronted with specimens like these which haven't "evolved". They call it natural selection, or other such drivel. In other words, they don't know. And there's much they don't know either, yet force their brand of science down all our throats & force our kids to believe this as a fact, when it's still called "the THEORY of evolution". Why not call it the FACT of evolution, if you really believe it? Why, indeed. You can't call it a FACT because it's not a FACT. All you have are a bunch of theories that some Godless scientists came up with in order to have something to counter against creation. Yeah, you can call me a religious nut, a clueless Christian, and an ignoramus...and you'd be right. I don't know everything. But, what I do know, I'm sure of. And that's that I was created by an intelligent & loving God Who created me to have a relationship with Him. That's it. No big "woo-woo" about it. We were created because it pleased God to do so. Now why is THAT so hard to understand? I didn't have to turn myself inside out to understand it & it didn't take a billion years for me to figure it out either. Just simple faith. God said it, I believe it. Simple. <*)))><

I love how people talk about evolution as if they were there and saw it all happen before their very eyes. It's also interesting that when I was growing up and the public schools taught that God created the world, public schools were correct. However, those same exact teachers were later forced to teach evolution when the curriculum changed, and then they were correct again. Thanks to the public school system we have an entire generation, almost two now, who are unable to think critically. They merely recite what they have heard.
There are many, many scientists who do not believe in evolution, just like there are many, many scientists who do not believe in global warming. We are media-controlled world, and when you add to that nearly two generations of people who cannot and will not formulate an independent thought, you have the mess we are in today. Thank you, Madeline Murray O'Hair. (Who was murdered and buried in a field in Texas, by the way.)
If you haven't seen the movie Expelled with Ben Stein, get it. It's really good. You can buy it on amazon.com for less than 20 bucks.
And as you know, the chicken the came first and the fig tree did not evolve. Stupidity, however, continues to evolve and get worse, consistent with the basic scientific principle that chaos devolves into more chaos, and it is impossible to create something from nothing.
(I thank you all in advance for the thumbs down, and I thank God you all have a thumbs. Have a nice day.)

If you really wanted an answer, you'd ask in the science section.
As for plants evolved before insects - no. Plants and insects are constantly evolving. They have co-existed and continuously evolved for the last several million years.
As for the fig tree - it evolved like everything else - through random mutation and natural selection.
If you want proof, that can't actually be provided here because it requires a degree of education in evolution, which would take a good year to do.

Yes, plants evolved before animals. The fig tree, however, was not the first plant. Fig trees evolved from other kinds of trees, and trees evolved from other kinds of flowering plants, and those plants evolved from primitive plants like ferns, and those evolved from even simpler plants that ultimately evolved from mats of algae, which in turn evolved from even simpler single-celled organisms. It's a huge question. Can you be more specific? What parts of this process would you like to learn more about?
EDIT: You can email me with more specific questions if you genuinely would like to know more about it.
Re: the chicken vs. egg thing: The egg came first. Many animals laid eggs long before chickens.

The short answer: Fig trees didn't evolve. They were created by God in an explosion of creative genius to make the earth a habitable place for humans, the only creatures made in his image.
Darwinists would have us believe fig trees evolved from bacteria. However, they don't explain how bacteria appeared, programed with an encyclopedia of DNA information and equipped with microscopic machinery, from inanimate chemicals. I don't have enough faith to believe the atheist creation myth.
Cheers,
Bruce

Through natural selection, more grew of that mutation of tree so it get to exist.
Yes the first plants evolved before the first insects but guess what? They never stopped evolving they are in fact still evolving and the fig evolved after the wasp.
But hay we all know you will never believe that and the answer "God is real deal with it" is getting best answer
EDIT: "I do want an mature and accurate answer that explains and proves it evolved." Proof is a math mathematical concept NOTHING IN SCIENCE is proven. You can just follow the DNA back through what? no idea ask a botanist, not my job to know not an atheists job to know. Now can I have I do want an mature and accurate answer that explains and proves it cake to be is any other way?

Oh, now, Im sure with your smug superior attitude that no scientific explanation would satisfy you. Lets just say, theres a big invisible man in space who made everything in 7 days 4000 years ago and you can go happily on your way. Thats all that you really want to hear, isn't it?

The same way everything else did; through genetic mutation that was better suited to living under certain environmental conditions, and you have it wrong: a more simple version of plant life popped up before animal life did, true, but they have continued to change since.
Source(s): Where's the confusion? - Anonymous1 decade ago
I'm not sure what you mean by how, but it evolved large leaves to intake as much of the Sun's energy as possible to grow it's large fruit which it evolved for animals to eat and poop out the seeds.
No, the actual fig would have evolved as a response to animals.
- Anonymous1 decade ago
The same way the rest of the trees evolved.
FYI: You might want to learn to spell genius if you are trying to sound smart.
Added: No they didn't. Plants evolved alongside animals. Things with flowers (like the fig) didn't show up until the very late Jurassic.
