More on Quora - Still shaking my head!!

Ugghhh!  My question on Quora-
In detail, delineate what evidence biologists have to support their theory of human evolution?
I am looking for some specific data not the whole story of evolution or proof of evolution.

So I ask please exclude any evidence related to other animals, insects, plants, etc..
Also exclude anthropology (except biology), archaeology and other soft sciences.

this is the kind of idiotic answers I get:

Hmm as noted, you posed the question in an interesting way, where interesting is a pejorative.
First we can observe evolution in a test tube, in nature and even in humans (c.f. development of high cholesterol resistance in Northern Italy in 18th century).  So the question becomes if evolution does occur, and that is provable, can it be used to support a model of evolution of the various species.  But this rests on an old earth:  4.5 billion years old.  This comes from geology.  do you admit the geologic evidence?  But the geologic evidence rests on readioactive aging techniques for rock:  do you accept modern atomic theory?  And so forth.  More  correctly if you want to challenge the model of human evolution, what evidence do you have that it is incorrect?  Since as noted there is copiuss evidence that it is correct.  The burden of disproof at this point is actually on you.

Observations of QUORA.com "I shake my head" :/

I have been on Quora for a couple years now and have made some disheartning observations.   My hope is these observations are not the norm but believe it to be so.  Reading comprehension is abysmal leading to many confrontations.  Then there are too many that do not have a clue to a subject and answer out of Wiki or some source similar.  Those who answer on the popular side of science (right or wrong) like Man Made Climate Change and Human Evolution too often offer up spoon fed platitudes without any data.  They name subtopics such as DNA and Genomes but never go into detail.  They viciously attack Creationist and Intelligent design with insults and hate and refuse civil debate.  On the social science front rewritten history is recited over and over but never really defended.
It is sad to see and frustrating to deal with.

Information in the Vaccination / Anti-Vaccination War.

For your consideration the facts not often discussed from the CDC, NCVIA, VAERS:
A look at the USA and Measels:
current population  319 mil
percent vaccinated 85-91% (depending on source)
negative side effects - 1 in 3000 high fevers and or siezures (CDC stats)
Pop X Vacc % / 3000 = number of fevers and or siezures (siezures and high fevers  can lead to brain damage or death)

CDC does not publish records on deaths from MMR vaccine or long term effects of siezures and high fevers.  Why not treat the data on reactions as serious as vaccinations?
A statement from the CDC: A vaccine, like any medicine, is capable of causing serious problems, such as severe allergic reactions. The risk of MMRV vaccine causing serious harm, or death, is extremely small.
QUESTIONS: 
How small?  Number of vaccinated?  number of cases measles?  number of deaths measles?

Mild Problems
    Fever (up to 1 person out of 6)
    Mild rash (about 1 person out of 20)
    Swelling of glands in the cheeks or neck (about 1 person out of 75)

If these problems occur, it is usually within 7-12 days after the shot. They occur less often after the second dose.

Moderate Problems
    Seizure (jerking or staring) caused by fever (about 1 out of 3,000 doses)
    Temporary pain and stiffness in the joints, mostly in teenage or adult women (up to 1 out of 4)
    Temporary low platelet count, which can cause a bleeding disorder (about 1 out of 30,000 doses)

Severe Problems (Very Rare)
    Serious allergic reaction (less than 1 out of a million doses)
    Several other severe problems have been reported after a child gets MMR vaccine, including:
        Deafness
        Long-term seizures, coma, or lowered consciousness
        Permanent brain damage

You have to dig for deaths which shows 108 in the last 10 years of which 96 were Measles vaccines (far more than from measles).  This number is likely low as reporting is voluntary thus incomplete.

As to the 2014 numbers of measle cases were an anomaly as old amish communities accounted for 383 cases (from some 500,000+ amish).  minus that, measle cases were about normal to slightly high

The  VAERS - NCVIA (created by National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act) :
 Number of Reports VAERS Receives
VAERS receives around 30,000 reports annually, with 13% classified as serious (e.g., associated with disability, hospitalization, life-threatening illness or death) (CDC VAERS Master Search Tool, April 2, 2008). Since 1990, VAERS has received over 200,000 reports, most of which describe mild side effects such as fever. Very rarely, people experience serious adverse events following immunization. By monitoring such events, VAERS helps to identify any important new safety concerns and thereby assists in ensuring that the benefits of vaccines continue to be far greater than the risks.

Many different types of adverse events occur after vaccination. About 85-90% of the reports describe mild adverse events such as fever, local reactions, and episodes of crying or mild irritability. The remaining reports reflect serious adverse events involving life-threatening conditions, hospitalization, permanent disability, or death, which may or may not have been caused by a vaccine.

That means 3,900 serious side effects from vaccinations in the USA with deaths higher that deaths from actual measles cases.

When we talk about vaccines the side effects should be included for parents to make a informed decision. 
  I believe in Freedom of Choice, a Liberty some would like to strip with a Federal Mandated Vaccination Law. 

The New Science for contentious fields like ACC, AGW, Evolution and such?

It is sad that many in the more contentious science fields like Evolution of Man Biology, Man Made Global Warming (Anthropogenic), Man Made Climate Control (Anthropogenic) and so on have gone this route.

This deserves 1 more look - Lover of Freedom!

Rising problems with Quora.com

Quora is becoming a one sided cocktail weenie roast ruled by Man Made Climate Change Folks or to be PC Anthropogenic Climate Change , Gun Control Freaks, Anti 2nd Amendment, Biology Evolutionist, Anti US Constitution (outdated), Athiest or Agnostic only.  Quora is making it hard for honest discoarse, allowing slander from the above mentioned.  The above serve up platitudes and spoonfed talking points void of evidence along with stinging insults.  There is nothing wrong with these subjects just the rabid manner they are touted.
 Yes, what I had hoped to be a intellectual outlet is but a fly trap for those interested in exchange and knowledge.

Alarmist and the Ozone Hole Mess!

Changes in technology for collecting data lead to uncertain comparisons.
One example ozone data collection leading to the declaration that the Ozone Layer is disappearing and needs for radical protection. Truth, NASA recognized a problem with technological differences and commissioned Ball Aero Space to develop bridge technology to try and accurately compare 1970's –80’s data to current data (pre ‘77 no data). Before 1977 (Pawan Bhartia with NASA) it was an unknown condition. At last I knew Ball was still unsuccessfully trying to figure it out. Further question, why are areas with hole in the ozone not destroyed by the lack of ozone as the pundits depict in their Ozone Hole Warnings?

If you look from 1990 to the present there is little change. Any thing before that is bad data and basically reflects bad data.

Series on Early 1900's Written History ignored by AGW and ACC #3

AGW and ACC believers ignore written history and rely on suspect data as the leg their argument stands on.  With out historical data they have no argument to base any thing on.  Keep in mind climate changes all the time for various reasons.

ARCTIC CLIMATE'S ALARMING CHANGE LOS ANGEL.ES. May 30.— A mysterious warming of the climate is slowly manifesting itself in the Arctic, and in the Antarctic ice regions and the major Greenland ice cap should reduce at the same rate as the present melting, oceanic surfaces would rise to catastrophic proportions, and people living in lowlands along the shores would be inundated, said Dr. Hans Ahlmann, noted Swedish geophysicist today, at tbe University of California's Geophysical Institute. Dr. Ahlmann added that temperatures in the Arctic have increased by 10 degrees Fahrenheit since 1900. An 'enormous' rise from the scientific standpoint. Waters in the Spitsbergen area, in the same period, have risen from three to five degrees in temperature, and one to one and a half millimetres yearly in level. 'The Arctic change is so serious that I hope an international agency can speedily be formed to study conditions on a global basis.' said Dr. Ahlmann. He pointed out that in 1910 the navigable season along the western Spitsbergen lasted three months. Now it lasts eight months.

 THE NORTH POLE.
Is it Getting Warmer. (From a Special Correspondent. By Air Mail.)
BUNDABERG, February 22.

Is it getting warmer at the North Pole? From soundings and meteorological tests taken by the Soviet explorers who returned this week to Murmansk, Russia's sole ice-free Arctic port, it was concluded that near Polar temperatures are on an average six degrees higher than those registered by Nansen 40 years ago. Ice measurements were on an average only 6½ feet against from 9¼ to 13 feet. The return of the Soviet icebreaker Sedoff brought to a close a Polar expedition, involuntarily undertaken which led to important discoveries. For 2½ years she had drifted while trapped in Polar ice. Fifteen men volunteered to stay on board the Sedoff until relief came. In the drift to the north-west these men passed nearer to the North Pole than any other ship. Their highest latitude registered was 86 degrees 56min. North.   They discovered by soundings a near Polar sea pocket, 17,260 feet deep. Such a pocket had hitherto been unsuspected in the Polar Sea.

 Greenland's Climate Becoming Milder

Is the Arctic climate becoming more temperate? Remarkable new information given by the famous Swedish authority, Professor H. W. Ahlmann in a lecture to the Swedish Geographical Society, suggests that this may be the case. Professor Ahlmann was speaking on the collated results of his expedition to north-east Greenland, and he stated that the glaciers there showed clear signs of a change towards a warmer climate. As had been observed in other parts of the Arctic, especially in Spitzbergen, the melting had increased rapidly. By far the largest number of local glaciers in north-east Greenland had receded very greatly during recent decades, and it would not be exaggerating to say that these glaciers were nearing a catastrophe.
