When I first read this question I think it said "result in some humans evolving pointer fingers" so of course I thought no

lesser dexterity. Again, just because people so something doesn't make a change; it's the tiny natural things that make evolution work. Another example, if people started using their feet to do everything, we would probably begin seeing more children born who can use their feet for everyday tasks,

Evolution isn't about how much someone/something does or doesn't do something; it's all about the ones that actually can. For instance, people with naturally good dexterity will likely breed people with naturally good dexterity. In the same sense, people with shaky hands will often have kids with

For that logic to work fat fingered people would have to die and pointier fingered peeps survive?????? Lol

No relation to reproducing, eh? What if the guy is unable to text the girl and/or the message turns out wrong due to his chubby fingers? She gets angry and leaves him.

How would natural selection work against those of us who have fatter fingers? Mumbai question!

Lol... Not unless women become more attracted to pointier fingers. If you are ever going to bring up evolution or have an opinion about it you should learn what is it at least.

No, because one's finger size has no real bearing on their reproduction rate (thus their ability to propagate their physical traits on down to subsequent generations).

We will all be cross-eyed too. From centering our focus for long periods of time. And sitting to close to the tv can cause blindness

Sure. Just like our fingers have evolved into forks on one side, knives on the, with a spoon and pencil thrown in there somewhere! You know. Evolution!

because people selectively breed based on the precision of text. 22% of democrats need to learn science and the rest of the population need to stop being completely ignorant.

Just like what was predicted fifteen years before now. And fifteen before that... I always see population and technology as the thing that is about to explode and transform the world into something foreign. Probably not. It will be this but slightly better.

We've come to a point where we have stopped natural selection for the most part. We keep everyone alive, including those not viable and those who would have killed themselves through stupidity years ago.

and their reaction will be similar to what ours is when we heard about primitive people who thought the earth was flat, but your case is worse because you actually have the evidence at your fingertips but religion is blinding you.

tectonics, gravity, magnetism, the moon's influence on the tides, etc. Google it, but more importantly learn more about science in general. Technically NOTHING can be proven except mathematical proofs. One day someone may read what you said

You need to walk up to whoever taught you that and punch them in the face for purposely misinforming you to push their personal agenda. Creationism's "evidence" is the bible (not actually evidence); evolution's evidence is MASSIVE, like the theory of heliocentrism, plate

Actually evolution is proven. Parts of the evolutionary chain are still a mystery but you can't dismiss that it happens because of that. By the way evolution does not rule out the possibility of intelligent design by God.

Assuming pointy fingers did offer some kind of genetic benefit, technology evolves WAY faster than humans. It's the keyboards that will keep improving to accommodate how we are now.

Can't be proven scientifically the same as creation can't. They are both beliefs how the universe came int existence. Therefore it's a religious issue and not science.

Evolution is not science. Evolution can't be proven scientifically the same as creation can't they are both beliefs how the universe came into existence.

...Evolution is a result of superior genes being passed on. aka, duller finger people are dying because they are not as adept at surviving. NOPE.

If you understand evolution at all, you know a mutation has to increase your chances of breeding. Fidling on your phone does not increase your chances of breeding. Unfortunately for all of us ooohohohohoho
