    Question for a knowledgeable evolutionist

    Because we then wouldnt be talking about evolution. Pre-determined genetic changes over time is another form of creationism (but a more valid one I might add). You have heard of a fellow called Charles Darwin - right? Well he was responsible for formalising the theory.. he was convinced that...

    Why my Mormon workmate doesnt believe in Evo.

    No, but it does imply we were created(/developed) in a similar fashion. I would be more closely related to my offsping than any dog, so no. So we are simply more sophisticated versions of animals are we? But only socially and culturally.. A head, a torso, two legs, two arms, two eyes, a...

    Why my Mormon workmate doesnt believe in Evo.

    Do you know which one of the seven deadly sins applies to you? :) Seriously though, what makes you think this? Both humans and animals go through pretty much the same fundamental experiences.. pain, loss, love, joy.. etc... Additionally, do you also deny all of biology? Im not talking about...

    Why my Mormon workmate doesnt believe in Evo.

    Ah! Most interesting. I hadnt looked at it like that... :)

    Why my Mormon workmate doesnt believe in Evo.

    Im guessing that he thinks if we evolved from animals that makes us no more special than the animals. I think its plain arrogance. The same mentality behind how we used to believe the earth was the centre of the universe and the sun and everything else orbited the earth.

    Why my Mormon workmate doesnt believe in Evo.

    Ive seen a lot of reasons why people dont accept evolution. Most of them are flawed in one way or another.. But heres one I havent seen mentioned here.. My work college doesnt believe in Evolution - and hence that Humans and Apes descended from a common ancestor. His response was that such a...

    Why don't you accept the evolution theory?

    Im glad that you understand that initial life developing is not a part of evolution - but an assumed premis. Although, Religious evolutionists would point out that evolution could just as well be based on the premis that the first simple life organism was created by god. I know you understand...

    1,000,000,000/1 Against Evolution !

    Sigh. Please, go and do some careful reading. In other words - educate yourself! Atheism = lack of belief in god. Buddists believe in reincarnation and have a spiritual understanding of the world, but they do not believe in a god as with monotheistic religions. Therefore.. Also, please...

    Sigur Ros

    I am totally hooked on this band after discovering them this week. This is quite simply the most amazing music I have ever heard. Im gonna just copy an email that I sent to a few people whom I thought would enjoy it too. 1. Because im lazy. 2. Because it provides useful links. 3. So I can get...

    Why don't you accept the evolution theory?

    Science and Religion make different claims though. It is GROSSLY unfair to treat them the same in this manner. Religion claims it knows the answers. No doubts or questions. It is correct and always has been. Therefore past inconsistencies smear this stance. Science on the other hand claims it...

    Question for a knowledgeable evolutionist

    I think your understanding of evolution is somewhat skewed. As someone said, the majority of mutations are neutral. Yes, only a small number of mutations actually result in the evolution of the species - but I would urge you to stop thinking of mutations in terms of 'good' and 'bad' mutations...

    Question for a knowledgeable evolutionist

    If youre going to make comments like that I suggest you list ALL the holes you think evolution has.. it has no flaws as far as I am aware.. This is the old 'whats the use of a bird with half a wing' argument. The problem is youre approaching the problem sideways. Wings dont just develop...

    Archbishop: stop teaching creationism

    If your statement is worded correctly (sorry i didnt pay much attention to news story), then I actually.. disagree with it! Woah yeah.. I know.. im an advocate of evolution and all... Creationism should definitely be taught in school. Just not in science class. It isnt a science. It...

    Cartoons Under Fire

    These so called 'decent Muslims' who apparently exist simply dont do enough to stop their violent brethren. No other religion in the world currently displays the sheer violence and extremism that Muslims do. I have lost the last iota of respect that I might have had for Muslims after these...

    _--_-Ultimate purpose -__-_--

    This is i think what you were getting at in the beginning of this thread. To any answer.. we can say 'why?' ad infinitum. This makes the whole process of finding purpose in existance essentially pointless. There can be no purpose or purpose must have a purpose, which must have a purpose...

    I must admit that I don't know

    Very well put. An aetheist has to essentially accept that life is some kindof free ride. An experience not to be wasted on misery and depression, but a fortunate opportunity to exist and live... if for only a time. The reality we face of oblivion when we die (unless you believe in...

    Root of All Evil - UK Television

    Yep. :) Yes I suppose I can agree with that to an extent. He states quite bluntly how he sees religion.. doesnt pull and punches and isnt the type of person who is open to the 'possibility' of there being a god. Im not he could be called ignorant of alternative ideas... he is after all...

    Why do (some) Theists not bother to *really* understand evolution?

    Perhaps - but did he misquote the bible at all? He certainly interprets it differently... but that is different. A Theist may listen to an evolutionist accept his views and explanations and still come to the conclusion (or interpretation if you will) that it is incorrect. That Id have...

    Why do (some) Theists not bother to *really* understand evolution?

    I think what Dawkins said was that 45% of people in America believe 'the earth is less than 10,000 years old'.
