Assuming Evolution is True......

Assuming that the Creationist in debate actually had a chance to see firsthand what Evolutionists say about scientific evidence.

Do the intelligent have disproportionate breeding success? Do they have more children than us blockheads?
If not, how's the trait going to increase in the general population?

So many lines to draw....so little space....

Saw an experiment of some trained chimps doing what we humans cannot do.
They really think differently and have cognitives we do not.

Split into different species?
I thought that was the Garden event of Genesis.
Some Godly intervention in play, of course.

Shall we include the outstanding savant?

Should we consider the highly intelligent, yet remorseless criminal?

Should we include spiritual life such as angels, and assume they know more?

Certainly not! -- we should sit them in front of computer monitors and test their hand-eye co-ordination. If they can't best the chimps, they're out.:D

We could end up in the same boat!

The study I saw placed chimps in front of a monitor.
A random pattern of numbers, one through ten, would be flashed.
The screen was touch sensitive, and by touching the monitor to relate where each item was....in numerical order....they get fed.

For the home audience the same set-up was flashed.
For the viewer at home, there would be no difference.

But the narrator did ask....
'How many numbers can you recall in order and location?'

Your typical human might recall as many as five.
Not likely eight....you would have to be unusual for ten.
 

Twilight Hue

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.

Already in the works. The less intelligent are manipulated to breed faster in order to increase manpower in the mines, while the intellectuals are selective breeders bearing fewer offspring, yet the ability to remain the ruling class is supported quite nicely by the larger population base of the intellectually inferior.

They had it all thunk out at the beginning.
