    Crevo café (10)

    Yeah, that actress is part of the BSG cast. But it took me a couple episodes to figure that out, she looks surprisingly different with blonde hair.

    Yeah, I suppose. I was missing BSG.

    If we evolved, why do we procreate?

    Sorry, I blacked out halfway through the OP. If I get the jist of it right, it's something along the lines of "evolution doesn't meet my philosophical expectations/emotional desires, therefore evolution is wrong", correct?

    Luck

    Sort of. The development of technology has no doubt hampered the ability of natural selection in humans, because humans can much more quickly use technology to meet needs rather than waiting for a needed genetic change, but humans can and do still adapt to the ever-changing environment, most...

    The REAL distance from SUN to EARTH - revealed worldwide first by Matt Marriott

    Spoiler: the distance is 1.00 ± 0.02 AU ≈ 149,597,870 km ≈ 92,955,807 miles And now let's hear Matt Marriott's breakthrough answer and the methodology involved.

    The REAL distance from SUN to EARTH - revealed worldwide first by Matt Marriott

    Double negative. So are you saying that there are doubts that the Earth orbits the sun? After the controversy is over, and the whole affair is eventually seen as embarrassing, in order to save face, it's rationalized as a hoax and an attack on the Bible. Do you think creationism will be seen...

    Evolution questions for the science people

    Yes. A scientific theory, no matter how well supported, never becomes anything other than a scientific theory. Germ theory is another good example of that. You can look in a microscope and see bacteria affect human cells in a way that would cause disease in a human but germ theory is still...

    Evolution questions for the science people

    Well, actually lots of beneficial mutations have been detected. Don't know if you'd consider them "macro" or even what you mean by the term. There are quite a few observed instances of speciation.

    Evolution questions for the science people

    Laws refer to mathematical relationships regarding matter or a generalization of the physical behavior of matter. Since you brought up Netwon, F=ma is a good example of a scientific law. On the other hand, a scientific theory acts as a model, it makes generalizations about observations and...

    Survival is a conscious choice, but if I have evolved why don't I remember it?

    Nope, though that's undoubtedly a great benefit today in terms of survival. A great sense of smell makes for great scavenging and decent hunting in a group. Big brains like ours aren't needed for that. But for a group of hominids with a free set of hands, the benefit is tremendous.

    interesting YECist epistemological claim

    It's the concept of regeneration, stripped from its theological moors and applied to education in general. (It's rare to see a crevo argument that didn't first appear in an apologetics context) Scientists have to be wrong, because they don't seem "transformed" by their education. Now apply...

    interesting YECist epistemological claim

    If it doesn't humor one's pre-existing beliefs, it's Satan.

    Evolution 101: From the basics

    It doesn't, in the same way that chemistry and mathematics neither deny nor affirm the existence of a deity. The methodology of science is methodological naturalism (not to be confused with metaphysical naturalism, the view that supernatural beings do not exist) That would be called theistic...

    if once like you was X but now i am Y.

    Interesting link. "Essentially, an oppositional binary is constructed by the speaker. The listener is expected to accept the moral dichotomy presented by the speaker and move to the moral/good side of the binary." That sounds so familiar....
