Creation & EvolutionForum for the discussion of this important topic. This forum is open to non-believers. There is a Christians-only forum in the Christians-only section too.
You dont need to show your symptoms in this thread. We didnt ask for it. All we asked was to tell what evolved, desire for orgasm or orgasm itself.
Look, everyone who has entered this thread has given an answer. So why don't you take the initiative and READ their responses. It's not hard. Take it one word at a time. Is that too much to ask? Is it too much for you to take into account what the other debaters say in a debate forum?
Or are you just gonna sit there and keep saying things "Well, the evolutionists are just banging their heads against their computer monitors right now cuz they can't seem to answer the question." If you were half as witty as you think you are you would realize there's more information regarding the question asked in the OP than you can shake a stick at. All at your fingertips.
Look at this thread. It's 26 pages long. Lots of really smart people have given lots of really informative posts. They've all taken time out of their lives to help answer the question which was originally posted by Colossians. But it's all wasted, apparently. For all the pages, for all the time, for all the responses, you haven't even tried to learn a damn thing. I doubt you've even read a single sincere response.
So either grow up and actually start confronting what other people say instead of ignoring it, or just be on your way, little boy.
***Edited cuz the OP was made by Colossians, not Intrepid.

The following posts seriously answer the question asked in the OP, or at least have provided insightful information pertaining to the topic:
4, 5, 6, 15, 23, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 35, 36, 37.
And those are only from the first 5 pages.
I suggest, Intrepid and Colosians, that before you make yet another post saying something to the effect of “The evolutionists can’t come up with an answer”, you read them, since it's obvious you have yet to do so.

Nice ad hom. Your question has been answered numerous times in this thread, Mr. Studly.

Guess you guys skipped post number 244 and 245. But thats ok. You can read them now.

I did. Wasn't impressed. Not much feedback of any substance there. Mostly responses of a personal nature, not pertaining to the topic at hand. Most of the responses that do have to do with the topic don't contain any volume of evidence for Colossians case. Lots and lots of strawmen about what desire is, about what evolution is, and even about what orgasm is. I wish Colossians would come back and give a clear and concise answer on exactly what it is he wants to know. Because based on these two posts, I really have no idea what the heck state of mind he is in.

I am now exiting this thread.
It was designed to show forth the circular reasoning of the evolutionist. Such has been achieved, and also again high-lighted in my last 2 lengthy posts (I believe 244, 245).
The evolutionists have not, in over 25 pages, answered the question.
They have only begged it.

Desire do not evolve. Desire developed AFTER orgasm evolved. Mutations don't come from anything. Mutations are spontaneous.

Then they cannot evolve conscience, and you defeat yourself.
[/quoute]
What are you talking about? If conscience means intelligence, then conscience did evolve because it was an evolutionary advantage. The organisms that evolved intelligence has no knowledge that intelligence would be evolutionary advantageous. You are asking a strawman question.

It wasn't realised it was found either. It just became. Mutations occur spontaneously.
Understand?

Already answered that. Orgasm was a beneficial mutation. Mutations occur spontaneously. Desire for orgasm came after orgasm.

You have said nothing. As usual.
And you've just answered your own question. No orgasm = no desire. Orgasm came first. Orgasm developed spontaneously.

Your logic, you mean? Your logic is flawed.

This thread has shown nothing but your ignorance.

We've answered your questions, it's just you failed to understand the answers.

Or maybe the corollary question is better for you: “why would waiting around for a while to see what popped out, be desireable to a God for whom time does not exist?”
