Evolution is a Fact

[Aberinkula]

Yes evolution is a fact, unless you have the misfortune of being home tutored in quite a few homes in the US, it then becomes the devils invention, the enemy of God and the Bible and the most evil tool of those God denying child eating racists called Atheists.

Well, it's a fact either way. Evolution is occurring whether you believe in it or not. We don't live in a consensual reality, where facts are determined by what the majority believes. You could deny gravity all the way down, but when you hit, it doesn't much matter what you believe.

Warping a childs mind should be made a felony in the US but it would seem even presidents have actively encouraged it, I think it's called 'the American way'.

It's a right to remain ignorant, as it should be.

I can't believe AV is still insisting that Angels are biological. They are purely spiritual beings. There is no reason for them to have a place on the phylogenetic tree.

Nah. They're purely imaginative beings.

Where does love come from?

Where does love come from?

Physically? It is hormonal interactions and neurons firing in your central nervous system.

Pretty much.

Where does it originate from?

Social bonds becoming stronger as humanity evolved. The stronger your attachment to someone was, the less likely you are to let a smilodon eat them, especially if they were carrying your young.

We are molecules of emotion my friend, molecules of emotion.

I have a hard time understanding the difference.

I have a hard time understanding the difference.

Heh, I'm sure if there is one, it's only slight.

You are going to have to actually post in some sort of context.

If we're nothing more than glorified apes, motivated by chemical reactions, why is it considered "wrong" when someone goes feral?

Did our parents tame us?

Because we exist in large sociological constructs known as "Societies", and I imagine your definition of "feral" includes murder and other acts that negatively impact the society. Therefore, the dominant member of the people group assumes control, and enforces order on the society in order to keep relative strangers from killing each other. This artificially maintained and stabilized people group has a greater capacity for food production.

Did our parents tame us?

Yes, basically.

We are molecules of emotion my friend, molecules of emotion.

Really, is that your theory or do you have something else you base that statement on?

Are you suggesting you get emotional molecules and non emotional ones?

If your theory is correct and humans evolved to this point, then why are there humans who does not have love? (not lust)

 

[AV1611VET]

Because we exist in large sociological constructs known as "Societies"...

Then the larger the group, the more potential for an animal going feral, correct?

And if an animal is just doing what it does naturally --- what's the problem?

@Hawk007

It would be my hypothesis that humans have a multi-dimensional normally-distributed (gaussian) probability density function (pdf).

That is, we don't expect everyone to be the same but somewhat clustered around the mean.

Those out at the tails are either saints (of a sort) or psychopaths. They are also necessarily (by definition) rare.

 

[Tinker Grey]

Doesn't follow. The shape of the pdf might change -- and hence the definition of "feral" would change.

And if an animal is just doing what it does naturally --- what's the problem?

It is natural for social animals to cooperate with society. Hence, going "feral" is not natural, per se.

 

[Hawk007]

Pretty much.

Social bonds becoming stronger as humanity evolved. The stronger your attachment to someone was, the less likely you are to let a smilodon eat them, especially if they were carrying your young.

You are suggesting the mother's love for her young, the caring part....granted. But lets have a look before animals evolved, it must have been some very weird organisms, they probably did not have certain sexes, so when after that did love evolve?

Why does animals not have humor, Appreciation of beauty, Self-consciousness, Awareness of death, Understanding time, Meaning of life, Malleability, Lack of harmony with nature(pollution, etc.), A sense of morality, build Character, Free moral agency, Capacity for wisdom, Desire for worship.......?

If we are the product of evolution there must be a type of living creature that must be close to us.....they too is living in societies, but have been living like their forefathers.......

Don't know if you read much, but should should check out "Molecules of Emotion" by Candace Peart, Ph.D. She does a great job of explaining why we feel the way we do.
