So you can't. Google provides no hits on 'high altruism'. I have to conclude you made it up.

End of story.
XD

"Google provides no hits on 'high altruism'" so you book an open top parade and declare victory ?

rather than being "end of story" it is in fact just the beginning.

Take it from there then. What is the definition of "high altrusim"?

Obvious how?

You used the term, are you willing to provide the definition you are personally utilizing, when you are using the term?
yes,
yes I am.

kind of strange the self-proclaimed illuminated ones are completely in the dark though isn't it ?

quite bizarre.

Have no ideal what the above is supposed to mean. Appears to be more muddying of the waters.

So, when can we expect to have you provide us, with the definition of this term you are using?

False, since Neanderthal had a larger brain than today's Humans. iOW, you cannot measure intelligence by the size of the brain in relation to body size or encephalization, since intelligence is invisible.
There is no reason to think that Neanderthals could not have had more learning potential than early humans did, and that their isolation, small group size, and lesser aggression, wasn't to blame for their extinction. Additionally, shape of skull as well as size helps to determine intelligence, as shape depicts which portions were larger and more developed. Hence why we can not only tell intelligence with skulls, but we won't be fooled just by large cranial capacity. If it were that uncertain, intelligence claims based on fossils would not exist.

God did it with Humans and the sons of God (prehistoric people). Gen 6:4 In this way God produced some 7 Billion living Humans in only 11k years. The False ToE, because godless men rejected God's Truth of the Flood, doesn't teach this, so it's assumptions that Apes changed into Humans is absolutely false.
Do the math, factor in death and disease, and there is no way ancient humans would result in 7 billion people in that short amount of time. Especially not with god killing and sanctioning the killing of so many.

Genetic changes don't produce increased intelligence in Humans. You MUST inherit Adam's increased intelligence in order to be a Human. He is the ONLY person made with this superior intelligence which is like God's. Gen 3:22 Otherwise, you remain an Ape.
To say humans have an intellect comparable to an omniscient being is pure hubris. Also, we see tons of examples of genetic changes making people less intelligent, and the heredity of intelligence is over 50% (it would be less than 10% if genes weren't a factor in intelligence). Plus, we have actively bred certain animals to be smarter, this isn't a baseless conclusion.


Apes are a kind and they evolve within their own kind. The ToE, because godless men rejected God's Truth of the Flood, doesn't know that Humans were NOT made on Planet Earth, but on Adam's Earth, which was completely and utterly destroyed in the Flood. ll Peter 3:6 The ToE falsely ASSUMES that all life evolved on planet Earth and thus, it's assumptions are totally False from the beginning. Humans came from another world and Adam's entire firmament rests today at the bottom of Lake Van, Turkey, in the mountains of Ararat. That is God's Literal Truth.
Then explain how chimpanzees and humans have the same blood types, or that we can receive tissue parts from pigs.

Human blood was contaminated because Noah's grandsons had NO other Humans to marry. They married the prehistoric people who had diverged from Chimps some 6 Million years ago and thus Human blood became mixed with the blood of people who evolved from the common ancestor of Apes, who were NOT Humans (descendants of Adam). Amen?
Why wouldn't god just make more people to prevent that from happening? Heck, such a being could easily make more people and prevent such horrific genetic issues.

Yes please.

Could you point out which dictionary, since the results from Dictionary.com are:

You used the term, are you willing to provide the definition you are personally utilizing, when you are using the term?
High altruism = benefitting a person at one's own expense.

Low altrusim = benefitting a person at his own expense.

Example of high altruism:

Joe: I owe Bob $50 and can't pay it.
Tom: Here's $50. Merry Christmas!

Example of low altruism:

Joe: I owe Bob $50 and can't pay it.
Tom: I'll talk to Bob and see if he is willing to let you set up payments.

I see, altruism and not altruism.

In other words, making things up.

Hence why we can not only tell intelligence with skulls, but we won't be fooled just by large cranial capacity. If it were that uncertain, intelligence claims based on fossils would not exist.

If Neanderthal was human, he NEVER demonstrated it and neither did the prehistoric people (sons of God) who had been here for Millions of years before Noah arrived, bringing the unique superior intelligence of Adam, which was like God's. Gen 3:22 Here's the historic evidence of the arrival of the FIRST Humans in the mountains of Ararat and valleys of Northern Mesopotamia which is also called the Cradle of Human Civilization on this Earth. http://www.fsmitha.com/h1/map00-fc.html

***Do the math, factor in death and disease, and there is no way ancient humans would result in 7 billion people in that short amount of time. Especially not with god killing and sanctioning the killing of so many.

There were some 1 million sons of God (prehistoric people) alive 11k years ago. Did you forget to factor in the participation of them? Add them, and what is observed Today can be realized and that is in only 11k years God has produced 7 Billion thinking reasoning descendants of Adam (Humans) on a Planet where the prehistoric people evolved from the common ancestor of Apes Millions of years BEFORE the Ark arrived.


***To say humans have an intellect comparable to an omniscient being is pure hubris. Also, we see tons of examples of genetic changes making people less intelligent, and the heredity of intelligence is over 50% (it would be less than 10% if genes weren't a factor in intelligence). Plus, we have actively bred certain animals to be smarter, this isn't a baseless conclusion.

Since I support my views with the best and only evidence available, here is the reason for my conclusion:

Adam lived with Jesus for some 14+ Billion years, since he was made from the dust on the 3rd Day Gen 2:4-7 BEFORE plants, herbs, rain, and Trees which GREW on the 3rd Day. Gen 1:12 That means that Adam was made BEFORE the first Stars put forth their light on the 4th Day. Gen 1:16

Since Adam was made BEFORE the first Stars of our Cosmos, can you tell us How long he lived since he did not die until the present 6th Day?

***Then explain how chimpanzees and humans have the same blood types, or that we can receive tissue parts from pigs.

Sure. EVERY living creature that moves was created from the WATER on the 5th Day which was some 3.77 Billion years ago, in man's time. Prehistoric people moved but they did NOT have the superior intelligence of Adam, whose intelligence was like God's, Gen 3:22 but like EVERY other creature except Humans, they are related to the first life created in the water on the 5th Day. Gen 1:21 Noah's grandsons, with NO other Humans to marry, married and produced today's 7 Billion Humans (descendants of Adam) with the prehistoric people who were already here when the Ark arrived. Gen 6:4

***Why wouldn't god just make more people to prevent that from happening? Heck, such a being could easily make more people and prevent such horrific genetic issues.

Because God KNOWS how to allow a maximum number of people to have the free choice to believe in Jesus so they will wind up in Heaven, and we are just about there. There will be 10 Billion living Humans soon. Amen?

I meant for those who are confused to look up the word "high",
and then place the relevant definition in front of altruism,

all very elementary stuff.

if I were to keep it simple (which is probably a good idea) the definition of high altruism is altruism that is beyond the observed norm (eg reciprocal altruism).

I'm sure the usual suspects will suddenly become experts on the subject

yeah,
because "evasive flannel" would just be in poor taste.
you have had the definition that completely stumped the self appointed gate keepers for days,

care to reply on subject,
or is it just more lashings of "evasive flannel"

The term 'high altruism' was made up by you.
