    do we have all the fact's on the beast? Can he be identified?

    I'm confused. What's the name of this forum again?

    Basic Evolution

    No, I was looking at everything. It just appears to me to be sexually driven. If you have a mutation: good, bad, or neutral, so look as you reproduce that will be passed on. Maybe a negative mutation makes you more attractive to the opposite sex. I'm struggling with the concept of "good"...

    Basic Evolution

    I realize I sound retarded, but I still don't see why. Take a population that is suseptible to a certain disease. It's dominant and lethal, but only shows up after they're old enough to produce. Why couldn't that population simply produce more offsping? Yes, they're going to die in larger...

    Basic Evolution

    Perhaps it was a bad exmaple. Why can't the finch with the longer beak survive with the smaller beaked finch? The finch with the smaller beak is able to get food, and the finch with the longer beak is able to obtain more (because it has a larger beak). Why must these finches with smaller beaks...

    Basic Evolution

    This may be a misconception on my point, but I've always understood survival of the fittest to mean that the smartest, fastest, strongest, etc. version of species survives and overcomes the dumber, slower, weaker, etc. version of its species. I don't understand why there seems to be such a focus...

    Literal Interpretations and Bats being Birds

    I think the question arises from the fact that you're using Bible passages as a defense for your chosen path to salvation: Accept Jesus as your lord and savior and don't commit blasphemy against the Holy Spirirt. Since it is the very validity of the Bible that is in question, one is hard...

    For evolutionists that were christians at one time.

    FYI, evolution is a theory because it's an explanation. Since it's not a mathematical equation, so it's not a law. It's not only one piece of information, so it's not a fact. Theories tie facts and laws together.

    Pascal's Wager-- for theistic evolutionists

    Pascals's wager is inherently flawed, and based of limiting one's freedoms and thoughts for fear of hellfire. I might as well tell you my God will punish you (if you don't worship him) for all eternity in far worse ways than you could possibly imagine, a place so horrible it couldn't even be...

    Has evolution done stopped?

    I hope you're not using Darwin's writings to argue against evolution. Things change over a century and a half. I suggest you read The Structure of Evolutionary Theory by Stephen Jay Gould.

    Morals and God

    I have to agree with Freodin. VM, you claim objective morals exist without proof. Examining the vast array of subjective morals through different societies throughout time, it's hard for me to see how anyone could claim that humans objectively agree on anything (ie-murder is "wrong")...
