    Weasel Words

    I saw a video by a ministry called Way of the Master, and I can say they are purposely misleading cause they use a quote from Darwin about how absurd the evolution of the eye sounds, but then in the sentence immediately following Darwin states how it makes sense. For most people, I think it is...

    Weasel Words

    I see lots of debates on this forum with weasel words. Kind of like a straw man with words, using specific words to demean the opposition. Life coming from nowhere, or the big bang is an explosion, evolution involves random processes, and so on. I would like to see a debate without the use...

    human evolution

    What we have learned through science doesn't imply what we should do with science. Our knowledge of strong and weak forces, doesn't mean we should use it to make nuclear weapons to bomb people.

    Short Story Meant To Convey A Couple Points

    Ah but it does get into the metaphysical question about how there is something. The universe just is. There is also something else, that just is, that allows the universe to be. I think the story said the laws that dictate the universe just are. Whether it be god or something else, it simply...

    Atheism, Rival Conception of God.

    What is too simple? 1+1=2 is too simple for me but it is fact. There is meaning in the universe when an evolved species differentiates itself from the environment. We create our own meanings. We don't have eyes to see infra-red, but we know about it cause through reason we open our eyes...

    Short Story Meant To Convey A Couple Points

    So critique me, say what you got out of it, yada yada:P This was truly the most peculiar thing to ever happen to me. In a matter of seconds, my memory and brain was instantly mapped with a lifetime of memories. In a sense, I was outside of time and space. Said I to god, in our...

    Catastrophism vs. Uniformitarianism

    Yes. Uniformitarianism doesn't imply only one rate of change. Earthquakes happen as a result of plates slipping. Some animals evolve faster than others. But a worldwide catastrophic event didn't split up Pangea. Each animal wasn't instantly created, and has slow process of change. The...

    Catastrophism vs. Uniformitarianism

    By accepting that life adapts, you inadvertently accept evolution. Evolution is simply the change in gene frequencies in a population over time. This can be on the cellular level or among organisms. What I'm guessing you have issues with is Common Descent or speciation. But this is what I...

    The Problem With Calling Things Designed.

    Like someone said, it's circular. Calling things complex allows for evolution or creation to debate on even ground, rather than giving creation an edge by calling things designed. Just as evolutionists shouldn't use random for an edge and especially because evolution is not a random process...

    Simple Idea That Should End The Debate

    "Just as Einstein scientifically expanded on and explained more than Newton's theories, so shall whatever defeats evolution" - Kahalachan Would anyone remember Einstein if he poked holes in Newton's ideas of gravity? Where would we be if he didn't work hard to scientifically formulate better...

    The Problem With Calling Things Designed.

    People tend to call things designed or created. If we say the universe is designed, naturally, we can assume a designer. But are we using the right words, such as design or creation? Design implies taking parts and making a different whole out of those parts. We find materials and ways to...

    belief in evolution part 3

    It's not a direct result of evolution cause there are social and cognitive processes involved in a religious belief as well. Maybe one would be more prone to a religious belief cause of evolution.

    If creationism is illogical why are we fighting it with logic?

    I would rather use logic against illogic, than stoop to their level.

    Evolution is not science, it's supposition.

    Evolution is a science and has been proven. Up to the Creationist to say why certain alleles can't change frequency.

    Abortion Evolution connection?

    I am pro-choice before the brain is significantly developed and pro-life afterwards.

    Laws Are Subject To Change As Well, Right?

    Energy of a photon = frequency of light x's Plank's constant is one.

    Challenge To Evolution

    This is a challenge for SETI or astronomy. Not really an evolution challenge. Evolution has met its challenge already and stood strong.

    Wasp-like bee found

    Define kind. Anyone can cop out and say "Oh this fossil is the same kind as an animal we have today" What phylogenic features distinguish between kinds?
