    If a particular individual evolves greatly, does social pressure normalize the greater evolution?

    Hi there, So I posted about a parasite evolving with the host of the parasite, and it dawned on me that maybe Evolution goes the other way: maybe a particular individual who evolves greatly, is more greatly copied by the population with him. In other words, there is a social pressure to...

    Unknowns, are better for science, than repetitions of what is assumed to be known (selah)

    Hi there, So there is a philosophical problem, with Scientism. That problem, is the value Scientism gives that which it starts out with. Science starts with unknowns. Scientism, takes those unknowns and equivocates that all unknowns have the same fundamental value. That value is antecedent...

    The more you change species, the harder it is to be optimistic about the species you are - Discuss?

    Hi there, So it really comes down to one gripe, with Evolution: that macro-Evolution does not have consequences. Setting aside that we do not see it, in nature, for a moment, let us consider agreeing with the spirit of what is being said - to see if we can learn from it. Now, there is...

    Help me with my signature

    I want to use my signature to ecumenically celebrate traditional liturgical churches. I was wondering if any of you who have Windows and Paint or better, and are graphically inclined, might help me continue my vexillogical theme. I would like a strip or quadrant of church flags, starting with...

    Why don't you adapt first, and mutate later?

    Hi there, So question is: Get me? The glass is half full after all!

    By "design", mutations offset to design, can be isolated (and eliminated)

    Hi there, So yes, I have worked out what the utility of design, is. If you have a definition of your "design", you are able to compare that "design", with mutations, whether you have enough strength to meet the pressure put on you by mutation. Where you cannot handle the pressure, the mutation...

    Nature need not be theorized, injuries do; Evolution is not solely predatorial

    Hi there, So this is an important qualification, that stems from the Lord's word that "those that are well, do not need a physician, but those who are sick" (gospels, from memory). Basically, the logic is this, nature does not need to be theorized, injuries do. You can't do anything about your...

    Crutches evolve, that doesn't mean they do so independent of the need to fit the individual?

    Hi there, So here is an example I hope explains why I look at life on Earth, the way that I do. It's not rare for something to evolve, because it's expected to, the real question is "what is enough?"; if you know what is enough, you can begin to focus on honing skills you already have...

    This is the kicker, you are assuming all mutations confer adaptation to the current Evolution?

    Hi there, So yes, I worked out that Evolution isn't happening again and again and that it can't be found everywhere, I worked out that mutation is biased to assume creation, and that warning from wayward mutations is being ignored: now I have a complaint that mutations may be delaying...

    If mutation consistently warns you, that you're *not* going to get an adaptation: you need to change

    Hi there, So just putting aside the presupposition that mutation "precedes" adaptation, you have to at least accept that mutation might lead to something negative - something not adaptation. You could get cancer, or lameness or any of the myriad other things that go wrong in the human body. The...

    What fulfils the function of "preservation" - within Evolutionary theory?

    Hi there, So the assumption is typically that "anything better than mutation, is worth preserving", but I have not yet seen the evidence that preservation has natural causes (something demanded by "science", no?). Moreover, it has not been demonstrated that "preservation" has a particular...

    So you get to Heaven, and there is still so much more you could 'evolve' - disappointed?

    Hi there, So this is basically the problem of the faith, when it comes to "Evolution" - that is, this is what people with faith object to, when they say "I would rather just be in Heaven (with God), than 'evolve' - that is, in a way that prevents me from being with God." What exactly is enough...

    If selection pressure waned and waxed, such that the species started again: what'd you do better?

    Hi there, So yes, simple question: The point being, you would have hindsight about the Evolutionary process, as applied to your population? Just looking for your thoughts on this, thanks. EDIT: In Christianity, we have a concept called "quickening", where if you know what to do and you agree...

    What about adapting too much for a given selection pressure? It's sickening?

    Hi there, So there is a chance that you are overdoing your Evolution, right? Like if you keep responding to a selection pressure, in more and more diverse ways - eventually you get trigger sick? "Trigger sick" would be evolving in ways that don't agree with a balance of some kind (moderation) -...

    If Jesus could be turned into an Elephant, He truly could be the elephant in the room?

    Hi there, So this is a crazy thought I had about Evolution. I am posting it here, because basically I hate getting mired with this sought of hyperbole: it's like the Holy Spirit says "you wanted to argue the point, make an argument, make a case". Only then the argument seems repetitive and the...

    Simple question: when selection pressure pressures, is selection pressure easier, or Evolution?

    Hi there, So the question is really basic, you might not get the subtlety of it (so hang in there with me): The point being, that there is a couple of targets for pressure, to be enacted by Evolution (either the selection pressure itself, or the Evolution as a whole). You need to be able to...

    This is what I don't get: you can transition into almost anything, till you are put straight back

    Hi there, So this is what I don't get: you can transition into almost anything, as a species, kind after kind after kind, and then due to selection pressures prevailing against you, you can be put straight back to the kind you were, but not less. How does that even make sense? I mean if I am...

    Christ grows more sensitive, to sin - not less!

    Hi there, So for all you backsliders out there, consider for a moment what you are really losing, when it comes to the Lord and sin. You are not surprising God, in turning from one sin to another and forgetting Him. There is no point at which God says "I have been mindful of sin, but now as the...

    Syncopating competing "evolutions", can't happen without "design"

    Hi there, So, simple truth: The idea is simply this: if you have differing members of a species, all intent on winning the same mate, that mate won't be able to bond with a particular member (of the species) without a) comparing her design with his, b) prompting his design with hers and c)...

    How Evolution Can Still Be Evidence of Design - video

    Hi all, I watched a discussion or rather listened to one as I was getting ready yesterday and this Gentlemen had two scientist on who were both I believe were both Christians. They discuss how Evolution can be evidence of design unlike the fundamentalist who says that Evolution can no be...
