    How do you evolve, a "fact"?

    Hi there, So my immediate reaction to this idea, was that it's not possible to evolve a fact. I admit that. You can change the context in which it is viewed or how its interpreted, but that fact itself remains the same. I recognise that. Once I recognised that, I started to think: "maybe the...

    Do you feel that changes in your generation, are taking you back to being a monkey, or forward?

    Hi there, So this is something we can easily and lightly discuss, right? If the evidence was in a cocoon, you could tell, right? So what is it, now that the changes were in you already, as you say (it not being about individual, but the species)? Or has Evolution hit us dead on, in terms of...

    Evolution (or like) that is trained to respond to false positives, is a stronger Evolution (or like)

    Hi there, So indeed, there is a question here of whether Evoutionists are identifying anything new, now that they have a semblance of a theory - that is supposed to identify relevant change (wrong?)? In principle, any theory at all, benefits from responding to what are called "false positives"...

    If God likes me bit by bit, in the end I will be what He wanted me to be (yes)

    Hi there, So I have a substitute faith for Evolution: if God likes me bit by bit, in the end I will be what He wanted me to be. It's not complicated, it just suggests that the struggle to be Christian, comes with a commitment to the end. The world may say "you are what God wants you to be...

    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 chicken or the egg? Both.

    Hi there, So I have come to the conclusion, that what we understand as the beginning, rests on entering into a relationship. That relationship, under the right circumstances, leads to a stable interaction with the world - from the point of which, what is created in that beginning, can be...

    God is obliged, to help you evolve? On Earth, "no"; in Heaven, "yes" - Discuss.

    Hi there, So further to my discussion of the relevance of a host, to Evolution, I have started to wonder about God, specifically God helping creatures "evolve". Is God obliged to help creatures "evolve"? This question comes down to where it is that God offers the help. Jesus tells us "I do not...

    The flesh resonates with the flesh: "the truth!", the flesh resonates with the soul: "heresy!" - no?

    Hi there, So after much argument and contention, I finally realised what it is that I think is the problem with Evolution: its about the flesh resonating with the flesh. You are told, "the flesh grows and mutates and has to grow again, to become what it is" and you are expected to believe that...

    Maybe this will clarify: can I encourage my offspring's instinct for Evolution?

    Hi there, So this is simple one way but complicated another: my offspring's instinct for Evolution, ultimately consists of the conversion of my experience of it (for them). There are a number of stages at which I can guide my offspring, as regards what they believe about Evolution. First of...

    Why does God allow suffering? Bear in mind, those that don't need a perfect distraction, suffer less

    Hello, There are so many ways to answer that God does everything He can to avoid or abate suffering, that it can seem like no one has a definitive answer. However, we can start to understand that God is in the midst of suffering. For example, that God is able to distract us from suffering. The...

    Logic: if apes connected to humans, humans can "reconnect" to humans - what is the good of that?

    Hi there, So yes, a simple element of logic here: if apes connected to humans (genealogically), could humans not "reconnect" to other humans? I have said before that "the Evolution of a specific survival, is different from the optimum survival for that Evolution" this is merely an extension of...

    Variation of nuance (of Evolution?), ensures more survive. Discuss.

    Hi there, So this is straight up probability: a diversified nest egg, is less likely to suffer a loss. The same is true of Evolution: a variation of the nuance adapted, ensures the young will more likely live on. I'm wondering if you can see the connection. It's basically introducing the...

    Important interpretation? : does having been a monkey, help all future "evolutions" in a monkey way?

    Hi there, So this is a blank slate type question, I really don't know what your position is: You can see that the interpretation is open, at the moment: right? Like there is nothing to say that having been a monkey will help a human deal with monkey type selection pressures, even if they are...

    Help me understand this: "individuals, can't respond to population relative selection pressures"

    Hi there, So I just keep coming back to this obstacle of my understanding of Evolution: No matter how hard I try, I don't get it. Are you saying individuals need individual selection pressures (and collections of individuals need collections of 'like' selection pressures?)? Maybe I've run...

    Honest question: do parasites evolve, if their hosts do?

    Hi there, So this is all about niche, as far as I understand it: a host of a parasite represents a 'niche' that the parasite can adapt for - the question is, if the host evolves, does the parasite therefore have to evolve? Or have the opportunity to evolve? Clearly there are different...

    Curiosity: did you discover anything else, when you discovered "Evolution"? Or just that?

    Hi there, So I don't know what to make of this, in any immediate sense: did you discover anything else, when you discovered "Evolution"? Or just "Evolution"? I mean there is no sense, in saying "I discovered Evolution, just because", right? There must have been something about it, that appealed...

    On the nail: why is being human easier for you, than being a monkey is hard for me?

    Yes, hello, The premise is really simple, if you believe you are evolved, all you have to do is assume that you are the top of the food chain; but if I believe I am from a monkey and don't want to believe in Evolution, understanding how I became a monkey is almost impossible? There is a clear...

    So God says "there are some bad adaptations, and there are some good adaptations" - ready to listen?

    Hi there, So we are all born with instinct, this is nothing "new". But what we are not predisposed to is receiving instruction from God. If we have instruction we do not do it, and doing it we do not do it correctly. This is just the fallen state of the world - not that you necessarily call it...

    So I keep evolving perfectly, and all the feminine are attracted to me? Why?

    Hi there, So I just thought, you know what "what we have been avoiding, is what it means to evolve perfectly, by repeatedly returning to Jesus"? In concrete terms, does it mean that the feminine will be attracted to me? In the expectation that I will be able to lead them, into greater...

    Just to stretch your imagination: under the right conditions an insect, can become an animal?

    Hi there, So this is just to work out, what it is you are saying your strength is: apes can become men, but can insects become animals? I mean there is nothing to suggest that it would not be a similar evolution, right? As would be a broader development, of "evolutions"? You could...
