evolution

Hello all , I am new here , I am science minded but also believe in a God . This thread does not concern itself with the sentient beings body that God created , it concerns itself with the evolution of humanity and the mind experience . I am considering that humanity is taught to infants...

A simple alternative to explaining the carbon-dating flaw is the fact that our Scientific knowledge of rock formation is limited to how they are formed now on their own; either igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic rocks, a slow process and build-up of rocks over time, from volcanos, sea beds...

The implications are staggering. A language model AI created proteins as good as ones honed over a million years of evolution. Salesforce’s ProGen designed sequences based on the “sentences” of biological proteins. Scientists are investigating whether the AI could identify treatment for...

Read the scriptures below and watch the video before responding. (Discussion only). Genesis 1 The Account of Creation 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.[a] 2 The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters. And the Spirit of God was hovering over...

For the mods reading though this mentions evolution I only use it as an example. This has to do with argumentation, not necessarily the topic of Creation. For everyone else please forgive my frequent hyperbole. A way in which the world & people operate and those with ignorant, misguided or...

In case anyone missed it, a lecture by John Walton on Adam and Eve. The video covers topics such as "who did Cain marry?" And "was Eve made of Adam's rib bone?".

Hi there, So this is the philosophical "glass half empty or glass half full" (see philosophy has its uses!): Ultimately greater humanoids could take over, or they could show us better? Where do you stand?

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...

between the years 4000BC and toughly 500BC, many cultures held a view that the sky was a solid structure, like a dome. that rested sbove the earth. this dome would hold the stars up against the force of gravity, before ancient cultures knew how far away the stars were. above the dome, the sky...

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...

Creationists on CF keep saying that evolution hasn’t been observed in controlled experiments. This is not entirely fair. There are whole areas of science, including astronomy, where controlled experiments are not feasible. What if the process of evolution can be seen in a controlled experiment...

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...

Right now the topic of "Christian Nationalism" is a hot topic...and part of that debate involves the topic of Transhumanism (since several of the movers and shakers in the Christian Nationalist movement are Christian Transhumanists...Peter Thiel and Blake Masters to name just a couple). If...

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"...

I found this nice lecture on the book of Genesis through the functional view of John Walton, I felt it was pretty enlightening regarding the Hebrew observed in the book of Genesis. It this talk, Walton reflects on Adam and Eve's mortality, he touches on the relationship between Genesis 1 and 2...

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...

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...

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...

Hi there, So, new concept: if there is Evolution that is good, there is Evolution that is best. Conclusion: if the best is varied, the best will be prolonged. Interpretation: there is better that can be evolved, until keeping what has already been evolved becomes more important. The point being...

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...
