    Neanderthal cave art and food collection

    Absract art and mollusc shells found in cave under the rock of Gibraltar seem to indicate complex behaviours among Neanderthals: 40,000-year-old sealed cavern gives new insight into Neanderthal life Early art seems to have links to brain structures and ritual practices to do with hunting and...

    Recent article by William Lane Craig suggests the historical Adam lived more than 750,000 years ago

    WLC embraces both sacred myth and some current scientific understandings to locate the historical Adam. Given the recent archaeological findings, Adam and Eve may plausibly be identified as belonging to the last common ancestor of Homo sapiens and Neanderthals, usually denominated Homo...

    Presupposition: mutation comes before adaptation - justified *how*?

    Hi there, So I guess I am assuming you are some kind of expert on "Evolution" and that if I question the integrity of the theory, you will as an agent with a mind, be able to pull the theory apart and examine the part of it, that I think could be improved upon? For example, the presupposition...

    I did it! I stopped thinking about Evolution, and started to think about God!

    Yes, I have struggled with how to answer Evolution, for a long time now: today, I actually got to the point where I stopped thinking about it - what it meant - and started to think about God, how He cares and loves me. The point is that you can do this as a rule - that's what is new, it's not...

    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...

    How liberal am I, actually? And, the evils of misogyny

    I am apparently considered a liberal, I have found out in the past 24 hours, in part for my Evolutionist interpretation of Genesis ch. 1 and in part because I reject the penal substitutionary atonement and satisfaction atonement of John Calvin and Anselm of Canterbury respectively, as well as...

    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...

    The Startling Accuracy Of Genesis

    I recently wrote in the course of replying to a thread a lengthy post reflecting on the startling accuracy of the first chapter of the Book of Genesis, which I feel I should preserve here for future reference. Introduction An honorable member argued correctly the Bible is not a science...

    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...

    Just a question: is it possible, to 'evolve' an oxymoron?

    Hi there, So you might wonder what this is about, basically I am just testing a train of thought: The point being, that the idea is that you can evolve, either what you know or how you know it - but not everything falls into these categories. For example, "oxymorons". The idea of a man animal...

    God is able: to warn us - of which Evolution, was next!

    Hi there, So this is where I stand! I have finally grasped, what my trust in God, specifically is: This is a lifelong thing, the Devil has no such power. It doesn't need a lot of discussion, I basically came to an agreement within myself, that I was going to stop trying to develop a greater...

    By faith, you are required to call something "evolved", even when you don't see *how*?

    Hi there, So I've been told many times that faith and science don't mix, but there is interpretation of science that science on its own can't understand: namely, The point being that the assumption certain "things" are evolved, limits what can actually (evolve). This is not to say that...

    Swapping out, that which does not match the "peak" - is more effective than Evolution

    Hi there, So I want to introduce a very simple concept: swapping out. Swapping out, is the idea that a single member of a species can develop an affinity, with exemplars in the species, such that when a child is born to it, that child will have some of the strengths of those exemplars. This can...

    Newer Man, is needed more than older lineage (ape or otherwise)

    Hi there, So the crux of this, is that you should take far lesser confidence in having come from anything, even if it seems more remarkable at first, that you did at all. What is needed is a newer you. This is hard, in and of itself. Even if you did come from apes, and it seemed even more...

    Scientific method: if I have the theory, I can't be startled - all I need is to test...

    ...is how startled I would have been? If the theory helps me discern how startled I am, from how startled I would have been: I can commit to being righteous, about how effective the startling I am is to others, who do not have the same angle, on the same truth (as they would have, if they had...

    The right selection pressure, and we would see "men" come from apes, *again*?

    Hi there, So this is not meant to make you feel uncomfortable, but: I mean the apes are just waiting, to be people, right? That's your contention?

    Re: God wants to waste my life - to Him I say "in Jesus' Name Amen"?

    Hi there, So I have struggled with Evolution, a lot and what I have come to realise, is that - as an Evolutionist - God is not interested in "saving" my life. God is interested in "wasting" my life. He wants me, to come to the end of myself, to understand that my faith without Him, is nothing -...

    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...

    Jesus knows your body temperature? Is that reason to believe - if knowing apes points to Evolution?

    Hi there, So there is a standard of evidence issue, here - right? We all want something to believe, or to discount something, whatever the case may be - doesn't holding a consistent standard of evidence, encourage a better result, than pinning it on chance? I mean if you could evolve Jesus...

    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...
