    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...

    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...

    Proving that Links Exist

    Without all the flaming this time: @FutureAndAHope Tiktaalik is a great one. Flat head with eyes on top (for peeking above the surface of water like a crocodile), robust rib cage and pectoral girdle to work against the weight of gravity above water, wrist bones, spiracles for breathing air, a...

    Wait. So you're saying if a selection pressure is greater than the Devil, the Devil will evolve?

    Hi there, So this is bordering on untestable conjecture, but I thought it might be helpful, just as an exercise (sort of like philosophy has "thought experiments", they're not strictly science but they are helpful). You see, the current design of "Evolution" supposes that everything is...

    Wait. So if I asked you, to have children, in the name of "my" Evolution - you couldn't do it?

    Hi there, So, this is just a simple fact about receiving: if you ask, you receive. So, if I ask you to have children in the name of "my" Evolution - you have to at least give me an answer why not? I mean, you would raise them and they would call you 'parent', but the exact meaning of that word...

    Promise me, that if Evolution doesn't work out, you will come back to considering "Creation"?

    Hi there, So just a thought for what our priorities, are, here. You have decided one way or the other, to give Evolution a try... you have decided that the weight of evidence favours species that change over time, one can only assume in a way that is deistic, if it is to prove better than the...

    Let's see: if Evolutional potential for a place was used up, you would gamble with mutation?

    Hi there, So the hypothetical here is: the potential for Evolution being used up - as in all resources for Evolution being taken up - you would gamble with mutation, to motivate a change in locale? The luck you got from the gamble (with mutation) would be your best bet? Like you don't even...

    Evolutionists: no idea is so good, that it can't be messed up in practice (receive?)

    Hi there, So this simple truth was on television, and I thought it was quite apt: What are you doing about that, in the context of Evolution? I thought about it for a moment, and imagined one of you saying "that's what we mean by mutation: when something mutates, it is getting messed up", but...

    Compounding adapations creates more flourishing, than diversifying adaptations, in the end

    Hi there, So this is what I have come to understand, in thinking about Creation and how it leads to survival: compounding adaptations creates more flourishing, than diversifying adaptations, in the end. This means that it is not up for competition, to eliminate lesser survivors, for being less...

    I am tempted to argue, that Evolution was true, other species would respond to the same selection?

    Hi there, So I am tempted to argue, that if Evolution was true, other species would respond to at least part of the selection pressure that Mankind responded to? Like we would see more species, becoming upright? Meer cats are one example, of a species becoming like humans, its just that they...

    Should I try to get from Evolutionists, what happened to "Evolution", at the tower of Babel?

    Hi there, So this is a linguistic question, and I am not sure if you think it will be productive to argue the point with Evolutionists. The question is - even if Evolution had not been discovered - what happened to the chance that Evolution would be discovered and used, at the tower of Babel? I...

    If "Caterpillar -> Cocoon -> Butterfly" evolves, why does "Butterfly -> Cocoon -> Butterfly" not?

    Hi there, So yes, a simple question in some ways: if "Caterpillar -> Cocoon -> Butterfly" evolves, why does "Butterfly -> Cocoon -> Butterfly" not evolve also? What selection pressure is there, for the former, but not for more of the same? If the evolution was guided by a selection pressure...

    Evolutionists: you should be pushing a humanist agenda, but you are not? You gave up on humanity?

    Hello there, So this is the observation: "Evolution is about humans" therefore 'Evolution could be about humans'? Why not? There is something to be said, for exhausting the potential of a given form, without simply waiting for the next one: it means more survival, not less - on the assumption...

    More and more convoluted, more and more Evolution: surely not!

    Hi there, So yes, it is Sunday and I am just looking at this as simply as I can. I tried to work out what Evolutionists would see in Jesus and it seemed to just drag and drag out. I am not sure if that is a sign of something or not. So now I am looking at it, without any real preconceptions and...

    If you routinely removed all written theory - about 'Evolution' - from culture, it would reappear?

    Hi there, So this is quite an obscure question, really, but there is something really disturbing about 'Evolution' as a theory. Actually there are a number of things that are disturbing, but the picture that has developed for me, has started to point in one particular direction: that Evolution...

    Did Creation evolve, as an adaptation of adaptations?

    Hi there, So I had this simple insight (which I wanted to share with the Physical and Life Science forum, but moreso you - the believers - first) that evolution can explain "Creation". Creation, if you will, is the use of design, to differentiate the predicted but alternative "Evolutions", so...

    Christianity has all manner of kinds - is that Evolution's goal also?

    Hi there, This is basically an "if not, why?" sort of thread. The point is, Christianity differentiates different themes of different kinds, so as to try to capture as much nuance of faith in Jesus' words, as possible. This is clearly a deeply rooted and successful strategy in disseminating...

    Not that "before Evolution: you must become a fish", but Jesus never said "before man, be ape"

    Hi there, So there are two directions this thread is going to take: one, is that you can believe what you want; two, you can distinguish what you believe from the world. The first point, pertains to the idea that I am not asking you to be something you are not: you are a man and I understand...
