    Another thought experiment: if the need to survive (tnts) becomes the need to anything (tntx)...

    Hi there, So yeah I am a little unsure, what exactly I am taking for foundation, here, but I want to experiment in some way - that makes the nature of selection pressure, clearer (if not complete)? The point of the experiment, is to see if changing perceived selection pressures, is something...

    If Darwin created "Evolution" *again*, all he would do is change the name (to begin with)?

    Hi there, So, for whatever reason, people don't like anything new, to Evolution - but I don't think that that would be the approach that Charles Darwin would have taken. I suggested there is negative 'Evolution' for example, and no one seems to be able to understand, that what you give can also...

    Let's see: if a species is drugged, drugged Evolu; but one of a species is drugged, no drugged Evolu

    Hi there, So this is basically a thought experiment: If a species is drugged, its Evolution is affected - and drugged Evolution results But... if a member of the species is drugged, its Evolution is not affected - and no drugged Evolution results How do I reconcile these two facts, without...

    Every mutation is intercepted, for the life of a particular creature: maximum survival?

    Hi there, EDIT (FROM END): So let me know what you think: the subject is basically "a life of mutation and a life of freedom from mutation, how do you think they compare?". EDIT (FIRST CUT): So yes, first let me disclaim: I don't understand species as being any different from individuals, I...

    New Earth Creationism: Using Time Dilation to Reconcile the Biblical and Observed Timescales

    So I am brand new to the forum and I specifically joined so I could test this idea I have been developing for the past year. If I am way off base or if what I am saying sounds ridiculous, please let me know, but I think I may have an answer to why the time scales observable science and the bible...

    If "Evolving", is adding to your most needed adaptations; eliminating one of your least needed is?

    Hi there, So simple question, really: The point being, you cannot simply be adapted for every possible eventuation - in principle, you need to start giving up adaptations, that are not suited to the entrance into a new paradigm? I guess, I finally worked out, what the choice, to Evolution...

    I feel cheap; like I don't love enough - to justify something I don't understand

    Hi there, So my life has gone round the bender, trying to reconcile myself, with Evolution. It got to the point, where I was saying "Lord I will adapt, what you want me to adapt; I will do it, for those you want me to do it for; I will point to You" and it sort of seemed to make sense: I was no...

    If the only thing that changes over your lifetime, is an interpretation of God: what "Evolves"?

    Hi there, So, a simple question for you: if the only thing that you change over your lifetime, is your interpretation of God (let's say "one change"): what "Evolves"? What happens to my allele frequencies? Do they agree or disagree? The point being, it is objectively: one change. Not a series...

    Someone has a post-Evolutional adaptation - do you still query their Evolution?

    Hi there, So, a simple question, really: Someone has a post-Evolutional adaptation - do you still query their Evolution? How? Greater sexual selection, among those who doubt "Evolution" and those who think "Evolution is not without limits"? Freer adaptation, concerning a world in which...

    I give up: I'd rather go backwards, than forwards (in Evolution)

    Hi there, So I don't know whether to make this long or short, I just want to say that whatever Evolution is, I am not going to chase it. I just don't want to. I would rather be backwards and have faith; than go forwards and "evolve". It's not that I am not capable of intellectual denial of my...

    Bit by bit, you become more like Jesus: evolving into Jesus?

    Hi there, So this is from a simple heart to contextualize. The context, is life in Jesus. Life in Jesus, never runs out (He will be returning, shortly). The point is this: Evolution says there is no telos, to Evolution. However, this is because a pattern of degeneration, is adopted (the...

    For observation to be of discreet changes in a species, observation itself must self-constrained

    Hi there, So something that will help me, even if it doesn't mean I am a star at translating human to post-human evolution, is that the nature of observation, is that it has to be educated. Observation has to be educated, because if it is observation at random, the observations made will never...

    An Evolution that eclipses another Evolution, leaves nothing to be emulated?

    Hi there, So this is basically a thought experiment, for which I don't really know where it will lead. The point is this, sometimes "things can be learned" before the question of survival is moot. Obviously if you are the most evolved in your respective environment, your survival is a moot...

    "In His Name, the Gentiles will trust" - what will "Evolutionist Gentiles" trust in Him?

    Hi there, So "Evolution" has become a sort of black box to me - I don't really know what to say to something that is essentially an unpredictable double pendulum; it neither recognises male and female, nor does it predict survivability, for example. But I started to draw on scripture and think...

    "Evolution", word. "Sexual selection", two words.

    Hi there, EDIT: I know my wording can be a little formidable to understand, at times - skip to the last line, if you just want to give a take on the concept I am working with. So this might seem banal, to make a comparison on a numeric basis,, of a broader theory, but also its being...

    News: Fewer educators teach creation in the classroom

    According to new article by Ann Reid of the NCSE “...the proportion of US secondary-school biology teachers who present creationism as a scientifically valid alternative to evolution fell from 32% in 2007 to 18% in 2019” (E. Plutzer et al. Evo. Edu. Outreach 13, 14; 2020). I am curious what...

    Successive Evolutions, require broader powers of God

    Hi there, So yes, I came to realise what the proper response to Evolution was: the further into Evolution you go, the more you need to repent, the greater you need a power of God and the more successive resurrections you have to follow. 1) more repentance 2) broader godliness 3) more...

    Excess Evolution: no real challenge to environmental dominance

    Hi there, So I have come full circle, with regard to how I understand Evolution. It could be, could it not, that Evolutional pressures, could create a situation, where a species is capable of surviving in more environments than it needs to? Like you have a caterpillar that is capable of...

    Dawkins Evolution vs God - (Both Win)

    In early 1970's, I attended Richard Dawkins presentation on Darwin's Evolution in England. Dawkins was using his famous computer simulation of the progression of Natural selection that build the "bat" shape. To do this, he had a 3x3 grid with the progressing shape in the middle and he chose an...

    Could Evolution convince the centipede to dance? Or the caterpillar to do better than a butterfly?

    Hi there, So, what we have here is a simple observation that between cell and mammal, is insectum (insect). If there is a transition in a cell to a mammal, at some point it seems reasonable to expect that an insect will at least potentially contribute to that transition. But what do we see...
