    Do we have to prevent other species from becoming "humanoid" to survive or do we encourage them?

    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?

    The more you change species, the harder it is to be optimistic about the species you are - Discuss?

    Hi there, So it really comes down to one gripe, with Evolution: that macro-Evolution does not have consequences. Setting aside that we do not see it, in nature, for a moment, let us consider agreeing with the spirit of what is being said - to see if we can learn from it. Now, there is...

    Nature need not be theorized, injuries do; Evolution is not solely predatorial

    Hi there, So this is an important qualification, that stems from the Lord's word that "those that are well, do not need a physician, but those who are sick" (gospels, from memory). Basically, the logic is this, nature does not need to be theorized, injuries do. You can't do anything about your...

    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...

    What if I believe it sometimes, and not at other times?

    Hi there, So I don't even want to single out a specific faith, at this point in time - I just want to posit the question: I mean what is your framework, for "rest" if you will? Is the theory active "at rest" or "dormant"? Is dormancy a better readiness to respond, than "denial"? The point...

    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...

    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...

    A mutation ceases to provoke adaptation, to a particular selection pressure: design to the rescue?

    Hi there, So this is just a hypothetical: if a mutation ceases to provoke adaptation, to a particular selection pressure, will "Design" come to the rescue (where random change would only hinder)? Will "Design" ensure that the rest of the adaptation is fulfilled, before the creature gives up and...

    So if first a fish, then a giraffe, then an elephant - my "Evolution" has a greater span?

    Hi there, So I am trying to work out, what the mechanism behind "Evolution" is and from what I am told, what you were to begin with, makes a difference, that is, the succession of development from one creature to the next "culminates" in something. Following this logic, the more steps that you...

    So I've worked out, that Creation is just as true as Evolution (really?)

    Hi there, So yes, you are privileged to hear my take on Evolution before I brave the waters of the Science forum - its actually very simple: Evolution promises change, through successive adaptations; Creation promises change, through variations of a kind. What does this mean? It means that...

    Design implies that the optimum, can be achieved, no matter what state the species is in

    Hi there, So it seems like forever, since I have set out to understand this, but now it is finally in sight. The advantage of design, is species wide. Why? Because design implies that the optimum for the species, can be achieved no matter what state the species is in. A newly conceived giraffe...

    "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...

    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...

    At what point does a species adapt, the ability to be called (by its own)

    Hi there, So this is a significant development, in understanding Evolution, because as the Bible says of Jesus "He came to His own and His own received Him not" (from memory) - that is, it is an adaptation that is not universal, but by the same token, is prolific. The idea is simply what...

    If Evolution is true, why are human adaptations not ubiquitous?

    Hi, So yes, there are adaptations that are specifically human. Humans also assert their selection pressures on other species. Why don't other species respond to humans with human adaptations? A more human ape, is the future? Why not? If Evolution is a continual force, human adaptations will...

    Other species may be more appropriate ancestors, than apes - what then?

    Hi there, So as you will have noticed with a few of my threads, I have wanted to come to you first (in the Christian section), rather than cast my pearl before swine - the moreso as Evolution continues to be more and more unregenerate (amongst its proponents). Its not that I don't know how to...

    Hybrids Prove New Species are Possible

    And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so. --Genesis 1:24 NIV Some may take this and other verses from the Creation story to mean that...
