    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...

    Kindness v Goodness

    In Galatians 5:22-23, Paul lists the famous "Fruits of The Spirit". Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control are straight forward concepts that even children can easily understand, yet there is deep personal meaning and blessings found in...

    By the Flesh or By the Spirit?

    Perfected by the Flesh? Galatians 3:1-3 “O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? It was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified. Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing with faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun...

    Insight/advice

    I started practicing meditation and all the new age bologna, and it very quickly brought me right to God. "knock, and He will answer" indeed. So in the meditations, or prayer, He sometimes shows me great images, or teaches me amazing lessons. It is hard to explain to people, when I try, it's...

    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...

    This is why we have so many denominations: its not the truth, unless everyone sees it differently

    Hi there, So a foundational truth: This is why we have so many denominations of Churches, we are all trying to express the truth, more and more differently - that is, for the sake of the truth. In reality, there could be more and more differences, different names for Churches at different...

    Man Is A Dichotomy

    Arthur Custance is of great influence in shaping my theology his in depth logical approach to understanding the scriptures in very insightful. This topic has always caused me conflict and through his many works he has articulated what many theologians have made confusing into a reasonable...

    Simple fact, if you don't leave room, for what you are about to eat, you are sick (not healthy)

    Hi there, So I am having a lot of trouble contextualizing what Evolution means and what it does not: and I have come across a simple fact, that describes my difficulty - "if you don't leave room, for what you are about to eat, you are sick". Are Evolutionists sick? They are if there isn't room...

    You have a choice: more madness, or less?

    Hi there, So I have been struggling with schizophrenia for almost 18 years and I have finally reached an understanding: that puts my schizophrenia in context. That understanding, is that we all have a choice, as our lives progress: to welcome more madness, or less. What does that mean? It...

    I've got it! I know what Evolution is missing and I'm not going to tell...

    Hi there, So I know what I have been looking for all this time, all the reasoning, all the wrangling - about Evolution. But you know what? I'm not going to tell you. Jesus, specifically said "don't throw what is holy to the dogs, lest they turn on you and tear you in pieces" (Matthew 7:6). My...

    I do not remember this from Genesis creation account

    Zechariah 12:1 The burden of the word of the Lord for Israel, saith the Lord, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.

    Given no new selection pressures, the peak adaptation of a species need not provoke change

    Hi there, So it seems evident that there is a massive unknown, here: what if there are no "new" selection pressures? What if the driving force behind change, is answered? Would you say 'no, Evolution needs to invent selection pressures, to provoke itself with'? What would be the sense of that...

    Why a scientific concentration above 90% in dialogue, hampers sociological discovery

    Hi there, So just to point out the obvious, but the more you say you know something, because its based on a theory you know, the harder it is to make successive gains in the same field. In other words, if I am a science boffin and all that interests me is greater and greater fanciful theorizing...

    New concept: both Evolution and Creation make use of the "Master Design"

    Hi there, So yes, I have this concept called "the Master Design". To refer to the Master Design, you simply take a parallel between yourself and Jesus. If Jesus had an arm, you have an arm; if Jesus worked with that arm, you are able to work with that arm. Every species has its own Master...

    If a mutation can develop, a mutation can decay?

    Hi there! So I am just wondering where you stand on this: its basically a question aimed at whether the working component of Evolution ("mutation") is able to be polarized, or not? Like when you are in a car, you say "if I can turn left, I can turn right" - the whole premise of steering is not...

    Here's a likeable thread: name one thing - about a denomination other than your own - that you like

    Hi there, So I will kick this thread off: Name one thing - about a denomination other than your own - that you like! It can be anything... (Jesus said, "by their fruits you will know them")

    All theology is this: give your throne, to the Holy Spirit *and make it His*

    Hi there, So yes, I realised something profound about scripture and theology and revelation: when we become believers, we begin to repent, but when we become mature believers, we begin to trust the Holy Spirit's rule. The best way to honour the Holy Spirit's "rule", is to allow Him to take...
