    Why Believe Evolution Theories?

    I'm interested in hearing why persons here believe in the theory of evolution. I'm not here to knock anyone's beliefs, since we all have reasons for believing things, but I would like to hear why persons here believe for example, that human beings evolved from a microscopic, bag-like sea...

    Mark of the Beast

    Generally it’s been taught that the antichrist is going to declare himself to be God in some rebuilt Jewish temple, but I’m wondering how a rebuilt Jewish temple would even be legit? I have a theory: our bodies are the temple of God. Old Testament things foreshadow future events. What if...

    Time Reset

    God may reset our timeline… Similar to Nietzsche's theory of Eternal return I think it will be different this time…

    Evolution (or like) that is trained to respond to false positives, is a stronger Evolution (or like)

    Hi there, So indeed, there is a question here of whether Evoutionists are identifying anything new, now that they have a semblance of a theory - that is supposed to identify relevant change (wrong?)? In principle, any theory at all, benefits from responding to what are called "false positives"...

    Unknowns, are better for science, than repetitions of what is assumed to be known (selah)

    Hi there, So there is a philosophical problem, with Scientism. That problem, is the value Scientism gives that which it starts out with. Science starts with unknowns. Scientism, takes those unknowns and equivocates that all unknowns have the same fundamental value. That value is antecedent...

    Why don't you adapt first, and mutate later?

    Hi there, So question is: Get me? The glass is half full after all!

    Ok. So blunt honesty here, I think Evolution made the Words of Jesus even more true?

    Hi there, So this will be unremarkable to you, as an Evolutionist, but I find even the words of an Evolutionist mean more to me - a Creationist - because of the Words of Jesus. "What?" you say "How could a theory I hold, have had an affect on words you keep, with ink and paper?" but hear me...

    Hellacious Hermeneutics ... or "Why're we so serious about the Bible"?

    It has been my ongoing experience over the years to observe that most people, Christian or otherwise, have felt a sense of chagrin about the topic of Hermeneutics and Exegesis, especially where the Bible is concerned. This got me thinking today, and I thought to myself, "Self!" ...and you know...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    What about aphantasia? Is not being able to visualise, good or bad - according to Evolution?

    Hi there, So I really want to understand, how this works: take Aphantasia (the inability to visualise), which selection pressures influence whether it is a good or bad thing? Is someone who can't visualize freer to adapt? Or does it force Evolution to reboot - a bad thing? I mean if you believe...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...
