7 Question: If evolution is truth, then........

Peruvian · Jun 6, 2005

Dear members of the forum:

IF EVOLUTION IS TRUTH......then

1. How do you know you have evolved in the right way?

2. What is sin?

3. What is the difference between good and evil?

4. Why the DNA structure is quite organized?

5. Why are we living in a seven days week?

6. Why the energy travels in waves?

7. Where does the iron come from?

Please answer my questions, assuming that evolution is truth.

Let me tell you this, if evolution is truth you do not have an descent answer for my questions!

Please answer my questions, assuming that evolution is truth.

Let me tell you this, if evolution is truth you do not have an descent answer for my questions!

1. Because Im able to survive in our current environment.
2. Irrelevant to evolution.
3. Irrelevant to evolution.
4. Because it evolved that way.
5. Irrelevant to evolution.
6. Irrelevant to evolution.
7. Irrelevant to evolution.

Really Peruvian, when 5 of your seven questions are not even relevant to your own thread how can we take you seriously?

What I want to know is Peruvian's answer to these questions, "Because the Bible says so!"?

Did we not just finish answering these exact same questions just a few days ago? What web site are you getting this tripe from?

Dear members of the forum:

IF EVOLUTION IS TRUTH......then

1. How do you know you have evolved in the right way?

There is no right way in evolution, that is a theological question not a scientific one. If you accept a deity then I guess the answer would be yes, unless said deity is incompetent. If one does not accept a deity then the question makes no sense.

2. What is sin?

The act of not being in line with whatever deity you accept wishes you to be in. But it has nothing to do with evolution just as it has nothing to do with how my computer works.

3. What is the difference between good and evil?

It is whatever the deity you happen to believe in says it is. Again this has nothing to do with evolution. My computer manual also says nothing about it, should I throw my computer out?

4. Why the DNA structure is quite organized?

Because it would not work otherwise and nature looks for things that work not things that dont work.

5. Why are we living in a seven days week?

Because the moon calendar that the calendar we use is based on has seven day weeks.

6. Why the energy travels in waves?

How should it travel if God did not exist?

7. Where does the iron come from?

From the center of stars where it is produced as a byproduct of fission.

Please answer my questions, assuming that evolution is truth.

Let me tell you this, if evolution is truth you do not have an descent answer for my questions!

I have answered you questions and they were not that hard. Please now go to whoever gave you that list and smack them in the head for trying to make you and Christianity look stupid.

The fact that someone fooled you (and maybe were fooled in turn by someone else) into asking stupid and irrelevant questions does not make them any less stupid or irrelevant.

Please, to read answers like that, you better be quiet!

Oh, great! More questioning, then, when we give you an answer, you say we are wrong. You seem to be very insecure in your beliefs. You have to confirm them to yourself, by claiming we are wrong, without backing it up.

Good job.

1. How do you know you have evolved in the right way?

We seem to fit nicely into our niche, don't you think?

2. What is sin?

What does this have to do with evolution?

Sin is when you do something a deity tells you not to do.

3. What is the difference between good and evil?

"Good and evil -
And their merits -
Men have argued through history -
As well they should!
My philosophy
Any child can see -
"Good is evil -
And therefore
All evil is good"

How do you tell evil from good?
Evil does well - good not so good!
Evil's the one that is free everywhere -
Good is the one that they sell!
You must decide which is heaven -
Which is hell!

Good maintain evil's a curse! -
But it is plain good's even worse!
Evil's the one that they tell you to shun -
Good is the one to embrace
Say that and Satan will laugh right in your face!

The battle between good and evil
Goes back to the start -
Adam and Eve and the apple tore Eden apart!
The key thing about good 'n' evil -
Each man has to choose! -
Heaven 'n' hell
Is a helluva gamble to lose! -
But as I peruse
This world we abuse -
It's hell that we choose -
And heaven must lose!

Evil is everywhere -
Good doesn't have a prayer!
Good is commendable -
Evil's dependable!
Evil is viable
Good's unreliable!
Good may be thankable!
Evil is bankable!

Evil's for me - you can have good!
Doesn't suit me to be Robin Hood!
S'easier by far, from the way that things are,
To remain good 'n' evil
Than try to be evil and good!" ~ Good'N'Evil (Jekyll and Hyde)

4. Why the DNA structure is quite organized?

That's a question for genetics, I think.

5. Why are we living in a seven days week?

Again, what does this have to do with evolution?

6. Why the energy travels in waves?

Same as above.

7. Where does the iron come from?

Well, I got mine as a gift when my last one...well, died. It keep it in my laundry room, if that helps.

Please answer my questions, assuming that evolution is truth.

Let me tell you this, if evolution is truth you do not have an descent answer for my questions!

Evolution is not a philosophy. It is not a religion. It is not atheism. It is an explaination for the biological diversity we have on Earth.

Yes. You are in blatant violation of the spirit this thread was started in. Your responses must be formulated as 2/7 nonsense and 5/7 irrelevance. Please edit that ridiculous post.

This is from the retard site this guy or someone else was spamming a few days ago. I can't find the URL, nor will I expend an ouce of energy looking up something so banal.

Peruvian, if you have a brain in your head, read these questions to yourself and ask if they aren't totally pointless.

1. How do you know you have evolved in the right way?

Evolution doesn't have a purpose; there's no real right or wrong way. Just differing levels of reproductive success, for a given environment. I'd say we're pretty successful, given the reproductive success our species has had. (Though we're nothing compared to bacteria.)

Peruvian said:
2. What is sin?

Nothing to do with the theory of evolution, that's for sure.

Peruvian said:
3. What is the difference between good and evil?

Again, nothing to do with evolution. But I'd say it's mainly a matter of perspective.

Peruvian said:
4. Why the DNA structure is quite organized?

Because that's the way the chemical interactions worked out.

Peruvian said:
5. Why are we living in a seven days week?

Like Tyr's day, and Thor's day? Certiantly nothing to do with evolution.

Peruvian said:
6. Why the energy travels in waves?

And now... you've lost me. Though I have to admit, my knowledge of physics doesn't go much past a first year level; but I thought energy showed a wave-particle duality. (Or maybe that's light I'm thinking of.) But it's got nothing to do with evolution.

Peruvian said:
7. Where does the iron come from?

The ground? What does this, like most of your questions, have to do with evolution.

That is the reason for my tough love smack down solution. Just imagine how much better of a world we would have if people were forced to study or at least think for a few seconds before they spewed trash like this out. And those who refused to even think would be quickly weeded out of the reproducing population due to brain damage from repeated blows to the head. Its a win-win in my book.

I was always partial to the 'idiot tax' solution myself. If someone said something stupid, instant $250 fine. And we can put the revenue towards a better education system; so it becomes a self-correcting problem.

That would work, but then you get government involved and that place is manned almost exclusively by idiots. Plus it is just more satisfying to give someone a good smack.

Salaam Peruvian,

thank you for the post.

Peruvian said:
IF EVOLUTION IS TRUTH......then

1. How do you know you have evolved in the right way?

this implies that Evolution is some sort of intelligent being which purposefully directs the process of Evolution. Whilst that may be the case, the evidence does not support it. thus, posing a question of "right" or "correct" is irrelevant. the fact is, since this physical form has evolved in this environment, it is suited to it quite well.

you will note, however, that humans are not well suited to space or deep sea environments.

2. What is sin?

it is a mathmatical funtion. here's an algebraic approach:

From defining a few general properties of the sine and cosine functions, we can algebraically derive the sine and cosine functions themselves.

Definition IV: Over the complex numbers Given a complex number z = a + b i,
sin(z) = sin(a)cosh(b) + cos(a)sinh(b) i

3. What is the difference between good and evil?

one of the terms begins with a "g" and the other with an "e". are you asking about the moral quality of difference between positive and negative actions?

4. Why the DNA structure is quite organized?

what other way would it be? it is only as complex as it is required to be to perform its' functions. is DNA more structured than a crystalline lattice?

5. Why are we living in a seven days week?

the Romans.

6. Why the energy travels in waves?

it doesn't. well... not exclusively... energy travels in waves and in packets and depending on which property we are discussing, we would pick one of those modes of travel to measure. the salient point to bear in mind is that it is not just in waves or packets, it depends on the property that we are choosing to measure.

7. Where does the iron come from?

you mean iron atoms, yes? they come from the same place as all the other atoms... from stars. both your physical form and my physical form are made of, for wont of a better word, star dust.

Please answer my questions, assuming that evolution is truth.

i don't know much about "truth", but the evidence sure seems to support the Modern Synthesis pretty well.

Let me tell you this, if evolution is truth you do not have an descent answer for my questions!

if this is how you feel, why even bother asking the question?!?!!? that is just plain strange.

it is like you are saying to a group of people that you've never met:

"hi, share your ideas with me."

"ha! i know what you ideas are, before you share them with me, and they are all wrong.... even though i've not actually heard your idea yet!"
