Answering any questions on Evolution

Please buy a biology textbook and read it.

Why should I trust an indoctrinating textbook?

So you are Zaius' sockpuppet? That is what one user seamlessly carrying on another's conversation generally means.

Because you clearly don't understand biology, and the idea of you thinking you are better qualified than the entire scientific community to determine what is scientifically valid is hilarious.

Why should I read textbooks? Do all scientists agree with each other?

 

[Trogool]

Why should I read textbooks?

Because presumably you like improving your mind. Generally, being educated is regarded as a virtue. I do realize there are some odd ones who disagree and literally lionize ignorance...

Do all scientists agree with each other?

Of course not, the stupidity of idealizing groupthink and intellectual repression is left to religious fundamentalists, not scientists. Scientists disagree on various issues regularly, that is how a consensus is reached.

Why should you educate yourself?

Very funny… maybe

Death is the champion of evolution. Simple logic is all that is required. Please apply some.

Survival of the fittest has an opposing dynamic “death of the unfit”. I reached that conclusion on my own (an accomplishment of average intelligence).

Why should I contaminate my education?

Oh God you're seriously getting your information on biology from youtube videos? That explains a lot.

No, you are wrong. A basic education is all that is required. Please get one.

An average intellect minus a basic education in biology apparently.

Disagreement must carry the approval of the intellectual community otherwise you are a religious fundamentalist. What could speed up the identification process? Maybe a tattoo on the forehead….Atheist approved.

Why should I read textbooks? Do all scientists agree with each other?

Anyone who would pose either of those questions is unlikely to derive any benefit from either a textbook OR a scientist.

And anyone who would assume what the poster is trying to imply by linking the two questions has some enormous obstacles to overcome before any progress will be possible.

“rube” bit dated are we? I am not a day over 120; you and I should reminisce about the 60’s…

Hi,

I'm an atheist and a genetic/microbiological scientist and because this is a Christian forum I've opened this thread so anyone who wishes to know more about Evolution or my beliefs or why I hold them can ask me questions accordingly.

I would however like a respectful debate, but feel free to counteract anything I say if you disagree. I will try my hardest to remain respectful. Thanks

OK people, ask away.

You opened this thread… So get to it… please respond… Pick one…

“Still I would like you to at least take a shot at really answering some evolution questions “begging an answer”. Lets see… no molecular mechanism for evolution, no possibility of random chance assembling life, fossil record shows most species are stable, C-value paradox remains a mystery to evolution, evolution cannot explain epigenetics, not enough mutations to show common descent from a Homo Pan divergence, Haldane’s dilemma still unexplained , no new real species or novel functions added by evolution, Fruit flies in captivity still remain a stable species after 40 years, ERV’s are not pathogenic viral infections maintained in the human DNA… etcetera.”

Just pick one please… an in depth discussion on any one of these or maybe you bring one up. Don’t add more misrepresentation to the already burdened reputation of the evolutionist.

Can a Christian be a scientist?

It seemed appropriate.

Can a Christian be a scientist?

I seem to manage, as do thousands if not millions of others

Wouldn't Christianity contaminate science?

Depends on who makes the rules.
