With technology, infant mortality will reach zero. That is the direction we have been heading for a century.
And what does this have to do with Gottservants deluded comments about stimulating evolution?
People gain credibility by you challenging them. Hasn't that occurred to you yet?
They gain credibility by your act of respondingThey don't credibility from me by asking inane and insipid questions.
They gain credibility by you responding.
Ah...you like him as a pet project of yours. You like to fix people.They gain credibility by actually reading and learning what people say.
You are mixing metaphors.What about your proclivity to err against the individual? If one were to practice ignoring the Evolution of the individual, one would understand Evolution more?

You seem to have fallen for the more poetic of documentary narratives. They speak as though evolution is guided, but they are not specific how. They talk as though evolution had a will of its own, and they marvel that it happened in just a few million years. They talk as though adaptation was a matter of the will, or proclivities, when the principle actually involved is simple survival of the fittest.Hi there,
So, yes, a basic basic concept for you: you have the theory, but how do you "stimulate" the Evolution that the theory makes you aware of?
Scripturally speaking, we study the scriptures.
Meditatively speaking, we practice meditation.
Instinct grows, if it is practiced - it stands to reason that "Evolution" would require a specific (unique?) exercise of instinct (for specifically "Evolutionary" instinct to "grow").
I'm not asking something hard: race car drivers, race; but they also visualize the race, to hone their skills (which is better survival as a race care driver, but not as a direct consequence of choosing to be a race car driver).

Give it some thought?
To stimulate your evolution, take a population of about 4 or 5 hundred of you, and isolate them from the rest for a few hundred generations.Hi there,
So, yes, a basic basic concept for you: you have the theory, but how do you "stimulate" the Evolution that the theory makes you aware of?
First of all, we so not "believe in" evolution. We accept it based on the evidence.Answer this question:. How can you believe in God and evolution? That's impossible.
Evolution is a natural process involving heritable variation and natural selection in a reproducing population.What I want to know (at least to begin with), is what manner of concept is Evolution?

Not at all.Answer this question:. How can you believe in God and evolution? That's impossible.
It's an illogical question. By definition, evolution is entirely random. You cannot evolve. You are what you are, if evolution is true. Some genetic abnormalities may pass to your progeny. By some astounding and inexplicable chance, that abnormality may be beneficial. By some even more astounding and even less explicable chance, a new creature may result. And by an even more amazingly astounding, mind boggling coincidence, another creature of the other gender may evolve at the same time and in the right physical location. I think I'll buy a lottery ticket. I have to be the winner!Hi there,

Nope. Evolution is not totally random. That is a claim that only one that doesn't understand it would make.It's an illogical question. By definition, evolution is entirely random. You cannot evolve.

Really? No one can explain the mechanism to me satisfactorily. "It just so happens" is not an explanation.Nope. Evolution is not totally random. That is a claim that only one that doesn't understand it would make.
It appears that the fault is on your side. No one has ever claimed that it just happens for example.Really? No one can explain the mechanism to me satisfactorily. "It just so happens" is not an explanation.
Frogs.I will take this up with you, later - Lord willing.
In the meantime, focus on a question like this: "of all the Evolutions that have occurred throughout history, which one do you most prefer (above all the others)?"
Well that would happen even without your permission. I'll work at keeping you in the dark then. No point in me being honest.No, and I thank you to not try and psychoanalyze me.
