I give up: I'd rather go backwards, than forwards (in Evolution)

I think what it is, is that my Evolution, is lagging.

I'm not saying that's Evolution's fault; I'm not saying I blame my Evolution.

I'm just saying "I am having trouble keeping up, I need help, I need a Saviour".

No offence, if you would rather feel that I was a betrayer of what you had come to know was "the truth" - I just can't pretend I can do it on my own, any more.

You have no evolution. None of us does. Evolution is the difference between you and your offspring, not changes which happen to you during your lifetime.

You are saying '"Evolution" happens, after everything is added' - that just does not make sense?
That's not what I said.

For the umpteeth time: Evolution happens, over a number of generations, to populations where some offspring have variant traits that give them an 'advantage'.

An 'advantage' is whatever results in their genes contributing more to subsequent generations than the genes of others; e.g. producing more viable offspring.

What if "the population" doesn't want to co-operate?

Look at the progression from fish to ape to man, at what point are they evolved?

It's a basic question.

I'm not playing games, I'm just encouraging you to be constructive??
Practically every other member, in this and in a hundred other threads of yours, has been nothing but constructive.

Unfortunately you refuse completely to pay the slightest attention to anything you have explained to you. This refusal is insolent, self-centred, arrogant stupidity. It is not amusing. It is not intelligent. It is not sociable. It is rude, provocative and inexcusable.

The only thing that matches it for inexcusability is the failure of the forum staff to shut you down for your own good. They have a duty of care that they are flagrantly ignoring, presumably because they want to keep the post count up.

If Jesus can't do it, I'm not interested.

That's my final offer.

I can leverage, far more from design, than spurious predation in the name of Evolution.

You cannot offer anything because evolution is not something that can be bargained with. It is not an entity with thoughts and logic, it is simply a biological process.

Mindless, isn't it?

What if I die, and I don't know what my Evolution is "supposed" to be?

Will I have to wait (for my resurrection) behind those who already know, they are going to be human?

Isn't claiming you are from a monkey, like giving in to the popular interpretation that the resurrection is a joke? Without knowing why?

If I asked Jesus, to "evolve" something: I would be presuming insufficient, something for which all sufficiency has already been achieved.

I think that's the problem, you are headed down the broad road to destruction: and your invitation to me, is to give up the narrow path, for something neither path can justify (perpetual progress).

I can evolve more, sticking to my current kind, than you can fluke fleetingly insisting on the kind you imagined at first might be 'relevant' (one day you will say you want to copy me, but I will tell you "depart from me you workers of iniquity, I never knew you, where you were from" (just like Jesus)).

Do you enjoy not making sense?

I enjoy it, a little (sadly - can't help it).

Just being honest: if Evolution is supposed to make more sense, because it "has" to,, I don't think you are ever going to sound like someone, who knew what sanity was.

I'm sorry, if that means I enjoy the wrong thing, but in the Evolutionary context, I sincerely don't understand where within me the consistency (that would make Evolution constructive) is supposed to come from.

So yes, before God and before you, I publicly confess I put the hope of being "sane" with Jesus, before being less reasonable with "Evolution".

I guess that is where we differ? That Evolution lacks "the reasonable", to me? (I don't understand what making a reasonable attempt at being the child of a monkey, is).

Evolution will never make sense to you because you don't know what it is and apparently don't want to find out.
