If the only thing that changes over your lifetime, is an interpretation of God: what "Evolves"?

No I don't think an individual evolves, and I am concluding that when you say "E-v-o-l-u-t-i-o-n": you must be referring to something that is already a variation of it.

No, I am talking about evolution, not a variation of evolution. What you are saying does not work with what evolution actually is. Once again, you do not seem to understand what evolution is.

I am responding, by design; you are objecting, by invoking something that seems to work like conceit - at a universally individual level.

I have no idea what you are trying to say.

If you understood, why it is that you cannot allow the individual to evolve: then you would have grounds to say "this 'conceit' still passes for strength" (that is, in enough contexts to remain sustained).

Individuals can't evolve because evolution REQUIRES multiple generations. Evolution is literally the change from one generation to the next, and how those changes add up over many generations.

Any one single individual can only be part of one single generation.

It seems to be beyond your current repose, that something you think applies to a population, might actually need to apply to every individual in that population before it can make sense to the stronger populations of it.

Over many generations, a change will spread throughout the population. So a change that might have once been in a single individual would end up in every individual within that population. This requires many generations to happen as the change is passed from parent to offspring. THIS is why individuals don't evolve.

Once again, you do not seem to understand what evolution is.

Let's face the facts: if GS actually knew what evolution was, then his threads would not be nearly as entertaining as they are.
