Individuals don't evolve, but populations do, as has been explained to you here;
I give up: I'd rather go backwards, than forwards (in Evolution)
You've been told many times that individuals don't evolve, populations evolve over many generations.
If you change some belief you hold, that is not evolution of any kind.
I enjoy that response, it's very perceptive. I used to be "broken" myself until I found God.I thought this was particularly perceptive: in the sense that we must start with what God gives us, we are forever indebted to respond to the context in which we are given faith.
It does not make sense to say "you made me clay, now I will be iron".
The end result of trying to change, is that you are broken.
I will accept that: a population is more likely to evolve.
But that is precisely the point - why?
What is it that is common to both an individual surviving more and a population evolving more?
EDIT: I can even tell you how much more a population is likely to evolve, in a city it is 15% more likely.
No you didn't. You hit the quote button and produced an incoherent word salad that had no relationship with what I had written.I questioned that response, further (you need to research further?)

Hi there,
So, a simple question for you: if the only thing that you change over your lifetime, is your interpretation of God (let's say "one change"): what "Evolves"? What happens to my allele frequencies? Do they agree or disagree?
The point being, it is objectively: one change.
Not a series of changes, not a self-referential loop of changes: one change.
How would I go from "believing it myself" to "believing it in keep with a population"? Would I have to convince a population? What would convince a population?
What about God? Is God compelled to acknowledge the change? Does that not compensate, for everything I might otherwise have missed out on?
I am really struggling to understand what you see as an advantage, without God - so if God is the only change: I will be told concretely what it is, that God does not do?
Like satyrs?You can't state something is false if you don't know what it is.
I think I have hit on what it is that changes: proximity to niche.
Either you are in a selection pressure niche, or you would be advantaged by being in or out of one.
This is something that cannot be navigated, with as full a potential as possible, by chance (alone).
By communicating the relevance of a selection pressure niche, to a mate - you further increase your chances of pro-creating.
By withholding the detection of a niche, from a predator - you further increase your potential to evade that predator, with reference to the niche.
Without committing to regular change, in relation to your ability to navigate a specific niche, you might not develop the prowess necessary - to keep it in view, in concert with the bridge Evolution creates between niches.
Evolution is therefore, simply para-niche.
It cannot transpose the adaptation of one niche, to niches in general, without experience.
While a species that is well adapted to a particular lifestyle - being in the niche, as you call it - is not likely to change much as long as the niche remains constant, being able to communicate that is fairly meaningless, since any potential mates will be part of the same population and thus already in the same niche already.
.. a relationship forged from the threat of the abject terrors of hell being imposed on his subjects .. by someone who derives his own pleasures via imposing total domination over them.
Wonderful basis to form a lasting relationship upon ... Not for me, thank you!
I take your point.
However, I object to your introducing "population", without identifying the proponent that enables you to do so?
It would make more sense to say, you evolve attraction for a mate, by stepping outside it (the niche - let the reader note)? Remaining in the niche for a mate leads to in-breeding?
Once again your lack of knowledge about evolution is showing.
I am talking about population because it is a population that evolves over many generations. You keep speaking as though it is an individual that evolves. This is wrong and you have been told it is wrong many times.
