I've got it! I know what Evolution is missing and I'm not going to tell...

The "New Age Movement" is not a movement.
Yes, it is -- (or was).

Well one of the diverse ideas that this "grab bag" put out, was the idea that the dolphin has the distinction of being the most intelligent animal.

Evolution works just fine and God has no action in it or any effect on it.
It like when you turn on the heat under an egg in the morning.
You don't need God to step in and perform miracle to cook your egg.
It changes dramatically just because it does. Life is a miracle but not
because God tweaks anything. God has a plan and life happens as planned.

Well said.

If you can't explain it simply, maybe you don't really understand it.
In your first few lines you said that you will not share what you know with anyone.

Hoist meet petard.

Alas. The only thing I know of that put out this claim... is a 1990s TV show that I never watched... And a series of novels by the late Douglas Adams.
There was never an overarching umbrella of co-ordination between Rock and roll music, Environmental stewardship, and the rise of Buddhism in America.
The three things were entirely separate. That they emerged at the same time, is a matter of coincidence.

I think I nailed it in Post 47.
To be be fair ToE is a scientific theory so it wouldn’t be intellectually honest to make a non tentative claim.

I'm going more on the title to this thread, than I am the OP.
I have noticed that many posts go off-subject as soon as the writer starts typing the OP.
It is standard procedure for news publishers to have a dedicated writer just for creating click-bait titles.
Not everyone knows that.

Hi there,

So I know what I have been looking for all this time, all the reasoning, all the wrangling - about Evolution. But you know what? I'm not going to tell you.

Useful information, I guess?

How Smart Are Dolphins?
Dolphins are capable of complex problem solving and social interaction. They are one of the smartest animals in the world. Research into the behavior of dolphins in the wild and in captivity has yielded incredible data on the intelligence of these marine mammals. Studies show that dolphins not only have the ability to learn as individuals, but those individuals can then pass their new knowledge onto others.

Among the many animals in the world, there are few smarter than dolphins. These amazing marine mammals are capable of impressive problem-solving, social interactions, and using what appears to be a complex communication system....​

I've never once seen you pretend to even act humbled. And no, evolution is not holy BECAUSE IT'S NOT A REGLIGION OR A DEITY!!!
It has many of the same qualities as a religion. But not a formal one. The leaders are allowed to change and to legitimatize themselves. It's run as a very informal democracy with no rules over who gets to be voted in or out. The participants love that there are no rules. Anyone gets to declare what is truth or not.

Jellyfish disagree and have formally declared themselves as the smartest.
You might not have heard their announcement.

The only way we will be able to tell is how jellyfish and dolphins and other animals do in the Annual Animal Chess Tournaments. My money is on dinosaurs.

Only if they play by Armageddon Rules.
