So, yes, it is [possible to] evolve an oxymoron.
No, I did that because sometimes there is a disconnect between the brain forming the thought and the fingers hitting the keys.You left out the words "possible to", is it possible you did this because "Evolution" fails to show how (oxymorons could evolve)?
No, I am not basically saying that. That's your problem... you can't fathom the true content of a thought, and thus you only regurgitate the thoughts in your own brain that a word you read or hear evokes.You are basically saying "an oxymoron evolves, when it means the opposite"? Opposite in what way? In a way that is no longer an oxymoron? If a cat dog becomes a dog cat?
So, a composition of terms "evolves" into an oxymoron, when the meaning of the individual terms change in a way so that their meaning becomes opposed to each other.
So a cat dog that is opposed to being a cat dog, is an Evolution?
I think the problem is, you believe you have a power of interpretation, that is greater than God given understanding can fathom.
It's not wrong to be liberal with an interpretation, if you refrain from calling it artistic. I think the concern is that you think the art of interpretation is its own god, that you couldn't possibly see the connection between one creature and another, without it being therefore "true".
I'm not healthy, if I believe my parents were more apes than they wanted to be; I can't go along with the idea that the madness of being a carnal mixture, is somehow progress.
I refrain at this point, from making the conversation more complicated than it needs to be. I think there needs to be a pattern of restraint, demonstrated by your side of the conversation as well. Show me a tangible way in which you do not "just go" with what Evolution demonstrates, and I will know I am not just having a conversation with a puppet?
What? Please rethink this statement. It doesn't bear any connection to the discussion at hand.So a cat dog that is opposed to being a cat dog, is an Evolution?
And again you demonstrate the very problem I mentioned in my last post: you are incapable of listening to others, you are only echoing the thoughts in your own mind.I think the problem is, you believe you have a power of interpretation, that is greater than God given understanding can fathom.

You seem to be, at least marginally, capable of understanding and accepting your limitations. It would be great if you could start acting on this understanding. Not that I have much hope you will.I'm not healthy, if I believe my parents were more apes than they wanted to be; I can't go along with the idea that the madness of being a carnal mixture, is somehow progress.

You aren't making sense here.
Please define what you mean by "evolution" in this context.
And how does "bittersweet" evolve? What transition of context can evolution facilitate for the term "bittersweet"?"Bittersweet". That's a word.
That's what I am saying "it is impossible to make sense, this way"
And how does "bittersweet" evolve? What transition of context can evolution facilitate for the term "bittersweet"?
And how does "bittersweet" evolve? What transition of context can evolution facilitate for the term "bittersweet"?
And you are wrong.That's what I am saying "it is impossible to make sense, this way"
You baffle me, Gottservant. I simply do not understand how someone can be mainly eloquent, able to understand the concepts of "meaning" and "conversation"... and then so consistently ignore and miss what others tell them.And how does "bittersweet" evolve? What transition of context can evolution facilitate for the term "bittersweet"?
Freodin said:"Bittersweet". That's a word. A word with a certain meaning and connotation. And... it is an oxymoron.
There is no resistance to evolution. Anymore than there is resistance to evaporation or crystal formation.There is no reason, but is there resistance?
Resistance can only be gauged, as coming from outside the species?
For example, what is the Devil's perspective? Is he for or against "Evolution"?
