My Theistic Evolution [really hard] Challenge for Cosmic Evolutionists

[AV1611VET]

But if you don't believe Humpty Dumpty was real, you'd be an idiot for trying to explain him using reality.

Is that what Harvard looks like to you?

 

[Kylie]

Is that what Harvard looks like to you?

No, that's what it looks like when trying to get the Bible to mesh with reality.

 

[quatona]

Then answer the challenge from a reading comprehension perspective.

Take Genesis 1 and fit the individual acts of creation into the Harvard model of cosmic evolution.

Why don´t you just do it yourself?

 

[sfs]

The cosmic evolution model of the universe consists of seven progressive steps, from the Big Bang to today.

Here is Harvard's interpretation of the seven progressive steps:

1. Particulate
2. Galactic
3. Stellar
4. Planetary
5. Chemical
6. Biological
7. Cultural

Put each act of creation in Genesis 1, from the earth on the first day to Eve on the sixth day, into their corresponding progressive steps.

Here's a harder challenge: post something -- anything at all -- that would give me reason to doubt the basic validity of evolution as a description of the history of life. (Oh, and that's not Harvard's interpretation: it's the interpretation of one guy at Harvard.)

I'm not that desperate for something to do.

You won't take this challenge; and you want me to post a harder one?

(Oh, and that's not Harvard's interpretation: it's the interpretation of one guy at Harvard.)

And Harvard has disclaimers all over the place, don't they? or do they care what's on their servers?

And for the record, that man stands alone in his interpretation, does he?

 

[sfs]

No, I don't want you to post a harder challenge. I want you to post a relevant challenge.

And Harvard has disclaimers all over the place, don't they? or do they care what's on their servers?

Why would they have disclaimers? Unless it's something that makes them legally liable, no, they don't care what faculty members put on their web pages.

Humpty Dumpty was actually about Israel's King David. It tells of his fall from grace when he committed adultry with her after seeing her from on his rooftop.

 

[FrumiousBandersnatch]

...And Harvard has disclaimers all over the place, don't they? or do they care what's on their servers?

There's nothing wrong with the 7-stage view from Harvard, but it's less about cosmic evolution per se, and more about the evolution of complexity (hence its title), which makes it rather anthropocentric in the latter stages.

I can see why you might find it an appealing perspective

 

[AV1611VET]

I can see why you might find it an appealing perspective

Thank you.

I know you disagree with it, but at least you're willing to respect it enough to understand where I'm coming from; instead of trying to fight against it and looking like ... well ... like others are.

Wait... what is it you think I disagree with?

lol, source?

Because my source (which cites its own sources) says otherwise. http://knowledgenuts.com/2014/01/08/humpty-dumpty-was-a-cannon-not-an-egg/

I'm not that desperate for something to do.

But you get all railed up when we aren´t willing to do your work for you? Ok.

 

[Nithavela]

Might as well sort them alphabetically or by how friendly they sound.

Actually I have a thread similar to this one, in which Frumious Bandersnatch answered quite nicely HERE.

Kinda makes you guys reluctance to answer this challenge sad, doesn't it?

Coo, a different Frumious Bandersnatch - if I'd have known that when I registered I'd have chosen something different... I'm surprised the forums allow duplicate member names.

Interesting.

He has a space in his name.

Maybe it will remain as one of those great unsolved mysteries of all time.

 

[Kylie]

Maybe it will remain as one of those great unsolved mysteries of all time.

So in other words, you have nothing. Your claim that "Humpty Dumpty" is based on King David is totally worthless.
