Question for evolutionists

[jamie4418]

Nearly all atheists also accept the Theory of Evolution. atheists make up less than .5% of the prision popuation in America, we also make up about 10% of the total population. An atheist is over 20 times less likely to comit a crime than a Christian.


On Earth, yes.


Look at the plegues. Nearly 1/3 of Europe died from the Black death. The Spannish flu killed over 50,000,000 people less than 100 years ago. Today viruses like HIV are evolving at a rate that we are unable to find a cure.

I'm not only asking you, but other evolutionists as well. Do evolutionists believe there is a right and wrong? An atheist is 20 times less likely to commit a crime than a Christian? Where is the proof?


I've said this a few times, but I'm saying that humans dominate all ANIMALS on the earth. Not all organisms and species.

I think my questions are adequate.

I never asked if humans are better than animals to you guys. I asked you guys if humans are more evolved, more intellgent than animals.

I keep asking the same questions to know exactly what you guys believe. Alot of times, my questions are simply not answered.

Firstly, humans are animals, a mammal. Your question whether humans are more evolved, more intellgent than animals, is like asking whether french is more advanced than a romance language.

Secondly, although humans are more intellgent than other animals, it does not necesarily mean humans are more evolved.

Also, humans do not dominate all animals. Places like deep-sea-trenches are pretty much untouched by humans, and plenty of animals live there.

As a Catholic, do you believe God created the heavens and the earth?

 

[jamie4418]

Obviously there are many animals we do not come into contact with. I am saying that humans dominate or can dominate every animal we come into contact with.

Lemmings, you didn't really answer my question. It is highly debatable whether atheists are 20 times less likely to commit crimes than christians.

I asked whether you, or any other evolutionist believes there is a right and wrong.

What do you mean by 'more evolved'?

The Theory of Evolution is just a tool, not a philosophy that influences the morals of someone. To ask whether this tool influences someone’s morality demonstrates a misunderstanding of the theory for someone of your age. I would have expected the Canadian education system to be better than this.

And since you where unable to search for "atheist prison population".

Sorry that I can't read it to you.

So would I, having gone through it. It's clear that our prolific poster here didn't take biology.

Do you believe a human is more developed than an ape or gorilla?

They are equally evolved in dissimilar environments.

It's not a required course? Weird, my school district requires 2 years of Biology and a total of 4 years of science.

 

[ranmaonehalf]

Do you believe a human is more developed than an ape or gorilla?

how?
we have developed in different ways.

They are better developed for there enviroments than we are. As we are better developed for ours.
A bird for the air and dolphin for the sea.

 

[ranmaonehalf]

So evolutionists don't believe humans are by far the most evolved species on the earth?

correct, any educated evolutionists.

there is no... most evolved. at least in the idea that there is a goal.

 

[ranmaonehalf]

Okay, let me use one example. We humans can put almost every animal in a zoo and watch them in entertainment. Does this not show that we dominate all living creatures?

i think you bring up a good point.
Lets see how many people here can get a lion into a cage.... um.. now dont go to gunmart.. make your own gun or tool.. Most humans justa are smart enough to use something and not make it. Especially if you had to go all "Lost" do you think you could make the basic tools of life and rapidly upgrade from there?

most advanced my ass..umption...

 

[ranmaonehalf]

Okay. Simple question for evolutionists. What do you folks believe makes a species more evolved?

evolutionists dont.

but they may think that some things are better adapted to certian enviroments or situations.

Me running faster than my friend when we are both being chased by a lion may mean I am better adapted...
he he he..

Of course my friend tripping me....

Seriously though there is no "more evolved"

However we can look at a process and see from point a to z which point is more to point z than another.

 

[ranmaonehalf]

Like I said to Dawiyd. I'm talking about animals here. Not viruses. Humans most definitely dominate viruses.

Just to clarify what do you mean by

Dominate?

 

[ranmaonehalf]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't evolution and survival of the fittest go hand in hand?

no. survival of the fittest is a old.

It is much more apt to say

survival of those that are good enough to reproduce.

surviving after that is not needed. look at the black widow and praying mantis.

 

[ranmaonehalf]

Are humans more intelligent than other animals?

i would say that to our knowledge most humans are.
However that can easily go into the might makes right which i disagree with.
I would also say that most humans are pretty stupid and are incapable of dominating anything if they had to go from scratch or with our cash.

 

[ranmaonehalf]

How can evolution account for these facts?

it doesnt need to. oh this is my 100th posts.. yay happy new year everyone.

 

[USincognito]

Now, if that isn't total domination of all species, I don't know what is.

Let me know when we can cure influenza or completely rid apartment complexes of roaches.
