Some random discussion on evolution...

[OldWiseGuy]

Well, you seem to think that the fact we have limited lifespans is something evolution should have corrected, judging from the question you asked...

I was pointing out that the creation account is pretty accurate.

 

[OldWiseGuy]

What does that tell us about you?

That I was the one who was wrong...of course.

Except it's not.

I was pointing out that the creation account is pretty accurate.

First of all, the creation account is not accurate.

Secondly, you were pointing out that humans having a limited lifespan does not make sense according to evolution. I am asking you to support that point.

That I was the one who was wrong...of course.

And if you were wrong about that, could you be wrong about ID being the best explanation for life?

What if I wasn't wrong?

What is the human lifespan according to evolution?

 

[OldWiseGuy]

Except it's not.

The creation is either a supernatural event or the most fantastically lucky accident in the history of accidents.

It's only "inaccurate" to the degree that we don't understand it.

 

[Kylie]

Let's not play games. You said you were wrong, let's go from there.

What is the human lifespan according to evolution?

Generally speaking, evolution tends to select for those individuals that can survive long enough to produce offspring.

Oh, of course. So anyone can make any outrageous claim, and then whenever anyone criticises it as being false, the person can say, "Oh, it's true, you just don't understand it."

It doesn't work that way. You can't get an idea, assume it's true, and then dismiss any criticism of it by saying it's just not understood.

God gets 'lucky' now?

Isn't that what you wanted to hear? Of course I was to blame, men are always to blame. Wives are blameless victims of neanderthal husbands.

(Apologies to any Neanderthal's out there.)

 

[OldWiseGuy]

God gets 'lucky' now?

By 'lucky' I was referring to evolution.

 

[AV1611VET]

... men are always to blame.

Sexist!

 

[OldWiseGuy]

Sexist!

We take the blame because...we can take it.

And because we are...merciful.

Many living things have "evolved" over time and there are a few that just seem to remain the same.
Do you think in the end they will outlive us all-?
