Their use breaks the rules when 'clearly meant to goad'.i think you need to read the rules. I think I remember clearly hearing that these little emojis are actually against the rules of this forum
Because I don't use them with intent to goad.But you are allowed to use them because?
Hmm, I could take that as a personal attack... [smiley substitute: that wasn't serious]FLAMING AND GOADING:
Do not personally attack other members or groups of members on CF. Address only the content of the postand not the poster.
● NO Goading. This includes images, cartoons, or smileys clearly meant togoad.
You did both of the above yet you excuse yourself
In which case you have no right to "debate" since you do not follow the rules for yourself
Okay sir we are getting no where. You are free? to do what you wish and add unnecessary embellishments to debates?Hmm, I could take that as a personal attack... [smiley substitute: that wasn't serious]
I'm not even sure what the argument was anymore, but I'm glad you feel you won it, and validly.Okay sir we are getting no where. You are free? to do what you wish and add unnecessary embellishments to debates?
And you feel that this is right?
I don't and I won't be resorting to these measures to somehow silence the opponent and think I have won the argument....validly

It seems as though evolution has struck another landmine. One of the biggest problems of evolution is explaining the origin of consciousness and the mind because it doesnt conform to evolutionary principles although thats what evolutionary psychologists would have you believe. The above article shows that the brain is not sufficient for human consciousness, the mind, or life. Evolutionary psychology says that the mind and everything that you are is based on adaptive mechanisms which arose in our "Pleistocene past" and you are nothing more than a cognitive neural program (whatever that means). This is obviously not true but it is the only explanation which evolution provides. To say that we are evolved is to agree with the assumption that we are merely a bag of chemicals and nothing more, with no meaning. This also is obviously not true because you live as if your life means something, even if you dont consciously acknowledge it. Can anyone explain why evolution is still not gone away?
What are we evolving to?Evolution has not gone away because it offers the best scientific explanation for the diversity of life on earth and is supported by proven evidence.
I am no expert but I don't think we are evolving to anything, we would just evolve so that the best suited to the environment would be more successful. In the modern developed world the best suited to the environment may be those with the highest intellect, in which case we would expect to see the intellect of humanity improving over time, but as I said I'm no expert.What are we evolving to?
A better state of being?
Or a further moving away from the Original state and design?
According to geneticists, we're evolving faster than ever (over the last 10,000 years or so, 'recent' times for population genetics). This is probably due to major changes in diet and lifestyle, settled populations, farming, etc.I am no expert but I don't think we are evolving to anything, we would just evolve so that the best suited to the environment would be more successful.

But in the beginning everything was perfect
Are you still in the Garden of GOD, then?That can't have been true. If it was the Fall would not have happened.

Intellect will only improve via evolution if it has a selective reproductive advantage - e.g. if it makes you a more attractive mate. I'm not sure this likely to be true over the long term - we've evolved to find certain kinds of physical features attractive, and I suspect this is likely to be more significant in the long term (assuming civilization continues). But it's guesswork - at present, travel and migration are homogenizing differences between populations.
Here's another TRUTH, the TREE of LIFE was also in the GARDEN...but man, lest he eat of THAT TREE and live forever, was sent out from the GARDEN and the WAY was blocked.
But GOD provided THE WAY back...
Some have heard and believed THE TRUTH.
Others have and have not believed THE TRUTH.
