• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Which should survive: relativity or Evolution?

Ok.

Give reasons.

You are pretty quick to say Creationism is "wrong", it doesn't seem to bother you to use the rules competition there.

It's your op, why don't you give us reasons why they do compete, if that is your position?

I Did, you just don't seem to understand.

We'll make is simple (Though I doubt you'll understand)

relativity* is not a Biological function and their is no Reproductive act in relativity*.


*Assuming you're talking about The theory of relativity, or simply relativity in physics, usually encompasses two theories by Albert Einstein: special relativity and general relativity.

I just gave you a reason: creationism.

Moreover, Evolutionists typically state that "everything competes" (with the statement "it (whatever you want it to be) is survival of the fittest").

So unless you want to qualify what counts as competition, perhaps reconsider generalizing the theory of Evolution to everything?

Back to the drawing board got.

What I write is a mixture of the surreal and the virtual, I'm sorry but I'm not changing it because your brains can't function viscerally in a matrix not of your making.

You are the one posting in a unique way. Does it make sense that you should be able to explain your points to us who don't understand? You are never very descriptive in your posts (from our point of view). So on this question alone could you please explain in as much detail as you can what you are asking?

It's very simple.

One mutation (random).

Two adaptations (relativity and evolution).

Selection pressure for competitiveness (winner/loser).

Please rationally relate these facts into an answer.

If the theory of Evolution takes coherent inputs as I have given, you should be able to resolve the dilemma (by choosing one or the other, or explaining why you needn't (either way)).

I'm not trying to construct a theory here, I am just trying to input something meaningful into the theory you say "already exists".

Is there a reason that you think the two are mutually exclusive?

Edit: this may be simple to you but we just need some clarification.

I think its just a fact, relativity is about a double order of magnitude greater in scope than Evolution.

If you pit the two against each other, Evolution will lose.

If you think you need to pit the two against each other, something is wrong with Evolution.

I am simply bringing this to a head.

Which should survive: Literature or windsurfing?

A question that makes just about as much sense

Yes, but I can answer it.

I prefer literature.

You would say "windsurfing makes you fitter".

The problem is your parallel has nothing at stake, to the contrary the fact that you think you can pit anything against anything else fails in relation to relativity (which is the point of my demonstration).

Unless that is, you can do better than you've done so far.

You just said the point of your demonstration. Could you explicitly explain your point? Put it into some detail? Right now, your question does not make a lot of sense to us. Go ahead and explain it in detail so we all understand what you're asking.
