Why creationists can never convince me that evolution is false.

doesn't seem to follow, heres another quote on the unorthodox meaning a type free reacting

The five separate logic cells were clearly crucial to the chip’s operation, but they were interacting with the main circuitry through some unorthodox method⁠

I have no idea what you're trying to say here. Take some time to think about whatever point you're trying to make, then present it in a clear manner.

That's not generally what "free will" means. If you want to have a discussion about the concept of free will, I'd suggest starting a thread in a different subforum.

This is neither the subforum nor the thread for that discussion, and I don't really want this thread derailed in that fashion.

I'm saying that I don't want this thread derailed into a discussion about free will. Which, if you pay attention, is *not* the topic of this particular thread.

There are rules in this forum about thread derailments. I'm simply asking that you respect that.

A discussion about free will is not the thread topic. I don't understand how this is confusing to you.

Ok then teach me on how life formed in the beginning without theories or suggestions. there's no harm in saying that hasn't been figured out yet because that is the truth.

Goading is also a violation of the forum rules. If you continue down this path, I will start reporting your posts.

Quit acting like Franchi & Gallori’s research doesn’t exist.

This is exactly what I mean when I say creationists ignore all evidence that doesn’t fit their personal biblical narrative.

I'm not the average creationist, give me the link to Franchi & Gallori’s research and i will look into it to see if they have proven how life formed

Also another thing creationists hate; the fact we can follow the evidence wherever it leads, and we don’t have to accept only things that fit with a narrow biblical interpretation.
Evidence for what? You don't even know why reality exists.

I am simply asking you to respect the fact that I don't want this thread derailed on off-topic discussions. As you are devolving into ad homs and goading, I have begun reporting your posts accordingly.

You're missing the point. Yes, there was an explicit goal set insofar as what the evolutionary algorithms are designed to optimize towards. But the specific design of the circuit for that outcome was not pre-planned.

If the design was already known, then the designers would have just created it from scratch. The design was not already known: it took the evolutionary algorithm to find it.
So, nothing decided something.

A more accurate description is that the evolutionary algorithms explored a search space of potential solutions for a particular optimal outcome.

"Don't actually say anything that brings evolution into question on my thread about why you should believe in evolution."

A discussion of free will has absolutely nothing to do with the validity of the science of evolution nor my understanding thereof (the topic of the thread). Hence, why I don't want the thread devolving into a such a discussion.

Nope. You’re the one telling us how evolution is false.

it’s not my job to educate you, and the reason for this OP - we know more about science than you guys.
