Can we restart the evolution thread?

[outofplace]

Yawn...How many times do you need to have your ass handed to you on this argument? Three times a year? Four times? Five times? Please stop.

Walls can't hand asses to anyone. They just sit there refusing to move or bend.

A hypothesis begins as an "educated guess" that seeks to validate itself with proof.

Your move, puds.

Refusing to bend?

Pot: "You, kettle, are black"

After reading part of the original Evolution thread.....and seeing the thread title on this, me and Amy Winehouse have the same response.

"No, no, no."

Damn Chef, that's weaving three or four threads into one. Well done.

This is why I make millions of pennies a year.

I've highlighted the key word in your argument here.

After it begins as an educated guess, work is done to prove or disprove the guess. Once it is proven, it is no longer a guess. It is fact.

If it is proven incorrect, the scientist(s) performing the experiment do something you seem incapable of: They admit they were wrong.

Is that German for "The, thread. The"?

 

[hockeybeat]

I don't believe in evolution or creationism.

Why? Because we've gone from these guys...

...to these tool bags.

Yes, science depends on, and adapts to, new evidence. And does so quite happily.

Faith, on the other hand, brooks no disagreement and remains impervious to evidence - which is why we don't teach it in science class.

Like everything in the universe, science evolves. In fact, it seems like the only thing that doesn't evolve is religion.

At least scientists admit when they don't know something, rather than insisting they do know it but can't prove it because, "Science moves in mysterious ways."

The Real Reason Dinosaurs Became Extinct. /garylarson

 

[zeke12]

Silly Armchair.

Gay marriage killed the dinosaurs. Everyone knows that.

 

[Precious Roy]

The automobile, the aircraft, indoor plumbing, central heat and air, electricity. All these things were not here in the garden during the "creation" of man. However, if you can accept for a moment that things evolve, that we are within a model that is FOREVER changing, then all these things are possible.
Without "science", and I put quotes around it because everything to me is a science, there is nothing but man dead in the mud from a myriad of things (disease, other animals, natural disasters, etc...).
I am not religious, I abandoned that part of me long ago, but it is not hard to accept that if something "created" everything we see, then evolution is a key part to that.
If you believe what was written, by man, that we are all the offspring of two people, then everything that is being rallied against (gay marriage, incest, etc..) is really just silly.
I however, would like to think that I am not related in any way to my wife and that we have a hand in some way of making the world a better place with the generation that we create who will help shape the next "step" in human evolution.
Remember, evolution doesn't mean a third arm or no pinky toe. Evolution is just the progression of the species to survive in the environment around them.

 

[Ace]

The flaw in your theory, Precious Roy, is that indoor plumbing has not evolved. These new low-flow toilets can barely handle a square of Charmin.

So I think you are going to have to rethink everything that you think you know.

 

[Precious Roy]

Ace, are you saying that toilets are set to stun, when they should be set to kill. [/Zap Brannagan]

There is that theory that they mated with the fallen angels that were cast out of heaven when Lucifer's coup detat didn't succeed. Since sin had already entered the world why not drop some more sinful beings into it to propogate the spread of evil. Worked pretty well in my opinion.

Hey (very distant) cousin. If you're a believer in the theory of creationism, please answer the following two questions:

- is every human in the world related to eachother through Adam & Eve or through Noah & his family (who were the only ones to survive the 40-day flood)? Either way there was a hell of a lot of incest going on since A&E didn't have any daughters for Cain & Abel to mate with and Noah & his immediate family were the only ones to survive the flood. The book of Genesis makes no mention of God creating other humans at the time of the Garden of Eden, just Adam & Eve and their kids. Then Noah and his children were the only ones to have survived the flood.
- Why and how did God kill the dinosaurs? Did he kill them by telling Noah to keep them off the ark or did he kill them through another method that allowed all other forms of life to survive (contrary to scientific theory)?

So maybe you should trust in that which is steadfast.

The story of Adam relates and is traced through the Jewish community, not the world at large.

There are the absolute creationists and those who can tie the "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth" to the evolutionary process and reconcile them withouth booting one or the other. There is a strong biblical position that between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2 was an entire age.

Maybe. Or maybe religion needs to adjust to current sociological mores and beliefs.

 

[Yawn]

That's putting the happenin' generation before the foundational mores.

Horse, meet cart. Now follow it.
