The Mind Of The Evolutionist
We like to refer to them as Bible Belt Baptist Blusterers.
Are you trying to bury yourself? You need to do a lot more research before you can even begin to understand. Your OP is nothing more than a religious ranting. Enjoy.
Why would we "evos" hate a god we don't know exists, genius?
You "creats" hate evolution because you know it exists.
No problems with self worth then!
When I read this a picture of a guy kneeling there with his mouth wide open and his blind eyes fixed on the sun - the only excuse I have is that I am translating a lot of art stuff at the moment and getting very visual with it
Nice to see you're happy with yourself. And, that's a really sad thing.
Don't ask why, because I'm not in the mood, nor do I have the inclination to explain it to you.
However, I'm sure you'll have question as to what was the "uncaused cause" that began the Universe and "why" does the Universe exist?
And, you should know- there are some questions that never need be answered, and there are some questions where that is the answer to the question asked. If you have trouble with that, then I guess you have more to learn.What is with people, do you think everything that comes out of someone's mouth, a belief? How ridiculous.
That's a good thing.
Mine wasn't a funny face. If you found it amusing, then you need a refresher course on what smilies mean what.
I don't expect you to "grumpy" and sorry.
Respect? You're expecting to receive respect automatically. Okay, I'll give you respect, when you earn it. You show me something that deserves respect, as you speak about a god as the answer for everything, and I'll show you the door.
More people would do what you are asking, as long as you refrain from spreading your belief in a god, for which, supposedly lives outside of reality.
Inside reality, there is no god. So, your ideology of live and let live, doesn't wash, because of the irrationality of the basis for the belief in a god. The belief in a god is selfish, self-serving and detrimental to the existence of the human species.
But, thanks for playing.Actually, there is no truth in that statement and shows you've not the ability to see worldview.
Again, you completely side-stepped what I began my previous post with. Not everything spoken or said is a belief, yet you think it is. Now, that's just ridiculous.
Beliefs? Are to be based on reality and nothing else.
Anything not based on reality is meaningless and useless.
The freedom of speech?
Interesting statement.
Red flag is when people outright show themselves as selfish, but when shown the error of their ways, they refuse to do anything about it.
Misconceptions, distortion tactics and misinformation must be addressed, just like irrational beliefs need to be met with rational understanding, so they can be corrected.
Yet, you said in the beginning of this post. You make no sense. I suggest you choose better words for your sentences.
Well, I guess you can be fore-warned for our next conversation and the remainder of this one- My beliefs are not shared with others. They are none of your concern.
Hey Wilderness, chosen ignorance is truly blissful, didn't you know that.
As for the OP, sorry, but the bible and Christianity religious philosophy has been debunked. It happened over a half century ago, but if you care to look, I've just published a hub that does it again. This time, the church and it's followers will not simply dismiss it.
Good luck.If there was a like button you would have gotten for both your posts.
Thumbs Up Gamergirl!
My thoughts exactly.
Some people on this forum seriously need EDUCATION instead of church based deluded home-schooling.Dear me.
I twisted nothing - your bible specifically tells you not to start fights and not to argue with nonbelievers.
So - you are going directly against what you claim is the word of your god and will burn in eternal torment.
I - like Jesus was supposed to have been - am cursed with the ability to divine intent. Makes me quite a good poker player and massage therapist - but extremely cynical and weary of people who start fights in order to claim they are being persecuted. A common Christian affliction.
I mean - what was your intent by starting this thread if not to cause a fight and argue with "evolutionists"?I quit smoking, so I am going to have to decline - but thanks for the offer.
Oh it wasn't a proposition, I was just informing you of my intention to take you. Although, money always talks, and we all know that you have enough money to bribe Peter
So - the bible does not tell you not to start fights and not to argue with nonbelievers?
well christ said dont treat others in way you wont like to be treated...so try to mock and get mocked in return...christ also said that give your right cheek when slapped...guess we wont have had world war 1 and world war 2 if that was followed...believers forgot christ and accepted Darwin to survive i guess
Why ask, why bother, in fact why are any of you bothering to reply if you all recognise it was a thread started to cause you all to rise up and react, which you duly all did.
Which hoop will you jump through next?Looks like you've no idea about speciation.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speciation
Just for your information it takes hundreds or even thousands of years to branch species out from parent. Hundreds or so years from now on humans are likely to lose appendice from body because of the way we eat food today. Now if you want to take example of extinct species like carolina parakeet, the further speciation is now stopped from that branch and evolution will not be there for that species. How you're going to prove that they existed to begin with if the rest of parakeets evolve in near future ? Only if we can Study instead of pressing buttons in caps
- ...ya flat world with witches moving around and satan doing tricks...w
but those who believed in bible earlier might have forgotten to read that
You've gotta be a Brit. Twaddle? lol haven't heard that one in a long time. Well said btw
Oh please. You would be lucky if 10,000 years ago, there was a single person on this planet who had consciousness(awareness of life).
In fact- science has already figured out that about 5000 years ago, consciousness began it's infant stage.
People talk about gods. Give me a break.Don't you mean "500,000" years ago, Cags?
Full Consciousness like you have presently, 5000 years is the only amount of time you have to go back.
Hmmm. I've found beautifully made and expertly designed projectile points which are around 14,000 years old, Cags. These people may not have had as much knowledge to absorb as we do now, but that doesn't mean they couldn't.
I didn't say anything about the knowledge that was available then, I said "Consciousness".
The awareness of their own life. Or did you not understand that?
But, you believe what you like.I cannot see how you can research consciousness levels from so long ago. But I'm okay with that!
The same way you can research the consciousness of person living today?
Edit: Many different ways.But it's easier to do so when the people are alive!
Still waiting for your answer, David. Why would scientists fake evidence of evolution? Do you think your little cult is important enough to go to so much trouble? Is so, you are badly fooling yourself.
But I will wait for your explanation before calling you out for making up lies for Jesus. Or is it okay to tell lies for your cult?I would like a link to the information showing Darwin to be "almost a joke to much of science today." Thank you!
You may be right, Jerami. If they were the first of our ancestors, they seldom came down on the ground because it was hard for them to walk upright, like most of the primitive primates.
Okay, if you say so. I won't bother bringing it up again.But, religion didn't die. So much for that train of thought.
Argue This... But Don't Hide Behind A Verse!
EVOLUTION
When you were a tadpole and I was a fish
In the Paleozoic time,
And side by side on the ebbing tide
We sprawled through the ooze and slime,
Or skittered with many a caudal flip
Through the depths of the Cambrian fen,
My heart was rife with the joy of life,
For I loved you even then.
Mindless we lived and mindless we loved
And mindless at last we died;
And deep in the rift of the Caradoc drift
We slumbered side by side.
The world turned on in the lathe of time,
The hot lands heaved amain,
Till we caught our breath from the womb of death
And crept into light again.
We were amphibians, scaled and tailed,
And drab as a dead man's hand;
We coiled at ease 'neath the dripping trees
Or trailed through the mud and sand.
Croaking and blind, with our three-clawed feet,
Writing a language dumb,
With never a spark in the empty dark
To hint at a life to come.
Yet happy we lived and happy we loved,
And happy we died once more;
Our forms were rolled in the clinging mold
Of a Neocomian shore.
The eons came and the eons fled
And the sleep that wrapped us fast
Was riven away in a newer day
And the night of death was past.
Then light and swift through the jungle trees
We swung in our airy flights,
Or breathed in the balms of the fronded palms
In the hush of the moonless nights;
And, oh! what beautiful years were there
When our hearts clung each to each;
When life was filled and our senses thrilled
In the first faint dawn of speech.
Thus life by life and love by love
We passed through the cycles strange,
And breath by breath and death by death
We followed the chain of change.
Till there came a time in the law of life
When over the nursing side
The shadows broke and the soul awoke
In a strange, dim dream of God.
I was thewed like an Auroch bull
And tusked like the great cave bear;
And you, my sweet, from head to feet
Were gowned in your glorious hair.
Deep in the gloom of a fireless cave,
When the night fell o'er the plain
And the moon hung red o'er the river bed
We mumbled the bones of the slain.
I flaked a flint to a cutting edge
And shaped it with brutish craft;
I broke a shank from the woodland lank
And fitted it, head and haft;
Then I hid me close to the reedy tarn
Where the mammoth came to drink;
Through the brawn and bone I drove the stone
And slew him upon the brink.
Loud I howled through the moonlit wastes,
Loud answered our kith and kin;
From west to east to the crimson feast
The clan came tramping in.
O'er joint and gristle and padded bone
We fought and clawed and tore,
And cheek by jowl with many a growl
We talked the marvel o'er.
I carved the fight on a reindeer bone
With rude and hairy hand;
I pictured his fall on the cavern wall
That men might understand.
For we lived by blood and the right of might
Ere human laws were drawn,
And the age of sin did not begin
Till our brutal tush were gone.
And that was a million years ago
In a time that no man knows;
Yet here tonight in the mellow light
We sit at Delmonico's.
Your eyes are deep as the Devon springs,
Your hair is dark as jet,
Your years are few, your life is new,
Your soul untried, and yet -
Our trail is on the Kimmeridge clay
And the scarp of the Purbeck flags;
We have left our bones in the Bagshot stones
And deep in the Coralline crags;
Our love is old, our lives are old,
And death shall come amain;
Should it come today, what man may say
We shall not live again?
God wrought our souls from the Tremadoc beds
And furnished them wings to fly;
He sowed our spawn in the world's dim dawn,
And I know that it shall not die,
Though cities have sprung above the graves
Where the crook-bone men make war
And the oxwain creaks o'er the buried caves
Where the mummied mammoths are.
Then as we linger at luncheon here
O'er many a dainty dish,
Let us drink anew to the time when you
Were a tadpole and I was a fish.

Was God created by a higher intelligence?
