Do You Believe in the Theory of Evolution?

[sakurarox]

I believe in the theory of evolution but i dont believe we started off as tadpoles and evolved into what we are today i think we were like caveman with loads of hair and with time we have evolved into wonderful creatures who are able to do anything (well in my case at least)

This entire argument is irrelevant in light of the fact that creationists literally believe in magic. Do not argue with these people. Beating your head into a stone wall is far more productive.

Welcome back.

In a way, we believe in magic less than atheists. We believe something supernatural happened. You believe something happened that flies in the face of all we know. At least in the supernatural we can say it's possible BECAUSE it's supernatural. To say it happened naturally just doesn't make sense. :dunno:

Ahem.....Millions?

You can't get two GOOD scientists to agree on what fucking time it is...let alone how old the earth is

You know how many times and ways I've tried to say that, but couldn't get my point through!? When I grow up, I wanna be just like you man. :nod:

 

[COOL_BREEZE2]

seems like you're saying, "We haven't discovered it yet and it can't be explained yet, so we'll go with the "we don't know exactly how it's done, but science fills in the gaps" argument.






LOL @ everyone

You're a meanie GP.

Okay paco, you constantly have popcorn and I want some. Aw, I just got excited to go the movies tomorrow. That was weird. Anyways, back to you giving me some popcorn.

Here's popcorn atcha buddy. opcorn2:opcorn2:opcorn2:

Heya. Welcome back Liberachy. Good to see you. You were missed.

Well, depends on what you mean by "cavemen". I view cavemen as us before we knew much of anything. And you have a sense of humor!.

Imagine how two BAD scientists would attempt to agree on what time it is; they would eventually resort to flaming.

According to Albert Einstein, why did the chicken cross the road?

Albert Einstein: Whether the chicken crossed the road or the road crossed the chicken depends on your frame of reference.

Issac Newton: Chickens at rest tend to stay at rest, chickens in motion tend to cross roads.

On the sun rising:

Ludwig Wittgenstein: "It is a hypothesis that the sun will rise in the morning. This means we don't know it will rise"

AEF: Not when millions of independent scientists arrive at the same collusions that say the sun will rise. Ok, so what? I am very confident that it will rise. But, I have no clue why us not knowing how every got started is in any way relevant. Its not.

You're just saying so because of your personal religious beliefs. Prove it.

Liberachi: This entire argument is irrelevant in light of the fact that creationists literally believe in magic. Do not argue with these people. Beating your head into a stone wall is far more productive. The sun will rise. Period.

I was going to make an argument, but this is fucking stupid. The sun fucking rises. Deal with it. And all of you people who are against it are making presumptions as to the validity of something you don't have the...

Ludwig Wittgenstein: It is a hypothesis.

Liberachi: You are making assertions about the probability and possibility of the sun rising for which you are doubtless unqualified for, as it would require a knowledge of biophysics, biochemistry, evolutionary biology and mathematics which 99%+ of all PhDs graduate are totally unfamiliar with. It is ridiculous to make assertions as to the possibility of complex sciences when it's doubtful you could even make probability predictions for the behaviour of hydrogen atoms at a specific temprature, much less of all the chemistry on Earth.
It did happen, and does, and since the supernatural is impossible, it must have arrived at that point through natural, logical, consistent laws of reality which - though they may be unknown to us - can not be coherently denied to exist.

And where did the cavemen come from?

This is real wisdom. He sounds like a fence sitter too.

I hold the logic is a prerequisite and component of existence, as is material reality. The supernatural is nonsensical in itself. An omniscient/omnipotent being is nonsense by its own definition. And a mind prior to and outside the material universe is nonsense on several levels, not the least of which is the idea of a mind (or anything) without material existence and causational determination cannot be upheld as existing.
Even if every known law of science were wrong, or if we were incapable of ultimately determining what makes the Universe real as it is, this would not make contradictory things possible, nor would it repudiate causation and material reality as the ultimate prerrequisites to anything.

You never cease to amaze me Liberachi.

I don't know how to break it to you, but entirely half of your argument here is exactly what I've been saying all along.

Somebody had asked me earlier, but I'll ask you now... Do you think it is possible for other dimensions to exist? In your post you're arguing against, but not necessarily along the lines I'm now going to move.

 

[COOL_BREEZE2]

This should be good.

opcorn2:

 

[ssl]

How many dimensions do you suspect exist?

Let me quip a little Einstein: That depends on your frame of reference.



Secondly, it also depends on what you decide is the first dimension. Is existence of an object the zeroth dimension? If something exists, it takes up space (first through third dimensions) and is susceptible to the effects of time (possibly the fourth dimension).

But then the next dimensions get kind of foggy, so, as not being instructed in the latest philosophies of this subject, I feign no further hypothesis on this matter.

 

[gillibean]

I vaguely remember reading that some of Einstein equations only worked when considering 11 dimensions.

So the things you don't believe in are nonsense. I guess that's reasonable from your frame of reference.

no evolution for me thanks !!!god is the answer . :nanners:
