Science/Environment Explaining evolution and natural selection.

[jaaack]

^ That does look fascinating. I have definitely heard of it, not sure if I've read it enough (I was reading heaps of this stuff five or so years back).

I remember this one being great, but it is mainly hypothesising rather than hard science: https://www.amazon.com/Sperm-Wars-I...TF8&qid=1470351913&sr=1-1&keywords=sperm+wars

evolution is creation and natural selection is how evolution decides what to create

Can you elaborate?

 

[brett15]

the solar system is evolution beyond earth, and its being created all the time

Are you Kirk "the banana" Cameron?

 

[jaaack]

I need to hear more from this guy rofl

 

[brett15]

well the object I refer to above is the Sun

What would you say are the major evolutionary pressures that the sun faced that resulted in it adapting the way it has?

Entropy?

Do you even second law of thermodynamics.

Do you even second law of thermodynamics.

lol the understanding of basic science by creationists is lolworthy really. They are what they are, i dont care what you believe in but make an effort to read up on basic stuff before commenting

 

[Procrastinator35]

Seems we've both roused & riled the evolutionary natives all at once.

Yeah, most atheists have not yet evolved the capacity to appreciate sarcasm (or many other forms of humour). Some say this is related to the direct, two-way causal link between atheism and autism.

To be fair sometimes it's hard to detect sarcasm because creationists are dead serious about the dumbest things.

Read up on the divine command theory, enough for anyone to shed a IQ points straight away

Divine command theory is pretty standard, but it's also probably the most dangerous and objectionable idea that I can think of in religion, or at least it's right up there. Combine it with arbitrary interpretation, and you have a recipe for people believing they can, or SHOULD, do all sorts of evil shit, and all on the back of no evidence whatsoever.

Thats what i mean, when a book is considered the word of god and actions of god are for everyone to be seen, you know theres a problem. The fact that Mohammed as supposed to be a perfect human being and did so many shitty things let many Muslims justify crime.

why didn't he and kirk mention the coconut, pineapple.

the banana is proof of god, biggest LOL i have ever heard for the justification of a creator and a textbook case of confirmation bias.

also is not the current banana we eat a human/genetically engineered fruit? have a look at the wild banana in this link. i think "man" improved on gods design by the look of this.

I thought evolution & Natural Selection only applied to biological organisms on earth....Yet somehow, apparently, they have transcended the bounds of their contextual application, to apply to the entire universe.

LOL....Too clever by half.....Not.

Quick podge,, TP, jason & Setanta et al....Roll off another page of creationist memes, in order to disguise & counter this black hole.

Ideological quackery at it's finest.

So the universe didnt evolve? what the........? are you seriously trolling us? whats been ahppening for 14 billion years then?

Yeah I'm pretty sure a good percentage of these guys don't believe their own bullshit.

The universe just is....Evolve is a man made concept denoting gradual development from one stage to another....It actually explains nothing.

Stars which die, burn out & implode are actually devolving.....By attaching the notion of change & time in the one concept (evolve) you are attempting to claim ownership of causality itself in an abstract concept....Not only that.....It also inheres a teleological component.... It is utter nonsense,and it explains nothing.
