    Happy Birthday Madhuri

    Assigned opinion debate: Evolution

    Well said, my creationist friend. I, too, am an ID-iot ('Intelligent Design - it's obviously true') and see evidence of design all around me. Evilutionists talk of 'bad' design (they trot out the usual example about the wiring of the eye :rolleyes:), but it's important to note that ID says...

    How Does Evolution Explain Religion?

    In another thread, I mentioned how the use of fire and technology may have contributed to the continuation of brain expansion in the hominid line. I'm interested to find out if any novel areas of the brain (or any already-existing areas) developed during the erectus - heidelbergensis period...

    Creationist - What about Evolution you disagree with?

    Please, Pegg. Read up on human evolution. You didn't have chimps turning into humans - we had a common ancestor.

    Creationist - What about Evolution you disagree with?

    But it's just been pointed out to you that it is not random. The fact that the process is called natural selection should tell you this.

    Atheists only please: Objections to Theism

    I'm with you here, Alceste. When another's religious view becomes an imposition on non-believers or believers of other faiths, then it becomes a problem for me. Like you, I fully accept that the majority of our species feels a need to believe in something, and I have no problem with that.

    technological advances and human evolution

    The development of stone tools coupled with the later use of fire (can the use of fire be classed as a technology? I don’t know), would have made food easier to prepare. Eating and digesting raw food requires more metabolic energy than that for cooked food. The savings on energy through...

    religion and kids

    "Jockanese"? *ahem* I'll let that one go, seeing as how you are the new boy here... :D I live in the Hebrides, and good ol' Free Church fire and brimstone Presbytarianism is alive and kicking up here. I've stopped going to school assemblies because I'm sick of hearing the minister condemning...

    religion and kids

    As a parent, I wouldn't push my subjective values on my daughter. My politics are my politics. My vegetarianism is my vegetarianism. My love of reggae is my love of reggae... I have taught her universal values (don't steal, be kind etc) but, beyond that, she has to make her own choices. My...

    Can you be a Pagan without Psychedelics?

    Punch a Catholic Day

    This is quite sad. I usually appreciate what PZ Myers has to say, but this puts him in a different light now. Thanks for posting this, Apex. I don't think he actually does this, but it's a pointless post on his blog none the less.

    shamanism and atlantis.....

    What do you understand shamanism to be, and are you aware that shamanism has existed way before any of the abrahamic faiths?

    Creationist - What about Evolution you disagree with?

    I didn't dispute that some scientists (even some biologists) dispute ToE (so my level of comprehension is just fine, thank you). Did you not read my recent post regarding Dr Henry Zuill? A well-credentialed scientist, I assume. It's his (and others) rejection of ToE on unverifiable biblical...

    Creationist - What about Evolution you disagree with?

    Even if your figures were reversed (13% for and 87% against), I would still go with the 13%. Why? Because of the availability of evidence. If the 87% of biologists disagreed with it for biblical reasons (as seems to be the case), then that is no reason to accept what they are saying...

    technological advances and human evolution

    True. Technology has an influence on our behaviours, which are as evolved as our physical traits.

    technological advances and human evolution

    I see your point, but I wasn't necessarily referring to speciation within humans - just that the insertion of novel (or not even human) genes into our genome could change our evolution.

    Creationist - What about Evolution you disagree with?

    Yes. And given we are discussing a biological topic, this is crucial. Edit: actually, this issue reminded me of book which I have just dug out: "In Six Days - Why 50 Scientists Choose To Believe In Creation"...
