    Why food is tasteful

    You just said something tastes bad but also tastes good? :confused:

    Why food is tasteful

    Mutations and natural selection. Any creature that doesn't enjoy something that's healthy is less likely to survive.

    Why food is tasteful

    Because it's not a 100% qualia. Taste is indeed a sense. There are a variety of foods with different chemistry. The reason why we taste many different goods and bads is because our tongues detect the different chemical make-ups in different foods. We had to acquire a taste for each type of...

    Why food is tasteful

    Same reason there's physical pain and physical pleasure. Touch something that's harmful = feels pain = possibly dangerous = don't touch again. Tastes something that's bad = bad taste = possibly poison = don't try to eat again. Good and bad taste increases our chances of picking healthy foods...

    Ask me about Evolution

    Isn't it "all the way down"? Anyway, it could be that. Or it could be something as simply as life starting somewhere at least once in The Universe by chance. The Universe is a big place afterall.

    Ask me about Evolution

    That would be very interesting if that were true. It would beg the question how those aliens started.

    Ask me about Evolution

    Not quite. It also depends on one's definition of a god.

    Ask me about Evolution

    By definition, you can't have evidence for the supernatural, otherwise it wouldn't be supernatural. It might as well be as synonym for non-existent.

    Ask me about Evolution

    Your opinion. Not a fact. Also your opinion. Then the point still stands that there are failures. They weren't failed while living. Their extinction is what defines them as a failed species. The ancestors of man didn't fail, because they evolved into us. And we're still here. All of...

    The purpose in life

    As far as science knows, there's no inherent purpose of life outside of what life decides for it self.

    Ask me about Evolution

    Use your imagination. We're talking about a creator that's omnipotent. How about an Earth with infinite space and resources? Shouldn't be too hard for a divine creator. Or at least give everyone biological immortality, reducing the need of reproduction. You're the one who's saying extinction...

    Ask me about Evolution

    But if there's a divine creator, there's many alternatives to death to prevent overpopulation. Especially if this divine creator can do whatever he wants. And why is that necessary? Don't just say it is. Explain why it proves nothing. Not only. That's just the level of rational all...

    Does Gravity Negate God?

    Well it's more of a warping of space-time rather than a force that reaches out and grabs thing. Also, gravitational fields are really result of the stress-energy tensor rather than just mass. Gravity from energy is possible, and if I'm not mistaking, from magnetism too.

    Does Gravity Negate God?

    I would say there isn't a need to be negated in the first place, even if we didn't have a Theory of Gravity. That goes for Evolution too.

    Ask me about Evolution

    There are much less people like this. Also, religious institutions have a lot more power than these people, thus, need a lot more concern.
  16. AndromedaRXJ

    Ask me about Evolution

    Death isn't necessarily needed to prevent overpopulation. What would be needed is a certain lack of reproduction. Also, he said extinction, which is death to an entire species, not an individual. And extinction is definitely not needed to prevent overpopulation in any way. It's not like if...

    Enough Time for Evolution?

    You're saying two creatures that are nearly identical are completely unrelated. I know it's hard to believe, but cats and bears are nearly identical. The only reason why it's difficult to understand is because it's easier for the human mind to notice differences in something than similarities...

    Enough Time for Evolution?

    Just never mind the semantics and consider the vast similarities they do have(mammalian glands, fur, middle ear and whatever the carnivora similarities are). Your proposal requires that they evolved many MANY of these same traits independent of each other, by chance, as they're not related...

    Enough Time for Evolution?

    The base type for cats, dogs and bears is the carnivora order. You're basically doubting that this order should exists and the sub groups of cats, dogs and bears should have no higher taxon than genera or families. Which is a problem because now we can't place them under mammals, a HIGHER taxon...

    Enough Time for Evolution?

    All that requires is that speciation is able to happen indefinitely. As in each time speciation happens, the new distinct sets of populations can repeat the same thing. For example: A Branches too: B and C Branches too: B1, B2 and C1, C2 Branches too" B1a, B1b & B2a, B2b and C1a, C1b &...
