If Theory of Darwin is fact, not theory, then Darwin Theory is wrong in its title already?

[LuisDantas]

And also, a kind of Hive Mind too.... (that whole "we are one in the spirit" nonsense)

I have long concluded that if somehow Ibrahim's God existed, it would necessarily follow that it values atheism quite a lot, probably to the point of finding us indispensable.

Yeah, I know that there are Biblical and Quranic statements to the contrary.

But logically they must be wrong.

You added nothing but rubbish, the same answers as your fellow atheists.

Valjean is precisely atheist, and Vedanta isn’t exactly atheism.

As I understand Vedanta, it is a Hindu philosophy school that has Upanishad as the core of its teachings, which have root to the Veda philosophy/religion.

The philosophy has more to do with spirituality than with atheism.

And while I respect Valjean’s personal position with Vedanta, it is his knowledge in biology that are far more important here in this topic.

He certainly know and understand Biology far better than you and me.

The only rubbish I am reading, are coming from you and Hockeycowboy...in this thread.

The evidence is life and our minds, will a cat think about a creator for this universe?

So, no evidence... Got it.

 

[tas8831]

Yep!


Prior to the beginning of physical life (in the universe), where & how would this intelligence exist?

You tell us how your tribal deity existed prior to it creating the universe.

I'd be more interested in pursuing this discussion further if it weren't for the fact that you've just plain bailed, completely unannounced, on past discussions.

Only to bring up the same "arguments" later, as if they'd not been rebutted the previous 4 times he made them.

These people are something else.

 

[tas8831]

I did. I guess you prefer to ignore the empirical evidence, and believe it isn’t.

Your faith in processes as currently understood is misplaced....

‘The Extended Evolutionary Synthesis: Philosophical and Historical Dimensions’ Workshop Report – Extended Evolutionary Synthesis

And quit making assessments of my intelligence.

It always devolves to that...I must be touching a nerve. Lol.

You have yet to tell us why it is that you think the extended synthesis people are right and everyone else is wrong - in fact, you totally IGNORE rebuttals on this subject, as is your norm.

Of course, if your fantasy-based beliefs had merit, should't the "Extended Evolutionary Synthesis" crowd be advocating magic? The Amazing Power of the Spoken Word of Jehovah?

Weird - nope, they don;t do that. They just think that their particular areas of interest deserve to have special 'seats at the table' in the Theory of Evolution.

Funny that you keep ignoring that:

As a result, Laland and a like-minded group of biologists argue that the Modern Synthesis needs an overhaul. It has to be recast as a new vision of evolution, which they’ve dubbed the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis. Other biologists have pushed back hard, saying there is little evidence that such a paradigm shift is warranted....

The researchers don’t argue that the Modern Synthesis is wrong — just that it doesn’t capture the full richness of evolution...
​

Yet you actually think that linking to more articles on the same thing are somehow a winning argument for creationism... Amazing....

The total disingenuous nature of the creationist is something to behold.

 

[tas8831]

Why do you persist in missing the point? You’re not that obtuse...you just don’t want to answer the question, as to where the intelligence came from, prior to the first life ‘emerging’.

Asking more questions, is a textbook tactic you use to deflect. (It usually means I made the point, which the opposer refuses to acknowledge.) That’s why I leave the discussions at times.

You’re not interested.

Reiterating failed arguments is a textbook tactic you use.

That and claiming to have never read material you got caught plagiarizing directly from. So, creationist of you. Jesus must be so proud - for did He not write, in Creationists II: "Blessed are the plagiarists and embellishers, for they so yearn to win arguments on my behalf that deception and mendacity is but second nature to them."

God wants us to be many.

And the Bacteria as well..

 

[LuisDantas]

And the Bacteria as well..

Indeed.

But our role makes better movies and serves humanity more directly.

 

[FearGod]

Indeed.

But our role makes better movies and serves humanity more directly.

Compared to Bacteria, what making better movies have to do with comparing
the number of atheists to the increasing number of Bacteria?
