For Inquisitor, et al: What is Evolution?

Hi crashfrog,We seem to have had the same idea there....

Hi Brian,
Glad you liked it
If you want more one liners that are similar look for threads with
ten-sai or zephan...most "debates" with him are clones of the ones he has had here as Inquisitor...but we have to forgive the guy..he is just plain dense as a brick.The most disappointing aspect of it is I thought the entire legal evidence versus scientific evidence debate would be interesting and a new angle. Also, it would have been interesting to see someone try to "prove" epigenetic modification or epistasis in a mock court room setting. Unfortunately, Apple/Ten/Zeph/Inq was never up to the task...perhaps a real lawyer..or an intelligent one at least, will come aboard one day and actually make a go at it...until then, there will surely be more of the ritalin deprived rantings of our resident troll to chuckle over.cheers,
M

It's a well-known fact that many (possibly a majority) of those who support the theory of evolution believe in or accept the existence of the supernatural, myself and many others here included. This alone invalidates definition #1. Some day you will have to accept that evolution was not invented to take the place of a god.

Methinks the need to explain away the supernaturalness of the supernatural, miracle, if you will, spawned the idea in the first place. When you really deeply think about it, what is observed necessitates inteligent design all the way. The odds of random natural selection is simply too impossible to explain it all. To think a supreme supernatural being would be so impotent as to have the need to progressively create a being such as man all the way from rock to slime to wigglers to creeper, to walker to grunter to intelligent praying communicating being, is imo, nonsense. Leaving it all to chancy collisions of this's n thats, bumping into one another at precise occasions so rare that the odds are nigh unto impossible, says little to the supernatural ability of any being.It would be interesting to hear what sort of supernatural you believe in and what sort of supernatural happenings you accept as bonafide. Can you name a few, Zephyr?[This message has been edited by buzsaw, 05-07-2003]
