Answering questions
You should be able to guess from schraf's post that she doesn't think so.
She asked some very specific questions. The best way to answer is to quote them exactly and supply your answer underneath.
I don't think I noticed any answer at all to the specific questions.

Re: Ignored with reason
Although my posts were general replies, I thought I encompassed yours in them.
I probably won't reply to her post, the questions are old now, I think the thread is past it. Also, I found myself skimming it, not noticing anything so profound that I would actually reply to it. Not to degrade the post, but I usually skim them when they resort to name-calling.
These two posts are contradictory.
There is no hint in 166 of any name calling. Perhaps you can point it out.
It appears that you don't have answers to the questions. I don't see that the conversation has moved past those points at all. Some are directly on the topic.
If you can't answer just say so. That is the intellectually honest thing to do.

The questions...
1)
The world doesn't behave as evolution puts it,
Can you please show me "how evolution puts it?"
2)
So, two people are sitting in front of you.
Both of them report feeling the emotion of love.
You are told that one of them believes in god and the other doesn't, but you don't know which.
How do you tell the differerence between them?
3) -- an implied question
quote:Well to spring the trap I said yes to the last one, # 4. But I do not accept biological evolution, not for the obvious and physical reasons.
Yes you do.
If you accept those four fact, you do accept Biological evolution.
4)
But for the insignificance given to me and all humans within the idea.
Where in the ToE does it mention anything about "insignificance?"
as for the "full of crap" --
What else can one say about:
quote:
I meant to say something about the implied results of the world we are in through the theory evolution. These results I do not see in reality. They don't exist, therefore I think this is evidence that evolution exists. The world doesn't behave as evolution puts it, for an example, love is "real" in the sense that it is ALL about the feeling, and serves not an evolutionary mechanism, but the people involved in this love, and the moment.
You could try rewriting this so it makes some kind of sense. In it's present form the comment seems to fit.
We are supposed to show respect for each other here but Schraf's slip here is very very minor. If you're going to play the hurt feelings card it doesn't help your case any at all.
