Evolution - A serious question.

[NUMBERICA]

It's hard for me to comprehend how someone could think evolution isn't a fact. As far as humans from apes, that's a question of religion, and since I'm anything but religious, of course I think a primate (human) evolved from a primate.

Dembski is not a scientist. He is a mathematician.

You want some Millsapa action? Here is some:

"One reason why mathematics enjoys special esteem, above all other sciences, is that its laws are absolutely certain and indisputable, while those of other sciences are to some extent debatable and in constant danger of being overthrown by newly discovered facts." ~ Albert Einstein

Dembski has done postdoctoral work in mathematics at MIT, in physics at the University of Chicago, and in computer science at Princeton. He has also held National Science Foundation graduate and postdoctoral fellowships.

He definitely qualifies as a brilliant scientist in my book.

Oh I was supposed to understand your pop culture references from a substandard TV series...

My god, you are a moron.

I didn't expect you to get it. When you started to go off on grammar correction it just came to mind.

I can multitask.

niiiice...

But we're talking about Biology...

 

[Craig K. Manscill]

So? He studied physics and computer science, doesn't that make him an expert in biology and every other field out there? I wonder what his stock picks are, he's also, by association to other fields, a brilliant economist. I'd rather hear his opinion than actual biologists too, because they study too much. Am I right, Millsapa?

I love mine.

Bwahahahaha, you're such a tool.

 

[Agoxlea]

Bwahahahaha, you're such a tool.

I love mine.

Then why did you use blackjack and dice roll analogies (probabilities) if we are only talking about biology?

Design detection is used in a number of scientific fields, including anthropology, forensic sciences that seek to explain the cause of events such as a death or fire

What is your definition of evolution if you are separating it from the "humans from ape" question?

 

[PearlWatson]

Social Darwinism and Darwinism are 2 different concepts based in 2 separate pools of ideas... the only thing they have in common is the word "Darwinism". And that's not even accurate... Evolution became a "issue in the general public" because Darwin was interpreted as saying "it can work without god", where before you couldn't possibly explain the intricacies of life without God.

Darwinists love pools. Eugenics and Darwinism stem from the same "gene pool" or "ape like ancestor" if you will. Francis Dalton (the dude who coined the phrase eugenics) was Darwin's cousin.

See how it says "Eugenics is the self direction of human evolution?" Do you still want to argue that the two "concepts" don't share the same designed attributes?

 

[PearlWatson]

What the **** are you talking about? Of course the fossil record shows gradual steps... I must have misunderstood you... explain, please.

Do you still want the answer to this or do you hate me too much?
