By the way, there is no such thing as "artificial evolution." Evolution is by its very definition a natural process. |

Believing in psychokinesis is tantamount to believing that the Holocaust never occurred. Sure, we can't prove it beyond the shadow of a doubt, but you'd have to be an intellectually vapid moron to cast out all reason and believe in these things. Go try to build a perpetual motion machine or something. And quit watching X-men if you seriously think that evolution will allow us to break the physical laws of the universe, especially when the physical laws of the universe are the very things that cause evolution to happen. --Guido http://andy.mikee385.com |

You say impossible, even cite known laws of physics(which is the tip of the iceberg) you discount the sea of unknowns. I say I am open to the possibility that it is possible. Which way of thinking will help more with progress? Last edited by Iam_a_Maid; 07-23-2006 at 04:03 PM.. |

What do you think evolution has to do with psychokinesis?

So you are saying that just because we havent proven it impossible (though many say we have) we should assume it is? So you're saying O should assume that aliens live in the center of the earth, and if I really wanted to I could suddenly turn myself into a chair, just because we have not proven that we can't?

To believe that fundamental particles are made up of elves is stupid, no? Do I have to consider the possibility? Not at all. If the world turns around and shocks us and there arises evidence of elf-like particles, then you can be open to possibilities, but until then, you're just a moron. There is nothing different from that belief and believing in psychokinesis. Just because someone says it's possible means absolutely nothing. Once again, bolded for emphasis: Absolutely Nothing.

Take your pseudo-altruisms and moral righteousness somewhere else, because it has no room in this discussion.

Can someone find this for me? I swore I read something like this somewhere but I can't find it.
A scientist did an experiment that showed when people walk into rooms made of granite objects can start moving on their own. I'm not claiming this as proof of anything since I can't find it. But I'd throw that out.

I_am_maid do you think that humans will evolve in the future? As far as I know humans havent evolded in the past. 2-3000 years ago our brains and mental capicities were the same as they are today as they will be 2-3000 years into the future. Technology has changed by we havent and wont.

Evolution is driven by enhanced reproductive success for some alleles compared to others. Thus, after millions of years, we'll all be hot.

I'm a Christian and a evolutionist christian would just be a walking contradiction.
And I don't think the earth is bilios of years old, and I also do not belive in the big bang. Edit: I am not saying anyone who belives in it stupid, what I am saying is that anyone can believe in whatever they want to believe in. Last edited by sjoecool1991; 07-24-2006 at 12:42 PM.. |

Science deals with the testable. Religion deals with the untestable. As you can see, there is no overlap, so a Christian evolutionist (mind you, I hate using the term evolutionist because it implies a distinction which I'm arguing shouldn't exist) is not a contradiction. I'm a Christian. I believe God created the heavens and the Earth and all that walks on it, yet I have no problem whatsoever reconciling that with evolution as coexisting processes. Being a Christian doesn't mean I have to suspend my rational thinking to believe in evolution. God tells us to revere and honor our bodies and minds, yet you insist on dismissing such a wonderful, capable, and expansive mind by believing in a young Earth? Come on, we have human brains for a reason. --Guido http://andy.mikee385.com |

The human body can do amazing things if you set your mind to it, the brain controls the body. But the brain has no influence whatsoever on anything outside of itself or the body.

well, the reason why i dont believe in evolution is that I believe that God created all things the way they are meant to be. Not that they evolve from something else.

And also, If you don't "believe" in evolution, go ahead. I would like this "god" of yours to explain Dinosaur fossils and how they got there when there is no mention of them in your almighty bible. Last edited by GuidoHunter; 07-24-2006 at 11:37 PM.. |

Well, I dont believe in phsycokinesis or magic, but Chris Angel is a genius.
Some of his tricks are not edited though, he just distracts the person with one hand and makes it look like something else. Its really quite amazing. |
