Evolution Makes Me Cry

Some think it's a legend but "we" millions don't.

and even so, we are the most intelligent, what more do you want? why do you need now prefect eyesight when you can buy binoculars and you aren't even watching for predators? what use is that to you?

Lol... Strange explination. But I guess or ancestors ran over to WalMart and bought themselves some binoculars to catch their dinners with. I forgot about that...

You JW culter minority believes it. Do you believe in other fables too? Like how the elephant got his long trunk? And why elephants cry? And such?

We, who observe the nature, and dismiss the legends that not fit into these observations, know that Adam and Eve story is beautiful, but still a legend.

universe itself also evolved as the handiwork of something unintelligent and blind?

And this has to do with Darwinian evolution ... how?

Everything, Swede. Thought maybe the 'a fortiori' argument might add critical leverage/depth to your intellectual posture and bolster your public forum claims. You still remember the inferential principle of stronger/greater to weaker/lesser: if the origin and continued presence of an entire universe is definitively attributed to something unintelligent and blind then, ipso facto, logically follows that the selfsame unintelligent/blind something could easily be relied upon to populate one tiny planet with ease.

Are you trying to avoid the Darwinism matter because you know you are wrong?

Darwin didn't say much about astronomical matters, so this cannot be "Everything", that's just a non-answer, meaning nothing, meaning pure avoidance.

So again, what has it to do with Darwinism? And don't give me a non-answer now, just answer it, or admit that you don't know anything about evolution.

Thread topic happens to be 'evolution'. Darwin happens to be one of many human authors who have speculated on the concept and become steadfast proponents. Open ended broad scale conversation holds far more appeal than prematurely diving headlong into some myopic surf on Darwin Street Beach at low tide. And doubt Freaky would take kindly to hijacking.

“…if the origin and continued presence of an entire universe is definitively attributed to something unintelligent and blind then, ipso facto, LOGICALLY FOLLOWS that the selfsame unintelligent/blind something could easily be relied upon to populate one tiny planet with ease….” (my emphasis)

No it doesn’t! that does not logically follow!
You are saying that:

“If something unintelligent U can do M then it LOGICALLY FOLLOWS that U can do L where L is something “Lesser” than M.”

So, for example, if:
U = river current
M = moving billions of tons of water
L = make a single water molecule.
Then we have:

““If a river current can moving billions of tons of water then it LOGICALLY FOLLOWS that a river current can make a single water molecule”

Which is false; One does not logically follow from the other.

And the argument is irrelevant to your claim anyway because Darwinian evolution is not a theory of the “origin and continued presence of an entire universe” 😛

“…Thread topic happens to be 'evolution'….”

Exactly!
So what does, as you said “the origin and continued presence of an entire universe” got to do with it? -Nothing.
But you think it is relevant to evolution which clearly shows you don't understand what evolution is.
Evolution is not a theory about “the origin and continued presence of an entire universe”.

Not just the JW's buddy.

No, I know. For that I'm sorry.

Right. So let's stick to evolution then. Not astronomy. Let's not get off-topic.
If you want to discuss astronomy instead of evolution, then I reccomend you to start another thread with your astronomy topic.

Many anti-evolutionists don't understand evolution. When they do, maybe they change their opinion.
One fundamentalists once thought BigBang theory was the same as evolution! 🙂

Just some intersting differances that are posted here.

Something I've thought of about humans and if we did evolve, it would seem to me that if we are the result of all the trial and error of evolution constantly improving a species and the end result as we see it now is the human, why woul t that evolution could develope up to this point on all levels, but I just don't see that....

Why are we not the strongest, the fastest, the best eyes, lungs, hearing, strenght, etc?

We have pretty awesome eyes, and we are the fastest running primates I know of due to our specialized feet - especially while holding things in our hands like a spear! This, however, prevents us from climbing like gibbons. Our hands are the best hands. Our walking endurance is second to none due to our straight bipedal stance - all we have to do is stick a foot out front and fall on to it, unlike with other mammals who need to actively push themselves. Our voices are pretty awesome too.

Neandertal, who was stronger than us, had a really hard time throwing a spear precisely because of the anatomy that gave him great strength. This is why we aren't strong like gorillas.

All anatomical characteristics require energy, protein and nutrients to create and use. When they are not used, they atrophy to preserve bodily resources.
