Practically everybody believes something unbelievable.
Virgin Birth - ???
Abiogenesis - ????
Resurrection from the dead - ??!!
Random mutations producing material for new organisms - ???!!!
Creation ex nihilo - Unbelieable, Astounding !!
Speciation by unguided processes - requiring huge faith
And eternal Mind - Incredible!
Eternal Matter - Say what ??
Adam and Eve - Preposterous !
Natural DNA information generation - Incredible !!
Angels - Boggles the mind!
Multiverse - Baffling !!
God - Unbelievable
No God - HUH ???
A world wide Flood sparing all but 8 people - Unbelieavable!
A FIRST instance of Natural Selection - Mind boggling!
Eternal Life - Unbelievable
No immaterial SOUL - How's THAT ??
Atheists often get a pass around here while theists are deemed "unreasonable" - like atheists don't require leaps of something like "faith".
A last judgment - How's THAT ??
Space Aliens - Where ??

@sonship saidI created this thread.
@Ghost-of-a-DukeRant alert.
Hey, sorry if you don't have anything exciting to tell people about.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidAre you sure? Maybe nature processes over time through random mutations did? 😉
I created this thread.
@kellyjay saidAdaptive mutation states that rather than mutations and evolution being random, they are in response to specific stresses. In other words, the mutations that occur are more beneficial and specific to the given stress, instead of random and not a response to anything in particular. (Wiki)

@ghost-of-a-duke saidThen to the issue at hand, the OP.
I created this thread.
A well adjusted and moral human being will abhor genocide wherever or whenever it occurs.
So during the Third Reich the nation that produced Beethoven, Gutenberg, Bach, Goethe, Wagner, Planck, Kant, Diesel, Humbolt, just to name a few world renown German personalities, was somehow lapsed in godless "strength" to look the other way at the murder of six million Jews?
The american nation (separation of church and state) that produced Jefferson, Franklin, Washington, Lincoln, Edison, Carver, lapsed in strength to almost wipe out the indigenous Native Americans?
The abhorers who wrote tracts AGAINST genocidal activities were often Christians - Abolitionists at the mass crimes of the Atlantic Slaver Trade. - Methodists, Quakers, Mennonites here and in Britain. Those were all folks with God.
The Japanese were "well-adjusted" and without a Theos. It didn't stop them from making Chinese women by the thousands, "comfort women" for which I think the Chinese are still seeking a formal apology.
Maybe your little cut and dry theory is premature, not historically fool proof.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidNone of that explains how a new limb, organ, or any of the senses came into existence.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidThis an acknowledgment that in order to create information like your words at the beginning of this discussion, shows that intelligence is required?

@kellyjay saidYes sir, humans have highly evolved intelligence that enables us to formulate sentences. (Even sonship, on a good day).

Yes sir, humans have highly evolved intelligence that enables us to formulate sentences. (Even sonship, on a good day).
Okay. I'm working on not writing no double negatives.
How's our species served by evolving an intelligence smart enough launch thousands of atomic and hydrogen bombs at each other around the planet?
Say something about how mankind is benefitted by an intelligence smart enough to cause global climate change, threatening the extinction of life on the planet.
Just a few words. I'm curious.
@sonship saidIntelligence has been our salvation, but it may very well become our downfall.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidSo the instructions in DNA is incredibly more difficult and extremely longer than a few lines in a text. You think it all just occurred throughout time by an unguided process? The formation of all life and every detail in each appear as an unguided process that had no goal and didn’t favor anything above another?
