You can't say, 'in my opinion, this is a logical fallacy' and expect that to hold up. That's not even trying to say 'it's just opinion, leave it be', you're saying that your OPINION determines the validity of others' LOGIC.

To be honest, I have sort of created my own theory throughout years of studying these controversial topics. I believe that in the beginning there was a god, however once he created matter and the space that surrounds us, and then evolution took it's course. And I mean going way back to the big bang (Which is not for sure), but the belief of evolving from a common ancestor of apes is included in my theory. I'm not sure if this is already a theory created, correct me if I'm wrong please. Everything in this life is much to complex to be created by nothing, there has been some divine intervention some where.

[QUOTE="Revinh"][QUOTE="quiglythegreat"][QUOTE="Revinh"]

and humans weren't because?

quiglythegreat

The entire reason that humans are more intelligent than other primates is that for whatever reason we got out of the trees often enough and long enough to develop hands with better dexterity. What this in turn led to was the crafting of very, very primitive tools, and then the brain began to evolve to think abstractly to plan the creation of these tools and that is the only reason that humans are any more intelligent than other species; we crashed stones together until we got a little smarter. Now we do the same with atoms.

You expect me to believe humans have far greater capabilities and potential simply because of that?

You may not because of other desires and fears and such you have which steer you away from this conclusion, but it is the logical conclusion, yes. The reason humans have such intellectual capacity was necesitated by the creation of essentially primitive tools. It forced us to think abstractly, to plan, and to use spatial logic, which has also helped us to develop complex structures in our language, another important thing.

No, because it IS a huge leap, and the fact is no other apes went their way of doing that, for some reason only humans did. It's up to you to believe your speculation. It's far more logical to me that we were created separate and different from apes/animals and didn't evolve from some ape like ancestor, endowed with an incredible brain, made in the image of the Creator.

later peeps, i gotta go watch some episodes of Heroes. evolution belongs in sci-fi shows..

It's not really that big a leap. I'm explaining the development of our brains' advantage over primates over eons, keep that in mind. The only major thing is that it made abstract thinking 'second nature'. You don't really seem to follow me here. Our brain is not drastically different. And when you say 'later peeps', you make me worry I waste my time responding.

I think Darwin's theory is a lot easier to belief than the Adam/Eve theory.

Here's my issue: your opinion does not determine what is or is not logical. Opinions theoretically pertain only to essentially illogical things. Once you take logic out of the equation, then you have opinion. Because I like Aphex Twin doesn't mean that liking the Cure is illogical; preference (opinion) is totally independent of reason and logic.

I haven't heard an intelligent response from you

Ive had my fair share of religious debate,for now i choose to spectate,besides it would lead nowhere.

then there's no use for you to say it's same for religion without saying much more

It was simply an under the breath response to the ignorant comment you made about evolution belonging in sci fi,as if it were fiction,when in-fact it is your view point that lacks evidence.

and humans weren't because?

xxDustmanxx

The entire reason that humans are more intelligent than other primates is that for whatever reason we got out of the trees often enough and long enough to develop hands with better dexterity. What this in turn led to was the crafting of very, very primitive tools, and then the brain began to evolve to think abstractly to plan the creation of these tools and that is the only reason that humans are any more intelligent than other species; we crashed stones together until we got a little smarter. Now we do the same with atoms.

You expect me to believe humans have far greater capabilities and potential simply because of that?

You may not because of other desires and fears and such you have which steer you away from this conclusion, but it is the logical conclusion, yes. The reason humans have such intellectual capacity was necesitated by the creation of essentially primitive tools. It forced us to think abstractly, to plan, and to use spatial logic, which has also helped us to develop complex structures in our language, another important thing.

No, because it IS a huge leap, and the fact is no other apes went their way of doing that, for some reason only humans did. It's up to you to believe your speculation. It's far more logical to me that we were created separate and different from apes/animals and didn't evolve from some ape like ancestor, endowed with an incredible brain, made in the image of the Creator.

"Belief" is an extremely skewed word to use to describe the Theory of Evolution. In the scientific world, you cannot "believe" anything per se. Belief implies adhering or following an idea without regards to reason, observation, or any sort of evidence, the opposite of science. In fact, there is so much evidence to support the theory of evolution that the "beliefs" of these zealots are essentially unimportant. However, it is very sad indeed that such a large percentage of the American population willingly chooses pure ignorance over the truth. People say "I don't believe in evolution" and think that for some reason their pathetic, uneducated opinion actually holds water in a serious debate. They are wrong. Nobody gives a damn if you personally think that evolution makes sense. It has essentially been proven scientifically, so if you want to challenge it you better come up with a better theory then "everything was magically created from nothing" and you better have an awful lot of evidence to back it up.

Non-evolutionists, ID'ers, or anyone else who is interested, watch this video if you get the chance

http://youtube.com/watch?v=JVRsWAjvQSg

It's very long, but it pretty much destroys the entire "theory" of intelligent design and describes in plain words the abundant evidence for evolution.

No, a frog won't do that, at least not in millions of years :lol: My point is that's basically what evolutionist believe, that creatures can go shapeshifting given enough time. I know enough to know the theory is false. If you want to believe in a fairy tale that's up to you.

Revinh
No that response still implies a frog will give birth to a non frog, but now with longer time. That's not what evolution says. A frog has always birthed frogs, and they will always birth frogs.

It IS scientifically and historically accurate. How was the flood disproven?

And while we're at it why don't you explain the humans' far greater capabilities than apes or any animal for that matter?

Revinh

1) Not enough water in the world both above and below ground to cause it.

2) For extraterrestrial sources to cause it the atmosphere would have been basically boiled upon the comet entering the atmosphere.

3) The building materials of the time were not sufficient for the supposed dimensions of the ark.

4) No part of the supposed ark was ever located despite it likely having landed in a glacier if the geography is to be believed.

The history channel had a pretty thorough piece on the whole matter.

As for our greater capabilities? No simple answer really does us justice but theres a few pretty simple things which explain much of it:

1) Opposable thumbs, these are not unique

2) Human intelligence, many other creatures are also highly intelligent

3) Speech, the really big distinguishing factor which could have easily evolved.

That is not even close to what scientists and all rational people believe. Frogs are amphibians, humans are mammals, we fall under entirely different categories in Kingdom Animalia and so can not evolve from each other, at least not directly although given enough time a similar species could evolve from amphibians.

We do however have a common ancestor.

It's what I've said earlier and it seems the most right conclusion, yet some don't believ in God at all to support this.

No I don't believe Darwins theory, the only people who do are those devout zealots brainwashed by the Darwinian religion.

Revinh

Oh Revin, don't you relise that everyone here could say that you're only one of those devout zealots brainwashed by the Christian religion?

There is no such thing as "Darwinism" or the "Darwininan religion". Just the Theory of Evolution, which you fail to fully understand and hence fail to argue against without bringing your religious bias in to it. Nothing you have presented has disproven The Theory of Evolution as a whole nor have you proven anything scientific about Intelligent Design.

I think everyone here might learn something in these six videos, starting with The 1st Foundational Falsehood of Creationism. That means you too, Revinh! If you can, after watching this, argue Intelligent Design scientificially and without slandering Evolution or referencing Genesis (a creation story) or the Bible, then I'm all ears.

That we have evolved from the apes (or share a common ancestor)?

Or do you believe in the existence of Adam and Eve, which were created by sand from the God?

humans are not a different, superior race
so, yes, humans evolved from the apes ancestors

To be honest, I have sort of created my own theory throughout years of studying these controversial topics. I believe that in the beginning there was a god, however once he created matter and the space that surrounds us, and then evolution took it's course. And I mean going way back to the big bang (Which is not for sure), but the belief of evolving from a common ancestor of apes is included in my theory. I'm not sure if this is already a theory created, correct me if I'm wrong please. Everything in this life is much to complex to be created by nothing, there has been some divine intervention some where.-R3Vo

That's basically my belief, if you look on page 12. I'm a proud catholic, and creationism sometimes really ticks me off. I forgot, does anyone know where the book of Genesis (adam and eve, noah) came from/was adapted from?

"Darwinism" is synonymous with the ideas presented in The Origin of the Species by Natural Selection. We do not use "Darwinism" for modern neo-Darwinism -- the initial theory did not have a mechanism for natural selection, only the observation of natural selection.

Yup. Homo Sapiens evolved from Homo Erectus, or Homo Neanderthalis I think.


Tee-hee. Homo Erectus".Anyways, I don't see how one can not believe in Evolution. The amount of evidence is simply overwhelming.

FACT: Evolution is happening right now with diseases such as Turburculosis, making new strains of TB that are immune to everything we throw at it.

You're explanation is logical fallacy, at least imo. but if you want to believe it it's your choice

Please explain how, instead of simply falling on the Appeal to Ridicule. You gave no argument, but instead simply chose mockery. I have not seen a single decent argument from you in this entire thread. >_>

Neo-Darwinism is Darwin's theory with Mendel's genetics applied to it -- neo-Darwinism is the modern theory of evolution.
