Evidence of Common Descent (LOTS, across the sciences)

[scruffy]

So why isn't everyone convinced?

Probably because they've never looked at the Wiki page about transcription factors.

Um.... no.

 

[scruffy]

Um.... no.

Climate change?

Oh wait, .... public school education!

 

[CrusaderFrank]

You missed the OP/Extensive Evidence of Evo with infinitely More information than the -0- you've posted in 7 years.

You missed the fact that you’re living in a simulation

 

[scruffy]

You missed the fact that you’re living in a simulation

What does that even mean?

 

[CrusaderFrank]

What does that even mean?

The Matrix was a documentary

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

How about a creature with wheels?

But I don't see how that proves the existence of a creator, the response would be from the evolution community, that there must be some hitherto unknown mechanism in evolution and that eventually we'll identify that, no need to posit a creator.

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

And I gave you the one, correct answer.

Your question is nonsensical. It's like asking what is north of the north pole.

Not at all, someone asks for "evidence of a creator" then they must have criteria for assessing any evidence we present to them. What's hard to understand about that?

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

That's the problem. There cannot be evidence of supernatural nonsense, axiomatically.

When you say "cannot" does that mean you can prove your claim? because if you cannot do that, then it's just another belief.

There also cannot be evidence against supernatural nonsense.

Again the positive statements are unsupported by evidence, you are just telling us what beliefs you hold.

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

Because people are prone to believing total nonsense. Like magical mythology.

That's true but people also hold rational and reasonable beliefs, beliefs like the conservation laws for example or the belief that one day men will walk on mars.

Climate change?

Oh wait, .... public school education!

Are you a climate change denier? If so what specifically do you believe about the future of the climate?

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

You're living in a delusion, simulations require simulators and the simulator might itself be a simulation and...

Go and read about what are termed "virtual machines" rather than watching science fiction films.

 

[Woodznutz]

People who believe in creation are generally healthier and happier than those who believe in evolution, so there's that.

Tell me again how random atoms form living cells!!

Evolution would be VERY unlikely to produce a creature with wheel since every intermediate step would have to offer some advantage. If you found a creature with wheels it would offer a serious threat to the theory of evolution.

 

[scruffy]

No. Go to school.

Nope.

Religious brainwashing.

That's why some fools don't believe it.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

I see it's make stuff up day again.

There aren't happier. They self report as happier.

They also self report as being special children of an invisible zombie God and will therefore live forever.

Sooooo..... maybe we don't take their self reporting all that seriously.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

When you say "cannot" does that mean you can prove your claim?

I said there cannot exist evidence for or against the supernatural.

Take some time with this statement, then maybe ask a question about it that makes more sense. I will attempt to answer.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Yes, true. But we are still hardwired to believe utter nonsense, all the same.
