Smithsonian: How to Talk with Evangelicals about Evolution

[Thoth001]

The problem I have is such a giant leap in such a short amount of time.

4.5 Billion years isn't that short of a time.

Have they not found human bones that old or atleast close to humans? That is definitely another avenue to explore. Could it be that the humans were here even before the Neanderthals and the Apes? How do we know in earlier times that we or these other beings didn't create the Neanderthal or Apes from us?

I tend to subscribe the the Ancient Astronaut theory for humans. Either way they are all just theories and no one really knows for sure what exactly happened in the past. No doubt though that many things evolve over time. A good question I always thought of is if we evolved from Apes, why are there still Apes but their are no Neanderthals left?

..the theory is we did not evolve from apes.......

 

[Thoth001]

There is reasons why our "masters" won't tell us what really happened in the past.

Care to explain everything in this post?

If you are kept ignorant you are easier to control and manipulate?

Although some people act a lot like apes.

Science is science and theories are theories.

Actually, science is made up of theories. A theory is the best explanation for a phenomenon that fits the evidence and can be substantiated by experiment or observation.

The best example of that is Gravity. We commonly say there are 'Laws of Gravity'. But, that isn't precisely true. We know from observation and experiment the effects of gravity and with that knowledge, we can make very accurate predictions of those effect over vast times and distances. But, HOW gravity works is purely theoretical and we don't understand it well. So, in essence, gravity is just a theory -- a not well substantiated theory.

Because science is not dogmatic (like religion) when new evidence comes along that negates an existing theory, we discard that theory in favor of a better one that fits the evidence.

....at least we can see gravity at work...we can't see a theory at work--such as evolution....but creation has no theory

 

[Thoth001]

Who are our master? And what secret information do you believe they possess?

Shhhhhhhh. It's a secret...

Its isn't really a secret anymore and even JFK told the people in the 60's.

Well, fess up then.

I shared a link so you can start there, or you could listen to what JFK had to say.

watch out---you can't speak the truth

 

[Thoth001]

You making Meth in a lab don't count. I don't need to work in a laboratory to find information.

True, you just pull it from your arse. An enviable gift.

Sure ok Walter White.

And now we have the masked apes.They so dumb, they wear a mask that don't even block a virus if the germ theory is even true.

Can't somebody make it stop?

Well Walter's character knew about science. Unlike you, as you prove with every word you type.

Is it hard for you to see other points of view? I know that may be hard for a one tracked mind.

The part you are missing of 'everything in this post' is the bit your masters won't tell you about what really happened in the past. So what really happened?

Personally I think the Hobbits came first, then the Orcs.

There is a difference between science and mainstream science which has become dogmatic and much like a religion. Anybody steps outside their box of beliefs and the head scientific priests attack.

Consciousness came first and you are just experiencing being a human at this moment that you are focused on.

That is what we all want to know don't we?

See? I'm useless at talking about evolution.
